Statistical reference criteria for adaptive signal processing in digital communications

Statistical reference criteria for adaptive signal processing in digital communications

A general criterion for the design of adaptive systems in digital communications called the statistical reference criterion is proposed. The criterion is based on imposition of the probability density function of the signal of interest at the output of the adaptive system, with its application to the scenario of highly powerful interferers being the main focus of this paper. The knowledge of th...

Multirate Signal Processing Concepts in Digital Communications

Multirate systems are building blocks commonly used in digital signal processing (DSP). Their function is to alter the rate of the discrete-time signals, which is achieved by adding or deleting a portion of the signal samples. Multirate systems play a central role in many areas of signal processing, such as filter bank theory and multiresolution theory. They are essential in various standard si...

Multimedia learning objects for digital signal processing in communications

Advances in the multimedia technology provide an opportunity to enhance learning in the university education.
