However, in the presence of multipath the signals lose their orthogonality properly leading to increased cross correlation. In these cases channel estimation may be needed in order to improve the detection of the desired symbols. We propose and compare several algorithms for channel estimation of a synchronous CDMA point to multipoint link (downlink) which uses aperiodic spreading waveforms. We compare by simulation and analysis a subspace approach, a pilot-aided approach, and a decision feedback approach.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

The framework starts by constructing a factorizable halfband function in M-D and, subsequently, uses spectral factorization to obtain the subband filters. The number of zeros at the aliasing frequency can be obtained easily by using variable transformation from 1-D to M-D. The possible passband shape is discussed. A novel condition for 2-channel PR filter banks in M-D is presented by which the choices of possible passband shapes are significantly reduced. Finally, a frequency mapping between two possible passbands is proposed. A necessary and sufficient condition for the mapping to preserve the PR condition is presented.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Since the direct signal and the reflected signals form an interference pattern, the received signal is given by a sum of several scattered components. These are distinguished by their Doppler shifts at the mobile. The slowly varying parameters associated with these components are determined and tracked, and the composite fading signal is predicted. This approach will potentially result in the ability to anticipate and avoid \"deep fades\" which severely limit the performance of wireless communications systems and will aid in the development of low power mobile radio systems.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

As this representation is non-linear, it introduces color instability. Thus, to analyze natural color images, we use the Karhunen-Loeve space, which allows a large decorrelation of the color components, a high definition of colors and an increased compression ratio for very homogeneous images.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Results are presented for wideband rail SAR measurements of reflectors in foliage, demonstrating resolution improvement and clutter rejection. Also, results of processing data from an airborne millimeter-wave SAR demonstrate improved resolution and speckle reduction.

High dimensional trellis-coded modulation integrates a new block code with permuted state structure and a high dimensional signal constellation. It combines not only coding and modulation, but also PN spreading into one single process. The uniformity of the scheme enables us to choose an arbitrary reference during performance analysis which greatly simplifies the performance analysis. The paper proves that high dimensional trellis-coded modulation with a bi-orthogonal signal constellation is a uniform scheme. It further points out that the uniformity of the HDTCM scheme depends upon the uniformity of the signal constellation used.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.
