Optical communication systems, which operate at very high rates, are often limited by the sampling rate bottleneck. The optical wideband regime may exceed analog to digital converters (ADCs) front-end bandwidth. Multi-channel sampling approaches, such as multicoset or interleaved ADCs, have been proposed to sample the wideband signal using several channels. Each channel samples below the Nyquist rate such that the overall sampling rate is preserved. However, this scheme suffers from two practical limitations that make its implementation difficult. First, the inherent anti-aliasing filter of the samplers distorts the wideband signal. Second, it requires accurate time shifts on the order of the signals Nyquist rate, which are challenging to maintain. In this work, we propose an alternative multi-channel sampling scheme, the wideband demodulator for optical waveforms (WINDOW), based on analog RF demodulation, where each channel aliases the spectrum using a periodic mixing function before integration and sampling. We show that intentionally using the inherent ADC filter to perform integration increases the signal to noise ratio (SNR). We demonstrate both theoretically and through numerical experiments that our system outperforms multicoset in terms of signal recovery and symbol estimation in the presence of both thermal and quantization noise but is slightly less robust to timing jitter.

In optical wireless scattering communication, received signal in each symbol interval is captured by a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and then sampled through very short but finite interval sampling. The resulting samples form a signal vector for symbol detection. The upper and lower bounds on transmission rate of such a processing system are studied. It is shown that the gap between two bounds approaches zero as the thermal noise and shot noise variances approach zero. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) signal detection is performed and a low computational complexity receiver is derived under piecewise polynomial approximation. Meanwhile, the threshold based signal detection is also studied, where two threshold selection rules are proposed based on the detection error probability and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance. For the latter, it is shown that the KL distance is not sensitive to the threshold selection for small shot and thermal noise variances, and thus the threshold can be selected among a wide range without significant loss from the optimal KL distance. The performances of the transmission rate bounds, the signal detection, and the threshold selection approaches are evaluated by the numerical results.
We derive bounds on the noncoherent capacity of a very general class of multiple-input multiple-output channels that allow for selectivity in time and frequency as well as for spatial correlation. The bounds apply to peak-constrained inputs; they are explicit in the channels scattering function, are useful for a large range of bandwidth, and allow to coarsely identify the capacity-optimal combination of bandwidth and number of transmit antennas. Furthermore, we obtain a closed-form expression for the first-order Taylor series expansion of capacity in the limit of infinite bandwidth. From this expression, we conclude that in the wideband regime: (i) it is optimal to use only one transmit antenna when the channel is spatially uncorrelated; (ii) rank-one statistical beamforming is optimal if the channel is spatially correlated; and (iii) spatial correlation, be it at the transmitter, the receiver, or both, is beneficial.

Benefiting from tens of GHz bandwidth, terahertz (THz) communication is considered to be a promising technology to provide ultra-high speed data rates for future 6G wireless systems. To compensate for the serious propagation attenuation of THz signal s, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with hybrid precoding can be utilized to generate directional beams with high array gains. However, the standard hybrid precoding architecture based on frequency-independent phase-shifters cannot cope with the beam split effect in THz massive MIMO systems, where the directional beams will split into different physical directions at different subcarrier frequencies. The beam split effect will result in a serious array gain loss across the entire bandwidth, which has not been well investigated in THz massive MIMO systems. In this paper, we first reveal and quantify the seriousness of the beam split effect in THz massive MIMO systems by analyzing the array gain loss it causes. Then, we propose a new precoding architecture called delay-phase precoding (DPP) to mitigate this effect. Specifically, the proposed DPP introduces a time delay network as a new precoding layer between radio-frequency chains and phase-shifters in the standard hybrid precoding architecture. In this way, conventional phase-controlled analog beamforming can be converted into delay-phase controlled analog beamforming. Unlike frequency-independent phase shifts, the time delay network introduced in the DPP can realize frequency-dependent phase shifts, which can be designed to generate frequency-dependent beams towards the target physical direction across the entire THz bandwidth. Due to the joint control of delay and phase, the proposed DPP can significantly relieve the array gain loss caused by the beam split effect. Furthermore, we propose a hardware structure by using true-time-delayers to realize the concept of DPP.
We describe a method of constructing a sequence of phase coded waveforms with perfect autocorrelation in the presence of Doppler shift. The constituent waveforms are Golay complementary pairs which have perfect autocorrelation at zero Doppler but are sensitive to nonzero Doppler shifts. We extend this construction to multiple dimensions, in particular to radar polarimetry, where the two dimensions are realized by orthogonal polarizations. Here we determine a sequence of two-by-two Alamouti matrices where the entries involve Golay pairs and for which the sum of the matrix-valued ambiguity functions vanish at small Doppler shifts. The Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence plays a key role in the construction of Doppler resilient sequences of Golay pairs.
We present a general method for constructing radar transmit pulse trains and receive filters for which the radar point-spread function in delay and Doppler (radar cross-ambiguity function) is essentially free of range sidelobes inside a Doppler inter val around the zero-Doppler axis. The transmit and receive pulse trains are constructed by coordinating the transmission of a pair of Golay complementary waveforms across time according to zeros and ones in a binary sequence $P$. In the receive pulse train filter, each waveform is weighted according to an element from another sequence $Q$. We show that the spectrum of essentially the product of $P$ and $Q$ sequences controls the size of the range sidelobes of the cross-ambiguity function. We annihilate the range sidelobes at low Doppler by designing the $(P,Q)$ pairs such that their products have high-order spectral nulls around zero Doppler. We specify the subspace, along with a basis, for such sequences, thereby providing a general way of constructing $(P,Q)$ pairs. At the same time, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver output, for a single point target in white noise, depends only on the choice of $Q$. By jointly designing the transmit-receive sequences $(P,Q)$, we can maximize the output SNR subject to achieving a given order of the spectral null. The proposed $(P,Q)$ constructions can also be extended to sequences consisting of more than two complementary waveforms; this is done explicitly for a library of Golay complementary quads. Finally, we extend the construction of $(P,Q)$ pairs to multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar, by designing transmit-receive pairs of paraunitary waveform matrices whose matrix-valued cross-ambiguity function is essentially free of range sidelobes inside a Doppler interval around the zero-Doppler axis.
