In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...

introduction in recent years methods based on radio frequency waves have been used for detecting breast cancer. using theses waves leads to better results in early detection of breast cancer comparing with conventional mammography which has been used during several years. materials and methods in this paper, a new method is introduced for detection of backscattered signals which are received by...

Noise is widely understood to be something that interferes with a signal or process. Thus, it is generally thought to be destructive, obscuring signals and interfering with function. However, early in the 20th century, mechanical engineers found that mechanisms inducing additional vibration in mechanical systems could prevent sticking and hysteresis. This so-called “dither” noise was later intr...

  Background : Cement industry has many process units. Basically all of these units can be considered as a source of noise. Since noise pollution is defined based on its offensive hearing effects, the importance of the noise sources depends directly on the number of workers in the unit.   Materials and Methods : An experimental study has been done at Tehran cement factory to recogn...

background outer hair cells' (ohcs') dysfunctions as the extent of temporary and permanent threshold shifts (tts and pts) and cochlear damage were assessed in rabbits exposed to continuous noise methods twelve new zealand white rabbits were studied in noise (n) (n=6; exposed to continuous noise; 95 db spl, 500-8000 hz for 8 h per day during 5 consecutive days) and control (c) (n=6; no...

the problem of discrimination between two stationary ar(p) plus noise processes is consideredwhen the noise process are different in two models. the discrimination rule leads to a quadratic form withcumbersome matrices. an approximate and analytic form is given to distribution of the discriminant. thesimulation study has been used to show the performance of discrimination rule. the cumulants of...
