s(t) Digital Input Data ak Pulse Amplitude Modulator Transmit Filter g(t) Baseband Digital Signals The simplest digital baseband systems transmit binary data made up of pulses. These Pulse Amplitude Modulated (PAM) signals can be represented as The symbol ‘a’ represents the signal amplitude, and T is the bit duration. Block diagram of PAM signal generation [6].
Baseband Digital Signals The power spectrum of the PAM signal is Where the power spectrum of the uncorrelated symbols is given by , and G(f) is the spectrum of the pulse g(t)

Antipodal Signal 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 Filtering • 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 • Pulse signals were generated using 256 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 & hard threshold • Threshold set to σ/2. • Only 64 coefficients retained
Results • Both the WD and classical TD receivers provided similar results. • The WDC provides improvement in processing speed since only • 64 vice 256 coefficients were used in the correlations.
Summary • Receiver for PAM signals in the presence of AWGN. • Uses the matched filtering of 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
