Neutral delay differential equations contain the derivative of the unknown function both with and without delays. Some new phenomena can appear, hence the theory of neutral delay differential equations is even more complicated than the theory of non-neutral delay equations. The oscillatory behavior of the solutions of neutral systems is of importance in both the theory and applications, such as...

This paper presents joint maximum likelihood detection (MLD) using channel coding information for orthogonal code division multiple access (CDMA) to decrease the required average received signal-tonoise power ratio (SNR) satisfying the target block error rate (BLER), and investigates the effect of joint MLD from the conventional coherent detection associated with channel coding. In the paper, w...

In this work, we derive a equivalent delay-Doppler channel matrix of the Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation that has not been studied in previous literature. It has the similar structure as the banded channel matrix of OFDM systems over rapidly time-varying channels. However, the band in the equivalent channel matrix will no longer spread with the increase of the Doppler spread o...

The spread of epileptiform activity was monitored in guinea-pig neocortical slices by the use of a voltage-sensitive dye (RH795) and a fast optical recording technique. Epileptiform activity induced by bicuculline methiodide (10-20 microM) and single-pulse stimulation spread from the stimulation site in layer I or in the white matter across most of the slice. Different lesions were made in the ...

Measurements of delay spread were performed at microwave frequencies of 3.35, 8.45 and 15.75GHz along quasi line-of-sight streets in metropolitan Tokyo. It is found that the delay spreads increase with the measurement distance and reach around 600 ns up to 1 km. It is also confirmed that a cumulative probability of the delay spreads follows a log-normal distribution. The gradients of delay spre...

This paper explores the accuracy of Saleh-Valenzuela (SV) statistical simulation model in time of arrival domain (ToA) applied on inter-floor wide band indoor radio channels. In order to extract the model parameters, an extensive measurement campaign was performed inside a modern building by applying vector network analyzer method at frequency of 1.8 GHz. The measurement results are presented i...

The objective of this paper is to study the wideband characteristics of the radio channel in a tunnel environment, not only the delay spread, but also the angle of departure/arrival of the rays, their relative weights and their delays, which are important values for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output applications. In order to achieve this goal, a measurement campaign has been carried out in a strai...
