This can be effectively achieved in two steps by using a multi-sensor array at the transmitter and the receiver. First, the array at the transmitter is used to form a main beam along the desired receiver direction under the constraint that the total transmitted power along the undesired receiver directions is minimized. Because of the large number of receivers present in the scene, exact null placement will not be possible. However, each receiver also forms a beam under similar constraints, and the combined effect of these beams are shown to result in adequate interference suppression. The desired weight vectors in each case depend on a set of intermediate parameters that can be determined as the least square solution of an over determined system of equations.","PeriodicalId":171264,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of The Twenty-Ninth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125982299","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}

The fixed-point optimization utility that automatically generates the fixed-point simulation model of a floating-point C program has been used.

The 3D filter has a time-varying 3D frequency-planar passband that is adapted in a feedback system to automatically track a moving object on the basis of its smoothly changing trajectory, thereby rejecting noise and stopband objects that are not of interest. The adaptive spacetime velocity vector of the passband object is available within this feedback system and is used as the input to a multi-layer perceptron neural network which classifies the motion of the passband object according to a number of motion characteristics, such as its direction of travel, velocity, acceleration as a function of time and position and its stopping time. It is shown that such a system may be used to classify the motion of vehicles at an intersection of roads.","PeriodicalId":171264,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of The Twenty-Ninth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"145 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133586530","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}

The testability of a design is enhanced at the register-transfer level (RTL), prior to synthesis. Using scaling as a redundancy elimination technique, it is possible to reduce the area required by a design, as well as identify further redundancies that can be eliminated through the automatic selection of optimized RTL structures drawn from a parameterized VHDL library.","PeriodicalId":171264,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of The Twenty-Ninth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134016247","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}
