The procedure employs unwrapping the phase of the measured samples of the signal and computing a weight vector such that the estimator is an MVUE. It is shown that when the noise is white, the estimator achieves CRLB (Cramer-Rao Lower Bound) and its performance matches that of Kay's estimator. In cases where the colouring process is unknown, we propose simultaneous estimation of unknown frequency as well as the unknown autocorrelation matrix using a recursive least square update procedure.","PeriodicalId":338994,"journal":{"name":"1998 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (Cat.

It introduces a structure function for a current copier to estimate its SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). Different copiers have different structure functions. A current copier with a higher structure function value has the larger SNR. This paper also defines the figure-of-merit (FOM), a performance measure, for various current copiers in terms of SNR, power dissipation, settling time, and the storage capacitance. Several current copiers are compared with their FOMs. Based on the desired FOM, this synthesis process provides the designers with the optimum transistor size and storage capacitor for the selected current copier.","PeriodicalId":338994,"journal":{"name":"1998 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The purpose of the present paper is to focus attention on the set estimates in an effort to stimulate further research into their utility in applications. As an example, we suggest the use of set estimates in classification problems in which the classes can be represented by distinct linear-in-parameters models, or by related sets.","PeriodicalId":338994,"journal":{"name":"1998 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (Cat.
