Efficient Design of Waveforms for Robust Pulse Amplitude Modulation

In this paper, a large and flexible set of computationally efficient algorithms is developed for the design of waveforms for pulse amplitude modulation that provide robust performance in the presence of uncertainties in the channel and noise models. Performance is measured either by a sensitivity function for threshold detection or by the mean square error of the data estimate. For uncertainties that are modeled as being deterministically …
