Amin et. al. recently developed a time-frequency MUSIC algorithm with narrow band models for the estimation of direction of arrival (DOA) when the source signals are chirps. In this research, we consider wideband models. The joint time-frequency analysis is first used to estimate the chirp rates of the source signals and then the DOA is estimated by the MUSIC algorithm with an iterative approach.

We propose the "Multi-Split-Row" LDPC decoding method which allows further reductions in routing complexity, greater throughput, and smaller circuit area implementations compared to the previously proposed Split-Row decoding method. Multi-Split-Row is especially useful for regular high row weight LDPC codes. A 2048-bit full parallel decoder is implemented in a 0.18 mu m CMOS technology using standard MinSum, Split-Row-2 and Split-Row-4 methods. The Split-Row-4 decoder delivers 7.1 Gbps throughput with 15 decoding iterations, and has 3.2 times smaller circuit area and 5.2 times higher throughput than the standard MinSum decoder.

We present an algorithm-based fault tolerant scheme for QR decomposition, that extends the well-known Gentleman-Kung-McWhirter triangular systolic array architecture. Assuming that the array is subject to transient faults, widely separated in time and each affecting a single processor, we give an algorithm that corrects the full triangular array with computational overhead equivalent, on average, to the interpolation of a single extra vector into the data stream.

Originally coined by the sensory psychologist Roger Shepard in the 1960's, chroma transforms frequency into octave equivalence classes. By extending the concept of chroma to chroma strength and how it varies over time, we have demonstrated the utility of chroma in simplifying the processing and representation of signals dominated by harmonically-related narrowband components. These investigations have utilized an ad hoc procedure for calculating the chromagram from a given time-frequency distribution. The present paper is intended to put this ad hoc procedure on more sound mathematical ground.

Subband-domain algorithms provide an attractive technique for wideband radar array processing. The subband-domain approach decomposes a received wideband signal into a set of narrowband signals. While the number of processing threads in the system increases, the narrowband signals within each subband can be sampled at a correspondingly slower rate. Therefore, the data rate at the input is similar to that at the output of the subband processor. There are several advantages to the subbanding method. It can simplify typical radar algorithms such as adaptive beamforming and equalization by the virtue of reducing subband signal bandwidth, thereby potentially reducing the computational complexity over an equivalent tapped-delay line approach. It also allows for a greater parallelization of the processing task, hence enabling the use of slower and less power consuming hardware. In order to evaluate the validity of the subbanding approach, it is compared with conventional processing methods. This paper focuses on adaptive beamforming and pulse compression performance for a wideband radar system. The performance of an adaptive beamformer is given for a polyphase filter based subband approach and is measured against narrowband processing. SINR loss curves and beampatterns for a subband system are presented. Design criteria for subband polyphase filter processing that minimizes signal distortion are provided and the distortion is characterized. Finally subband-domain pulse compression is demonstrated and compared with the conventional approach.

In this paper, a highly scalable hardware accelerator design for digital signalprocessing is presented. The key features of this accelerator are minimum I/O operations, highly scalable massive parallelism, easy programming, and modularity and regularity. With a very large register file (> 1000) per processing element, the reuse factor per datum in this accelerator can be increased significantly (as compared to traditional DSP architectures). System performance is improved because the amount of data transfer between the on-chip cache and the off-chip cache/memory is reduced by the same factor. Since the basic building block of this accelerator is simply a VLSI chip with several processing elements, scalable massive parallelism can be achieved by connecting multiple chips together in a SIMD `vector- like' fashion. Finally, programming of this accelerometer is not difficult because it is operated under the SIMD `vector-like' mode. With the expected VLSI technology in the next few years, the throughput of one single accelerator chip can approach GFLOPs performance. Hence, the high computing power needed by digital signalprocessing applications can be provided by just connecting a small number of this chip together.

In this paper we consider the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of Gaussian signals in non- Gaussian noise of unknown spatial correlations. The proposed method involves two primary steps. Firstly, the third-order cumulant function of the random wavefield received by an array of sensors is estimated and then projected onto the correlation domain to exploit the correlations of noise across the sensors in an array. Secondly, the estimated noise correlation matrix is then utilized in a correlation-based eigenstructure method, such as MUSIC, for DOA estimation. As expected, the proposed method improves the performance of MUSIC which requires the knowledge of noise correlation. Numerical simulation results for both the MUSIC and proposed algorithms are presented and compared.

The ULV decomposition (ULVD) is an important member of a class of rank-revealing two-sided orthogonal decompositions used to approximate the singular value decomposition (SVD). The ULVD can be updated and downdated much faster than the SVD, hence its utility in the solution of recursive total least squares (TLS) problems. However, the robust implementation of ULVD after the addition and deletion of rows (called updating and downdating respectively) is not altogether straightforward. When updating or downdating the ULVD, the accurate computation of the subspaces necessary to solve the TLS problem is of great importance. In this paper, algorithms are given to compute simple parameters that can often show when good subspaces have been computed.
