This is an assignment of the first semester of my Masters in Networked Systems.

The Project wants to access different Modulation Techniques for Embedded Systems. More specifically, I want to investigate what alternatives to the LoRa Modulation exists or are being currently researched.

The first Modulation Technique I am interested is M-ary Aggregate Spread Spektrum Pulse Modulation presented in following papers:

[1] Nikitin, A. V., & Davidchack, R. L. (2020). Pulsed waveforms and intermittently nonlinear filtering in synthesis of low-SNR and covert communications. IEEE Access, 8, 173250-173266.
