We investigate DOA (direction-of-arrival) estimation for arbitrary linear arrays, where the antenna positions may be non-integer values in half-wavelength units. We introduce an approach based on arbitrary virtual linear arrays to resolve manifold ambiguity and estimate DOA's in the superior case. These virtual arrays adopt the set of covariance lags speci ed by the original array and so themse...

Properties of small amplitude oscillations of the single reed woodwind instruments near the oscillation threshold are investigated. Analytical formulae with explicit dependence on the physical parameters of the instrument and instrumentist allow to determine the bifurcation point, the nature of the bifurcation, the amplitude of the first harmonics and the oscillation frequency. The model, which...

The Neumann system describing the motion of a particle on an n-dimensional sphere with an anisotropic harmonic potential, has been celebrated as one of the best understood integrable systems of classical mechanics. The present paper adds a detailed discussion and the determination of its action integrals, using differential equations rather than standard integral formulas. We show that the acti...

The discrete energy-eigenvalues of two nucleons interacting with a finite-range nuclear force and confined to a harmonic potential are used to numerically reconstruct the free-space scattering phase shifts. The extracted phase shifts are compared to those obtained from the exact continuum scattering solution and agree within the uncertainties of the calculations. Our results suggest that it mig...

This work is an effort towards the development of a system for the automation of traditional harmonic analysis of polyphonic scores in symbolic format. A number of stages have been designed in this procedure: melodic analysis of harmonic and non-harmonic tones, vertical harmonic analysis, tonality, and tonal functions. All these informations are represented as a weighted directed acyclic graph....

The harmonic currents are generated by single phase nonlinear loads. The mirror surplus harmonic elimination method is used mostly because of its less computation. The Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHEPWM) based methods can provide theoretically the highest quality output among all the PWM methods. In this paper SHEPWM model of a multilevel series connected voltage sour...

Distortion of sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms caused by harmonics is one of the major power quality concerns in electric power industry. Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to improve the management of harmonic distortions in power systems. Standards for harmonic control have been established. Instruments for harmonic measurements are widely available. The area of power...
