Lag-windowing and multiple-data-windowing are roughly equivalent for smooth spectrum estimation
There is no fundamental difference between lag-windowing a correlation sequence and multiple-windowing a data sequence when the objective is to reduce the mean-squared error of a spectrum estimator. By analyzing the approximate low-rank factorization of ...

Fractionally spaced equalization of linear polyphase channels and related blind techniques based on multichannel linear prediction
We consider the problem of linear equalization of polyphase channels and its blind implementation. These channels may result from oversampling the single output of a transmission channel or/and by receiving multiple outputs of an antenna array. A number ...

Application of cumulants to array signal processing .V. Sensitivity issues
For pt.IV see ibid., vol.45, p.2265-76 (1997). Virtual-ESPRIT (VESPA) imposes a slight constraint on the array, i.e., only a pair of identical sensors are required. We follow the classical procedure to define the sensitivity of VESPA with respect to ...

Implementation issues of the two-level residue number system with pairs of conjugate moduli
One of the most important considerations when designing residue number systems (RNSs) is the choice of the moduli set; this is due to the fact that the dynamic range of the system, its speed, as well as its hardware complexity, depend on both the forms ...
