Pulse train deinterleaving: algorithms and cost criteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider the problem where pulse trains transmitted from a known number of sources are received on a single communications channel. These pulses are corrupted with noise. The deinterleaving problem is to determine which source contributed which pulse and the periods and phases of each source. This paper explores the performance of a number of deinterleaving algorithms. We propose an alternative to the existing forward dynamic programming (FDP) technique: simulated annealing (SA). It can use either the same cost function as for FDP, or an L1 or L2 norm output error cost function. We also investigate modelling the noise by heavytailed distributions, in addition to white Gaussian noise (WGN).

The limits of extended Kalman filtering for pulse train deinterleaving
Some signals, such as in radar systems, communication systems, and neural systems, are transmitted as periodic pulse trains. If more than one pulse train is transmitted over the same communication channel, a challenge is to separate them for source identification at the receiver. This is known as pulse train deinterleaving and is clearly a fundamental problem in the study of discrete-event syst...
متن کاملPulse train deinterleaving via the Hough transform
The nonlinear problem of pulse train deinterleaving is mapped into that of line detection in a plane. The image processing technique known as the Hough transform is then applied. The problem is now one of peak detection and the selection of a threshold is examined.
متن کاملDeinterleaving pulse trains in unconventional circumstances using multiple hypothesis tracking algorithm
The main function of Electronic Support Measure (ESM) is to receive, measure and deinterleave pulses, and then identify alternative threat emitters. Among these processes, pulse deinterleaving is vitally important because dense electromagnetic environments could cause an ESM system to receive a seemingly random pulse stream consisting of interleaved pulse trains with high noise levels. Only whe...
متن کاملDeinterleaving pulse trains using discrete-time stochastic dynamic-linear models
Pulse trains from a number of different sources are often received on the one communication channel. It is then of interest to identify which pulses are from which source, based on different source characteristics. This sorting task is termed deinterleaving. In this paper we next propose time-domain techniques for deinterleaving pulse trains from a finite number of periodic sources based on the...
