Unfortunately, in the practical world, there are always problems in multi-path time delay estimation (MTDE). The cross-correlation fails to deal with the MTDE case. In this paper, a novel technique for MTDE is proposed. The new method is based on the slice selection on the third order cross-moment (TOCM). It is well known that TOCM carries more information and is insensitive to additive Gaussian noise than does the second order statistics (SOS). This property leads to a robust and unique solution of MTDE by using our TOCM based approach.","PeriodicalId":159807,"journal":{"name":"6th International Conference on Signal Processing, 2002.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128062304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some theoretic analysis and simulation results are included to demonstrate the validity of the method. The results show that remarkable SNR improvement and tolerable signal distortion are obtained and, compared with two other dimension time-frequency filtering algorithms, the method is easy in computation and simple in implementation.","PeriodicalId":159807,"journal":{"name":"6th International Conference on Signal Processing, 2002.","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130842751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique is based on the idea that the harmonic distortion is not fully canceled around 10 kHz because of the mismatch of phase and amplitude, even though previous simple preprocessing is activated. A digital filter is designed to compensate for this phase and amplitude mismatch. This linearization technique is verified by an experiment with an airborne parametric array for which the carrier frequency was 40 kHz. The results show that the second harmonic is reduced 11 dB and total harmonic distortion (THD) is improved 20% around 10 kHz compared to previous preprocessing. The proposed modified preprocessing is effective and good results render this technique suitable for the reproduction of high quality audible sound with high directivity.","PeriodicalId":159807,"journal":{"name":"6th International Conference on Signal Processing, 2002.","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122477844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However performance requirements as well as cost, power-consumption and real-time constraints may be satisfied by adequately tuning hardware and software. This article describes a configurable real-time micro network kernel 'C/spl mu/NEK' that combines tightly a super-small real-time micro kernel with a modular embedded Internet standard communication protocol such as TCP/IP stack and PPP.
