We present an information-based analysis of three candidate imagers: a conventional lens system, a cubic phase mask system, and a random phase mask system. For source volumes comprising relatively few equal-intensity point sources we compare both the axial and lateral information content of detector intensity measurements. We include the effect of additive white Gaussian noise. Single and distr...

n this work, decision feedback (DF) detection algorithms based on multiple processing branches for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing systems are proposed. The proposed detector employs multiple cancellation branches with receive filters that are obtained from a common matrix inverse and achieves a performance close to the maximum likelihood detector (MLD). Constrained minimum...

Due to abundant spectral information contained in the hyperspectral images, they are suitable data for anomalous targets detection. The use of spatial features in addition to spectral ones can improve the anomaly detection performance. An anomaly detector, called nonparametric spectral-spatial detector (NSSD), is proposed in this work which utilizes the benefits of spatial features and local st...

objective(s): the energy resolution of a cadmium-zinc-telluride (czt) solid-state semiconductor detector is about 5%, and is superior to the resolution of the conventional anger type detector which is 10%. also, the window width of the high-energy part and of the low-energy part of a photo peak window can be changed separately. in this study, we used a semiconductor detector and examined the ef...

In this paperwepresent a population declining ant colonyoptimization (PDACO) multiuser detector for asynchronous CDMA communications. Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms have already been used inmultiuser detection inCDMAsystems; however, as the pheromone accumulates, we may not get a global optimum because it stops searching early. PDACO can enlarge searching range through increasing the ...

We consider interference rejection for synchronous CDMA frequency non-selective channels using multiuser decision-feedback detector. The average error rate of the ideal two-user decision feedback detector is derived in a closed form and the asymptotic multiuser efficiency is proved to be unity. The effect of error propagation on the actual decision-feedback detectors is investigated through sim...

Carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. Raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°C. Sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

In this paper the design of a new high-speed current mode BiCMOS logic circuits isproposed. By altering the threshold detector circuit of the conventional current mode logic circuitsand applying the multiple value logic (MVL) approach the number of transistors in basic logicoperators are significantly reduced and hence a reduction of chip area and power dissipation as wellas an increase in spee...

We study the performance of differential orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) over independent and semi-identically distributed block Rayleigh fading channels. In this semi-identical fading model, the channel gains from different transmit antennas to a common receive antenna are identically distributed, but the gains associated with different receive antennas are non-identically distribute...
