Searching for wideband short duration chirps is an important issue in spectrum surveillance. We propose a method and apparatus, inspired by optical tomography, by which a one-dimensional signal is converted to a two-dimensional image. This image has the remarkable property that it may disclose discernible structure. A chirp in additive white Gaussian noise, even undersampled, may be detected. The process is inherently linear and may be easily implemented by parallel processing or through the construction of an optoelectronic device.
In this paper we describe aspects of an ongoing program of work aimed at the practical realization of systolic array structures to implement digital adaptive beam-forming algorithms.

Media signalprocessing requires high computing power and the algorithms exhibit a great deal of parallelism on low precision data. The basic components of multi-media objects are usually simple integers with 8, 12, or 16 bits of precision. In order to support efficient processing of media signals, Instructions Set Architecture (ISA) of the traditional processors requires modifications. In this paper, we present the quantitative analysis and the computational complexity required to perform media processing. Main classes of instructions that are needed for the required level of performance of the Media Processor are identified. Their efficient implementation and effect on the processor data-path is discussed. The main operations required in media processing are Addition (with or without saturation), Multiplication (with or without rounding), Sum of Products, and Average of two numbers.

We present a general procedure for obtaining equations of motion for the Wigner distribution of functions that are governed by ordinary and partial differential equations. For the case of fields we show that in general one must consider Wigner distributions of the four variables, position, momentum, time and frequency. We also show that in general one cannot write an equation of motion for position and momentum however it can be done in some cases, the Schrodinger equation being one such case. Our method leads to an equation of motion for the Schrodinger equation with time dependent potentials in contrast to the result obtained by Wigner and Moyal which was for time independent potentials.

This paper presents a robust algorithm for image processing using generalized reaction-diffusion equations. An edge enhancing functional is proposed for image enhancement. A number of super diffusion operators is introduced for fast and effective smoothing. Statistical information is utilized for robust edge-stopping and diffusion rate estimation. A unification of computational methods is discussed. The unified computational method is employed for the numerical integration of the generalized reaction-diffusion equations. Computer experiments indicate that the present algorithm is very efficient for edge-detecting and noise-removing.

Information processing theory aims to quantify, how well signals encode information and how well systems process information. Time-frequency distributions have been used to represent the energy distribution of time-varying signals for the past twenty years. There has been a lot of research on various properties of these representations. However, there is a general lack of quantitative analysis in describing the amount of information encoded into a time-frequency distribution. This paper aims to quantify how well time-frequency distributions represent information by using information-theoretic distance measures. Different distance measures, such as Kullback-Leibler distance, Renyi distance, will be adapted to the time-frequency plane. Their performance in quantifying the information in a given signal will be compared. A sensitivity analysis for different distance measures will be carried out to assess their robustness under perturbation. Different example signals will be considered for illustrating the information processing in time-frequency distributions.

In this review paper we discuss selected issues associated with the implementation of arithmetic for VLSI Digital signal Processors. We start with a Silicon Technology Roadmap view of the next decade, in order to grasp some of the issues facing the next generation of VLSI designers, particularly associated with high performance DSP systems. We use this roadmap to open the discussion on the role basic arithmetic operations play in the construction of DSP systems; in particular we look at the interplay between algorithms, architecture, arithmetic representation and circuit implementation. Many of the illustrative examples are taken from work conducted in the VLSI Research Group, University of Windsor over the past few years, including on- going work.

We describe a concept in which an array of coupled nonlinear oscillators is used for beamforming in phased array receivers. The signal that each sensing element receives, beam steered by time delays, is input to a nonlinear oscillator. The nonlinear oscillators for each element are in turn coupled to each other. For incident signals sufficiently close to the steering angle. the oscillator array will synchronize to the forcing signal whereas more obliquely incident signals will not induce synchronization. The beam pattern that results can show a narrower mainlobe and lower sidelobes than the equivalent conventional linear beamformer. We present a theoretical analysis to explain the beam pattern of the nonlinear oscillator array.

We consider communications and network systems whose properties are characterized by the gaps of the leading eigenvalues of A(H) A for some matrix A. We show that a sufficient and necessary condition for a large eigen-gap is that A is a "hub" matrix in the sense that it has dominant columns. We describe an application of this dominant covering theory in multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems.
