One of the most computationally intensive processing stages of a wideband digital receiver is the extraction of a narrowband channel from a wideband input signal. In implementations that compute the convolutional sum, the computation is proportional to the bandwidth of the input signal. This paper shows how to break this dependence, reducing the limiting factor to the requirement to maintain a ...

in ultra-wideband (uwb) multistatic microwave breast cancer imaging, the long imaging time is an important issue. in this paper, a novel imaging method for multistatic uwb radarbased microwave breast cancer imaging using sparse sampling has been proposed that significantly reduces the amount of data and imaging time. in this method, instead of measuring multistatic radar signals conventionally,...

Ionospheric scintillation has a significant impact on the availability of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), especially when the GPS/WAAS receiver is dynamically stressed. An example of such a scenario would be an aircraft using WAAS to make an approach and landing. This study investigated the tolerable wideband interference level given various conditions ...

In wideband wireless communication systems the RAKE receiver is commonly used to collect the resolvable multipath energy and counter the effects of fading through diversity. However, in channels with large delay and energy spread, its high complexity still remains a major issue. This motivates the study and application of computationally efficient finger placement algorithms that significantly ...

Smart antennas, with spatial processing, used in code division multiple access (CDMA) multiuser communications can enhance range, reliability and capacity. Moreover, the adaptive beamforming technologies can remove unwanted noise and jamming from the received signal. In this paper, we use least mean square algorithm and propose four adaptive antenna receiver structures for directsequence (DS) C...

A multiple input multiple output ultra-wideband cognitive radar based on compressive sensing is presented in this letter. For traditional UWB radar, high sampling rate analog to digital converter at the receiver is required to meet Shannon theorem, which increases hardware complexity. In order to bypass the bottleneck of ADC or further increase the radar bandwidth using the latest wideband ADC,...

Instrumentation for ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements in liquids and solids is described. 5 MHz pulse generator is assembled using CMOS integrated circuits (4011, 7414, 74121, and 4010), having pulse width 2 microseconds to 60 microseconds. The wideband receiver is developed using Wideband Low Distortion, High Gain Operational Amplifier (OPA 643). The gain and bandwidth of the re...
