Transmitting analog audio, video, or sensor data with a digital system requires sampling and quantization. While a sampled bandlimited signal can be reconstructed perfectly if the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is met, quantization unavoidably adds irreversible errors. Given a certain bitrate for quantization (or source coding in general), the achievable signal quality is therefore limited. Transmission of the signal over a noisy channel causes additional errors. If some part of the bitrate is used for protecting the signal with a channel code, these additional errors can be reduced or even eliminated. However, this reduces the achievable maximum quality if the gross bitrate is fixed. Since this compromise between quantization and channel coding is often designed for the worst-case channel, the signal quality saturates early with increasing channel quality, and transmission over a better channel is far below optimum.Instead of conventional digital systems, this thesis covers a continuous-amplitude, discrete-time system. Such a system does not exhibit this saturation of the signal quality, as its performance further improves with increasing channel quality. An example of such a system is a channel coding strategy using analog modulo block codes (AMB codes) for error protection. The encoder multiplies the unquantized symbol vector with a code matrix and limits the transmission power with a modulo operation. In practice, AMB coding is implemented by digital signal processing. The digital representation of the information symbols can be very precise and no coarse quantization is required for bitrate reduction.In this thesis, AMB codes are analyzed, designed, and evaluated. The resulting code words, consisting of a lattice and a continuous component, are presented and analyzed. New decoding techniques are developed and evaluated. Additionally, a novel method to analytically estimate the quality of the decoded signal in terms of signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) can replace computationally much more demanding simulations in many cases. This estimation strategy allows evaluating the usefulness of codes with different dimensionalities. A new, efficient design concept is developed for codes with a single input symbol, which are most promising in terms of complexity and performance. Asystem using AMBcodes outperforms traditional digital transmission systems with short block lengths for medium to high signal-to-noise ratios on the channel. Due to their typically very short block length and low encoding complexity, AMB codes are especially well suited for low-delay, low-power applications, such as hearing aids, wireless microphones, and wireless sensor networks.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Rarewaves.com USA, Unit 144 The Lightbox, 111 Power Road, W4 5PY, London, London, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
