Abstract
A novel concepts of decision circuit and Bit-error-rate (BER) estimation method for Absolute Polar Duty Cycle Division Multiplexing (AP-DCDM) is proposed The concepts have significant differences to those used in conventional microwave communication receivers. This is due to the unique characteristics of the multilevel signal produced in AP-DCDM system. The BER estimation method is validated by simulation and compared against bit-to-bit comparison method Copyright (C) 2008 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.
