The general-order multichannel fast transversal filter (FTF) algorithm is a generalization of the multichannel FTF algorithm in which the orders of the input channels can be independently specified. A normalized version of this algorithm is derived and applied to a special case of a two-input-channel, joint-process estimator: one of the input channels is defined as the unit-delayed joint-process signal. The configuration is an equation error form for least-squares pole-zero (ARMA) system identification; it is also used in decision-directed equalization and echo cancellation. A summary of the algorithm is given in proper execution order, with an operations count for each step.< >

Transversal recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithms estimate filter coefficients which minimize the accumulated sum of the square of the error residuals, termed the error power. The sensitivity of this error power to random perturbations about the optimum filter coefficients is investigated. Expressions are derived for the mean and variance of the deviation from the optimum error power. It is shown that for the prewindowed growing-memory RLS algorithm ( lambda =1), the mean value of the deviation increases linearly with the number of iterations. The variance of the deviation increases in proportion to the square of the number of iterations. Expressions are derived for the variance of correlated signals. These expressions show that the variance of the deviation for correlated signals increases compared to uncorrelated white signals by a term related to the sum of the square of the off-diagonal elements of the sample autocorrelation matrix. Expressions are also derived for the mean and variance of the deviation for the exponentially windowed RLS algorithm ( lambda <1). In this case, the deviations are bounded and inversely proportional to 1- lambda .< >

Delta-sigma modulation is gaining widespread use as a monolithic analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion technique in a wide variety of applications. The behavior of delta-sigma modulators depends on the statistics and nature of the input signal. The behavior of the circuit is input-amplitude-dependent, due to the nonlinearity (two-level quantizer). The nonlinear behavior of high-order delta-sigma modulators with bandlimited Gaussian inputs is analyzed.< >

Two interrelated personal computer (PC) based speech training aids have been developed: one for use in a school or clinic, the Speech Training Station (STS);and the other for the deaf child's home, the Speech Practice Station (SPS). The STS monitors speech production by microphone, electroglottograph, and pneumotachograph. The SPS system uses only the microphone input. Both systems utilize commercially available board-level hardware and a custom analog preprocessor board for the analysis of the acoustic and/or physiologic inputs. The school system has been used by speech therapists for diagnosis, training by game playing, and specification of exercises for the SPS. The home system provides directed speech practice between therapy sessions.

Pulsewidth-constrained signals are developed for use on the degraded direct-detection optical channel. A two-dimensional representation for these signals is obtained and used to design a trellis-coded-modulation (TCM) system for use on the optical channel. The theoretical advantage of optical TCM is shown, through use of the cutoff rate, to range from 7.5 to 9 dB, depending on the throughput rate of the system. The practical potential is shown, through the actual design of a TCM system, to be as high as 6.7 dB.< >

In ocean acoustic tomography, maximal length binary shift- register sequences, m-sequences, are used to modulate acoustic carriers to achieve high average power and good time and Doppler resolution. To date, the underwater transmitters and receivers have been in fixed positions, and signalprocessing has consisted of demodulation followed by factor inverse filtering. Ocean tomography now is being extended to include the use of moving, ship-towed, transmitters and receivers, where signalprocessing must account for Doppler time and frequency resealing. This paper describes the signal demodulation and processing methods developed for moving ship tomography and presents illustrative results.

An approach to time-domain pitch detection based on the concepts of center of mass is presented and evaluated. Excursions, or bumps, in speech signals are treated as geometric areas and replaced by their total mass lumped at the centers of mass. Intervals between masses are grouped into candidate classes. Coincidence and coherence indices of these classes are computed to determine the most likely pitch estimate. Postprocessing consists of a simple error-correction and silence-detection scheme. This algorithm compares favourably in performance with the autocorrelation method, using pitch contours from electroglottograph signals as a reference. The algorithm is tested in noisy environments simulated by uniformly distributed white noise and multitalker babble noise. Results show that the algorithm is robust and accurate. The implementation of this algorithm for a vibrotactile device to aid lipreading is described.< >

AlGaAs/GaAs self-aligned gate heterostructure FETs with gate lengths varying from 0.3 to 1.5 mu m were fabricated to study short-channel effects. Peak extrinsic transconductance as high as 360 mS/mm was achieved with this process. Short-channel effects such as increases in the output conductance, increases in the subthreshold current, and shifts in the threshold voltage are reported for temperatures ranging from 30 degrees C to 100 degrees C. The observations follow closely predictions from a simple model which attributes the effects to space-charge-limited electron injection into the GaAs buffer layer beneath the actual two-dimensional electron gas channel.< >

A new adaptive identification scheme is introduced for a non-Gaussian white noise driven linear, nonminimum phase FIR system. The adaptive scheme is based on non-causal auto-regressive (AR) modeling of higher-order cumulants of the system output. In particular, the matnitude and phase response estimates at each iteration are expressed in terms of the updated parameters of the non-causal AR model. The set of updated AR parameters is obtained by employing the LMS algorithm and by using higher-order cumulants instead of time samples of the output signal. It is demonstrated by means of standard examples that the new adaptive scheme works well and as expected outperform the modified (autocorrelation-based) LMS algorithm for nonminimum phase system identification.

A discrete-time method is proposed for the estimation and cancellation of intersymbol interference in a digital communication channel. The received signal is first demodulated and sampled and then the fourth-order cumulants of the resulting discrete-time sequence are estimated. The method estimates the channel impulse response from the complex cepstrum of the aforementioned fourth-order cumulants (i.e., tricepstrum). As such, the proposed method depends only on the second- and fourth-order statistics of the transmitted sequence and is capable of reconstructing nonminimum-phase impulse responses. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, its low sensitivity to observation noise, and its improved performance in terms of probability of error of the reconstructed transmitted sequence. Performance comparisons are also given using existing equalization techniques.< >
