This paper discusses a pilot section of a freshman course entitled Engineering Projects that is designed to introduce new students to engineering through a design-oriented course in which students \"learn by doing\". This course is part of the curriculum being developed for the Integrated Teaching Laboratory (ITL) that is being built at the University of Colorado to provide interdisciplinary design and development experiences for engineering students beginning at the freshman level.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115473652","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, the kernel function used by the network is non-Euclidean, which can cause performance losses for high-dimensional input data. The authors investigate methods for realising more isotropic kernel basis functions by use of special data encoding techniques.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126576566","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}

Further, the additive noise is non-white with unknown covariance matrix whereas the beamforming algorithms assume that the noise is white. This situation leads to further deterioration in the performance of the beamformers. Whereas the former problem has been addressed by many authors, the latter has received very little attention. In the paper, a high-resolution beamforming algorithm is presented which is applicable when the interferences are fully/highly correlated with the desired signal and when the noise is spatially correlated with unknown covariance matrix. This algorithm makes use of an invariance property satisfied by persymmetric matrices to cancel out the noise covariance matrix while forming a difference matrix. The columns of this difference matrix are used to form the optimum weight vector. Two types of beamformers are considered. They are a) optimum interference notch beamformer and b) optimal combiner. Simulation results are also presented to support the theory.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129586227","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}

In such systems, the analysis/synthesis system and the subband quantizers are designed jointly to provide the minimum distortion in the reconstructed signal. In the paper, a new approach to this problem is introduced. Using the time-domain formulation of Nayebi et al. [1992], the present authors derive a formula for the mean square error (MSE) of the output signal. The resulting formulation provides a general framework for the optimum filter bank design problem and includes previous reported formulations. This approach can be used to design the optimal filter bank and quantizers for a given wide sense stationary signal.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125456291","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}

Ease of software development was also a consideration.

The number of poles and zeros can be chosen arbitrarily and the zeros do not have to lie on the unit circle. The algorithm allows us to design filters with non-conventional frequency responses with arbitrary weighting functions. It also gives optimal minimum phase FIR filters and elliptic recursive filters as special cases. We discuss three main difficulties in the use of the Remez algorithm for recursive filter design and give ways to overcome them.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"142 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129314525","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}

One of the main advantages of this algorithm is the totally scalar realisation, without any matrix or vector operation The applied time-division-multiplex (TDM) principle and a square root normalisation leads to a highly symmetric lattice filter with guaranteed stability. From the pure order recursive construction of the algorithm follows the completely independence between the coefficient calculation and the covariance estimation. That means, there is no round off error propagation in time and higher order recursive windows are possible. The algorithm can be seen as a extension of the generalized LeRoux-Gueguen algorithm.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"33 13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127615226","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, modern publication involves not only prose, but also tables, graphics, plots, and many kinds of data displays-images, which makes the representation problem more severe. Policy oriented issues such as peer review and copyright have also emerged to complicate the desire to publish information quickly and widely. As the SPIB evolves, in concert with similar projects in a wide variety of disciplines, into a seamless, cross-linked, indexed, computer network that makes information available rapidly, these difficulties will intensify unless software environments are created that can support high-speed networks and platforms, and publication policies change to facilitate rapid dissemination.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":189083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 6th Digital Signal Processing Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122192608","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}
