  1. 1. Parity Effects in Single Charge Tunneling

    Författare :Magnus Gisselfält; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mesoscopic; single charge tunneling; photon-assisted tunneling; shot noise; SET transistor; parity effect; Andreev tunneling; Coulomb blockade;

    Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is single charge tunneling effects, especially parity effects, as they are manifested in quantum mechanical tunneling through a metallic island small enough to cause single electrons to block tunneling of other electrons due to Coulomb interaction. When the island is superconducting the ground state energy depends on the parity of the number of electrons on the island: outside of the condensate there will always be at least one electron contributing to the energy for an odd number of electrons and this will have observable consequences.

  3. 2. Quantum effects in nanoscale Josephson junction circuits

    Författare :Silvia Corlevi; David B. Haviland; Jukka Pekola; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Josephson junctions; Josephson junction arrays; electromagnetic environment; Cooper pair transistor; parity effects; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the results of an experimental study on single-charge effects in nanoscale Josephson junctions and Cooper pair transistors (CPTs). In nanoscale Josephson junctions the charging energy EC becomes significant at sub-Kelvin temperatures and single-charge effects, such as the Coulomb blockade of Cooper pair tunneling, influence the transport properties.

  4. 3. Low-density parity-check codes : unequal error protection and reduction of clipping effects

    Författare :Sara Sandberg; David Declercq; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signalbehandling; Signal Processing;

    Sammanfattning : The invention of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes made reliable communication possible at transmission rates very close to the theoretical limit predicted by Shannon. However, communication close to the Shannon limit requires very long codes and results in long delay and high encoder and decoder complexity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modulation and channel effects in digital communication

    Författare :Sara Sandberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signalbehandling; Signal Processing;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates three possible methods to increase the performance of digital communication systems, with focus on wireless systems, by accounting for some of the channel effects that may occur. The modulation scheme plays an important role in the impact of different channel effects on system performance and this work considers both a single-carrier system and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).
