Performance Analysis of Multiband Impulse Radio UWB Communication System Based on PSWF

To improve the data transmission rate and use spectrum flexibly, a new spectrum allocation method for Multiband Impulse Radio UWB (MB-IR-UWB) is proposed in this paper based on the band-limited and orthogonal characteristics of Prolate Spheroidal Wave Function (PSWF). The system model is built and the bit error rate (BER) formula is deprived by binary time hopping pulse position modulation under additive white Gaussian noise. Moreover, the system performance is analyzed via MATLB simulation. The results indicate that MB-IR-UWB system performance of BER is the same with single-band UWB. However, in the proposed scheme the data can be transmitted in multiple parallel bands, which enjoys much higher transmission rate. In addition, PSWF pulse duration affects the BER performance.

This paper studies the dispersion characteristics of a modified photonic band-gap slow-wave structure with an open boundary by simulation and experiment. A mode launcher with a wheel radiator and a coupling probe is presented to excite a pure TM01-like mode. The cold test and simulation results show that the TM01-like mode is effectively excited and no parasitic modes appear. The dispersion characteristics obtained from the cold test are in good agreement with the calculated results.

Key Radar Signal Sorting and Recognition Method Based on Clustering Combined with PRI Transform Algorithm

In this paper,we investigate the problem of key radar signal sorting and recognition in electronic intelligence(ELINT).Our major contribution is the development of a combined approach based on clustering and pulse repetition interval(PRI)transform algorithm,to solve the problem that the traditional methods based on pulse description word(PDW)were not exclusively targeted at tiny particular signals and were less time-efficient.We achieve this in three steps:firstly,PDW presorting is carried out by the DBSCAN(Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise)clustering algorithm,and then PRI estimates of each cluster are obtained by the PRI transform algorithm.Finally,by judging the matching between various PRI estimates and key targets,it is determined whether the current signal contains key target signals or not.Simulation results show that the proposed method should improve the time efficiency of key signal recognition and deal with the complex signal environment with noise interference and overlapping signals.

A background refinement method based on local density for hyperspectral anomaly detection

For anomaly detection,anomalies existing in the background will affect the detection performance.Accordingly,a background refinement method based on the local density is proposed to remove the anomalies from thebackground.In this work,the local density is measured by its spectral neighbors through a certain radius which is obtained by calculating the mean median of the distance matrix.Further,a two-step segmentation strategy is designed.The first segmentation step divides the original background into two subsets,a large subset composed by background pixels and a small subset containing both background pixels and anomalies.The second segmentation step employing Otsu method with an aim to obtain a discrimination threshold is conducted on the small subset.Then the pixels whose local densities are lower than the threshold are removed.Finally,to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,it combines Reed-Xiaoli detector and collaborative-representation-based detector to detect anomalies.Experiments are conducted on two real hyperspectral datasets.Results show that the proposed method achieves better detection performance.

The fabrication and performance of 160-nm gate-length metamorphic AlInAs/GaInAs high electron mobility transistors （mHEMTs） grown on GaAs substrate by metal organic chemical vapour deposition （MOCVD） are reported. By using a novel combined optical and e-beam photolithography technology, submicron mHEMTs devices have been achieved. The devices exhibit good DC and RF performance. The maximum current density was 817 mA/mm and the maximum transconductance was 828 mS/mm. The non-alloyed Ohmic contact resistance Rc was as low as 0.02 Ω- ram. The unity current gain cut-off frequency （fT） and the maximum oscillation frequency （fmax） were 146 GHz and 189 GHz, respectively. This device has the highest fT yet reported for a 160-nm gate-length HEMTs grown by MOCVD. The output conductance is 28.9 mS/mm, which results in a large voltage gain of 28.6, Also, an input capacitance to gate-drain feedback capacitance ratio, Cgs/Cgd, of 4.3 is obtained in the device.

Mobile channel estimation for MU-MIMO systems using KL expansion based extrapolation

In multi-user multiple input multiple output （MU-MIMO） systems, the outdated channel state information at the transmit- ter caused by channel time variation has been shown to greatly reduce the achievable ergodic sum capacity. A simple yet effec- tive solution to this problem is presented by designing a channel extrapolator relying on Karhunen-Loeve （KL） expansion of time- varying channels. In this scheme, channel estimation is done at the base station （BS） rather than at the user terminal （UT）, which thereby dispenses the channel parameters feedback from the UT to the BS. Moreover, the inherent channel correlation and the parsimonious parameterization properties of the KL expan- sion are respectively exploited to reduce the channel mismatch error and the computational complexity. Simulations show that the presented scheme outperforms conventional schemes in terms of both channel estimation mean square error （MSE） and ergodic capacity.

NOVEL RADAR SIGNAL SORTING METHOD BASED ON GEOMETRIC COVERING

With the increase of complexity of electromagnetic environment and continuous appearance of advanced system radars,signals received by radar reconnaissance receivers become even more intensive and complex.Therefore,traditional radar sorting methods based on neural network algorithms and support vector machine(SVM) cannot process them effectively.Aiming at solving this problem,a novel radar signal sorting method based on the cloud model theory and the geometric covering algorithm is proposed.By applying the geometric covering algorithm to divide input signals into different covering domains based on their distribution characteristics,the method can overcome a typical problem that it is easy for traditional sorting algorithms to fall into the local extrema due to the use of complex nonlinear equation to describe input signals.The method uses the cloud model to describe the membership degree between signals to be sorted and their covering domains,thus it avoids the disadvantage that traditional sorting methods based on hard clustering cannot deinterleave the signal samples with overlapped parameters. Experimental results show that the presented method can effectively sort advanced system radar signals with overlapped parameters in complex electromagnetic environment.

Performance Analysis of Optimal Demodulation for APK Without Constellation Knowledge

In this paper,a novel demodulation algorithm without constellation knowledge ( CK) for Amplitude-Phase Keying ( APK) signals is introduced,which is based on the minimum probability of symbol error ( MPSE) criterion,optimal in performance and suitable for non-cooperative communication. For reducing the complexity,an on-line algorithm is derived. Using preceding algorithms,asymptotic performance of the proposed algorithm is proved theoretically. Numerical simulations are also provided to validate the analytical results. Our study of asymptotic performance shows that the performance of demodulation for any APK signals without CK is identical with the APK optimal receiver with CK when the number of available data symbols goes to infinity.

Detecting hydrosonic signal using a polarization technique

Some optical fiber hydrophones, such as PGC Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, have a birefringence of single mode optical fibers which induce signal fading. Especially, if two optical beams from the optical arms are orthogonal, the interferomic signal can’t be detected at all. Here a new method is introduced. This is to translate the detected phase difference into a linearly polarized angle, then detect it, so that polarization inducing signal fading will be avoided. In theory, this problem is solved. Furthermore, the effect on measurement results from optical source fluctuation becomes little when using the polarization technique.

APPLICATION OF TURBO CODES IN HIGH-SPEED REAL-TIME CHANNEL

The time delay of Turbo codes due to its iterative decoding is the main bottleneck of its application in real-time channel. However, the time delay can be greatly shortened through the adoption of parallel decod-ing algorithm, dividing the received bits into several sub-blocks and processing in parallel. This letter mainly discusses the applicability of turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel through the study of a parallel turbo decoding algorithm based on 3GPP-proposed turbo encoder and interleaver in various channel. Simulation re-sult shows that, by choosing an appropriate sub-block length, the time delay can be obviously shortened with-out degrading the performance and increasing hardware complexity, and furthermore indicates the applicability of Turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel.

A Non-Maximally Decimated Dynamic Reconfigurable Channelized Structure Based on Modulated Filter Bank

A structure of dynamic reconfigurable channelized filter bank is proposed in order to solve the problem that the uniform channelized receiver cannot receive the cross-channel and wideband signal. The dynamic reconfigurable channelized filter bank is divided into two parts-the analysis filter bank and the synthesis filter bank. The function of the analysis filter bank is to divide the received signal into several sub-signals according to the channel division. Then the sub-signals of each channel need to be detected and discriminated. At last, we use the sub-signals to reconstruct the original received signal by the synthesis filter bank. The analysis filter and the synthesis filter bank of the dynamic reconfigurable channelized filter bank are all efficient polyphase structures, so it can save more hardware resources and has extensive applicability. The structure is simulated by MATLAB and the simulation results verify the correctness of this structure.

Real-Time Underwater Image Enhancement Using Adaptive Full-Scale Retinex

Current Retinex-based image enhancement methods with fixed scale filters cannot adapt to situations involving various depths of field and illuminations.In this paper,a simple but effective method based on adaptive full-scale Retinex(AFSR)is proposed to clarify underwater images or videos.First,we design an adaptive full-scale filter that is guided by the optical transmission rate to estimate illumination components.Then,to reduce the computational complexity,we develop a quantitative mapping method instead of non-linear log functions for directly calculating the reflection component.The proposed method is capable of real-time processing of underwater videos using temporal coherence and Fourier transformations.Compared with eight state-of-the-art clarification methods,our method yields comparable or better results for image contrast enhancement,color-cast correction and clarity.
