The 2D RAKE receiver is a spatio-temporal matched filter (MF), matched to the operations of spreading, pulse-shape filtering and spatio-temporal channel filtering. An SINR maximizing linear receiver may perform much better. In the downlink, in which the channel is the same for all intracell signals, and with orthogonal codes and cell-dependent scrambling, good SINR performance can be attained w...

The diagnosis of epilepsy heavily depends on the detection of epileptiform discharges in interictal EEG, the EEG in between two seizures. By visual analysis a physician wants to detect these epileptiform discharges (spikes). Due to the wide variety of morphologies of epileptiform discharges, and their similarity to waves that are part of normal EEG or to artifacts, this detection is far from st...

Searches for binary inspiral signals in data collected by interferometric gravitational wave detectors utilize matched filtering techniques. Although matched filtering is optimal in the case of stationary Gaussian noise, data from real detectors often contains “glitches” and episodes of excess noise which cause filter outputs to ring strongly. We review the standard χ statistic which is used to...

The key contribution of this work is to develop transmitter and receiver algorithms in discrete-time for turbocoded offset QPSK signals. The proposed synchronization and detection techniques perform effectively at an SNR per bit close to 1.5 dB, in the presence of a frequency offset as large as 30 % of the symbol-rate and a clock offset of 25 ppm (parts per million). Due to the use of up-sampli...

We report a theoretical investigation of the crosstalk performance of photonic code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks that are based on coherent matched filtering of optical pulses. We describe the importance of time gating in the reduction of noise in spread-time CDMA schemes. We give guidelines for the selection of codes in coherent matched filtering, and give a code set that produces ...

Time reversal precoding accomplishes matched-filtering of the channel in wireless communication systems by precoding before every transmit antenna with the time reversed complex conjugate of the wireless channel impulse response. While time reversal maximizes the received signal energy at a single time instant (as with matched filtering) it does not eliminate intersymbol interference. This is e...

Electroneurographic recordings suffer from low signal to noise (S/N) ratios. The S/N ratio can be improved by different signal processing methods including optimal filtering. A method to design two types of optimal filters (Wiener and Matched filters) was developed for use with neurographic signals, and the calculated filters were applied to nerve cuff recordings from the cat S1 spinal root tha...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a uniaxial perfectly matched layer (PML) method for solving the time-harmonic scattering problems in two-layered media. The exterior region of the scatterer is divided into two half spaces by an infinite plane, on two sides of which the wave number takes different values. We surround the computational domain where the scattering field is interested by a PML l...
