Publisher's Synopsis
A proposed wavelet domain communication system (WDCS) using transform domain processing is demonstrated as having enhanced interference avoidance capability under adverse environmental conditions. The WDCS system samples the environment and uses the wavelet transform, to determine interference presence and time/scale location. A digital communication waveform (basis function) is subsequently designed in the wavelet domain to specifically avoid regions containing interference. The WDCS basis function is data modulated prior to transmission. Assuming perfect synchronization, the receiver replicates a locally generated basis function for correlating with the received signal and demodulating the data. The proposed system is modeled and simulation results are obtained using MATLAB. Bit error rate is the metric for analysis and performance comparisons. Relative to an equivalent DSSS, the WDCS provided bit error performance improvement in several different interference scenarios.
