Abstract

The effects of impulse noise on receiving systems are studied and impulse noise models commonly used in analysis of such receiving systems are introduced. Various techniques for identifying the optimum receiving structure are presented and the concept of a nonlinear receiver for enhancing receiver environments is evolved. performance in impulse noise The effect of finite predetection bandwidth on the performance of such nonlinear receiver structures is studied in a qualitative fashion through computer simulation. The performance of a linear receiver (matched filter) is compared to that of nonlinear receiver structures employing nonlinearities such as blanker and softlimiter; noncoherent ASK modulation was used for the computer simulation experiment. The performance of the blanker and softlimiter is then compared for different predetection bandwidths. An attempt was made to optimize a particular receiver structure in terms of the predetection bandwidth, for a given model of corrupting noise parameters (Gauss~an and impulsive).
