A new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference detection for signal waveform modulation multi-level discs

The sub-land/sub-pit affects the characteristic of the tracking error signal which is generated by the conventional differential phase detection （DPD） method in the signal waveform modulation multi-level （SWML） read-only disc. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference. Based on the diffraction theory, the amplitude difference is proportional to the tracking error and is feasible to be used for obtaining the off-track information. The experimental system of the amplitude difference detection method is developed. The experimental results show that the tracking error signal derived from the new method has better performance in uniformity and signal-to-noise ratio than that derived from the conventional DPD method in the SWML read-only disc.

Semi-blind Adaptive Beamforming for High-throughput Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Systems

A semi-blind adaptive beamforming scheme is proposed for wireless systems that employ high-throughput quadrature amplitude modulation signalling. A minimum number of training symbols, equal to the number of receiver antenna arrayts elements, are first utilised to provide a rough initial least squares estimate of the beamformer＇s weight vector. A concurrent constant modulus algorithm and soft decision-directed scheme is then applied to adapt the beamformer. This semi-blind adaptive beamforming scheme is capable of converging fast to the minimum mean-square-error beamforming solution, as demonstrated in our simulation study.

The problem of sending a single classical bit through a generalized amplitude damping channel is considered. When two transmissions through the channel arc available as a resource, we find that two entangled transmissions can enhance the capability of receiver＇s judging information correctly under certain conditions compared with two productstate transmissions. In addition, we find a special case in which the two entangled transmissions can always make a classical bit more effectively disable the noise influence.

Speech Enhancement Algorithm Based on MMSE Short Time Spectral Amplitude in Whispered Speech

An improved method based on minimum mean square error-short time spectral amplitude （MMSE-STSA） is proposed to cancel background noise in whispered speech. Using the acoustic character of whispered speech, the algorithm can track the change of non-stationary background noise effectively. Compared with original MMSE-STSA algorithm and method in selectable mode Vo-coder （SMV）, the improved algorithm can further suppress the residual noise for low signal-to-noise radio （SNR） and avoid the excessive suppression. Simulations show that under the non-stationary noisy environment, the proposed algorithm can not only get a better performance in enhancement, but also reduce the speech distortion.

Determination of Total Vector Error of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) Using the Phase Angle Error of a Constant Amplitude Voltage Signal

This paper investigates the effect of the Phase Angle Error of a Constant Amplitude Voltage signal in determining the Total Vector Error (TVE) of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using MATLAB/Simulink. The phase angle error is measured as a function of time in microseconds at four points on the IEEE 14-bus system. When the 1 pps Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to the PMU is lost, sampling of voltage signals on the power grid is done at different rates as it is a function of time. The relationship between the PMU measured signal phase angle and the sampling rate is established by injecting a constant amplitude signal at two different points on the grid. In the simulation, 64 cycles per second is used as the reference while 24 cycles per second is used to represent the fault condition. Results show that a change in the sampling rate from 64 bps to 24 bps in the PMUs resulted in phase angle error in the voltage signals measured by the PMU at four VI Measurement points. The phase angle error measurement that was determined as a time function was used to determine the TVE. Results show that (TVE) was more than 1% in all the cases.

Error Correction of Lightning Location Data

[ Objective] The study aimed to correct error of lightning location data with small amplitude. [ Method] Using the curve fitting toolbox of matlab mathematical software, the distribution of lightning location data in Chongqing during 1999 -2008 was fitted based on logarithmic normal distribution function, and the specific characters of lightning data with current amplitude from -10 to 10 kA were analyzed. [ Result] During 1999 - 2008, the frequency of lightning with current amplitude from -10 to 10 kA in Chongqing City accounted for 4.93% of total frequency, while the fre- quency of lightning with current amplitude from -5 to 5 kA accounted for only 1.27%, lower than 2%, according with the conventional deletion proportion in China. Lightning data with current amplitude from -5 to 5 kA caused a great disturbance to the fitting effect, so the fitting effect was the best after these lightning data was deleted. After the lightning location system of Chongqing City was upgraded in 2005, the frequency of lightning with current amplitude from -10 to 10 kA decreased, and there were obvious changes in the frequency of lightning with current amplitude from -10 to -5 kA and from 5 to 10 kA, while the frequency of lightning with current amplitude from -5 to 5 kA was small and stable, so these data could be deleted. [Conclusion] The research could provide theoretical references for error correction of lightning location data with small amplitude in Chongqing City.

Error vector magnitude (EVM) as a performance metric for M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats in optical coherent systems is presented. It is shown that the calibrated BER, which would otherwise be under-estimated without the correction factor, can reliably monitor the performance of optical coherent systems near the target BER of 10-3 for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16-QAM, and 64-QAM employing carrier phase recovery with differential decoding to compensate for laser phase noise. The impact on the number of symbols used to estimate the BER from EVM analysis is also presented and compared to the BER obtained by error counting.

空间外差遥感数据光谱-干涉图双向校正算法研究

空间外差光谱技术(SHS)作为新型高光谱分析技术,被广泛应用于大气检测、卫星遥感等领域,但由于空间外差光谱仪的制作不理想或工作环境的变化都会改变仪器参数而引入误差,使干涉图数据不准确,需要进行误差校正。在卫星平台下,由于与地面环境的巨大差异,导致地面测定的校正参数对空间外差干涉图数据不再适用,特别是调制项误差(相位误差和非均匀误差)的改变,极大影响了光谱的准确性。针对空间外差遥感数据的调制项误差,从光谱与干涉图两个方面入手,进行误差分离与原因分析,认为空间外差遥感数据误差主要来源于CCD尺寸伸缩导致的光谱频率变化和CCD响应改变导致的干涉图强度变化,提出了光谱-干涉图双向校正方法。校正测试数据选取高分五号搭载检测仪(GMI)实测的12条O 2吸收光谱。取其中一条作为标定光谱,以SCIATRAN仿真的无误差光谱为基准,与标定光谱进行对比,分析两者在光谱维的频率偏差,通过特征峰频率确定两者的频率变换关系。然后根据变换关系将仿真光谱进行频率拉伸,使拉伸后的仿真光谱与实测光谱谱峰重合,计算拉伸仿真光谱与实测光谱干涉图,将两者干涉图相比得到干涉图强度的变化关系。最后将干涉图强度变化关系用于其余11条光谱的校正,得到校正后光谱。为了衡量校正效果,以校正前后光谱的标准差、均方误差和信噪比作为评价指标。结果显示标准差、均方误差都明显降低,同时信噪比显著增大,且标准差基本都在0.07以下,信噪比基本能达到20以上。其中校正效果最好的实测光谱,标准差减少了0.3767,信噪比提高了25.1016,均方误差降低了0.1587,校正效果较差的实测光谱,标准差减少了0.2296,信噪比提高了9.6328,均方误差降低了0.1049。因此所提出的光谱-干涉图双向校正方法对空间外差遥感数据的误差校正起到较好的效果,且处理过程简单,为同类数据的处理提供了一种新思路。
