The theory of set membership (SM) identification is formulated, and applied to linear prediction (LP) analysis of speech. The LP parameters of a simulated vowel are identified as an illustration. The SM strategy results in a significant computational savings due to rejection of data which are informationless in the SM sense.

This paper introduces a new method of analysis for Delta-Sigma Modulators based on modeling the nonlinear quantizer with a linerized gain, obtained by minimizing a mean-square-error criterion[7], followed by an additive noise source representing distortion components. In the paper, input-signal amplitude dependencies of Delta-Sigma Modulator stability and signal to noise ratio are analyzed. It is shown that due to the nonlinearity of the quantizer, the signal-to-noise ratio of the modulator may decrease as the input amplitude increases prior to saturation. Also, a stable third-order Delta-Sigma Modulator may become unstable by increasing the input amplitude beyond a certain threshold. Both of these phenomenon are explained by the nonlinear analysis of this paper. The analysis is carried out sinusoidal excitations.

A new segmentation method based on the properties of the human visual system is described in this paper. The segmentation method is part of a new second generation image coder. In addition, one of the properties is that it is not necessary to transmit (or store) the visual residual for use in reconstructing the received signal. It is assumed that the characteristics of this visual residual are known at the receiver and can be used in the reconstruction process.

Recently, ways to obtain a new generation of image-coding techniques have been proposed. The incorporation of the human visual system (HVS) models and tools of the image analysis, such as segmentation, are two defining features of these techniques. In this paper, a new image coding technique is presented which utilizes a human visual system model and a image analysis criteria together with the technique of projection onto convex sets (POCS). The human visual system model is used to determine the most probable perceptual information of an image and the removal of irrelevant information. The projection onto convex sets operation is used as a restoration technique aimed at correcting the degradations caused by the conventional coders in the transmitter part of the channel. And finally, the image analysis based technique is used as an interpolator in order to predict the unknown regions of the received image. This new technique can be used in single frame image coding applications to obtain acceptable images at extremely high compression rates.

Fundamental issues related to the design of an intelligent communication (speech or text) device for the nonverbal, profoundly motor disabled are discussed. The device is to assist a person in the generation of a message by suggesting message elements one-at-a-time, for yes/no response. A graph theoretic approach to represent contextual knowledge about a fixed language is proposed, and message generation is viewed as one of decentralized control of graph search. A strategy for integrating information from a speech recognition system is formalized. Its significance is to allow the user to attempt to speak the message. The search strategy is based on a parsing tree traversal technique which dynamically adjusts its message element presentations in accordance with contextual knowledge embedded in the graph, the information from speech recognition, and the user's responses to interrogation.

The concept of fast KL transform coding introduced earlier [7], [8] for first-order Markov processes and certain random fields has been extended to higher order autoregressive (AR) sequences and practical images yielding what we call recursive block coding (RBC) algorithms. In general, the rate-distortion performance for these algorithms is significantly superior to that of the conventional block KL transform algorithm. Moreover, these algorithms permit the use of small size transforms, thereby removing the need for fast transforms and making the hardware implementation of such coders more appealing. This improved performance has been verified for practical image data and results in suppression of the block-boundary effect commonly observed in traditional transform coding techniques. This is illustrated by comparing RBC with cosine transform coding using both one- and twodimensional algorithms. Examples of RBC encoded images at various rates are given.

Although the magnitude of the discrete Fourier transform of a maximal-length shift-register sequence is flat, except for its value at zero frequency, the higher resolution spectral content given by the Fourier-series transform is highly erratic. This little-known fact is described, and its ramifications on fast Fourier transforms of one-digit-extended pseudo noise and zero-padded pseudo noise are explained.

The popular class of synchronizers that consist of a quadratic nonlinearity followed by a phase-lock loop is investigated, and it is shown that the optimum design of the quadratic transformation is characterized in terms of a spectral correlation function for the signal to be synchronized to. It is also shown that the SNR performance of this quadratic transformation, and the mean-square phase jitter of the phaselock loop are both characterized in terms of spectral correlation functions. The conditions under which the optimum quadratic transformations, for symbol synchronization of BPSK, QPSK, SQPSK, and MSK, and for carrier synchronization of BPSK, reduce to the well-known matched-filter-squarer are identified. In addition, the well-known zeromean-square-phase-jitter condition is generalized from PAM to all synchronizable signals, and is characterized in terms of the spectral correlation function. The low-SNR maximum-likelihood synchronizer for all quadratically synchronizable signals is characterized in terms of a multiplicity of maximum-SNR quadratic spectral-line generators. A closed form implementation in terms of a matched filter, squarer, and symbol-rate-synchronized averager is obtained for BPSK and QPSK signals.

This paper is a summary of work done to characterize the residential power circuit as a communication medium. Here the term residential power circuit refers to that part of the power circuit on the secondary side of the distribution transformer. This circuit is often used for communication signals for controlling appliances, security devices, and for other purposes. The frequencies of most interest in these systems range from about 100 to 200 kHz. The interface to this circuit is usually a 120 V or 240 V receptacle used to deliver power. These communication systems are called residential power line carrier systems. Other types of power line carrier are distribution line carrier and transmission line carrier both of which are used by the power utilities for communications purposes.
