%%%%%----------- 2019/08/27 readme.txt -----------%%%%% This .txt document describes how to make use of the data in this depository. %%%%%------------- Simulated Data ----------------%%%%% All simulated data here is contained within the Excel file 'SimulationData.xls' Within this file, each tab contains data produced by CST Microwave Studio and is labelled with the figure number in the journal paper. Each tab contains information on key parameters used in the simulations, which should be compared with the journal paper for full understanding. %%%%%------------- Antenna Measurements ----------------%%%%% Key measured antenna parameters are contained in three files. First, the Excel file 'SParametersMeas.xls' contains measured S11 and S21 data of the antenna with various bias voltages, performed in an anechoic chamber with a network analyzer. This data is in the journal paper as Figures 12a and 12b. Second, co-polar antenna pattern measurements performed in an anechoic chamber are in the Excel file 'PatternMeas.xls'. This data is used in Fig. 14 in the journal paper, and includes the phase-versus-viewing angle information used to produce Fig. 13. Finally, cross-polar pattern measurements are stored as MATLAB data file 'XPolarPattern.mat' which are also used in Fig. 14 in the journal paper. %%%%%------------- System Measurements ----------------%%%%% Two kinds of system measurements are presented in the journal paper. Measured processed constellations are shown in Fig. 16, and are here stored as .mat files in compressed folder 'MeasuredConstellations.zip'. The filenames within this folder show whether the data is from using BPSK, QPSK or 8PSK modulation; whether it is a balanced or unbalanced constellation; and the transmit power used in dBm. The transmit powers used were chosen to produce a constant Eb/N0 value across all measured constellations. Error Rate measurements are also produced for a variety of transmit powers, and are stored as .mat files in compressed folder 'BERMeasurements.zip' The files are labelled as being either 'DAM', where the novel modulation technique is used, or 'R_S', where instrument grade conventional modulation is used. The modulation format and whether the constellation is balanced or unbalanced is also given in the filenames. Each file contains the transmit power in dBm, and the measured bit error rate, symbol error rate and packet error rate. In the journal paper this data is presented in Fig. 17. %%%%%------------- Document Ends ----------------%%%%%
