For the QPSK-modulated OFDM system, the channel estimation accuracy can be improved using of the soft information which is based on the iterative decoder principle of Turbo. Meanwhile, in order to avoid serious error propagation due to the error decision of the decoder, the weighted iterative estimation algorithm is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the system performance dramatically compared with the conventional scheme.

This paper deals with pilot-based channel estimation of space-time coded OFDM system in frequency selective channels. DFT-based LS and LMMSE method are studied. A practical channel estimation method is proposed. In proposed method the complexity of LS and LMMSE methods is greatly reduced by optimally designing the pilot symbols. And the performance demonstrated by simulation is close to idea channel information.

This paper proposes a decoding scheme in space-time block code system with three transmitting antennas and one receiving antenna for frequency-selective fading channels, which does not require channel estimation at the transmitter or receiver. By applying the subspace method to space-time codes, the direct decoding is accomplished from both a signal processing and space-time coding perspective. With the special orthogonal design of space-time block codes, the input of the space-time block code system is obtained from the subspace. The direct decoding is addressed for frequency-selective fading channels from a single carrier perspective. Monte Carlo simulations show the performance of direct decoding and the performance com-parison with the decoder using the perfect channel information.

A Time-Of-Arrival(TOA) estimation method for CDMA system with high reso-lution is proposed. The integrate-dump circuits are used to sample the received signals while the sampling rate is not raised, then the Discrete-Fourier-Transform(DFT) is used to transform the discrete signals to frequency domain. Based upon the CDMA signal model, the multipath channel model and the discrete frequency spectrum of the known spreading codes, the integer part of TOA with multiples of a chip interval is estimated. Then least square method in discrete frequency domain is used to estimate the remainder fractional part of TOA. This method has the high resolution with low operation volume while the sampling rate is not high, so it is an effective and high precise TOA estimation method.

Based on eigenvalue distributing of input signal, the convergent necessary, condi-tions for LMS and Normalized LMS(NLMS) algorithm are again researched through the accu-rate analysis of the misadjustment. To avoid blindness for applying LMS and NLMS algorithm, the convergent threshold and the simple adaptive calculating formula for the step-size of them are proposed. The influence of eigenvalue distributing of input signal and order of filter on the threshold of step-size is also analyzed. Compared with an existing algorithm, the characters of lower computational complexity, practicality and stronger adaptive are shown and the satisfied misadjustment is achieved by adopting the presented method for calculating the step-size.

Both chaotic sequences and nonlinear feed-forward logic (NLFFL) sequences based on linear shift register almost have the same properties: the ease of their generation and various families with a large family size and long sequence period, as well as their broadband noise-like and non-linear nature. Their generation methods, correlation properties, Code Division Multi-ple Access (CDMA) properties and their resistance against correlation attack are compared in the paper. By simulation, it shows that most of their properties are comparable, but chaotic sequences are less vulnerable to correlation attack and jamming than some NLFFL sequences when their period is less than or equal to 1023, so they have more practical value than these nonlinear sequences based on shift register.

In this paper, a novel fragile watermark technique is proposed, which is based on the method of Yeung-Mintzer’s (1997). To resolve the existing security problem, a chaotic key which is based on image feature is used to control the embedding of fragile watermark. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in resisting possible attacks. And because the watermark is embedded in pixel-wise order, the technique has good ability of detecting local alterations.

Through experiments, the performance of this method reaches or exceeds many popular ones and has value to a certainty in practice.

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a new generation learning system based on recent advances in statistical learning theory. SVMs have many well features that make them attractive for small samples, nonlinear and high dimensional pattern recognition. However, choice of Support Vectors(SVs) is difficult in SVMs, which is a bottleneck problem. In this paper, a novel method using bi-color Voronoi diagram is proposed to pre-extract SVs based on Voronoi diagram. Considering the distribution feature of samples space, this method determi-nates SVs based on the bi-color Voronoi diagram before training SVMs. Learning is based on these pre-extracted vectors. Experiments show that this method is feasible and effective.

The results of computer simulation confirm that this new approach is simpler and more effective than that given in the literature. Furthermore, these results also confirm that new CNN can be designed with CA rules and find a novel method to design CNN.

Numerical simulation results show that this method can produce a microwave image with high spatial and radiation resolutions.

The near sensing techniques with millimeter wave play important role in many fields. To make precise measurements of the radiometric brightness temperature of a target, one must set up model of the interaction between the electromagnetic radiation properties of the antenna and the incident radiation from the environment. This interaction can be described by Fredholm integral equation of the first kind which is extremely unstable. In this paper, a inversion method is presented and is then applied to retrieve armored target’s brightness temperature in millimeter wave radiometric measurements.

This paper presents a finite element method for the analysis of waveguide system without spurious modes. Prom the operator theory of the vector wave function space, a succinct and complete electromagnetic wave equation set is derived and the electiic field intensity vector can be expressed by two scalar functions. These two scalar functions are numerically computed by using finite element method so that the parameters of the waveguide system can be obtained. The method is demonstrated by the calculation of the reflection coefficients of the rectangular waveguide with an inductive diaphragm and the rectangular waveguide with an E-plane step respectively.

Ultra-wideband impulse radio is a developing high speed wireless access technology. In this paper, the principle of ultra-wideband multiaccess communication is analyzed with the transmitting signal. In order to study the system performance in mulitpath channels, the deterministic two-path model and the statistical S-V model are employed for evaluating the bit error rates of the system by simulation. The results indicate that the intersymbol interference and multiple access interference are the main factors that degrade the system performance, which, on the other hand, may be improved by antenna diversity.

It guarantees the mutual identity authentication between the legal dealer and the participating parties and can protect against the cheating action. The problems of renew and reuse are properly treated. The scheme may be applicable in practical network communication.

In this paper, a new edge-reserve filtering algorithm is presented. It adaptively adjusts the size of the filter’s supporting area according to the local variance of the interested area. The bigger the local variance is, which means the more high frequency texture information is contained in this area, the smaller the support area will be. In order to protect the edges of the image when it is filtered, this algorithm will divide the pixels in its supporting area into several groups according to the angle between its direction and the mean gradient of this area. By this way, pixels along the content edges will be given a bigger weight factors than pixels that are vertical to the image edge. Thus protect the edges from being blurred by the filtering process. The simulation results show that this algorithm is better than median filter both in terms of PSNR values and subjective image qualities. For pictures that are rich in texture information, the PSNR gain could reach 3dB higher.
