However, information retrieval methods are important because acquisition speed, scanning mode, image quality, and radiation dose depend on them. Phase-stepping （PS） is a widely used method to retrieve information, while angular signal radiography （ASR） is a newly established method. In this manuscript, signal-to-noise ratios （SNRs） of ASR are compared with that of PS. Numerical experiments are performed to validate theoretical results. SNRs comparison shows that for refraction and scattering images ASR has higher SNR than PS method, while for absorption image both methods have same SNR. Therefore, our conclusions would have guideline in future preclinical and clinical applications.展开更多

Continuous coverage from close-in ＂pop-up＂ targets in clutter to long-range targets impacts selection of waveform parameters. The coherent processing interval （CPI） must be long enough to achieve a certain signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） that ensures the efficiency of detection. The condition of detection in the case of low SNR is analyzed, and three different cases that would occur during integration are discussed and a method to determine the CPI is presented. The simulation results show that targets detection with SNR as low as -26 dB in the experimental system can possibly determine the CPI.展开更多

The exact expressions of output signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of the system are derived. By means of numerical calculation, the results indicate that （i） at some fixed noise intensities, the output signal amplitude with inertial mass exhibits the structure of a single peak and single valley, or even two peaks if the dichotomous noise is asymmetric; （ii） in the case of asymmetric dichotomous noise, the inertial mass can cause non-monotonic behaviour of the output signal amplitude with respect to noise intensity; （iii） the curve of SNR versus inertial mass displays a maximum in the case of asymmetric dichotomous noise, i.e., a resonance-like phenomenon, while it decreases monotonically in the case of symmetric dichotomous noise; （iv） if the noise is symmetric, the inertial mass can induce stochastic resonance in the system.展开更多

A method is proposed in two stages： （1） to square the original discrete time series, which includes both signals and noises, and form a new time series. By this means, the multiplicative noise is converted to additive noise; and （2） to filter out the noise by using existing noise removal schemes. With a large amount of simulation, experimental results demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of this newly developed method in terms of Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） and other criteria. Prom the experiment, it is also found that： the two kinds of noises affect the SNR differently. In general, the SNR is not influenced by multiplicative Gaussian noise regardless of its variance. However, if both kinds of noise exist, the SNR decreases with the incensement of the Variance of Additive Noise to Multiplicative Noise Ratio （VAMNR）. This analysis is also supported by simulation work.展开更多

However ambient noise which is due to multiple sources (e.g. shipping, wind) and no one source dominates. Ambient noise masks the acoustic signal to a large extent. Hence today it has drawn the attention of the experts to reduce its effect on the received signal. This paper discusses ambient noise problem and devises a new wavelet thresholding method to reduce its effect. Afterwards a comparative study on statistical parameters is shown to prove the efficiency of the devised method.展开更多

Firstly,the Gabor transformation is used as TF transformation in the system and a sorting model is established under undetermined condition; then the SNR adaptive pivot threshold setting method is used to find the TF single source. The mixed matrix is estimated according to the TF matrix of single source. Lastly,signal sorting is realized through improved subspace projection combined with relative power deviation of source. Theoretical analysis and simulation results showthat this algorithm has good effectiveness and performance.展开更多
