design, simulation and optimal selection of cosine-linear frequency modulation waveform (cnlfm) based on correlated ambiguity function (af) method for the purpose of synthetic aperture radar (sar) is done in this article. the selected optimum cnlfm waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a sar image formation algorithm (ifa) and their quality effects performance ...

Design, simulation and optimal selection of cosine-linear frequency modulation waveform (CNLFM) based on correlated ambiguity function (AF) method for the purpose of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is done in this article. The selected optimum CNLFM waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a SAR image formation algorithm (IFA) and their quality effects performance ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach—time–frequency deconvolution filter—to optimally reconstruct the nonstationary (or time-varying) signals that are transmitted through a multipath fading and noisy channel. A deconvolution filter based on ambiguity function (AF) filter bank is proposed to solve this problem via a three-stage filter bank. First, the signal is transformed via ...

A new kind of ambiguity function (AF) associated with the linearcanonical transform (LCT) is proposed in this article, this new AF is defined based on the LCT and the classical AF. Firstly, the main properties and physical meanings of the newly defined AF are investigated, the results show that this kind of AF can be seen as one generalization of the classical AF. Then, the newly defined AF is ...

BACKGROUND Anticoagulation is the therapeutic paradigm for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It is unknown how physicians make treatment decisions in primary stroke prevention for patients with AF. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between family physicians' risk preferences (aversion risk and ambiguity) and therapeutic recommendations (anticoagulation) in the ...

I many circumstances, evaluations are based on empirical data. However, some observations may be imprecise, meaning that it is not entirely clear what occurred in them. We address the question of how beliefs are formed in these situations. The individual in our model is essentially a “frequentist.” He first makes a subjective judgment about the occurrence of the event for each imprecise observa...

The present experiment tested predictions of a 'perceptual-mnemonic/feature conjunction' (PMFC) model of perirhinal cortex function. The model predicts that lesions of perirhinal cortex should disrupt complex visual discriminations with a high degree of 'feature ambiguity', a property of visual discrimination problems that can emerge when features of an object are rewarded when they are part of...

| We present results concerning three diierent types of quartic (fourth order) time-frequency distributions. First, we present new results on the recently introduced local ambiguity function, and show that it provides more reliable estimates of instantaneous chirp rate than the Wigner distribution. Second, we introduce the class of quartic, shift-covariant, time-frequency distributions, and inv...

Most insurance companies publish few data on the occurrence and detection of insurance fraud. This stands in contrast to the previous literature on costly state verification, which has shown that it is optimal to commit to an auditing strategy, as the credible announcement of thoroughly auditing claim reports might act as a powerful deterrent. We show that uncertainty about fraud detection can ...
