The overhead associated with FFT size reduction and kernel generation are shown to be less than that of the short-time Fourier transform magnitude (STFTM), given an equivalent reduction in FFT size, and the conclusion of double throughput for the DWD over that of the STFTM is validated. An alternative discrete-cosine-transform-based DWD processor is proposed where factorization is performed directly on the cosine matrix and compared in terms of computational complexity to radix-two, radix-four, and radix-2/4 FFT-based DWD processors.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

The power losses in the conductors are conducted through the insulation to the surface and at the surface radiated to space. A steady-state analysis is made which considers the line to be continually exposed to the sun's rays. This results in a two dimensional analysis with nonlinear equations. Finite difference equations are used to approximate the equations in a computer program named THERM. The program considers the resistance of the conductor to be a function of the conductor temperature. The general equations used in the program are included.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

A model is developed in which the periodicity of the single-frame sampling function as well as the time to scan each picture element is taken into account. As a result, the power-spectral density of the sampled image consists of replications of the original image spectrum weighted by coefficients whose magnitude is governed by the jitter probability density function and the pattern used to obtain the image samples. This weighting can be utilized to reduce aliasing due to undersampled frequency components.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

It is shown that nonzero hourly insolation values for each day can be represented by the variance of the normal distribution curve and total daily insolation. It is shown that using the normal distribution curve for representing hourly insolation values does not cause a significant loss of information content. The mean of the normal distribution curve is taken at solar noon. The variance of the normal curve is then calculated from the recorded data by matching the recorded value and the value obtained from the normal distribution curve at solar noon. This approach provides a simple and easy method for estimating hourly radiation and eliminates the need for large digital computers. It is shown that 24 hourly insolation values can be represented by four variables, namely, total daily insolation, variance of the normal distribution curve, and the times of sunrise and sunset.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.
