In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems, there are two main types of radio frequency front-end imperfections, i.e., carrier frequency offset and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance, which deteriorate the demodulation performance of direct conversion receiver. In this paper, a new frequency offset estimation algorithm using preambles specified in IEEE 802.11a is proposed considering the presence of I/Q imbalance. The new algorithm enjoys a low computational complexity and is less dependent on the amplitude imbalance and the angular error of the I and Q components. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to some of the existing algorithms.

An efficient channel estimation algorithm using a variable step-size adaptive filter is proposed for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) communication systems. The new algorithm is able to achieve a fast convergence and a low steady state error compared with a conventional constant step-size adaptive filtering method. The proposed algorithm is analyzed and simulated for multipath Rayleigh fading channels, showing the true channel response and the estimation results. The BER performance of the system is also simulated and compared with the Bhattacharyya bound.

In this paper, we propose a flexible architecture that performs the computation of the discrete wavelet transform, requiring a small memory space and is capable of operating at high sampling rate. The architecture employs two filtering blocks to compute the transform and one buffer to store the intermediate results. Each filtering block has two processing units that operate independently in parallel using a two-phase scheduling. An efficient scheme for the synchronization of the data flow among the three blocks is provided in order to minimize the buffer size and increase the speed of operation. Verilog and HSPICE simulation results are presented to show that the proposed architecture is more efficient for the computation of a fully decomposed discrete wavelet transform with high-tap filters than some other existing architectures in terms of their areas and speed of operations.

In this paper, a two-step channel estimation scheme is presented for downlink wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) communication systems. The proposed method employs the time multiplexed pilot symbols for an initial coarse estimation followed by a data-aided fine estimation in order to achieve a fast and accurate estimation of the complex channel gain. Our simulation shows that the proposed method works very well for both slow and fast fading channels. The computational complexity required by the proposed estimation is significantly reduced compared to some of the existing estimation techniques.

In this paper, the design of Mth-band FIR filters via semidefinite programming (SDP) is investigated. Some of the frequency response properties of a general nonlinear-phase Mth-band filter are first examined, yielding a few constraints for the amplitude and phase responses of the Mth-band filter. An SDP-based optimization problem is formulated for the least-square and minimax design of Mth-band filters. Although the formulation is established for a nonlinear phase filter, the design result shows that an exactly linear phase can be obtained when the desired phase/delay characteristic is properly specified.

In this paper, an efficient watermark embedding scheme is presented in the wavelet transform domain. A pseudorandom sequence is weighted using a weighting function and then embedded to the wavelet transform coefficients of a host image. The proposed new weighting function consists of a perceptual mask and a reliability mask, which take into account, respectively, the imperceptibility and the robustness of the marked image. A detection algorithm based on the correlation of the watermark and the marked image is also proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed embedding algorithm is very robust against various attacks including compression, cropping and low-pass filtering.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is frequently used to measure autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying pharmacologically induced changes in HRV. Previous research has shown that nicotine exposure stimulates the ANS, mediating a wide spectrum of physiological and behavioral effects, including altered respiratory sinus arrhythmia and enhanced arousal and attention. Using Lomb-Welch periodograms, the effect of nicotine on the ANS in 14 nicotinenaive human subjects are studied. Results showed an increase in the low frequency (LF) to high frequency (HF) ratio with little change in mean heart rate. Results suggest that nicotine affects both sympathetic and parasympathetic reactivities and that the LF/HF best characterizes early ANS activated nicotine changes in HRV. The Lomb-Welch periodogram of the HRV is also compared to the conventional interpolated Welch periodogram. The attenuation of the high frequency components due to interpolation of the non-uniform R-R intervals is found to be a function of the power of the high frequency components, increasing with increasing power. Thus analyses using Welch periodograms that make use of the high frequency components may yield erroneous results.
