The book addresses the current demand for a scientific approach to advanced wireless technology and its future developments, including the current move from 4G to 5G wireless systems (2020), and the future to 6G wireless systems (2030). It gives a clear and in-depth presentation of both antennas and the adaptive signal processing that makes antennas powerful, maneuverable, and necessary for advanced wireless technology. Moving towards the increasing demand for a scientific approach to smart antennas, the book presents electromagnetic signal processing techniques to both control the antenna beam and to track the moving station, which is required for effective, fast, dynamic beamforming. In addition to presenting new, memory efficient and fast algorithms for smart antennas, another helpful feature of the book is the inclusion of complete listings of MATLABTM codes for powerful techniques such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) beamforming, Analytical Phase Shift technique and the traditional Least Mean Square method, The student, researcher or engineer may readily use these codes to gain confidence in understanding, as well as to develop and deploy powerful, new smart antenna techniques. The first part of the book presents a comprehensive description and analysis of basic antenna theory, starting from short dipole antennas to array antennas. This section also includes important concepts related to antenna parameters, electromagnetic wave propagation, the Friis equation, the radar equation and wave reflection and transmission through media. The second part of the book focuses on smart antennas, commencing from a look at traditional approach to beam forming before getting into the details of smart antennas. Complete derivation and description of the techniques for electromagnetic field signal processing techniques for adaptive beam forming are presented. Many new and research ideas are included in this section. A novel method for fast, low memory and accurate, maneuverable single beam generation is presented, as well as other methods for beamforming with fewer elements with a simple method for tracking the mobile antenna and station. In this section, for completeness, the use of antenna signal processing for synthetic aperture techniques for imaging are also presented, specifically the Inverse Synthetic Aperture Imaging technique. Some computer codes are given for the student and researcher to get started with new areas to explore. The third part of the book presents technological aspects of advanced wireless technology, including Artificial Intelligence driven steerable single beams, the 5G wireless system and the various devices needed to construct the system. While the books' main emphasis is theoretical understanding and design with the basic tools needed to develop powerful computer code for the smart antennas, it also provides the algorithms or codes in a number of important cases to show how the smart antenna computer codes may be developed using electromagnetic signal processing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven beam forming is presented using computationally fast and low-memory demanding technique for AI beam forming is presented with the different excitation functions available. The final chapter outlines certain techniques to develop smart antenna algorithms and computer codes for beginners, researchers, and engineers, and furthermore, to implement a part of what was learnt, including AI techniques.
The current popular and scientific interest in virtual environments has provided a new impetus for investigating binaural and spatial hearing. However, the many intriguing phenomena of spatial hearing have long made it an exciting area of scientific inquiry. Psychophysical and physiological investigations of spatial hearing seem to be converging on common explanations of underlying mechanisms. These understandings have in turn been incorporated into sophisticated yet mathematically tractable models of binaural interaction. Thus, binaural and spatial hearing is one of the few areas in which professionals are soon likely to find adequate physiological explanations of complex psychological phenomena that can be reasonably and usefully approximated by mathematical and physical models. This volume grew out of the Conference on Binaural and Spatial Hearing, a four-day event held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in response to rapid developments in binaural and spatial hearing research and technology. Meant to be more than just a proceedings, it presents chapters that are longer than typical proceedings papers and contain considerably more review material, including extensive bibliographies in many cases. Arranged into topical sections, the chapters represent major thrusts in the recent literature. The authors of the first chapter in each section have been encouraged to take a broad perspective and review the current state of literature. Subsequent chapters in each section tend to be somewhat more narrowly focused, and often emphasize the authors' own work. Thus, each section provides overview, background, and current research on a particular topic. This book is significant in that it reviews the important work during the past 10 to 15 years, and provides greater breadth and depth than most of the previous works.
This book is concerned with the processing of signals that have been sampled and digitized. The authors present algorithms for the optimization, random simulation, and numerical integration of probability densities for applications of Bayesian inference to signal processing. In particular, methods are developed for the computation of marginal densities and evidence, and are applied to previously intractable problems either involving large numbers of parameters or where the signal model is of a complex form. The emphasis is on the applications of these methods notably to the restoration of digital audio recordings and biomedical data. After a chapter which sets out the main principles of Bayesian inference applied to signal processing, subsequent chapters cover numerical approaches to these techniques, the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, the identification of abrupt changes in data using the Bayesian piecewise linear model, and identifying missing samples in digital audio signals.
Case-based reasoning in design is becoming an important approach to
computer-support for design as well as an important component in
understanding the design process. Design has become a major focus
for problem solving paradigms due to its complexity and open-ended
nature. This book presents a clear description of how case-based
reasoning can be applied to design problems, including the
representation of design cases, indexing and retrieving design
cases, and the range of paradigms for adapting design cases. With a
focus on design, this book differs from others that provide a
generalist view of case-based reasoning.
New technologies in engineering, physics and biomedicine are demanding increasingly complex methods of digital signal processing. By presenting the latest research work the authors demonstrate how real-time recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can be implemented to expand the range of traditional signal processing techniques and to help combat the problem of prediction. Within this text neural networks are considered as massively interconnected nonlinear adaptive filters.
Integrates rational approximation with adaptive filtering, providing viable, numerically reliable procedures for creating adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. The choice of filter structure to adapt, algorithm design and the approximation properties for each type of algorithm are also addressed. This work recasts the theory of adaptive IIR filters by concentrating on recursive lattice filters, freeing systems from the need for direct-form filters.;A solutions manual is available for instructors only. College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price which is available upon request.
Gaussian linear modelling cannot address current signal processing demands. In moderncontexts, suchasIndependentComponentAnalysis(ICA), progresshasbeen made speci?cally by imposing non-Gaussian and/or non-linear assumptions. Hence, standard Wiener and Kalman theories no longer enjoy their traditional hegemony in the ?eld, revealing the standard computational engines for these problems. In their place, diverse principles have been explored, leading to a consequent diversity in the implied computational algorithms. The traditional on-line and data-intensive pre- cupations of signal processing continue to demand that these algorithms be tractable. Increasingly, full probability modelling (the so-called Bayesian approach)-or partial probability modelling using the likelihood function-is the pathway for - sign of these algorithms. However, the results are often intractable, and so the area of distributional approximation is of increasing relevance in signal processing. The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and Laplace approximation, for ex- ple, are standard approaches to handling dif?cult models, but these approximations (certainty equivalence, and Gaussian, respectively) are often too drastic to handle the high-dimensional, multi-modal and/or strongly correlated problems that are - countered. Since the 1990s, stochastic simulation methods have come to dominate Bayesian signal processing. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling, and - lated methods, are appreciated for their ability to simulate possibly high-dimensional distributions to arbitrary levels of accuracy. More recently, the particle ?ltering - proach has addressed on-line stochastic simulation. Nevertheless, the wider acce- ability of these methods-and, to some extent, Bayesian signal processing itself- has been undermined by the large computational demands they typically mak
Time-frequency analysis is a modern branch of harmonic analysis. It com prises all those parts of mathematics and its applications that use the struc ture of translations and modulations (or time-frequency shifts) for the anal ysis of functions and operators. Time-frequency analysis is a form of local Fourier analysis that treats time and frequency simultaneously and sym metrically. My goal is a systematic exposition of the foundations of time-frequency analysis, whence the title of the book. The topics range from the elemen tary theory of the short-time Fourier transform and classical results about the Wigner distribution via the recent theory of Gabor frames to quantita tive methods in time-frequency analysis and the theory of pseudodifferential operators. This book is motivated by applications in signal analysis and quantum mechanics, but it is not about these applications. The main ori entation is toward the detailed mathematical investigation of the rich and elegant structures underlying time-frequency analysis. Time-frequency analysis originates in the early development of quantum mechanics by H. Weyl, E. Wigner, and J. von Neumann around 1930, and in the theoretical foundation of information theory and signal analysis by D."
This book brings together many advanced topics in network and acoustic echo cancellation which are aimed towards enhancing the echo cancellation performance of next-generation telecommunication systems. The general subject nature relates to algorithms with increased convergence speed, improved detection of double-talk from near-end speech, robust immunity to undetected double-talk, increased computational efficiency, and multi-channel capability. The resulting compendium provides a coherent treatment of such topics not found otherwise in journals or other books. The chapters are related with a common terminology, but still can be read independently.
The ability to process signals at multiple sampling rates can help reduce costs and improve performance in many DSP applications ranging from signal compression to wireless communications, consumer entertainment products and sensor networks. The theory of multirate signal processing has witnessed a great deal of progress since the publication of the first textbook by Ronald E. Crochiere and Lawrence R. Rabiner in 1983. However, this progress has been mainly in the area of deterministic systems with emphasis on perfect-reconstruction filter banks, orthogonal filter banks, systems with the same sampling rate across all channels and tree-structured systems.
Understand the theory and function of wireless antennas with this comprehensive guide As wireless technology continues to develop, understanding of antenna properties and performance will only become more critical. Since antennas can be understood as junctions of waveguides, eigenmode analysis--the foundation of waveguide theory, concerned with the unexcited states of systems and their natural resonant characteristics--promises to be a crucial frontier in the study of antenna theory. Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory incorporates the modal analysis, generic antenna properties and design methods discovered or developed in the last few decades, not being reflected in most antenna books, into a comprehensive introduction to the theory of antennas. This book puts readers into conversation with the latest research and situates students and researchers at the cutting edge of an important field of wireless technology. The book also includes: Detailed discussions of the solution methods for Maxwell equations and wave equations to provide a theoretical foundation for electromagnetic analysis of antennas Recent developments for antenna radiation in closed and open space, modal analysis and field expansions, dyadic Green's functions, time-domain theory, state-of-the-art antenna array synthesis methods, wireless power transmission systems, and more Innovative material derived from the author's own research Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory is ideal for graduate or advanced undergraduate students studying antenna theory, as well as for reference by researchers, engineers, and industry professionals in the areas of wireless technology.
1.1 Digital Optics as a Subject Improvement of the quality of optical devices has always been the central task of experimental optics. In modern terms, improvements in sensitivity and resolution have equated higher quality with greater informational throughput. For most of today's applications, optics and electronics have, in essence, solved the problem of generating high quality pictures with great informational ca pacity. Effective use of the enormous amount of information contained in the images necessitates processing pictures, holograms, and interferograms. The manner in which information might be extracted from optical entities has be come a topic of current interest. The informational aspects of optical signals and systems might serve as a basis for attacking this question by making use of information theory and signal communication theory, and by enlisting modern tools and methods for data processing (the most important and powerful of which are those of digi tal computation). Exploiting modern advances in electronics has allowed new wavelength ranges and new kinds of radiation to be used in optics. Comput ers have extended our knowledge of the informational essence of radiation. Thus, computerized optical devices enhance not only the optical capabilities of sight, but also its analytical capabilities as well, thus opening qualitatively new horizons to all the areas in which optical devices have found application."
