Today FPGAs are used in many digital signalprocessing applications. In order to design high-performance area efficient DSP pipelines various arithmetic functions and algorithms must be used. In this work, FPGA-based functional units for Cosine, Arctangent, and the Square Root functions are designed using bipartite tables and iterative algorithms. The bipartite tabular approach was four to 12 times faster than the iterative approach but requires 8-40 times more FPGA hardware resources to implement these functions. Next, these functions along with the FPGA hardware multipliers and a reciprocal bipartite table unit are used for hardware rectangular-to-polar and polar-to-rectangular conversion macro-functions. These macro-functions allow for a 7-10 times performance improvement for the high-performance pipelines or an area reduction of 9-17 times for the low cost implementations. In addition, software tool to design FPGA based DSP pipelines using the Cosine, Sine, Arctangent, Square Root, and Reciprocal units with the hardware multipliers is presented.

In this paper, we restore a one-dimensional signal that a priori is known to be a smooth function with a few jump discontinuities from a blurred, noisy specimen signal using a local regularization scheme derived in a Bayesian statistical inversion framework. The proposed method is computationally effective and reproduces well the jump discontinuities, thus is an alternative to using a total variation (TV) penalty as a regularizing functional. Our approach avoids the non-differentiability problems encountered in TV methods and is completely data driven in the sense that the parameter selection is done automatically and requires no user intervention. A computed example illustrating the performance of the method when applied to the solution of a deconvolution problem is also presented.

We look into the optimal structure for the DTV (Digital TV) receiver system with an array antenna. In this paper, we apply the ML(Maximum likelihood) approach, which is a classical method in the theory of detection and estimation. And we examine the limitation of it. It is that the number of multi-paths should be less than that of antennas. But it conflicts with the indoor channel environment. To deal with this problem, we propose a sub-optimal structure, which has lower complexity and computation load, as compared with the optimal structure. And to verify the performance, we compare the SER(symbol error rate) curve of each system by computer simulation.

We consider the deconvolution problem of estimating an image from a noisy blurred version of it. In particular, we are interested in the boundary effects: since the convolution operator is non-local, the blurred image depend on the scenery outside the field of view. Ignoring this dependency leads to image distortion known as boundary effect. In this article, we consider two different approaches to treat the non-locality. One is to estimate the image extended outside the field of view. The other is to treat the influence of the out of view scenery as boundary clutter. Both approaches are considered from the Bayesian point of view.

This paper explores novel techniques involving number theoretic concepts to perform real-time digital signalprocessing for high bandwidth data stream applications in digital signalprocessing. Often the arithmetic manipulations are simple in form (cascades of additions and multiplications in a well defined structure) but the numbers of operations that have to be computed every second can be large. This paper discusses ways in which new number theoretic mapping techniques can be used to perform DSP operations by both reducing the amount of hardware involved in the circuitry and by allowing the construction of very benign architectures down to the individual cells. Such architectures can be used in aggressive VLSI/ULSI implementations. We restrict ourselves to the computation of linear filter and transform algorithms, with the inner product form, which probably account for the vast majority of digital signalprocessing functions implemented commercially.

The performance of Bayesian detection of Gaussian signals using noisy observations is investigated via the error exponent for the average error probability. Under unknown signal correlation structure or limited processing capability it;is reasonable to use the simple quadratic detector that is optimal in the case of an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) signal. Using the large deviations principle, the performance of this detector (which is suboptimal for non-i.i.d. signals) is compared with that of the optimal detector for correlated signals via the asymptotic relative efficiency defined as the ratio between sample sizes of two detectors required for the same performance in the large-sample-size regime. The effects of SNR on the ARE are investigated. It is shown that the asymptotic efficiency of the simple quadratic detector relative to the optimal detector converges to one as the SNR increases without bound for any bounded spectrum, and that the simple quadratic detector performs as well as the optimal detector for a wide range of the correlation values at high SNR.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years and motivate a host of new challenges for distributed signalprocessing. The problem of distributed or decentralized estimation has often been considered in the context of parametric models. However, the success of parametric methods is limited by the appropriateness of the strong statistical assumptions made by the models. In this paper, a more flexible nonparametric model for distributed regression is considered that is applicable in a variety of WSN applications including field estimation. Here, starting with the standard regularized kernel least-squares estimator, a message-passing algorithm for distributed estimation in WSNs is derived. The algorithm can be viewed as an instantiation of the successive orthogonal projection (SOP) algorithm. Various practical aspects of the algorithm are discussed and several numerical simulations validate the potential of the approach.

We propose an output signal selection method for the directional diversity in VSB receiver which is to improve the reception performance of VSB system in severe Rayleigh fading channel. The VSB system has only about 0.3% of known training signal for the receiver in a data field and the reception performance of VSB receiver is degraded significantly when there are near-0 dB ghosts in received signal. To overcome this problem, the directional diversity is suggested. In directional diversity the selection of an output signal with best channel condition in point of VSB equalizer is very important to improve VSB reception performance. For the selection of the optimal signal, we extracted channel profiles in time domain for all the signals by correlating the PN511 sequence in VSB field sync and selected one signal by comparing the channel profiles. The simulation results show that the proposed method selects a signal with the best channel condition among the signals, so the reception performance of the VSB system can be improved in severe Rayleigh channels.
