Abstract

Recent work has suggested the possibility of using homogenous signals, which can be conveniently represented in terms of orthonormal wavelet basis sets, as the modulating waveforms in communications systems. In order to research the performance of this “fractal modulation”, we have developed a simulator and a high-level implementation of a complete transceiver, comprising: transmitter, channel, receiver, and data generation and verification components. Simulation results of this implementation matches the theoretical performance for fractal modulation over a channel with additive white Gaussian noise
