Probability density function estimation for characterizing hourly variability of ionospheric total electron content

Solar flare signatures of the ionospheric GPS total electron content

6 [1] In this study, ionospheric solar flare effects on the total electron content (TEC) and 7 associated time rate of change (rTEC) derived from ground-based global positioning 8 system (GPS) receivers in the midday region are examined. The occurrence times and 9 locations of 11 solar flares are isolated from the 1–8 Å X-ray radiations of the 10 geosynchronous operational environmental satelli...

Total Ionospheric Electron Content Calibration Using SERIES GPS Satellite Data

This article describes the current status of the Deep Space Network advanced systems research into ionospheric calibration techniques, based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data. A GPS-based calibration system is planned to replace the currently used Faraday rotation method by 1989. The SERIES receiver system used in this research determines the differential group delay of signals transmitte...

Probability Density Function Estimation using theMinMax

| The problem of initial probability assignment consistent with the available information about a probabilis-tic system is called a direct problem. Jaynes' maximum en-tropy principle (MaxEnt) provides a method for solving direct problems when the available information is in the form of moment constraints. On the other hand, given a probability distribution, the problem of nding a set of constra...

Quantum Computation Based Probability Density Function Estimation

Signal processing techniques will lean on blind methods in the near future, where no redundant, resource allocating information will be transmitted through the channel. To achieve a proper decision, however, it is essential to know at least the probability density function (pdf), which to estimate is classically a time consumpting and/or less accurate hard task, that may make decisions to fail....
