Space-polarization modulated communications
Methods and systems relating to topics in space-polarization modulated communications. The topics include: adaptive space-polarization modulated communications using channel state information at the transmitter; adaptive decision boundaries at the receiver; carrier frequency offset estimation for multi-carrier modulation schemes; transmission of analog images using polarization and coherence dispersion information; and reduction of peak-to-average power ratio in multi-carrier modulation schemes.
1. A method for transmitting data to a receiver using an analog modulation scheme, the method comprising:
mapping pixels of image data to analog coordinates on a manifold corresponding to a pair of signals;
modulating polarization or coherence states of a plurality of frequency sub-bands for the pair of signals based on the analog coordinates; and
transmitting the pair of signals to a receiver.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image data comprises forward error correction data.
