This research introduces the hybrid Multilayer feed forward Neural Network (NN) and the Maximum Likelihood (ML) technique into the problem of estimating a single component chirp signal parameters. The unknown parameters needed to be estimated are the chirp-rate, and the frequency parameters. NN was trained with several thousands noisy chirp signals as the NN inputs, where the chirp-rate and the...

Using wavelet analysis we have detected the presence of chirps in seizure EEG signals recorded from kindled epileptic rats. Seizures were induced by electrical stimulation of the amygdala and the EEG signals recorded from the amygdala were analyzed using a continuous wavelet transform. A time–frequency representation of the wavelet power spectrum revealed that during seizure the EEG signal is c...

We experimentally investigate the initial chirp dependence of slow and fast light effects in a semiconductor optical amplifier followed by an optical filter. It is shown that the enhancement of the phase shift due to optical filtering strongly depends on the chirp of the input optical signal. We demonstrate approximately 120 degrees phase delay as well as approximately 170 degrees phase advance...

This paper presents the implementation of Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) pulse compression technique over acoustic waveguides at frequency range (2kHz--3kHz). The medium used for acoustic chirp propagation is air. Real time pulse compression was carried out over DSP kit (TMS320C6713). The obtained range from the compressed pulse accedes to the actual range of the target (sound source). The s...

A simple algorithm based on discrete chirp Fourier transform (DCFT) is used for the chirp signal parameters estimation in impulse noise environments. A modification of the DCFT is introduced in order to produce accurate estimates in this case. This modification, called the robust DCFT, produces highly accurate results in impulse noise environments, while for the Gaussian noise it is only slight...

Spectral warping is a technique that transforms a digital signal in the time domain by a warping of the frequency axis in its frequency representation. This corresponds to a mapping of the samples in the z-domain such that they are unevenly spaced around the unit circle. Spectral warping can be implemented with a network of linear all-pass filters. The Spectral Warping has a property that a tim...

This Letter presents a series of time reversal experiments conducted on the surface of a fused silica glass block. Four different time reversal techniques are compared using three different imaging conditions. The techniques include two classical time reversal experiments: one with a pulse waveform source and one with an impulse response generated from a chirp signal. The other two techniques u...
