Weighted stationary phase of higher orders

The subject matter of this paper is an integral with exponential oscillation of phase f（x） weighted by g（x） on a finite interval [α, β]. When the phase f（x） has a single stationary point in （α,β）, an nth-order asymptotic expansion of this integral is proved for n ≥ 2. This asymptotic expansion sharpens the classical result for n = 1 by M. N. Huxley. A similar asymptotic expansion was proved by V. Blomer, R. Khan and M. Young under the assumptions that f（x） and g（x） are smooth and g（x） is compactly supported on R. In the present paper, however, these functions are only assumed to be continuously differentiable on [α,β] 2n ＋ 3 and 2n ＋ 1 times, respectively. Because there are no requirements on the vanishing of g（x） and its derivatives at the endpoints α and β, the present asymptotic expansion contains explicit boundary terms in the main and error terms. The asymptotic expansion in this paper is thus applicable to a wider class of problems in analysis, analytic number theory, and other fields.

Spatial diversity and combination technology using amplitude and phase weighting method for phase-coherent underwater acoustic communications

The UWA channel is characterized as a time-dispersive rapidly fading channel, which in addition exhibits Doppler instabilities and limited bandwidth. To eliminate inter- symbol interference caused by multipath propagation, spatial diversity equalization is the main technical means. The paper combines the passive phase conjugation and spatial processing to maximize the output array gain. It uses signal-to-noise-plus-interference to evaluate the quality of signals received at different channels. The amplitude of signal is weighted using Sigmoid function. Second order PLL can trace the phase variation caused by channel, so the signal can be accumulated in the same phase. The signals received at different channels need to be normal- ized. It adopts fractional-decision feedback diversity equalizer （FDFDE） and achieves diversity equalization by using different channel weighted coefficients. The simulation and lake trial data processing results show that, the optimized diversity receiving equalization algorithm can im- prove communication system＇s ability in tracking the change of underwater acoustic channel, offset the impact of multipath and noise and improve the performance of communication system. The performance of the communication receiving system is better than that of the equal gain combination. At the same time, the bit error rate （BER） reduces 1.8%.

Orbit determination using incremental phase and TDOA of X-ray pulsar

X-ray pulsars offer stable, periodic X-ray pulse sequences that can be used in spacecraft positioning systems. A method using X-ray pulsars to determine the initial orbit of a satellite is presented in this paper. This method suggests only one detector to be equipped on the satellite and assumes that the detector observes three pulsars in turn. To improve the performance, the use of incremental phase in one observation duration is proposed, and the incremental phase is combined with the time difference of arrival(TDOA). Then, a weighted least squares(WLS) algorithm is formulated to calculate the initial orbit. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the proposed orbit determination method.

Spectral square moments of a resonance sum for Maass forms

Let f be a Maass cusp form for Г0（N） with Fourier coefficients 1 k2. λf（n） and Laplace eigenvalue 1/4 ＋k2 For real α≠0 and β 〉 0, consider the sum Sx（f; α,β） = ∑n λf（n）e（αnβ）φ（n/X）, where φ is a smooth function of compact support. We prove bounds for the second spectral moment of Sx （f;α, β）, with the eigenvalue tending towards infinity. When the eigenvalue is sufficiently large, we obtain an average bound for this sum in terms of X. This implies that if f has its eigenvalue beyond X1/2＋ε, the standard resonance main term for Sx（f; ±2√q 1/2）, q ∈Z＋, cannot appear in general. The method is adopted from proofs of subconvexity bounds for Rankin-Selberg L-functions for GL（2） × GL（2）. It contains in particular a proof of an asymptotic expansion of a well-known oscillatory integral with an enlarged range of Kε≤ L≤ K1-ε. The same bounds can be proved in a similar way for holomorphie cusp forms.
