This special issue on Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing serves two purposes. The first goal is to provide an overview of current trends and new research results in the broad field of Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing. The second goal is to celebrate Professor Giovanni L. Sicuranza’s contributions in this field on his seventyfifth birthday. Specifically, this issue aims to honor his pion...

The conditions for the implementation of a nonlinear radar using probing signal having form as periodic sequence pairs radio pulses with different amplitudes and equal energies, are considered. energies reflected compared in locator receiver each pair, which makes it possible to detect reflections from devices at frequency by violating equality these energies. A numerical experiment was perform...

Many communications and sensing applications hinge on the detection of a signal in noisy, interference-heavy environment. Signal processing theory yields techniques such as generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) to perform when received samples correspond linear observation model. Numerous practical exist, however, where has passed through nonlinearity, causing significant performance degrada...

This review provides a summary of the work completed to date on the nonlinear dynamics of resonant microand nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). This research area, which has been active for approximately a decade, involves the study of nonlinear behaviors arising in small scale, vibratory, mechanical devices that are typically integrated with electronics for use in signal processing, act...

Optical communications based on Nonlinear Fourier Transform (NFT) and digital coherent transceivers are proposed as a new theoretical framework for over the nonlinear optical fiber channel. For discrete eigenvalue transmissions (or soliton transmissions), one seeks to encode much information possible in each degree of freedom shorten distance between neighboring pulses increase overall bit rate...
