The received signal is first analyzed by the STFT. The localized interferers in the time-frequency (t-f) domain are then removed by binary excisions. Finally, the synthesized signal is correlated with the PN sequence and passed to the detector. The selection of both the data window and the distribution of the binary excision values in the t-f domain are key to effective removal of the jammer with a minimum distortion of the DS/SS communication signal. Proper data windows localize the interference in as few t-f bins as possible, whereas good binary excision assigns zero values to only those t-f bins contaminated by the jammer t-f signature. The closed form expression of the receiver SNR is derived as a function of the binary excision values in the t-f domain. The specific cases of impulsive and sinusoidal jammers are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

The algorithm aims at finding some windows of which width is adapted to the rate of change in the spectrum. A similar approach was proposed by Adak (1995), who detected changes over time in the spectra of the process to select a data-dependent window size. The same principle is used in our algorithm, with a more robust estimation of the difference in spectra than Adak. After denoising of the periodogram with the help of the undecimated wavelet transform, we consider the \"symmetrical case\" in the best partition selection method. A post-treatment permits us to deal with the nonuniform partitions.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

Wavelet packet analysis with coefficient thresholding is the basis for the detection. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by analyzing experimental data on sediment electrochemical redox potential in a tidal microcosm. The significance of the technique is that it can extract periodic phenomena from experimental data corrupted by catastrophic and random events, provide a signature of the basic periodic component, and give an estimate of the degree of deviation from periodic behaviour. Consequently, it has potential applications in the analysis of quasi-periodic signals such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), where the determination of the extent of quasi-periodicity is of critical importance.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

We also show that fractional autocorrelation is related to a detection statistic previously proposed for detection of multicomponent linear FM signals. Since our fractional autocorrelation based detection algorithm does not require the calculation of either the AF or the Radon transform, we propose its use as a computationally fast alternative for detecting linear FM signals and estimating their chirp rates.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

In this technique, a succession of time-frequency distributions for each frame of data is calculated. From this distribution, the location and shape of the most energetic time-frequency tile is found along with its associated basis function. The projection of the signal onto this basis function is then subtracted from the original signal to form a residual. This process is repeated on the residual signal until the resulting time-frequency spectrum is flat. This scheme substantially reduces the interference power with minimum possible distortion of the desired spread spectrum signal. Our simulations demonstrate that the proposed adaptive time-frequency excision method dramatically outperforms the existing transform domain based excisers for narrowband and time-localized jamming signals.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.
