Norsk Regnesentral (Norwegian Computing Center, NR) is a private, independent, non‐profit foundation established in 1952. NR carries out contract research and development projects in the areas of information and communication technology and applied statistical modelling. The clients are a broad range of industrial, commercial and public service organizations in the national as well as the inter...

Detection thresholds were measured for a sinusoidal modulation applied to the modulation depth of a sinusoidally amplitude-modulated (SAM) white noise carrier as a function of the frequency of the modulation applied to the modulation depth (referred to as f'm). The SAM noise acted therefore as a "carrier" stimulus of frequency fm, and sinusoidal modulation of the SAM-noise modulation depth gene...

in this paper, a novel matched filter based on a new kernel function with cauchy distribution is introduced to improve the accuracy ofthe automatic retinal vessel detection compared with other available matched filter‑based methods, most notably, the methods builton gaussian distribution function. several experiments are conducted to pick the best values of the parameters for the new designedfi...

orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ofdm) has become a promising method for many wireless communication applications. however, one main drawback of ofdm systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (papr). selected mapping (slm) is a well-known technique to decrease the problem of high papr in ofdm systems. in this method, transmitter is obliged to send some bits named side informati...

In this work the performance of a wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) system with direct detection receiver is investigated. For this purpose, the probability of error in a WDMA network with OOK modulation considering crosstalk, ISI, photo detector noise and thermal noise is calculated and the effect of each on system performance is investigated. The system performance in presence of PIN...

Temporal modulation transfer functions (TMTFs) were measured for six users of cochlear implants, using different carrier rates and levels. Unlike most previous studies investigating modulation detection, the experimental design limited potential effects of overall loudness cues. Psychometric functions (percent correct discrimination of modulated from unmodulated stimuli versus modulation depth)...
