In this study, a signal detection method to remove the noise for actual speech signals is proposed by using Bayesian estimation with the aid of bone-conducted speech. More specifically, by introducing Bayes’ theorem based on the observation of air-conducted speech contaminated by surrounding background noise, a new type of algorithm for noise removal is theoretically derived. In the proposed speech detection method, bone-conducted speech is utilized in order to obtain precise estimation for speech signals. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally confirmed by applying it to air- and bone-conducted speeches measured in real environment under the existence of surrounding background noise.展开更多

Successive interference cancellation(SIC) is proved to be an effective method to detect the NOMA signal by ordering the power of received signals and then decoding them. However, the error accumulation effect referred to as error propagation is an inevitable problem. In this paper,we propose a convolutional neural networks(CNNs) approach to restore the desired signal impaired by the multiple input multiple output(MIMO) channel. Especially in the uplink NOMA scenario,the proposed method can decode multiple users' information in a cluster instantaneously without any traditional communication signal processing steps. Simulation experiments are conducted in the Rayleigh channel and the results demonstrate that the error performance of the proposed learning system outperforms that of the classic SIC detection. Consequently, deep learning has disruptive potential to replace the conventional signal detection method.展开更多

Using Monte Carlo simulation, we have determined the response of a gamma spectrometer to individual and grouped hot particles randomly distributed in a soil matrix of 1-L and 0.6-L sample containers. By exploring the fact that the peak-to-total ratio of efficiencies in gamma spectrometry is an empirical parameter, we derived and verified a power-law relationship between the peak efficiency and peak-to-total ratio. This enabled creation of a novel calibration model which was demonstrated to reduce the bias range and bias standard deviation, caused by measuring hot particles, by several times, as compared with the homogeneous calibration. The new model is independent of the number, location, and distribution of hot particles in the samples. In this work, we demonstrated successful performance of the model for a single-peak <sup>137</sup>Cs radionuclide. An extension to multi-peak radionuclide was also derived.展开更多

The design is suitable for weak RF signal detection and spectroscopy from ultra-cold systems confined in cryogenic RF cavities, as entailed in a number of physics, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry applications, such as NMR/NQR/EPR and microwave spectroscopy, Paul traps, Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC’s) and cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (cQED). Using a generic Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) architecture for a GaAs enhancement mode High-Electron Mobility FET device, our design has especially been devised for scientific applications where ultra-low-noise amplification systems are sought to amplify and detect weak RF signals under various conditions and environments, including cryogenic temperatures, with the least possible noise susceptibility. The amplifier offers a 16 dB gain and a 0.8 dB noise figure at 2.5 GHz, while operating at room temperature, which can improve significantly at low temperatures. Both dc and RF outputs are provided by the amplifier to integrate it in a closed-loop or continuous-wave spectroscopy system or connect it to a variety of instruments, a factor which is lacking in commercial LNA devices. Following the amplification stage, the RF signal detection is carried out with the help of a post-amplifier and detection system based upon a set of Zero-Bias Schottky Barrier Diodes (ZBD’s) and a high-precision ultra-low noise jFET operational amplifier. The scheme offers unique benefits of sensitive detection and very-low noise amplification for measuring extremely weak on-resonance signals with substantial low- noise response and excellent stability while eliminating complicated and expensive heterodyne schemes. The LNA stage is fully capable to be a part of low-temperature experiments while being operated in cryogenic conditions down to about 500 mK.展开更多

Fourier spectrum and time-frequency spectrum are commonly used tools for perceiving harmonic information, but they are often ineffective in perceiving weak harmonic signals because they are based on energy or amplitude analysis. Based on the theory of Normal time-frequency transform (NTFT) and complex correlation coefficient, a new type of spectrum, the Harmonicity Spectrum (HS), is developed to perceive harmonic information in time series. HS is based on the degree of signal harmony rather than energy or amplitude analysis, and can therefore perceive very weak harmonic information in signals sensitively. Simulation examples show that HS can detect harmonic information that cannot be detected by Fourier spectrum or time-frequency spectrum. Acoustic data analysis shows that HS has better resolution than traditional LOFAR spectrum.展开更多

Using Monte Carlo simulation, we have determined the response of a gamma spectrometer to individual and grouped hot particles randomly distributed in a soil matrix of 1-L and 0.6-L sample containers. By exploring the fact that the peak-to-total ratio of efficiencies in gamma spectrometry is an empirical parameter, we derived and verified a power-law relationship between the peak efficiency and peak-to-total ratio. This enabled creation of a novel calibration model which was demonstrated to reduce the bias range and bias standard deviation, caused by measuring hot particles, by several times, as compared with the homogeneous calibration. The new model is independent of the number, location, and distribution of hot particles in the samples. In this work, we demonstrated successful performance of the model for a single-peak <sup>137</sup>Cs radionuclide. An extension to multi-peak radionuclide was also derived.

文摘To address the problem that it is difficult to detect an intermediate frequency(IF)signal at the receiving end of a communication system under extremely low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)conditions,we propose a stochastic resonance(SR)-enhanced sine-signal detection method based on the sign function.By analyzing the SR mechanism of the sine signal and combining it with the characteristics of a dual-sequence frequency-hopping(DSFH)receiver,a periodic stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation(FPE)with a time parameter is obtained.The extreme point of the sine signal is selected as the decision time,and the force law of the electromagnetic particles is analyzed.A receiving structure based on the sign function is proposed to maximize the output difference of the system,and the value condition of the sign function is determined.In order to further improve the detection performance,in combination with the central-limit theorem,the sampling points are averaged N times,and the signal-detection problem is transformed into a hypothesis-testing problem under a Gaussian distribution.The theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results confirm that when N is 100 and the SNR is greater than 20 dB,the bit-error ratio(BER)is less than 1.5×10^(-2) under conditions in which the signal conforms to the optimal SR parameters.
文摘The design and development of a cryogenic Ultra-Low-Noise Signal Amplification (ULNA) and detection system for spectroscopy of ultra-cold systems are reported here for the operation in the 0.5 - 4 GHz spectrum of frequencies (the “L” and “S” microwave bands). The design is suitable for weak RF signal detection and spectroscopy from ultra-cold systems confined in cryogenic RF cavities, as entailed in a number of physics, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry applications, such as NMR/NQR/EPR and microwave spectroscopy, Paul traps, Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC’s) and cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (cQED). Using a generic Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) architecture for a GaAs enhancement mode High-Electron Mobility FET device, our design has especially been devised for scientific applications where ultra-low-noise amplification systems are sought to amplify and detect weak RF signals under various conditions and environments, including cryogenic temperatures, with the least possible noise susceptibility. The amplifier offers a 16 dB gain and a 0.8 dB noise figure at 2.5 GHz, while operating at room temperature, which can improve significantly at low temperatures. Both dc and RF outputs are provided by the amplifier to integrate it in a closed-loop or continuous-wave spectroscopy system or connect it to a variety of instruments, a factor which is lacking in commercial LNA devices. Following the amplification stage, the RF signal detection is carried out with the help of a post-amplifier and detection system based upon a set of Zero-Bias Schottky Barrier Diodes (ZBD’s) and a high-precision ultra-low noise jFET operational amplifier. The scheme offers unique benefits of sensitive detection and very-low noise amplification for measuring extremely weak on-resonance signals with substantial low- noise response and excellent stability while eliminating complicated and expensive heterodyne schemes. The LNA stage is fully capable to be a part of low-temperature experiments while being operated in cryogenic conditions down to about 500 mK.
文摘Perceiving harmonic information (especially weak harmonic information) in time series has important scientific and engineering significance. Fourier spectrum and time-frequency spectrum are commonly used tools for perceiving harmonic information, but they are often ineffective in perceiving weak harmonic signals because they are based on energy or amplitude analysis. Based on the theory of Normal time-frequency transform (NTFT) and complex correlation coefficient, a new type of spectrum, the Harmonicity Spectrum (HS), is developed to perceive harmonic information in time series. HS is based on the degree of signal harmony rather than energy or amplitude analysis, and can therefore perceive very weak harmonic information in signals sensitively. Simulation examples show that HS can detect harmonic information that cannot be detected by Fourier spectrum or time-frequency spectrum. Acoustic data analysis shows that HS has better resolution than traditional LOFAR spectrum.

文摘The 5th generation mobile communications aims at connecting everything and future Internet of Things(IoT)will get everything smartly connected.To realize it,there exist many challenges.One key challenge is the battery problem for small devices,such as sensors or tags.Batteryless backscatter,also referred to as or battery-free backscatter,is a new potential technology to address this problem.One early and typical type of batteryless backscatter is ambient backscatter.Generally,batteryless backscatter utilizes environmental wireless signals to enable battery-free devices to communicate with each other.These devices first harvest energy from ambient wireless signals and then backscatter these signals so as to transmit their own information.This paper reviews the current studies about batteryless backscatter,including various backscatter schemes and theoretical works,and then introduces open problems for future research.

文摘Based on adiabatic approximation theory,in this paper we study the asymmetric stochastic resonance system with time-delayed feedback driven by non-Gaussian colored noise.The analytical expressions of the mean first-passage time(MFPT)and output signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)are derived by using a path integral approach,unified colored-noise approximation(UCNA),and small delay approximation.The effects of time-delayed feedback and non-Gaussian colored noise on the output SNR are analyzed.Moreover,three types of asymmetric potential function characteristics are thoroughly discussed.And they are well-depth asymmetry(DASR),well-width asymmetry(WASR),and synchronous action of welldepth and well-width asymmetry(DWASR),respectively.The conclusion of this paper is that the time-delayed feedback can suppress SR,however,the non-Gaussian noise deviation parameter has the opposite effect.Moreover,the correlation time plays a significant role in improving SNR,and the SNR of asymmetric stochastic resonance is higher than that of symmetric stochastic resonance.Our experiments demonstrate that the appropriate parameters can make the asymmetric stochastic resonance perform better to detect weak signals than the symmetric stochastic resonance,in which no matter whether these signals have low frequency or high frequency,accompanied by strong or weak noise.
