We present an IIR filtering technique based upon a recently proposed approach for reducing power consumption in implementation of frequency-selective filters. The basic idea in such techniques is to utilize the most recent input and output signal samples to estimate the current SNR (defined as the ratio of the in-band signal power to the out-of-band signal power) at the filter's input. This estimated input SNR is then used to update the filter order to the minimum value which would guarantee a minimum tolerable SNR at the filter's output. A key issue addressed in this paper is how well the estimated filter order converges to the theoretical minimum for situations satisfying the assumptions behind the derivation of the technique. Experimental results are used to verify that convergence to the correct filter order depends (1) upon the number of input and output samples used for estimating the input SNR, (2) upon the filter order applied in generating the output samples that are used in estimating the input SNR and (3) upon the proximity of the actual input SNR to boundaries in the input-SNR space corresponding to changes in the optimal choice for filter order.
In array processing, one technique for cancelling interference in the presence of colored noise is the ULLV decomposition of a pair of matrices. The factorization is stable and accurate, and is easy to update when a r...

Satellite communication payloads for mobile communications systems require advanced digital signalprocessing and narrowband beamforming techniques to meet the traffic routing flexibility. The paper describes the key functions of a narrowband digital beamforming processor and summarises key aspects of development work performed at Marconi Space to demonstrate the feasibility of such a flight processor. This includes relevant ASIC designs to validate key processingalgorithms, multi-chip modules (MCMs) to demonstrate high density packaging techniques and a Flight Model Demonstrator to demonstrate a representative narrowband processor using the ASICs and MCMs.

In a series of ten papers published since 1994, a radically new technique for implementing a wide range of standard image processing operations has been presented, under the acronym SKIPSM (Separated-Kernel Image processing using finite State Machines). Key steps are: (1) the operation is separated into a row operation followed by a column operation, (2) these row and column operations are put in recursive form. That is, in a form compatible with either one-step software implementation or pipelined raster-scan hardware implementation, (3) the resulting operations are realized as FSMs (finite-state machines), and (4) these FSMs are implemented in software or in inexpensive off-the-shelf integrated circuits. Note that this technique does not require separability, in the usual sense. In this paper, the SKIPSM technique is applied to computing binary openings and closings in one pass using arbitrary binary structuring elements. Whether the resulting finite state machines are implemented in software or hardware, the result is generally much faster and/or much cheaper than conventional implementations. Furthermore, this same SKIPSM architecture is highly versatile and programmable, allowing it to be software-reconfigured to perform hundreds of other software- based or pipelined image processing operations, such a binary and grey-level morphology, the Grassfire Transform, binary and grey-level template matching, binary skeletonization, etc.

The advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory will be a 7-GeV machine. It is anticipated that for beam operations beyond the baseline design of 100 mA stored beam current, a transverse and longitudinal damping system is needed to damp instabilities. A key part of this digital damping system is digital signalprocessing. This digital system will be used to process samples taken from the beam and determine appropriate correction values to be applied to the beam. The processing will take the form of a transversal digital filter with adaptable filter weights. Sampling will be done at 176 MHz with a possible correction bandwidth of 88 MHz. This paper concentrates on the digital processing involved in this system, and especially on the adaptive algorithms used for determining the digital filter weights.

The denial of effective communications by enemy forces during hostile military operations has been a primary concern for military commanders since the inception of radio communications on the battlefield before World War II. Since then, the electromagnetic environment has been in a constant state of evolution toward more sophisticated jam-resistant and convert forms of modulation. For example, exotic modulation techniques employing spread spectrum (SS) signaling are routinely used by our adversaries to provide their communication links an advantage over US and Allied jammers. More recently, these same spread spectrum modulation techniques are being refined to provide convert, low probability-of-intercept (LPI) features to the unintended interceptor. The thrust of this paper focuses on developments in the theory and algorithms for detection, characterization, and exploitation of advanced waveforms using new mathematical signalprocessing tools introduced within the past decade. Specifically, quadratic time-frequency signal representations, wavelet transforms, and cyclostationary signalprocessing are introduced. This overview demonstrates the importance of these advanced techniques in a clear and concise manner. Applications and future research activities are described in this significant area that is gaining much attention in a variety of technical fields.

High performance vision systems have a complex architecture which makes them difficult to program. The objective of the ARVISA (advanced Real-time VIsion System Architecture) project was to facilitate the programming of such systems by providing an integrated application development environment. Its central component is the automatic Flow Control Planner (FCP). Using the FCP, image processingalgorithms can be specified in a device-independent, functional manner. These specifications are then automatically transformed into an executable control program for the desired target device. By examining industrial vision applications, it has been shown that the results of automatic planning by the FCP are comparable to those of manual planning by human experts, but they are created in much less time. FCP thus offers a significant improvement of efficiency for the programming of real-time vision systems.

Images and signals can be characterized by representations invariant to time shifts, spatial shifts, frequency shifts, and scale changes as the situation dictates. Advances in time-frequency analysis and scale transform techniques have made this possible. The next step is to distinguish between invariant forms representing different classes of image or signal. Unfortunately, additional factors such as noise contamination and `style' differences complicate this. A ready example is found in text, where letters and words may vary in size and position within the image segment being examined. Examples of complicating variations include font used, corruption during fax transmission, and printer characteristics. The solution advanced in this paper is to cast the desired invariants into separate subspaces for each extraneous factor or group of factors. The first goal is to have minimal overlap between these subspaces and the second goal is to be able to identify each subspace accurately. Concepts borrowed from high-resolution spectral analysis, but adapted uniquely to this problem have been found to be useful in this context. Once the pertinent subspace is identified, the recognition of a particular invariant form within this subspace is relatively simple using well-known singular value decomposition techniques.

The Mountaintop Program is an ARPA/NAVY sponsored initiative started in 1990 to study advancedprocessing techniques and technologies required to support the mission requirements of next generation airborne early warning (AEW) platforms. Central to the effort is a surveillance radar measurements program executed from various mountaintop locations including field sites at the White Sands Missile Range (WMSR), New Mexico and the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Hawaii. The program is collecting data to support the evaluation of Space-Time Adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms and the characterization and modeling of monostatic and bistatic scattering. Some of the data collected is hosted in CREST, the Common Research Environment for STAP, at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC) and is accessible to the digital signalprocessing community via the World Wide Web. A subset of that data has been provided for inclusion in the IEEE signalprocessing Information Base at Rice University. This paper includes a discussion of program objectives and test segments and a description of the program's assets, field sites, and data product. A companion off-line demonstration of AEW signalprocessing concepts, using Mountaintop data available at the MHPCC, is planned.
