Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”

Investigation on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation by Fan, Rui

“…For constellation sizes higher than BPSK, such superiority is only observed for very few carefully chosen system configurations. Motivated by the above analysis, this thesis focuses on improving OFDM-IM in terms of BER performance and spectral efficiency when BPSK, Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and constellation sizes higher than QPSK are adopted, respectively. …”
