SYNOPSIS Single fibre electromyography was carried out in patients with polyneuropathy due to uraemia, diabetes, and alcohol. In the two former groups the fibre density within the motor unit and the impulse transmission were mainly normal. In the latter group the fibre density was significantly increased as signs of reinnervation. Impulse transmission was impaired in a number of the action pote...

Spectral properties and performance of multi-pulse impulse radio ultra-wideband systems with pulse-based polarity randomization are analyzed. Instead of a single type of pulse transmitted in each frame, multiple types of pulses are considered, which is shown to reduce the effects of multiple-access interference. First, the spectral properties of a multipulse impulse radio system is investigated...

In this paper a multi-statistics model of the impulse noise is presented. An impressive experimental noise data collection acquired from digital access loops provides the synthetic noise environment with the most convenient probability density functions. Internal and external impulse noise sources within communications copper lines are briefly surveyed. A wide-band noise measuring circuit is us...

In this paper, we propose a simple and effective algorithm for frequency estimation and tracking under a harmonic frequency environment. The proposed filter structure contains only one adaptive coefficient and is very efficient for tracking the fundamental frequency of the periodical signal. Index terms Adaptive IIR Notch filter, harmonics, frequency estimation

Abstmt-A new algorithm is presented for adaptive notch filtering and parametric spectral estimation of multiple narrow-band or sine wave signals in an additive broad-band process. The algorithm is of recursive prediction error (RPE) form and uses a special constrained model of infinite impulse response (IIR) with a minimal number of parameters. The convergent fdter is characterized by highly na...

In this paper we focus on multi-resolution spectral analysis algorithms for music signals based on the FFT. Two previously devised efficient algorithms (efficient constantQ transform [1] and multiresolution FFT [2]) are reviewed and compared with a new proposal based on the IIR filtering of the FFT. Apart from its simplicity, the proposed method shows to be a good compromise between design flex...

Study of the additive Gaussian noise influence on time-frequency (TF) distributions is an important issue [Article 9.1]. However, in many practical applications, especially in communications, signals are disturbed by a kind of impulse noise. These noises are commonly modeled by heavy-tailed (long-tailed) probability density functions (pdfs) [6]. It is well known fact that the conventional TF di...

After presenting results of recent impulse-noise measurements in customer premises, a proposal for a simplified statistical model for impulse noise is presented. The new model is intended to replace the deterministic single impulse, widely known as Cook Pulse, especially in the upcoming standards for SDSL and also maybe VDSL. In addition to the statistical model also herein, sample impulses are...
