The main purpose of this paper is to develop the method of characteristic functions for calculating the detection characteristics in the case of the object surrounded by rough surfaces. This method is to be implemented in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems using optimal resolution algorithms. By applying the specified technique, the expressions have been obtained for the false alarm and cor...

Epilepsy is the most common brain diseases that cause many problems in the daily life of the patient. In most attempts to automatic detection, the attack used an EEG. In this paper, The complete data set consists of five sets recorded from normal and epileptic patients. Each set containing 100 single-channel EEG segments. Here we used first and last sets (A and E). Set A consisted of segments r...

The design of an integrated distributed wireless network comprised of thousands of microsensors that can perform tasks with low energy consumption poses some interesting signal processing challenges. In this paper, we propose two “selective gossip algorithms” taking advantage of the sparse representation that Support Vector Machines (SVMs) provide for the decision boundaries, to perform classif...

As a means of increasing the awareness of the sensing sciences among undergraduates, a novel design course has been developed by the Tennessee Technological University and the University of South Florida. Students study, design, fabricate, and test a wireless-based sensor system that relays data over a radio-frequency link for centralized processing. Weekly seminars on applicable topics in tele...

this paper addresses the signal processing principles in passive bistatic radar (pbr) systems. in this case, the detection problem in the presence of system noise, clutter/multipath, direct signal and interfering target signals is investigated. to this light, two types of detectors are studied. in the first one, which is based on intuitive sense, we examine two detectors. in the second type det...

Artificial neural network (ANN) has application in communication engineering in diverse areas such as channel equalization, channel modeling, error control code because of its capability of nonlinear processing, adaptability, and parallel processing. On the other hand, wavelet transform (WT) with both the time and the frequency resolution provides the exact representation of signal in both doma...
