In 1960, Campbell derived a quantity that he defined as the coefficient rate of a random process that involves the process spectral entropy. However, no potential applications of the coefficient rate were identified. Two new derivations of Campbell's rate coefficient rate are presented. One derivation solidifies the interpretation of this quantity as a coefficient rate and allows definition of an effective bandwidth for the process. The second derivation implies a new approach for realization adaptive source compression. The coefficient rate can be used for realization adaptive coefficient selection in a sequence of source representations. Furthermore, the effective bandwidth is designated as Campbell bandwidth and contrasted with Fourier bandwidth and Shannon bandwidth. Several specific examples are presented that illustrate the differences among the three quantities.

In this work, a high-efficiency reconfigurable digital signal processor (DSP) that consists of two arithmetic logic units and a reconfigurable computation unit is designed. The design methodology for the reconfigurable computation unit is explored based on the intermediate grain framework. The proposed reconfigurable computation unit includes 8/spl times/8 array processing elements and interconnection paths where the processing element is based on two 8-bit ripple adders and simple logic gates. This reconfigurable computation unit can be configured to perform special operations such as two 16/spl times/16-bit multiplication, sixteen 32-bit addition/subtraction, one 16-bit dot product and sixteen 8-bit absolute that utilize these 64 processing elements in different connection topologies to increase their usage rates. In the benchmark analyses, the 8/spl times/8-pixel motion estimation and 8/spl times/8-pixel discrete cosine transform are realized in the proposed reconfigurable DSP, TI TMS320C64 and MorphoSys. Additionally, the comparison of computation performances and hardware costs is performed to show that the proposed reconfigurable DSP is able to achieve a higher computation performance at a low hardware cost. Therefore, the reconfigurable DSP proposed herein can achieve high-efficiency computing for various multimedia applications.

Classifying emotion and emotion related disorders in the voice have often been studied utilizing prosodic (pitch, energy, speaking rate) and other spectral characteristics (formants, power spectral density) of the acoustic speech signal. Glottal waveform features have received little attention in the study of many emotion and emotion related disorders, but have shown strong correlations in a variety of speech pattern studies including speaker characterization and stress analysis. We employ glottal extraction techniques to obtain features related to timing, ratios, shimmer, and spectral characteristics of the glottal waveform in the study of clinical depression. Our study reports on several glottal waveform features that show very good separation among a control group and patient group of males and females suffering from a depressive disorder.

Understanding how someone is speaking can be equally important to what they are saying when evaluating emotional disorders, such as depression. In this study, we use the acoustic speech signal to analyze variations in prosodic feature statistics for subjects suffering from a depressive disorder. A new sample database of subjects with and without a depressive disorder is collected and pitch, energy, and speaking rate feature statistics are generated at a sentence level and grouped into a series of observations (subset of sentences) for analysis. A common technique in quantifying an observation had been to simply use the average of the feature statistic for the subset of sentences within an observation. However, we investigate the merit of a series of statistical measures as a means of quantifying a subset of feature statistics to capture emotional variations from sentence to sentence within a single observation. Comparisons with the exclusive use of the average show an improvement in overall separation accuracy for other quantifying statistics.

Combined with antenna diversity, space-time coding is an attractive candidate for high-rate transmission systems such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this paper, we propose space-time block coded OFDM systems that use training symbols coded by STBC. We use two training symbols at the beginning of each of two OFDM frames that are simultaneously transmitted from two corresponding transmit antennas. Based on the orthogonality of space-time block codes, we perform channel estimation by using training symbols, and compare to EM-based channel estimation methods. From the simulation results, we observe that our space-time block coding technique offers a good approach to channel estimation and better signal quality than the EM-based method.

A new system enhancement method is proposed for the EIA/TIA-136 system offering both channel operational range extension and improved performance within the current operational range. The research presented investigates the application of the narrowband adaptive multi-rate (NB-AMR) speech codec and the wideband AMR (WB-AMR) codec, both originally designed for the 200 kHz GSM channel, in the TDMA (TIA/EIA-136) 30 kHz system. In particular, we investigate adaptively allocating bits between NB/WB speech coding and error control within the limited channel bandwidth. Four modes out of seventeen have been carefully chosen for the new TDMA/AMR system. Switching between codec rates as channel conditions change produces range extension below a C/I of 15 dB while also improving performance in the existing operational range above 15 dB. Time slot formats are unchanged so that the method is completely compatible with existing 136 systems.
