Blind mismatch correction of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADC) is a challenging task. We present a practical blind calibration technique for low-computation, low-complexity, and high-resolution applications. Its key features are: dramatically reduced computation; simple hardware; guaranteed parameter convergence with an arbitrary number of TI-ADC channels and most real-life input signals, with no bandwidth limitation; multiple Nyquist zone operation; and mixed-domain error correction. The proposed technique is experimentally verified by an M = 4 400 MSPS TI-ADC system. In a single-tone test, the proposed practical blind calibration technique suppressed mismatch spurs by 70 dB to 90 dB below the signal tone across the first two Nyquist zones (10 MHz to 390 MHz). A wideband signal test also confirms the proposed technique.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 blind 노드가 이동하거나 움직이는 장애물 (ex. 사람)로 인하여 RSSI가 급격히 변하더라도 정확한 blind 노드 측위를 가능하게 하는 exponential moving average (EMA) 필터 적용 적응적 신호 모델 기반 삼변측량기법을 제안한다. 제안된 EMA 필터 적용 적응적 신호 모델 기반 삼변측량기법은 고정된 세 개의 전파 송신 노드와 blind 노드 간 얻어진 RSSI를 통해 blind 노드의 위치를 측정한다. 또한 외부 환경 요인으로 인해 RSSI가 급격히 변화할 경우 non-LOS (NLOS) 환경인 것인지 혹은 blind 노드의 이동으로 인한 RSSI 변화인지를 판별한다. Blind 노드와 전파 송신 노드 사이 경로가 NLOS 환경이 되었다고 판단될 경우 LOS 환경에서 측정된 RSSI를 기반으로 NLOS 환경에서 측정된 RSSI를 보정하여 blind 노드의 좌표를 도출하고, blind 노드가 이동하였다고 판단된다면 실시간 측정된 RSSI를 이용하여 blind 노드의 좌표를 도출한다. 제안 기법은 ZigBee 기반 testbed를 통해 검증하였으며, NLOS 환경 혹은 blind 노드가 이동하는 환경 하에서 기존 기법 대비 개선된 위치 인식 정확도를 가짐을 증명하였다.

We address the problem of Blind Source Separation(BSS) of superimposed signals in situations where one signal has constant or slowly varying intensities at some consecutive locations and at the corresponding locations the other signal has highly varying intensities. Independent Component Analysis(ICA) is a major technique for Blind Source Separation and the existing ICA algorithms fail to estimate the original intensities in the stated situation. We combine the advantages of existing sparse methods and Kernel ICA in our technique, by proposing wavelet packet based sparse decomposition of signals prior to the application of Kernel ICA. Simulations and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. The approach is general in the way that it can be tailored and applied to a wide range of BSS problems concerning one-dimensional signals and images(two-dimensional signals).

This paper proposes an abnormal V-shaped-error-free non-blind deconvolution technique featuring an adaptively segmented forward-problem based iterative deconvolution (ASDCN) process. Unlike the algebraic based inverse operations, this eliminates any operations of differential and division by zero to successfully circumvent the issue on the abnormal V-shaped error. This effectiveness has been demonstrated for the first time with applying to a real analysis for the effects of the Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) and/or Random Dopant Fluctuation (RDF) on the overall SRAM margin variations. It has been shown that the proposed ASDCN technique can reduce its relative errors of RTN deconvolution by $10^{13}$ to $10^{15}$ fold, which are good enough for avoiding the abnormal ringing errors in the RTN deconvolution process. This enables to suppress the cdf error of the convolution of the RTN with the RDF (i.e., fail-bit-count error) to $1/10^{10}$ error for the conventional algorithm.

Many machine failures are not detected well in advance due to the masking of background noise and attenuation of the source signal through the transmission mediums. Advanced signal processing techniques using adaptive filters and higher order statistics have been attempted to extract the source signal from the measured data at the machine surface. In this paper, blind deconvolution using the eigenvector algorithm (EVA) technique is used to recover a damaged bearing signal using only the measured signal at the machine surface. A damaged bearing signal corrupted by noise with varying signal-to-noise (s/n) was used to determine the effectiveness of the technique in detecting an incipient signal and the optimum choice of filter length. The results show that the technique is effective in detecting the source signal with an s/n ratio as low as 0.21, but requires a relatively large filter length.

Emergency Warning Service will be the most important service of VANET. Transmission delay is the most important performance criteria of the warning service. Most legacy research takes a way to minimize the packet collision. However those approach has a critical weak point on urban environment where there is a blind area of electric wave. So another issue is required in order to provide enhanced warning message propagation technique to overcome the urban environment problem. In this paper, I proposed an enhanced warning message propagation scheme in the poor electric wave environment as the intersection area. Proposed scheme forwards the warning message to the blind area by enhanced forwarding node selection technique. For efficiency of warning message propagation, I suggest forwarding priority for decision of forwarding node. And the node has a direct mode or redirect mode depending on neighbor nodes. The simulation was carried out to evaluate the performance. The simulation results show that proposed scheme has the superior performance compared to legacy warning message technique.

A blind interference canceller in the presence of subchipspaced multipath channels for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) down-link system is considered. This technique is based on combining the existing blind interference canceller with a technique that involves assigning subchip-tap spacing to the Rake receiver. The proposed receiver minimizes the receiver’s output energy subject to a constraint in order to mitigate the multiple access interference (MAI) along each multipath component, and then suboptimally combining all the multipath components. Moreover, it is able to mitigate the mismatch problem when subchip-spaced multipath components arrive at the blind interference canceller. It is known that optimal combining techniques perform a decorrelation operation before combining, which requires both knowledge and computational complexity. In the following, we have adopted a simpler but suboptimum approach in the combining of the suppressed signals at the output of our proposed receiver. Computer simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed receiver to handle subchip-spaced multipath components and still suppresses MAI significantly.

This paper presents the computerised simulation of colour-blindness and proposes a colour enhancement technique to aid colour-blinded people to use Visual Display Units (VDU). With the red-green colour perception difficulties, the ISH model has been used to develop the algorithms. The simulator and colour enhancement have been tested by colour-blind people and compared to existing simulators for colour-blindness.
