Abstract-In this paper, a scheme for estimating frequencies and damping factors of multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data is presented. multidimensional NMR data can be modeled as the sum of several multidimensional damped sinusoids. The estimated frequencies and damping factors of multidimensional NMR data play important roles in determining protein structures. In this paper we present a high-resolution subspace method for estimating the parameters of NMR data. Unlike other methods, this algorithm makes full use of the rank-deficiency and Hankel properties of the prediction matrix composed of NMR data. Hence, it can estimate the signal parameters under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by using a few data points. The effectiveness of the new algorithm is confirmed by computer simulations and it is tested by experimental data.
Abstract-Downlink beamforming is a promising technique for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems with multimedia services to effectively reduce strong interferences induced by high data rate users. In this paper, a new downlink beamforming technique is proposed that converts downlink beamforming problem into a virtual uplink one and takes into account of the data rate information of all users. Since the main complexity of this method is due to the existence of multidelay paths, two simplified algorithms are suggested using equivalent one-path channel vector to replace multipath channel vectors. Computer simulation results are given to evaluate downlink capacity of DS-CDMA systems using base station antenna array and the new algorithms proposed in this paper.
Abstract-Currently existing subpixel motion estimation algorithms require interpolation of interpixel values which undesirably increases the overall complexity and data flow and deteriorates estimation accuracy. In this paper, we develop discrete cosine transform (DCT)-based techniques to estimate subpel motion at different desired subpel levels of accuracy in the DCT domain without interpolation. We show that subpixel motion information is preserved in the DCT of a shifted signal under some condition in the form of pseudophases, and we establish subpel sinusoidal orthogonal principles to extract this information. The proposed subpixel techniques are flexible and scalable in terms of estimation accuracy with very low computational complexity O(N 2 ) compared to O(N 4 ) for the full-search block-matching approach and its subpixel versions. Above all, motion estimation in the DCT domain instead of the spatial domain simplifies the conventional hybrid DCT-based video coder, especially the heavily loaded feedback loop in the conventional design, resulting in a fully DCT-based high-throughput video codec. In addition, the computation of pseudophases is local, and thus a highly parallel architecture is feasible for the DCT-based algorithms. Finally, simulation on video sequences of different characteristics shows comparable performance of the proposed algorithms to block-matching approaches.
We propose novel discrete cosine transform (DCT) pseudophase techniques to estimate shift/delay between two one-dimensional(1-D) signals directly from their DCT coefficients by computing the pseudophase shift hidden in DCT and then employing the sinusoidal orthogonal principles, applicable to signal delay estimation remote sensing. Under the two-dimensional (2-D) translational motion model, we further extend the pseudophase techniques to the DCT-based motion estimation (DXT-ME) algorithm for 2-D signals/images. The DXT-ME algorithm has certain advantages over the commonly used full search block-matching approach (BKM-ME) for application to video coding despite certain limitations. In addition to its robustness in a noisy environment and low computational complexity, O(M(2)) for an MxM search range in comparison to the O(N(2) . M(2)) complexity of BKM-ME for an NxN block, its ability to estimate motion completely in DCT domain makes possible the fully DCT-based motion-compensated video coder structure, which has only one major component in the feedback loop instead of three as in the conventional hybrid video coder design, and thus results in a higher system throughput. Furthermore, combination of the DCT and motion estimation units can provide space for further optimization of the overall coder. In addition, the DXT-ME algorithm has solely highly parallel local operations and this property makes feasible parallel implementation suitable for very large scale integration (VLSI) design. Simulation on a number of video sequences is presented with comparison to BKM-ME and other fast block search algorithms for video coding applications even though DXT-ME is completely different from any block search algorithms.
Abstract-In this paper, we investigate adaptive blind source separation and equalization for multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We first analyze the convergence of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) used in MIMO systems (MIMO-CMA). Our analysis reveals that the MIMO-CMA equalizer is able to recover one of the input signals, remove the intersymbol interference (ISI), and suppress the other input signals. Furthermore, for the MIMO finite impulse response (FIR) systems satisfying certain conditions, the MIMO-CMA FIR equalizers are able to perfectly recover one of the system inputs regardless of the initial settings. We then propose a novel algorithm for blind source separation and equalization for MIMO systems. Our theoretical analysis proves that the new blind algorithm is able to recover all system inputs simultaneously regardless of the initial settings. Finally, computer simulation examples are presented to confirm our analysis and illustrate the effectiveness of blind source separation and equalization for MIMO systems.
Most of the existing algorithms for parameter estimation of damped sinusoidal signals are based only on the low-rank approximation of prediction matrix and ignore the Hankel property of the prediction matrix. In this correspondence, we propose a modified KT (MKT) algorithm exploiting both rank-deficient and Hankel properties of the prediction matrix. Computer simulation results demonstrate that compared with the original KT algorithm and the matrix pencil algorithm, the MKT algorithm has lower noise threshold and can estimate the parameters of signal with larger damping factors.
This paper proposes a new parameter estimation algorithm for damped sinusoidal signals. Parameter estimation for damped sinusoidal signals with additive white noise is a problem of significant interest in many signal processing applications, like analysis of NMR data and system identification. The new algorithm estimates the signal parameters using a matrix pencil constructed from the measured data. To reduce the noise effect, rank deficient Hankel approximation of prediction matrix is used. The performance of the new algorithm is significantly improved by structured low rank approximation of prediction matrix. Computer simulations show that the noise threshold of the new algorithm is significantly better than the existing algorithms.
