The EM algorithm is a general and popular numerical method for finding maximum likelihood estimates which usually has a simple implementation and stable convergence. However, the computational cost caused by the slow convergence of the EM algorithm is still immense for the direction finding problem. Motivated by componentwise convergence of the EM algorithm, we suggest the use of smaller search spaces after a few iterations. In this way, the overall computational cost can be reduced drastically. An adaptive procedure which determines the search spaces involved in the maximization (M) step is proposed. With numerical experiments we demonstrate the improvement of the computational efficiency by using the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"111 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":"126910742","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 analysis revealed an exponential characteristic in power spectral density (PSD) of the EEG, known to be peculiar to nonlinear phenomena. In addition, powers of such frequency components in EEG as alpha, beta, theta and delta were calculated quantitatively by integrating the PSD obtained from the segments of the EEG without any filtering procedures, and their temporal variations were investigated in detail. They were remarkably influenced by the stage of anesthesia. Further, the magnitude of the slope of exponentially decaying PSD increased as anesthesia became effective. The authors therefore proposed to take the magnitude as a new measure of estimating brain activities, and its usefulness was confirmed by the fact that the magnitudes for EEGs of children decrease as ages of subject increase.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"357 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":"115938620","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 parallel between Reed Solomon codes in the complex field and multicarrier transmission using OFDM is first presented. This shows that when the signal is sent over some channel composed of Gaussian plus impulse noise, the impulse noise can be removed by a procedure similar to channel decoding, using information carried by the \"syndrome\". These results are first derived in a simple situation (oversampled DMT, additive channel), which is merely of theoretical interest. In any case consecutive zeroes, in the output of the OFDM modulator, do not correspond to real subcarriers. However in many cases, pilot tones are emitted for synchronization or channel estimation purposes. These pilot tones are generally scattered among the information ones. Our approach is to use these pilot tones as \"syndromes\", in order to correct impulse noise. We show that the correction capacity is conditioned by the position of these pilot tones in the emitted sequence. Efficiency of this technique is corroborated with simulation in the practical context of the Hiperlan2.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"92 4 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":"131249649","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}
