The method was successfully applied to the identification of linear systems both stationary and nonstationary, being able to fine tune its parameters. The method starts by establishing a minimum set of models that are geometrically arranged in the space spanned by the unknown parameters, and adopts a strategy to adaptively update the constellation models in the parameter space in order to find the model resembling the system under identification. By downscaling the models parameters the constellation is shrunk, reducing the uncertainty of the parameters estimation. Simulations are presented to exhibit the application of the framework and the performance of the algorithm to the identification and parameters estimation of nonlinear systems.","PeriodicalId":198408,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115621391","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}

A new method of 3-stage DCT based multirate filterbank is proposed for the decomposition of EEG signals into brain rhythms: delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma rhythms. It is shown that theta, alpha, and gamma rhythms can be modeled as 1st order fractional Gaussian Noise (fGn), while the beta rhythms can be modeled as 2nd order fGn processes. These fGn processes are stationary random processes. Further, it is shown that the delta subband imbibes all the nonstationarity of EEG signals and can be modeled as a 1st order fractional Brownian motion (fBm) process. The modeling of subbands is characterized by Hurst exponent, estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method. The modeling approach has been tested on two public databases.","PeriodicalId":198408,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114444626","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}

A new, simple, accurate and general analytical closed-form upper bound for the average bit error ratio (ABER) performance of both systems is derived. The analytical bound is shown to be applicable to correlated and uncorrelated channels, as well as to small and large scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The results demonstrate that GSM is more suitable for large-scale MIMO systems than SM. The performance gain of GSM over SM is about 5 dB. The results also show that SM is very robust to CSEs. Specifically, the performance degradation of SM in the presence of CSEs are 0.7 dB and 0.3 dB for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels respectively. Lastly, the findings in this paper underpin the suitability of both GSM and SM for future large-scale MIMO systems.","PeriodicalId":198408,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122145160","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}

Particularly challenging problem in this context is spurious intermodulation (IM) components due to nonlinear power amplifier (PA), which may easily overlap the receiver band. With realistic duplex filters, the residual spurious IM at RX band can be several dBs stronger than the thermal noise floor, leading to own receiver desensitization. In this paper, we carry out detailed signal modeling of spurious emissions due to wideband PAs at the third-order IM band. Stemming from this modeling, and using the known transmit data, we present an efficient nonlinear digital identification and cancellation technique to suppress the unwanted IM components at RX band. The proposed technique is verified with computer simulations, showing excellent calibration properties, hence relaxing filtering and duplexing distance requirements in spectrally-agile CA transceivers.","PeriodicalId":198408,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126709476","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 source of this malfunction is geometrically investigated and a solution complying with the set-theoretic philosophy is proposed.

Objective evaluation results show that the parameters of both vocoders gradually degrade with increasing compression rates, but with a clear increase in degradation with bit-rates of 32 kbit/s or less. Experiments with HMM-based synthesis with the two vocoders show that the degradation in quality is already perceptible with bit-rates of 32 kbit/s and both vocoders show similar trend in degradation with respect to compression ratio. The most perceptible artefacts induced by the compression are spectral distortion and reduced bandwidth, while prosody is better preserved.","PeriodicalId":198408,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128198409","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}

We then fuse these features to form a single feature vector before making a decision on whether a capture attempt is a normal presentation or an artefact presentation using linear Support Vector Machine (SVM).
