This paper proposes two single-source DOA estimation methods for wideband linear frequency modulation signals: time-delay mixing multiple signal classification (TDM-MUSIC) and enhanced self-mixing MUSIC (ESM-MUSIC). TDM-MUSIC employs time-delay mixing of the received signal to construct an equivalent single-frequency signal model, thereby enhancing estimation accuracy while maintaining reasonable computational efficiency. ESM-MUSIC improves the conventional self-mixing model by adding frequency correction steps, resulting in excellent DOA estimation performance at the expense of computational complexity. Unlike conventional methods that rely on approximate models, our methods establish more accurate equivalent models. A key advantage of our methods is that they allow flexible adjustment of the optimal sensor inter-element spacing in arrays based on the equivalent signal model rather than the actual signal model, simplifying engineering fabrication and reducing mutual coupling between sensors. The paper establishes the Cramér–Rao bounds for both proposed methods and demonstrates their superiority over existing methods through comprehensive numerical simulations. Further, the experiment using a TI-AWR2243 multi-sensor array radar system confirms that our methods are feasible for practical engineering applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":10227,"journal":{"name":"Circuits, Systems and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses the task of estimating a communication channel affected by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and phase noise. Traditional estimation methods such as the least mean square (LMS) and mean square error (MSE) criteria are deemed inadequate due to the unique characteristics of phase noise. In this study, we propose a novel approach for PN channel estimation utilizing information-theoretic learning (ITL) principles, specifically focusing on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC). By employing MCC, our method enhances the robustness of the channel estimator in steady-state conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of parameter estimation. Additionally, to expedite the convergence rate of our algorithm, we introduce a novel mixed-LMS approach that amalgamates elements of both MSE and MCC. This hybrid technique leverages the strengths of each criterion, resulting in a more efficient and accurate estimation of the PN-affected channel.

This work has presented carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) based ternary shift register designs which are realized by employing single-edge triggered ternary D-flip-flop cells with reset input. The dependency of threshold voltage on carbon nanotube physical dimensions is used for the realization of multiple threshold voltages in ternary logic designs. The D-flip flop design with reset capability implementation is performed using multiplexer based positive and negative latches arranged in master–slave architecture. Further, the D-flip-flop cells with reset input are combined to construct Ternary logic serial input serial output (SISO), parallel input parallel output (PIPO) and parallel input serial output (PISO) registers. The latching of the input across the output happens only if the reset input is high otherwise no latching is performed. The PISO register is operating in two modes of loading and shifting realized using NAND logic. The proposed ternary shift register designs using CNTFETs are simulated using HSPICE considering the 32 nm Stanford CNTFET model. The results demonstrate that for 4-bit register design, power and PDP improvements of more than 70% are achieved for SISO designs and a maximum of 90% is attained for PIPO and PISO register designs as compared to recent counterparts.

Finding a comparable system of the same kind in a lower-order dimension that can maintain the core characteristics of the higher-order system (HOS) is essential. This article discusses a novel technique for HOS’s reduced order approximation and control design. The proposed method modifies the Schur method for balanced truncation. The method circumvents the requirement of balancing transformation and steady-state gain (SSG) deviation as required in the truncated model reduction algorithm. The offered technique eliminates the SSG deviation without altering the dynamical behavior compared to the HOS by appending a gain enhancement factor to the numerator polynomial of the reduced system transfer matrix. The offered technique ensures that the reduced system retains the HOS stability, passivity, SSG, and all critical characteristics. The recommended method’s findings are compared to the outcomes of recently published work’s lower-order models. Further, using the proposed method, the reduced model has been used to design a PID controller for the flexible-missile control model and an automatic voltage regulator system. The controller produced using the simplified model provides almost the exact time domain specifications (TDS) as the controller made using the HOS, and its design is also relatively more straightforward.
