The equiripple nature of the WLS design and its performance near the filter band edge have been reported to be better than that of the least squares (LS) design. It is known that these design techniques suffer from pass-band anomaly under different stop band frequencies. We have proposed an algorithm to eliminate pass-band anomaly of LS design. In this paper, we show that WLS can be modified in way similar to that proposed for the LS design. The characteristics of the resulting filters satisfy the stop band requirements and do not show anomaly in the pass band region.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"104 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":"132850813","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}

This technique is based on two steps: first, the 2-D impulse response matrix (Hankel matrix) is decomposed by the SVD (singular value decomposition) to k parallel branches, each branch is composed of two cascaded single-input single-output (SISO) 1-D FIR filters. Second, a truncated model reduction algorithm is applied to the 1-D filters to approximate the N/sub l/-dimensional FIR into n/sub l/-dimensional IIR filters, where. n/sub l/<N/sub l/, l=1,2. The transformation that converts the FIR to IIR filters is obtained by finding the eigenspace associated with the large eigenvalues of the cross-gramian matrix W/sub co/ using the ordered real Schur form decomposition.

First, soft estimates of the desired user transmitted symbols are obtained from each propagation path using a bank of appropriate linearly constrained maximum likelihood linear (LCMLL) receivers. Afterwards, these estimates are adequately combined to enhance the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR).","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"146 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":"114634494","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 the noisy case the method must be preceeded by an unsupervised clustering procedure. Contrary to HOS- or SOS-based methods our approach is finite and does not require neither spatial nor temporal diversity. On the negative side, the complexity is higher than exponential with respect to the channel length and so the method is more suitable for short channels.","PeriodicalId":236050,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (Cat.No.01EX467)","volume":"9 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":"132226942","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}

This approach seems for us natural since the ECG signals show a special structure in the time-frequency domain of which we take advantage in our proposed analysis. This time-frequency analysis can contributes in the decision making of medical diagnoses. We propose to separate a combination of mother ECG signals and weak fetus ECG signals.

Also with phase scrambling the distribution of the lowest temporal-spatial band is changed to Gaussian which results in a better SQ coding gain for this band. The output indices of SQ were sent using a folded binary code to improve noise robustness.
