High sensitivity and fast acquisition are two important goals that must be considered in the development of signal processing techniques for a GNSS acquisition function to meet the demands for LBS in GNSS-challenged environments, such as indoor and urban canyon. This chapter introduces the fundamentals of GNSS acquisition functions, GNSS acquisition techniques for new GNSS signals, and GNSS acquisition techniques achieving high sensitivity and fast acquisition. Therefore, this chapter contains useful information for engineers who study the fundamentals and principles of GNSS acquisition and the state-of-the-art GNSS signal acquisition techniques for weak signals.

This paper describes and discusses techniques that can effectively diagnose dynamics problems in turbomachinery. A variety of elusive dynamics problems are identified that require definition, quantification, diagnosis, and monitoring. The state of the art in measurement and signal processing techniques is discussed with reference to such factors as the directness of the measurement, the degree of intrusion required, the difficulty of installation, and the reliability or durability of the sensor. Several examples of techniques are provided that have proved to be effective in diagnosing elusive dynamics problems; some examples allow comparison of alternative techniques with different degrees of effectiveness. Problems addressed include rotating stall in the compressor section of a gas turbine, coupled lateral/torsional vibration in a gas turbine driven pipeline compressor, forced vibration of combustor parts, strain gage telemetry of blade vibrations, and nonintrusive measurement of blade vibrations using bearing-mounted accelerometers.

Four different signal processing techniques applicable to GPS geodetic equipment are considered in this paper. These are: pseudorange measurements, integrated Doppler counts, carrier phase measurements and interferometric measurements. Hardware requirements and error budgets are reviewed. Inherent performance limitations of each technique and design trade-offs involved in attempting to achieve the full performance potential, using state-of-the-art electronics are discussed. The above provides a basis for comparative analysis of those signal processing techniques applied to GPS geodetic equipment.

The reliability and safety of industrial equipments are one of the main objectives of companies to remain competitive in sectors that are more and more exigent in terms of cost and security. Thus, an unexpected shutdown can lead to physical injury as well as economic consequences. This paper aims to show the emergence of the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) concept in the industry and to describe how it comes to complement the different maintenance strategies. It describes the benefits to be expected by the implementation of signal processing, diagnostic and prognostic methods in health-monitoring. More specifically, this paper provides a state of the art of existing signal processing techniques that can be used in the PHM strategy. This paper allows showing the diversity of possible techniques and choosing among them the one that will define a framework for industrials to monitor sensitive components like bearings and gearboxes.

Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), particularly those using motor-imagery (MI) data, have the potential to become groundbreaking technologies in both clinical and entertainment settings. MI data is generated when a subject imagines the movement of a limb. This paper reviews state-of-the-art signal processing techniques for MI EEG-based BCIs, with a particular focus on the feature extraction, feature selection and classification techniques used. It also summarizes the main applications of EEG-based BCIs, particularly those based on MI data, and finally presents a detailed discussion of the most prevalent challenges impeding the development and commercialization of EEG-based BCIs.
