In recent years many works related to the design of block-based transceivers have been published. The main target of this research activity is to optimize the use of the spectral resources in broadband transmissions. A possible way to address this problem is to reduce the amount of redundancy required by block transmissions to avoid interblock interference. An efficient solution is to employ zero-padding zero-jamming (ZP-ZJ) transceivers, which allow the transmission with reduced redundancy. ZP-ZJ systems have been successfully employed in the context of linear transceivers. This paper shows how the ZP-ZJ concept can be applied in decisionfeedback equalization. Some performance analyses based on the resulting mean-square error and error probability of symbols are included to show the possible degrading effects of the reduction in the amount of redundancy. Nevertheless, simulation results illustrate that data throughput and average mutual information between transmitted and estimated symbols can be enhanced significantly without affecting the system performance, for a certain level of signal-tonoise ratio at the receiver.

In this paper we present a new quadrifilar helix antenna designed for CubeSat applications. The quadrifilar helix antenna presented in this paper covers the UHF bandwidth between 250 MHz and 500 MHz. The antenna is fed with four ports and exhibits circular polarization as well as an acceptable gain over the desired frequency range.

The Audio and Video Bridging (AVB) technology equips Ethernet with Real-Time characteristics, based on standards developed by IEEE 802.1. In 2011, the IEEE 802,1 AVB Task group completed the first generation of AVB Standards, and is currently starting standardization work on AVB Generation 2, aimed at Industrial Automation & control networks, as well as Automotive networks. One aspect of this standardization effort is to adapt AVB stream reservation mechanisms to operate with industrial-standard fault tolerance technologies. This paper proposes a method to allow AVB to be used flexibly with different use-cases and different stream configuration mechanisms to achieve fault-tolerance. The method has been verified through simulation and has been proposed to the AVB task group for inclusion into the 2nd Generation AVB standards.

One of the main limitations of the brain functional connectivity estimation methods based on Autoregressive Modeling, like the Granger Causality family of estimators, is the hypothesis that only stationary signals can be included in the estimation process. This hypothesis precludes the analysis of transients which often contain important information about the neural processes of interest. On the other hand, previous techniques developed for overcoming this limitation are affected by problems linked to the dimension of the multivariate autoregressive model (MV AR), which prevents from analysing complex networks like those at the basis of most cognitive functions in the brain. The General Linear Kalman Filter(GLKF) approach to the estimation of adaptive MV ARs was recently introduced to deal with a high number of time series(up to 60) in a full multivariate analysis. In this work we evaluated the performances of this new method in terms of estimation quality and adaptation speed, by means of a simulation study in which specific factors of interest were systematically varied in the signal generation to investigate their effect on the method performances. The method was then applied to high density EEG data related to an imaginative task. The results confirmed the possibility to use this approach to study complex connectivity networks in a full multivariate and adaptive fashion, thus opening the way to an effective estimation of complex brain connectivity networks.
