It is proposed to develop a quasi-optimal RF-pulse signal receiver algorithm based on Markov theory of nonlinear filtering. Evaluating the synthesized algorithm efficiency is founded on a semi-natural experiment of processing the signal mixed with Johnson or white Gaussian noises. The developed algorithm has been simulated in Simulink MatLab. The experiment was implemented on the installation of the wireless communication National Instruments PXIe-1075. The gain in the signal to noise ratio of the nonlinear Markov filtering algorithm compared with the adaptive algorithm is from 2 to 5 dB for white Gaussian noise and various Johnson noises for correct reception error probability equaled to 0.1. The S_L Johnson noise has the best masking effect, and the S_B Johnson noise has the worst one.

Many signalprocessing applications like blind source signal separation, audio beam etc. require multi-channel synchronous data acquisition. These applications require signal to be acquired from multiple inputs that digitize the signal synchronously to preserve the phase relationship. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a multi-channel data acquisition system using a personal computer (PC). Our design does not require installation of any interface card or any other modification in the circuitry of the PC. Rather, we use the analog joystick port, found in most of the personal computers with a sound card to implement our design. Our design replaces the variable resistors of the joystick with a simple circuit that enables us to synchronously digitize four analog signals and store them. Our circuit also changes the DC bias of the analog signals and detects any lost samples due to delayed response of the host computer. To minimize the possibility of losing the samples during data acquisition, we use a modified Linux kernel.

Despite steady progress in the miniaturization of pulse oximeters over the years, significant challenges remain since advanced signalprocessing must be implemented efficiently in real-time by a relatively small size wearable device. The goal of this study was to investigate several potential digital signal processing algorithms for computing arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and heart rate (HR) in a battery-operated wearable reflectance pulse oximeter that is being developed in our laboratory for use by medics and first responders in the field. We found that a differential measurement approach, combined with a low-pass filter (LPF), yielded the most suitable signalprocessing technique for estimating SpO 2 , while a signal derivative approach produced the most accurate HR measurements

This paper demonstrates that FIFTH TM , a new vector-based genetic programming (GP) language, can automatically derive very effective signal processing algorithms directly from signal data. Using symbol rate estimation as an example, we compare the performance of a standard algorithm against an evolved algorithm. The evolved algorithm uses a novel approach in developing a symbol transition feature vector and achieves an impressive 97.7% overall accuracy in the defined problem domain, far exceeding the performance of the standard algorithm. These results suggest that vector based GP approaches could be useful in developing more expressive features for a large class of signalprocessing and classification problems.

Smart clothes increase the efficiency of long-term non-invasive monitoring systems by facilitating the placement of sensors and increasing the number of measurement locations. Since the sensors are either garment-integrated or embedded in an unobtrusive way in the garment, the impact on the subject's comfort is minimized. However, the main challenge of smart clothing lies in the enhancement of signal quality and the management of the huge data volume resulting from the variable contact with the skin, movement artifacts, non-accurate location of sensors and the large number of acquired signals. This paper exposes the strategies and solutions adopted in the European 1ST project MyHeart to address these problems, from the definition of the body sensor network to the description of two embedded signalprocessing techniques performing on-body ECG enhancement and motion activity classification

We present a rapid-prototyping environment for functional verification and test of digital signal processing algorithms. The environment consists of a Virtex-ll device on a PCI-card and an appropriate generic software backend which is used to pre- and post-process the data and to transfer it to the FPGA and pull the results from it. It is designed to meet real-time requirements by means of interleaving block-transfers to and from a large on-board memory. We use the system for the development and test of audio signalprocessing applications. The implementation and test of the gammatone-resynthesis algorithm is described as an exemplary algorithm that has been tested within the environment. The presented system is part of a software framework for rapid development of power optimized audio signalprocessing applications on behavioral level using library elements.

Two digital signal processing algorithms for frequency deviation measurement are introduced. The algorithms are derived using a new signalprocessing scheme based on quadratic forms of signal samples. These algorithms provide high measurement accuracy over a wide range of frequency changes. One is designed for measurements of small deviations of the nominal frequency, whereas the other one measures off-nominal frequency deviations. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated using computer simulation tests.< >

Design teams are increasingly looking for design flows that can rapidly lead to high performance and low power implementation of DSP algorithms. Model-based design can satisfy this requirement, but it must be (1) coupled with efficient high-level synthesis support in order to provide good Quality of Results, and (2) controlled to derive the desired area/performance/throughput trade-off. We present a semi-automatic design flow for rapid high level synthesis-based hardware design space exploration starting from Simulink digital signalprocessing models. We illustrate our flow with a realistically complex signalprocessing algorithm for estimating the direction of arrival of a sound source. We show how one can start from a functionally validated fixed point model in Simulink and then go through a relatively simple design flow for hardware synthesis and automatic design space exploration, obtaining a very efficient hardware implementation that is competitive with the RTL implementation generated by another commercial model-based design tool.

We optimize implementations of one-dimensional and multidimensional signal processing algorithms by rewriting subexpressions according to a set of algebraic identities. We encode the algebraic identities as conditional rules, and program hill climbing and simulated annealing search techniques to apply the rules. Both of these search techniques avoid an exponential explosion in memory usage because they only keep a single state in memory instead of building the entire tree of possible equivalent forms. We compare the effectiveness of these search techniques in optimizing implementations of one-dimensional multirate signal processing algorithms. Our prototype environment is written in Mathematica.
