The distinctive property of UFIR algorithms is that noise statistics are completely ignored. Instead, an optimal window size is required for optimal performance. Under real-world operating conditions with uncertainties, non-Gaussian noise, and unknown noise statistics, the UFIR estimator generally demonstrates better robustness than the Kalman filter, even with suboptimal window size.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132078151","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}

This often leads to the signal exceeding the input limit of the equipment resulting in clipping. Communications devices typically rely on codecs such as GSM 06.10 to compress voice signals into lower bitrates. Although detecting clipping in a hard-clipped speech signal is straightforward due to the characteristic flattening of the peaks of the waveform, this is not the case for speech that has subsequently passed through a codec. We describe a novel clipping detection algorithm based on amplitude histogram analysis and least squares residuals which can estimate the clipped samples and the original signal level in speech even after the clipped speech has been perceptually coded.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116772421","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}

Cognitive radio (CR) systems on the other hand enable smart use of wireless resources leading to significant performance and reliability improvement. Accordingly, adopting the LTE specifications in CR it is a reasonable choice to optimized the spectrum utilisation in wireless communications. In this paper, we investigate some issues in the real-time implementation of a TDD (time division duplex) LTE-based spatial interweave (IW) CR. Indeed, the IW-CR requires the channel state information (CSI) to opportunistically exploit spatial holes for cognitive transmissions. Preliminary works have illustrated the possibility to acquire the CSI through the calibration of the channel reciprocity inherent in TDD systems. However, they consider constant radio frequency (RF) filters, which leads to perturbations in the IW-CR. Hence, we propose a new tracking method to tackle the variation in the RF. The whole system is implemented and evaluated on an experimental platform, where the simulation results reveal performance enhancement using this new approach.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115630432","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}

Secondly, the size of the median filter is computed considering the noise mask within a given neighborhood and taking into account the corresponding InSAR coherence values. This scheme is tested on simulated noisy interferograms as well as on a given pairs of single look complex (SLC) data from Envisat satellite.

These samples lend themselves to missing entries in the instantaneous auto-correlation function (IAF) which, in turn, induce artifacts in the time-frequency distribution and ambiguity function. The artifacts are additive noise-like and, as such, can be mitigated by using proper time-frequency kernels. We show that the sparse signal reconstruction methods applied to the time-lag domain improve the TFR over the direct application of Fourier transform to the IAF. Additionally, the paper demonstrates that the use of signal-adaptive kernels provides superior performance compared to data-independent kernels when missing data are present.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125553321","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}

These fringes encode the shape and 3-D location information of the objects.

Rather than performing object detection and identification in this reconstructed volume, we consider direct recognition of diffraction-patterns in in-line holograms and show that it leads to superior performance. The huge variability of diffraction patterns with object shape and 3-D location makes diffraction-pattern matching computationally expensive. We suggest the use of a dimensionality reduction technique to circumvent this limitation and show good detection and recognition performance both on simulated and experimental holograms.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114499050","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}

The proposed method can be used to synthesize arbitrary shaped beampattern, including multibeam forming and radiation suppression within several angular regions. Since the iterative shrinkage method converges much faster compared with other considered methods, null positions can be changed adaptively according to real-time scenarios. In order to balance the trade-off between sidelobe level and null depth, the beampattern synthesis error is reweighted by an emphasis vector. A continuation strategy is also utilised to accelerate convergence rate of the proposed algorithm and the number of selected antennas is controllable by tuning the trade-off parameter value either forward or backward during iteration progress. Numerical results assess efficiency and practicality of the proposed approach for designing non-uniformly spaced arrays adaptively of up to a few hundred antennas.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129653592","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}
