Data Transmission in Digital Video Broadcasting Systems
This book deals with the broadcasting of both global and local content in terrestrial television systems. Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a widely adopted standard for terrestrial television transmission, delivering both global and local content. While global content is network-wide, local content is region-specific and typically requires additional spectrum when transmitted using separate frequencies. To enhance spectral efficiency and cost-effectiveness, hierarchical modulation within a Single Frequency Network (SFN) enables both content types to be embedded into a single constellation and transmitted simultaneously. Additionally, a Selected Subcarrier (SS) technique is proposed where only a subset of orthogonal carriers transmits local content, avoiding interference with global content while allowing flexible regional broadcasting. Collectively, these innovations offer a robust, spectrally efficient solution for advanced DVB systems, enabling improved coverage and adaptability for both local and global content delivery.

Nonlinear Distortion in Modern Communication Systems
Nonlinear distortion is a major challenge in modern communication systems, appearing as harmonic distortion, gain compression, intermodulation, and adjacent channel interference. OFDM, widely used for its high data rates and robustness, suffers from a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), pushing power amplifiers into nonlinear operation. This research includes mathematical modeling and MATLAB simulations of OFDM transceivers using QPSK and QAM with varying subcarriers. Results show that 4-QAM has 1 dB higher PAPR than QPSK. Linearization of Class B solid-state power amplifiers via feedback, feedforward, and digital predistortion (DPD) was studied, with DPD offering the best performance-0 dBm amplitude reduction and 20 dB ACPR suppression at 10 MHz. To reduce PAPR, techniques like clipping and filtering, SLM, PTS, and SC-FDMA were analyzed. IFDMA achieved the lowest PAPR of 0.4 dB, followed by SLM (4.4 dB), PTS (4.3 dB), and clipping/filtering (1.9 dB). While IFDMA yields excellent results with slight complexity, clipping/filtering is simple but affects spectral purity and BER.
KVS Approach

Dynamic Wireless Charging of Electric Vechile with Metering System
As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road continues to grow, there is an increasing need for efficient and convenient ways to charge them. One promising solution is wireless power transfer (WPT), which would allow EVs to charge while they are in motion. WPT technology is still in its early stages, but there is potential for it to be used for charging EVs in the future. This would eliminate the need for electric vehicles to stop and plug into a charging station and could enable electric vehicles to travel long distances without the need to stop for a recharge. This method is also called Dynamic Charging of EVs. The receiving supply will be given to the vehicles battery and control system. But we can measure the power consumption at each interval of time. This problem will be solved by installing a metering system in the EV. A metering system records the energy usage during charging sessions. It allows customers to monitor their usage on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.
