Using data taken during WFC3's Thermal Vacuum 2 (TV2) testing campaign, we have characterized the non-linearity of the IR-1 detector. Cubic polynomials were used to fit the signal and produce correction coefficients to remove the non-linearity effects. We have also created a mask that identifies pixels with non-nominal behavior. This population of pixels represents 4.1% of the total number of a...

A topological multiple testing scheme for one-dimensional domains is proposed where, rather than testing every spatial or temporal location for the presence of a signal, tests are performed only at the local maxima of the smoothed observed sequence. Assuming unimodal true peaks with finite support and Gaussian stationary ergodic noise, it is shown that the algorithm with Bonferroni or Benjamini...

_~ Figure 1: Conceptual diagram of bunch-by-bunch feedback. The phase-of each bunch is detected and a feedback signal particular to that bunch is produced by the filter and is applied via the kicker. _~ The phase is.. dejected, filtered, and the feedback correction signal is applied by the kicker. Since we are damping energy oscillations using measurements of phase, the required feedback signal...

This paper focuses on the joint synthesis of constant envelope transmit signal and receive filter aimed at optimizing radar performance in signal-dependent interference spectrally contested-congested environments. To ensure desired Quality Service (QoS) each communication system, a precise control energy injected by licensed/shared bandwidth is imposed. Besides, along with an upper bound to max...

In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...

Filter pad light absorption measurements are subject to two major sources of experimental uncertainty: the so-called pathlength amplification factor, β, and scattering offsets, o, for which previous null-correction approaches are limited by recent observations of non-zero absorption in the near infrared (NIR). A new filter pad absorption correction method is presented here which uses linear reg...

In this paper a new approach for design of class-AB current-mode square-root domain filters based on the electronically simulated translinear loop principle is presented. FG-MOS transistors that operate in strong inverted saturation region are employed for implementation of translinear loop circuit. The filter achieves immunity to body effect, low circuit complexity, large input dynamic ran...

A new CMOS programmable balanced output transconductor (BOTA) is introduced. The BOTA is a useful block for continuous-time analog signal processing. A new CMOS realization based on MOS transistors operating in the saturation region is given. Application of the BOTA in realizing bandpass–lowpass–allpass–notch biquad mixed mode filter using four BOTAs and two grounded capacitors and in realizing...
