In this condition all its digital signals are of 50% duty cycle so that the circuit characteristic does not have a dead zone. This feature allows a precise indication of the zero-phase condition, which is independent of the detector power supply and the offset of its ADC readout. Such a detector is used for a phase alignment of two reference clock signals with frequency about 11 kHz in front-ends processing signals from beam position monitors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The detector output voltage is digitized with a 24-bit ADC at the rate of the reference signals. The resulting samples are processed in the front-end FPGA and transmitted to the control system using an Ethernet data stream. After a detailed description of the differential phase detector its performance is demonstrated with laboratory measurements. The results show that this simple circuit allows a phase alignment resolution of the 11.2 kHz clock signals in the order of 0.0001° with a measurement bandwidth of 1 Hz.","PeriodicalId":232837,"journal":{"name":"2016 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121984185","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 simulator of received optical power may serve in Monte-Carlo simulations of complex communication protocols and their interference with short-time fades due to atmospheric turbulence. The simulator of random angle-of-arrival can be used, for example, to test the performance of tracking systems and simulate additional loss due to short-time increases of the detector coupling error.","PeriodicalId":232837,"journal":{"name":"2016 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"29 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124895139","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 discrete Fourier transform is calculated in points in z-plane that are equidistantly distributed on the unit circle, while the warped discrete Fourier transform is calculated in points that are unevenly distributed on the unit circle. The time-dependent warped discrete Fourier transform for the analysis of the simulated and measured radar signals from a walking human was applied in this research. The results of the time-frequency analysis of radar signals using this transformation are compared with the spectrogram. The results show that the application of the warped discrete Fourier transformation in the radar signal analysis provides a higher concentration of energy around the central Doppler frequency comparing to the spectrogram.","PeriodicalId":232837,"journal":{"name":"2016 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122668365","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 addition, the selected calibration method is position-independent and therefore no positioning devices are necessary. Given the dominant systematic errors of the selected HMC 5883L sensor an inverse model that takes into account the multiplicative, additive and orthogonality was elected. Calibration was performed initially in the laboratory without additional interference. Next, calibration took place in the environment with additional periodic harmonic disturbance and the results were compared.","PeriodicalId":232837,"journal":{"name":"2016 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126300069","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 performance of the ANN was validated by software implementation of ANN for given network configuration. The principles of artificial neural networks and the possibility of using artificial neural network for hashing are presented in the article. For analysis of ANN were created testing sets on the base of several examples of general texts in English and in Slovak language. In the paper were tested ANNs with one hidden layer.
