In this paper, a new high resolution reflectometry scheme, time-frequency domain reflectometry, is proposed to detect and locate a fault in wiring. Traditional reflectometry methods have been achieved in either the time domain or frequency domain only. However, time-frequency domain reflectometry utilizes time and frequency information of a transient signal to detect and locate the fault. The time-frequency domain reflectometry approach described in this paper is characterized by time-frequency reference signal design and post-processing of the reference and reflected signals to detect and locate the fault. Using a computational electromagnetic model of a coaxial cable with a fault, time-frequency domain reflectometry has been demonstrated. Knowledge of time and frequency localized information for the reference and reflected signal gained via time-frequency analysis, allows one to detect the fault and estimate the location accurately.

We use the Wigner distribution to study pulse propagation in a dispersive media and we show that it leads naturally to a particle view. Using the results obtained we develop a simple approximation method that evolves a pulse in time.
We calculate the instantaneous frequency at a fixed position of a propagating pulse in the asymptotic regime. We also discuss the multimode case and relate it to the concept of instantaneous bandwidth.

We formulate in a simple fashion the concept of invariance for a linear system. We show that one must define what we call an "associated Hermitian operator"' which commutes with the system function. We show that it is this Hermitian operator that defines the invariance and also determines the appropriate transform and other connections between input and output relations.

This paper examines the design of a hybrid prefix adder under the condition of non-uniform input signal arrival. This is encountered in the final adder for fast parallel multipliers, which use column compression reduction. The prefix graph scheme efficiently accommodates the non-uniform arrival times. Rules are presented for designing hybrid prefix adders under such conditions. This rule produces adders which are faster and less complex than previous work.

Despite difficulties in general division, magnitude comparison, and sign detection, residue number system arithmetic has been used for many special-purpose systems in light of its parallelism and modularity for the most common arithmetic operations of addition/subtraction and multiplication. Computation in RNS requires modular reduction, both for the initial conversion from binary to RNS and after each operation to bring the result back to within a valid residue range. Use of redundant residues simplifies this critical operation, leading to even faster arithmetic. One type of redundant mod-m residue, that keeps the representational redundancy to the minimum of 1 bit per residue, has the nearly symmetric range [-m, m) and allows two values for each pseudoresidue: (m) or (m) - m. We study the extent of simplification and speed-up in the modular reduction process afforded by such redundant residues and discuss its potential implications to the design of RNS arithmetic circuits. In particular, we show that besides cost and performance benefits, introduction of error checking and fault tolerance in arithmetic computations is facilitated when such redundant residues are used.

Impulsive transient signals have been difficult to characterize and classify using traditional signalprocessing methods. We show that time-frequency distributions can effectively characterize the transient response of an acoustical cavity. Class-dependent kernels developed from time-frequency distributions are used to successfully classify the impulsive transients.

This paper presents, Index Mapping, a technique to efficiently map a widely used class of digital signalprocessingalgorithms onto a space/time paradigm with immediate representation as the partitioning and scheduling map of a small, I/O efficient, hardware array. When applied to reconfigurable FPGA based hardware architectures with downstream Sea-of-Gates optimization methods, the resulting systems form a dynamic signalprocessing environment with the best mix of performance and flexibility for wireless applications. Herein, Index Mapping is demonstrated with a mapping of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) onto an FPGA computing machine, the ReConfigurable Processor (RCP).

We generalize the concept of the autocorrelation function to arbitrary physical variables and show how it can be used to define a local autocorrelation function. Using the local autocorrelation function we develop a new method to generate densities for arbitrary physical quantities. In addition, we show that the generalized autocorrelation function can be used to characterize functions with respect to a physical property.
