Upcoming Talk
Title: Advances in Narrow Bandwidth Coding
Speaker: John B Anderson
Date and Time: 06/04/2025, 11:00AM ET
Location: Rhodes Hall 310 and Zoom
Abstract:
Narrowband coding schemes began in 1975 with James Mazo, who called his faster than Nyquist signaling. The subject has developed rapidly in the last 20 years, to include concrete methods that perform near capacity in one quarter the bandwidth of ordinary QPSK. It works with a different capacity measure, non-orthogonal pulses, and non-binary codewords. We give a first introduction to these ideas and explore how narrow band differs from traditional error-correction coding.
