Introduction The signal loss by the susceptibility artifact makes it difficult analyze the fMRI data of the orbitofrontal region of the brain. In addition, an EPI sequence, which is used in many fMRI experiments, has the geometric distortion and Nyqust ghosts. For the fMRI experiment with correction of these artifact and distortion, we used a flat RF pulse which provides nearly constant signal ...

The traditional distortion measurement transforms the time signal into the frequency domain to separate fundamental, harmonic and intermodulation components. This technique considers only the mean power in the analyzed interval and neglects the phase information. A new technique for the measurement of the signal distortion in time domain is presented that exploits both amplitude and phase infor...

Abstract Constraints on the linear growth rate, fσ8, using small scale redshift space distortion measurements have a significant statistical advantage over those made large scales. However, these need to carefully disentangle and non-linear information when interpreting distortions in terms of fσ8. It is particularly important do this given that some previous found deviation from expectation ba...

The minimization of signal distortion was one approach applied successfully in the theory of optimum signal detection for arrays [3]. The processors considered operated on the input as received. In some applications it is desirable to clip the received signal before processing and the problem of optimum processing of such clipped signals then arises. Several approaches to this problem are being...

This paper proposes an adaptive noise canceller (ANC) with low signal distortion for speech codecs. The proposed ANC has two adaptive filters: a main filter (MF) and a subfilter (SF). The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of input signals is estimated using the SF. To reduce signal distortion in the output signal of the ANC, a step size for coefficient update in the MF is controlled according to the ...

The multirate digital signal processing (DSP) is required in digital system where more than one sampling rate is required. In this paper, we propose the two channel (2dimensional) perfect reconstruction multirate filter bank, which is based on the linear canonical transform. The main motivation is the fact that Linear Canonical Transform (LCT) provides a general mathematical tool with very broa...

The temporal effect of optical phase conjugation in a semiconductor laser amplifier is studied numerically. The conjugate pulse has distortion and frequency chirping owing to the carrier depletion induced by the signal pulse. Both the pulse-shape distortion and frequency chirping are enhanced as the signal power and the injection current increase. We can reduce these two effects by increasing t...

In this paper, a new technique of signal detection has been proposed for detecting the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal in the presence of nonlinear distortion. There are several advantages of OFDM communications system. However, one of the existing problems is remain considered as the nonlinear distortion generated by high-power-amplifier at the transmitter end due to t...
