It is often necessary to predict this value several time frames in advance to compensate the delay in the feedback channel. In this paper, the fading predictor based on higher-order Finite-state Markov model is examined. In the proposed method, the impact of channel gain discretization and model's order on prediction accuracy for medium and fast Rayleigh fading channel is discussed.","PeriodicalId":197079,"journal":{"name":"2020 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129033184","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 usefulness of these proposed devices is illustrated on the example of AGC (Automatic Gain Control) of RC oscillators. The parameters of the corresponding memristive systems required for a smooth startup and low harmonic distortion of the oscillation signal are formulated. It is shown that this concept includes some hitherto employed methods of gain control as special cases, and that its key added value consists in the possibility of nanoscale implementation.","PeriodicalId":197079,"journal":{"name":"2020 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614895","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, these methods do not solve the problem of masking the target. The parametric model was designed to generate the dominant Doppler frequency shifts of wind turbine blades. The non-linear regression model was used for the initial prediction of the dominant Doppler frequency shifts.

The proposed antenna system has omnidirectional characteristics in the horizontal plane. This is necessary to achieve an even signal coverage around the railway warning device. In the vertical plane, the antenna array has a beamwidth of 20 degrees, which allows an increase of system gain. Finally, several samples of the designed antenna subsystems were produced and their parameters were verified by measurements.","PeriodicalId":197079,"journal":{"name":"2020 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128729346","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}

Two embedding approaches are compared. The first approach is based on a position matrix, which is generated for each image using the Optimized Model of Pulse Coupled Neural Network (OM-PCNN). The second, so called reference approach, is based on generating the random positions for embedding. The subject of research was to observe the increase in entropy of stego images compared to cover images for both embedding approaches. From the point of view of image steganography, a case with zero change in entropy is considered an ideal result. Experiments have shown that the embedding by OM-PCNN position matrix causes smaller increase in entropy compared to the random embedding. Therefore, the OM-PCNN approach is prerequisite for the lower detectability of the message embedding.","PeriodicalId":197079,"journal":{"name":"2020 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"50 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130989383","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}

Analyzed in the paper are the mean and variance of the output signal for background radiation and for the reception of optical pulses. These parameters determine the requirements for averaging and pulse-compression techniques in case of full waveform digitization, which may find applications in range finding.","PeriodicalId":197079,"journal":{"name":"2020 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121810282","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}
