Optimal, maximally accurate digital differentiators (DDS) are derived for the low-frequency range. Exact coefficients used in the proposed DDs can be readily computed from explicit formulas, whereas the optimal (minimas RE) DDs require and optimization program to derive the coefficients. The lower the frequency of differentiation, the better is the performance of the proposed differentiators, maki... View full abstract»

• ### Some practical remarks on the extended Prony's method of spectrum analysis

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):284 - 285
Cited by:  Papers (5)
| | PDF (184 KB)

Prony's method of spectrum analysis models a time series as a linear combination of complex exponentials plus a white noise. The performance of the method is very dependent on the peculiarity of the signal to be analyzed. Four algorithms for autoregressive estimation are experimentally compared to provide valid indications for the choice of the most suitable one for estimating the Prony's paramete...

• ### Introducing a third-order Wigner distribution

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):290 - 292
Cited by:  Papers (43)
| | PDF (276 KB)

A third-order Wigner distribution called the Wigner bispectrum is presented. This mixed time-frequency-frequency representation extends the standard Wigner distribution in the same way that the bispectrum extends the power spectrum. The Wigner bispectrum preserves many of the essential features and appealing properties of the Wigner distribution View full abstract»

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):299 - 300
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| | PDF (148 KB)

To produce a comfortable breeze similar to a natural one, a digital open-loop control system was utilized to control the speed of a small fan motor with 1/f fluctuation. The system was modeled as a first-order lag element with a time constant of 1.1 s. The output was controlled by commands and produced 1/f fluctuations, even though it was an open-loop system when the holding time... View full abstract»

• ### Order-recursive spectrum estimation

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):289 - 290
Cited by:  Papers (7)  |  Patents (1)
| | PDF (160 KB)

The use of a multiple-pole filter in the time-average estimation of the autocorrelation allows the power spectrum estimates to be recursive in the order of multiplicity of the filter pole. The recursive generation of the estimates from various filter orders provides the flexibility to select the estimator of interest in terms of the variance and spectral and temporal resolution View full abstract»

| | PDF (348 KB)

The problem of computing image texture features in parallel computers is addressed. It is shown that R. Haralick's texture measures (1973) are amenable to efficient implementation in certain fine-grained architectures. The main operation used to compute these features is the SEND, also called Random Access Write, command. This command is efficiently implemented in a number of computers, such as bi...

The design of variable-structure control (VSC) systems for a class of multivariable, nonlinear, time-varying systems is presented. Using the Utkin-Drazenovic method of equivalent control and generalized Lyapunov stability concepts, the VSC design is described in a unified manner. Complications that arise due to multiple inputs are examined, and several approaches useful in overcoming them are deve... View full abstract»

The application of a contrast measure for segmenting images and the relationship of this method to polynomial-based classification are considered. The relevance of the segmentation method is shown by applying the contrast measure to a semiconductor manufacturing inspection problem. The contrast measure is shown to be a particular case of a pixel classification technique based on polynomial decisio... View full abstract»

1/f noise in semiconductors, semiconductor devices, and collision-free devices (like vacuum tubes) is presented from a unified point of view, using an extended version of the F.N. Hooge equation (Physica, vol. 83b, p.9, 1976), which is generalized to all collision-dominated systems involving mobility, diffusion, and cross-section fluctuations. It also applies to collision-free processes involving ... View full abstract»

A technique to extract the resonant frequencies of a radar target is presented. The scheme is completely automated, with only the number of natural modes expected and the beginning of late-time as inputs. Results using experimental data demonstrate the insensitivity of the method to random noise and to estimates of model content. The technique is computationally efficient, taking only a few minute...

Some recent results are summarized concerning a class of algorithms known as regular iterative algorithms, particularly with respect to their implementations on processor arrays. Regular iterative algorithms contain all algorithms executed by systolic arrays as a proper subclass and are therefore of considerable importance in real-time signal processing applications. Some general concepts concerni... View full abstract»

An overview is presented of a hybrid technique for solving electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems by combining the method of moments (MM) with a special Green's function. The method, referred to as an MM/Green's function solution, combines the ability of MM solutions to treat geometrically complex bodies with the accuracy and computational efficiency of Green's function solutions.

• ### Comments, with reply, on Future trends in wafer scale integration' by R.O. Carlson and C.A. Neugebauer

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):283 - 284
| | PDF (168 KB)

The commenter argues that the authors of the above paper (see ibid., vol.74, no.12, p.1741-1752, 1986) prematurely dismissed memory as a WSI candidate. He raises the valid point that WSI memory is easier to implement than WSI logic. He proposes a wafer virtual memory as particularly suitable for WSI, using a look-up table to keep track of good and bad RAM cell locations, and thus routing the addre... View full abstract»
