Overview • Introduction • FSK Signals • Wavelet Domain Filtering • Wavelet Domain Correlation Receiver • Simulations and Results • Summary
FSK Signals In binary frequency shift keying modulation, the binary information is transmitted using signals at two different frequencies. These signals can be represented as The symbol A represents the signal amplitude, and T is the bit duration. It is easy to show that the bit energy is given by
FSK Signal This figure shows an example of a binary FSK signal. Notice that the transmitted signal case a constant envelope and abrupt phase changes at the beginning of each signal interval.
FSK Probability of Bit Error • Assuming the received signal at the input to the correlator is corrupted with Gaussian noise of zero mean and variance No/2. The probability of bit error can be computed to be [5] • It can be seen that the probability does not depend on the detailed signal and noise characteristics, but only upon the signal to noise ratio per bit (SNR) [6].

Wavelet Domain Correlation • transform prototype signal into the wavelet domain and pre-stored DWT coefficients • transform received signal into the wavelet domain via the DWT, • apply a non-linear threshold to the DWT coefficients (to remove noise), • correlate the noise free DWT coefficients of the signal, and the pre-stored • DWT coefficients of the prototype signal.

Simulation • FSK signals were generated using 128 samples per symbol • Monte Carlo Runs at each SNR with different instance of AWGN • 10 SNR’s between -6 and +10 dB • Symmlet 8 wavelet & soft threshold • Threshold set to σ/10. • Only 32 coefficients retained
Results • Both the WDC and classical TDC provided similar results. • The WDC provides improvement in processing speed since only • 32 vice 128 coefficients were used in the correlations.
Summary • Receiver for FSK signals in the presence of AWGN. • Uses the cross- correlation between DWT coefficients • Procedure is enhanced by using standard wavelet noise removal techniques • Simulations of the performance of the proposed algorithm were presented.

EFFECTIVENESS OF WAVELET ANALYSIS • Wavelets are adjustable and adaptable by virtue of large number of possible wavelet bases. • DWT well suited to digital implementation. ~O (N) • Ideally suited for analysis non-stationary signals [ Strang, 1996] • Has been shown to be a viable denoising technique for transients [Donoho, 1995] • Has been shown to be a viable detection technique for transients [Carter, 1994] • Has been shown to be a viable TDOA technique for transients [Wu, 1997]

Calculating a Threshold Let the DWT coefficient be a series of noisy observations y(n) then the following parameter estimation problem exists: y(n) = f(n) +s z(n), n = 1,2,…. z ~N(0,1) and s = noise std. s is estimated from the data by analysis of the coefficients at the lowest scale. s = E/0.6475 where E is the absolute median deviation [Kenny]
Thresholding Techniques * Hard Thresholding (keep or kill) * Soft Thresholding (reduce all by Threshold) The Threshold Value is determined as a multiple of the noise standard deviation, eg., T = ms where typically 2< m <5
