As SNR increases, the expected value of the time-delay phase estimator approaches the true value of the phase and its variance substantially decreases and converges to the Cramer-Rao bound for all ranges of the effective parameters.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125967798","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 switching activity function of the new MAFs is represented as a four state FSM. During any given operation cycle, only one of the data path modules is active, during which occasion, the logic assertion status of the circuit nodes of the other modules are maintained at their previous states. Critical path delay and latency are reduced by incorporating speculative rounding and data path simplifications. The new MAFs offer worst case power reductions in excess of 15% with FPGA realization while the corresponding figure for 0.35 micron CMOS process is better than 26%.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128430971","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}

These include the processing of any mental attributes, the perceived environment and the actions to be performed. These increase the load of any processor running the simulation. If there are many such behavioral modules in an animation, the playback of the scene becomes non-interactive. A simple way to improve playback speed is to store the simulation data at suitable locations. Playback of the animation is then just a matter of reading the simulation data. The speedup is often visually noticeable, although it is at the cost of storage space.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127267445","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 source detection and localization, the presence of a common but unknown signal must be detected using data from several noisy channels. If one of the channel outputs has a sufficiently high SNR, then it could be pre-processed to improve detector performance. This work uses matching pursuit decomposition (MPD), and instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation to form an estimate of the highest SNR channel output. The signal estimate is then processed by a GC detector or a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector to detect the presence of the signal on the remaining, noisier channels. Detector performance is shown to be significantly improved via simulations.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130313661","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}

Central to this method is that the noise covariance vector, which determines the bias in the ordinary least-squares (LS) estimator, is estimated in the way of making use of delayed plant outputs rather than delayed plant inputs. This is very different from the other existing bias-eliminated least-squares (BELS) methods. While achieving estimation unbiasedness, the developed method has algorithmic advantages over the prefiltering based BELS method. Moreover, its performance is comparable to the other BELS methods. Numerical results well correspond to theoretical predictions.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134012353","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 present two approaches to jointly estimate these parameters based on a 2D ESPRIT-like algorithm Van der Veen et al., (1998) in wireless communications.

Thus, it would be of interest to vary the length of the segment to accommodate the changes in the speech characteristics. The developed segmentation algorithm is based on a time-varying autoregressive model and the segmentation rules are developed based on the instantaneous energy and frequency estimate.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132313822","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}
