Although there have been many works that analyse the interference of windowed OFDM, this study remains open in the context of power line communications (PLCs) taking into account the physical-layer (PHY) specifications of the standards. This paper focuses on obtaining a closed-form expression of the input-output relationship in windowed OFDM power line communication (PLC) systems under the condition of insufficient cyclic prefix, while incorporating various blocks deployed in the PHY under IEEE 1901 standards. The derived analysis is important for quantifying the undesired signal component in each subcarrier at a specific time, which renders the detection of the corresponding symbol more difficult. Moreover, a novel procedure is proposed that allows the use of a smaller number of redundant samples to avoid interference. This novel procedure, performed in the receiver after the windowing stage, replaces the overlap-and-add operations with multiplications, offering the advantage of requiring fewer samples from the time-domain received signal to recover each transmitted data symbol. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of interference-free transmission on channels with a larger number of samples, thereby yielding better results across various PLC scenarios.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"5 ","pages":"1052-1060"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10572224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These attacks are notoriously easy to generate digitally when the attacker can directly manipulate the input to a model, but are much more difficult to implement in the real world. In this paper we present a universal, time invariant attack for general time series data such that the attack has a frequency spectrum primarily composed of the frequencies present in the original data. The universality of the attack makes it fast and easy to implement as no computation is required to add it to an input, while time invariance is useful for real world deployment. Additionally, the frequency constraint ensures the attack can withstand filtering defenses. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the attack on two different classification tasks through both digital and real world experiments, and show that the attack is robust against common transform-and-compare defense pipelines.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"5 ","pages":"858-866"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10557789","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141725683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The considered receiving equipment is composed of two sub-arrays of sensors with orthogonal polarizations. By suitably modeling the received signal via a sparse representation (accounting for the multiple snapshots and the polarimetric array manifold structure), two iterative algorithms, namely Polarimetric Sparse Learning via Iterative Minimization (POL-SLIM) and Polarimetric Sparse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation (POL-SPICE), are devised to accomplish the estimation task. The proposed algorithms provide accurate DOA estimates while enjoying nice (rigorously proven) convergence properties.

RIRs are used in a wide range of applications, e.g., virtual reality. In such an application, the availability of closely spaced RIRs and the capability to achieve low latency are imperative to provide an immersive experience. However, representing a complete acoustic environment using a fine grid of RIRs is prohibitive from a storage point of view and without exploiting spatial proximity, acoustic rendering becomes computationally expensive. We therefore propose two methods for the joint compression of multiple RIRs, based on the generalized low-rank approximation of matrices (GLRAM), for the purpose of efficiently storing RIRs and allowing for low-latency convolution. We show how one of the components of the GLRAM decomposition is virtually invariant to the change of position of the source throughout the room and how this can be exploited in the modeling and convolution. In simulations we show how this offers high compression, with less quality degradation than comparable benchmark methods.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"5 ","pages":"850-857"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10549780","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141543936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In data centric approaches, such as deep learning, the distribution of the dataset used for training can impose a bias on the networks' outcome. For example, in natural images most patches are smooth, and high-content patches are much rarer. This can lead to a bias in the performance of demosaicing algorithms. Most deep learning approaches address this challenge by utilizing specific losses or designing special network architectures. We propose a novel approach \u0000<bold>SDAT</b>\u0000, Sub-Dataset Alternation Training, that tackles the problem from a training protocol perspective. SDAT is comprised of two essential phases. In the initial phase, we employ a method to create sub-datasets from the entire dataset, each inducing a distinct bias. The subsequent phase involves an alternating training process, which uses the derived sub-datasets in addition to training also on the entire dataset. SDAT can be applied regardless of the chosen architecture as demonstrated by various experiments we conducted for the demosaicing task. The experiments are performed across a range of architecture sizes and types, namely CNNs and transformers. We show improved performance in all cases.

In this work, we build on recent advances in image processing and harness the power of denoisers as priors for images. To estimate an image, we propose utilizing denoisers as projections and using them within two computational frameworks that we propose: projected expectation-maximization and projected method of moments.

Traditionally, such test receivers were developed using a superheterodyne architecture. Recently, time-domain electromagnetic emission measurement systems have been built employing direct sampling instruments, mainly oscilloscopes, and relying on specific signal processing to emulate the performance of compliant instruments. In these cases, the short-time Fourier transform is used for spectral estimation, but the corresponding electromagnetic compatibility standards lack details for its correct use with respect to parameters such as windowing function, overlapping factor, and frequency interpolation. Moreover, it is unclear which combination of spectral estimation parameters is best fit for this purpose. Obtaining reliable, consistent and low uncertainty spectral estimates of electromagnetic emissions measured in time-domain needs appropriate configuration and tuning of the signal processing algorithms. This paper investigates the error in the calculated spectrum for various reference signals: multitone, chirp pulses and rectangular pulses. The analysis is carried out for each CISPR band from A to D, that is, between 9 kHz and 1 GHz.
