The spatial response of the antenna array is known imprecisely or unknown.

Uniqueness of the estimates is established for signals with BPSK modulation format. This new approach as applicable to an unknown array geometry and propagation environment, which is particularly useful in digital mobile communications.

In fractal theory the transmission of the codebook is somewhat concealed. In our simple model the codebook is explicitly transmitted although with a double role. The main difference between MGSVQ and the fractal coder is that the codebook in MSGV is as statistically optimized from a set of training data whereas it is derived directly from the image to be coded for the fractal coder, and therefore can be viewed as adaptive.

Such low bit rate coders are targeted to small size images, say 176/spl times/144, or below and are limited to head and shoulders scenes. The authors compare and rate the performance of several still image encoding methods such as DCT, subband and wavelets, using a new quality scale based on properties of human vision. These still image coders are embedded into video coders such as the H261 coder. The relative importance of intraframe and interframe quality and contributions to the total bit rate provide an overall design framework for these low bit rate video coders. The authors discuss and illustrate, for the encoding of low bit rate video, the still image and motion impairments that are perceptually most important.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":266447,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 27th Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126206417","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}

With the design of linear recording densities greater than two channel bits per half amplitude pulsewidth (PW50), concerns over nonlinear distortions, such as partial erasure, require channel simulation with techniques other than the linear Lorentzian model. The paper describes the considerations a disk drive designer faces when optimizing the performance of digital read channels with a channel simulator that uses actual data obtained from a disk file environment. This real data channel simulator accomplishes equalization and detection in software using sampled data from a spinstand allowing the flexibility of investigating the performance of different channel schemes without having to build expensive hardware. Sample offtrack data for selected channels at various user (information) densities are shown, along with ontrack Lorentzian simulation. Goodness numbers for each channel are presented which approximately minimize bit error rate (BER) in a quick way, providing algorithms for a disk drive to check channel quality during adaptive adjustments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":266447,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 27th Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128148953","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}
