Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in accurately separating signals from noise in phase-shift keyed and amplitude-phase modulated signals, especially at low signal-to-noise ratios, leading to high bit error rates and limited data transfer rates.

Innovation Solution

A system employing a linear analog filter, such as a low-pass or band-pass filter, in conjunction with an analog-to-digital converter and a solver-separator component, uses a linear separating matrix to suppress noise and achieve clean signal separation by solving a system of linear algebraic equations based on discrete measurements.

Solution Approach 1:

The received signal is divided into in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components through quadrature demodulation. This segmentation allows independent processing of signal components, enabling more effective noise filtering and signal reconstruction while maintaining high transmission speed and reducing bit error rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A digital signal processor acts as an intermediary between the analog receiver and the decision-making unit. It implements sophisticated algorithms including adaptive filtering, equalization, and error correction coding to separate signal from noise, thereby achieving both high speed and low error rates
