A spectral approach to logical distribution-free classification is presented. The discriminant function is based on logical conjunctions which are called descriptors of the classes. The main steps of the algorithm are: (1) finding a minimal descriptor for each pattern class, (2) computing a local discriminant function for each minimal descriptor and (3) making the actual classification of the observed pattern into a class. For constructing minimal descriptors we utilize spectral algorithms to extract the prime implicants of the Boolean function corresponding: to a prototype class. The spectral algorithms involve computing Walsh and conjunctive (need-Muller) spectra for which there exists fast algorithms.

We apply a matched filter based SAR algorithm to process ground penetrating radar data. The algorithm discussed is for a stepped frequency type radar although it can be applied to other types with few modifications. The selection of the synthetic aperture length considering the ground attenuation, antenna beam pattern and the scattering pattern of the object being imaged is also discussed.

This paper attempts to assess the potential performance gain of spatial-temporal processing relative to conventional spatial processing, for signals obeying a deterministic parametric model. The Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) on the estimates of the source directions of arrival (DOA) is used to quantify this gain. Spatial-temporal processing does not yield any such gain in the single source case, or for multiple coherent signals. However, significant gains can be achieved for multiple non-coherent signals.

This paper presents two simple, accurate and efficient delay models, the static delay model and the dynamic delay model, to support performance optimization of VLSI Sea-of-Wires Arrays (SWA). The SWA delay model treats each distributed gate as an attribute-based primitive gate with different internal and external connection wires. Instead of solving differential equations, the SWA model determines delays by lookup from a multi-dimensional table. Only a few microseconds of execution time are needed per gate. The propagation delay along a circuit path is the sum of the delay segments of distributed gates in the path. The critical path of an SWA design can be identified with an O(n) timing analysis algorithm. For most AHPL Benchmarks, the table-lookup method achieves 5 orders of magnitude speedup over SPICE for the same circuits with error margin less than 7%.< >

The major problem for active sonar operating in shallow water is reverberation. High time-bandwidth waveforms and coherent matched filtering are often used to improve the detection performance. However, in the case of channel distortion, this approach is severely limited and more robust detectors are needed. We evaluate the performance of several detectors for various channel models. We examine the robustness of the detectors by evaluating the performance in the case of mismatch between the detector and the channel parameters. Studying the relation between the fast fading distortion model and the time spreading distortion we show that, under certain conditions, these distortions have a similar effect on the waveform.

The problem addressed in this paper is minimum variance adaptive sensor array processing subject to limitations on the dimension of the adaptive processor. Advances in technology have made it possible for space-segment and airborne platforms to support arrays composed of many elements for communications and radar systems. However, the computational complexity requirements of such sensor arrays, coupled with the desire or requirement for space-time processing, may prohibit full adaptivity. A new technique for rank reduction based upon a cross-spectral performance index is introduced, and it is shown that this method results in a lower minimum mean-square error (MMSE) than the principal components method of rank reduction. An example is provided which demonstrates that the Wiener filter operating in the subspace selected by this new metric outperforms the optimal filter operating in the subspace chosen based upon the largest eigenvalues criteria.

The comparative performance of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) receiver for different excisers is presented. The performance of the adaptive time-frequency (ATF) exciser is ranked along with fixed and optimal transform domain-based excisers. The smart ATF exciser is able to decide on the domain of processing. For the narrowband interference case, the ATF exciser employs an adaptive subband filter bank with the best transform basis. The bit error rate performance of DSSS receiver is simulated for ATF, DFT, DCT, optimal KLT, and fixed subband filter bank-based interference cancellers. It is shown that the smart ATF exciser significantly outperforms the others for the scenarios considered. The performance of ATF is very robust to the variations of the interference.

A smart adaptive time-frequency (ATF) excision algorithm is proposed to perform interference suppression in spread spectrum communications. The ATF exciser has the intelligence of deciding the domain of the excision. Additionally, adaptive subband transforms are utilized for frequency domain excision in order to track the spectral variations of the incoming signal. This adaptive transform approach brings significant performance improvements in spectral resolution. Bit error rate (EER) performance of the novel ATF exciser-based direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system receiver is compared with other existing transform domain-based DSSS receivers. Time localized or frequency-localized interferer types and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels are considered in the study. In all cases, the smart ATF exciser-based DSSS receiver drastically outperforms the existing competitors. Its robust performance against the variations of the interferers is verified.

This paper is concerned with reducing the rank of the adaptive weight vector in radar array signalprocessing. The motivation for reducing the rank is that modern space-time processing requires many more weights than can be supported on airborne and space-segment platforms. The loss incurred in partially adaptive radar processing is that the steady-state Wiener solution of the lower rank weight vector may not perform as well as the full rank solution. Hence, this paper examines the Wiener solution of partially adaptive radar arrays and compares the performance of principal component techniques with the cross-spectral technique.

We propose an intelligent subchannel structuring and orthogonal basis selection algorithm for the discrete multicarrier modulation. This algorithm examines the unevenness and power levels of the given channel spectrum. The orthogonal modulation basis is well tailored to the properties of the channel in the proposed scheme. It is shown that the proposed approach leads to a smaller number of unequal bandwidth discrete carriers than the current technology. This provides a reduced complexity in digital transceivers with a near optimum performance.
