To reduce the effect of impulsive noise, whether this situation is stationary or not, the proposed adaptive robustified approach extends the concept of approximate maximum likelihood robust estimation, the so-called M robust estimation, to the estimation of both filter parameters and noise variance simultaneously. The application of variable forgetting factor, calculated adaptively with respect to the robustified prediction error criterion, provides the estimation of time-varying filter parameters under a stochastic environment with possible impulsive noise. The feasibility of the proposed approach is analysed in a system identification scenario using finite impulse response (FIR) filter applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":49203,"journal":{"name":"Eurasip Journal on Advances in Signal Processing","volume":"2016 ","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1186/s13634-016-0341-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34369529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear frequency modulated/binary phase shift keying (LFM/BPSK) hybrid modulated signal is a novel kind of low probability interception signal with wide bandwidth. The NYFR is an effective architecture to intercept the LFM/BPSK signal and the LFM/BPSK signal intercepted by the NYFR will add the local oscillator modulation. A parameter estimation algorithm for the NYFR output signal is proposed. According to the NYFR prior information, the chirp singular value ratio spectrum is proposed to estimate the chirp rate. Then, based on the output self-characteristic, matching component function is designed to estimate Nyquist zone (NZ) index. Finally, matching code and subspace method are employed to estimate the phase change points and code length. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed algorithm has a better performance. It also has no need to construct a multi-channel structure, which means the computational complexity for the NZ index estimation is small. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.</p>","PeriodicalId":49203,"journal":{"name":"Eurasip Journal on Advances in Signal Processing","volume":"2016 ","pages":"90"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1186/s13634-016-0387-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34720437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel index of the underlying signal quality of respiratory signals is presented and then used to modify the noise covariance matrix of the KF which discounts the effect of noisy data. The signal quality index, together with the KF innovation sequence, is also used to weight multiple independent estimates of the respiratory rate from independent KFs. The approach is evaluated on both a realistic artificial ECG model (with real additive noise), and on real data taken from 30 subjects with overnight polysomnograms, containing ECG, respiration and peripheral tonometry waveforms from which respiration rates were estimated. Results indicate that our automated voting system can out-perform any individual respiration rate estimation technique at all levels of noise and respiration rates exhibited in our data. We also demonstrate that even the addition of a noisier extra signal leads to an improved estimate using our framework. Moreover, our simulations demonstrate that different ECG respiration extraction techniques have different error profiles with respect to the respiration rate, and therefore a respiration rate-related modification of any fusion algorithm may be appropriate.</p>","PeriodicalId":49203,"journal":{"name":"Eurasip Journal on Advances in Signal Processing","volume":"2010 ","pages":"926305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1155/2010/926305","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9869529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
