A novel microwave transversal-filter for Fibre-Optic CDMA (FO-CDMA) is described. The proposed distributed transversal-filter permits the development of receivers for high-speed networks. The transversal filter is aimed to receive efficiently spread signals at speeds of tens of Gchip/s. In order to demonstrate the concept a transversal filter was designed to operate at 10 Gchip/s and programmed...

A nonlinear semi-analytic filtering method to sequentially estimate spacecraft states and their associated uncertainties is presented. We first discuss the state transition tensors that characterize the localized nonlinear behavior of the spacecraft trajectory and illustrate the importance of higher order effects on orbit uncertainty propagation. We then present the semi-analytic filtering meth...

This letter proposes to apply the Kalman-like observer paradigm general nonlinear systems by linearization along estimated trajectory, similarly an Extended Kalman Filter. The main difference is that quadratic Riccati equation replaced a linear Lyapunov which can be solved and explicitly related determinability Gramian. allows show analysis without any ad-hoc assumption on solution, resulting o...

We investigate regular realizability (RR) problems, which are the problems of verifying whether the intersection of a regular language – the input of the problem – and a fixed language, called a filter, is non-empty. In this paper we focus on the case of context-free filters. The algorithmic complexity of the RR problem is a very coarse measure of the complexity of context-free languages. This ...

We propose a scalable state estimator with wave filter for surface vessels. The filter is shown to be either globally or locally exponentially stable depending on configuration. Performance is illustrated using actual data from a full scale semi-submersible drilling rig.
