A combination of the very low signal-to-noise ratio and the very large parameter space spanned by pulsar emissions makes pulsar detection a challenging task. Currently, brute force parameter searches are often used for pulsar detection and a cyclostationary Gaussian model is assumed for pulsar emissions. Higher-Order spectra offer high signal-to-noise ratio domains in problems where the desired signal is polluted by Gaussian noise. The presence of nonzero higher-order spectral components in pulsar bursts may offer alternative detection methods. This work presents a review of higher-order statistics and offers a motivation for their use in the characterization of pulsar bursts. A dish from the MeerKAT telescope was used to acquire recorded radio bursts from pulsar J0437-4715. These bursts were found to contain nonzero bispectral components that were dispersed in the same way as the components of the power spectrum.

AbstractSelective transmission or filtering always responds to either frequency or incident angle, so as hardly to maximize signal-to-noise ratio in communication, detection and sensing. Here, we propose compact meta-filters of narrow-frequency sharp-angular transmission peak along with broad omnidirectional reflection sidebands, in all-dielectric cascaded subwavelength meta-gratings. The inherent collective resonance of waveguide-array modes and thin film approximation of meta-grating are employed as the design strategy. A unity transmission peak, locating at the incident angle of 44.4° and the center wavelength of 1550 nm, is demonstrated in a silicon meta-filter consisting of two-layer silicon rectangular meta-grating. These findings provide possibilities in cascaded meta-gratings spectroscopic design and alternative utilities for high signal-to-noise ratio applications in focus-free spatial filtering and anti-noise systems in telecommunications.

In order to study the detection methods of weak transient electromagnetic radiation signals, a detection algorithm integrating generalized cross-correlation and chaotic sequence prediction is proposed in this paper. Based on the dual-antenna test and cross-correlation information estimation method, the detection of aperiodic weak discharge signals under low signal-to-noise ratio is transformed into the estimation of periodic delay parameters, and the noise is reduced at the same time. The feasibility of this method is verified by simulation and experimental analysis. The results show that under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, the integrated method can effectively suppress the influence of 10 noise disturbances. It has a high detection probability for weak transient electromagnetic radiation signals, and needs fewer pulse accumulation times, which improves the detection efficiency and is more suitable for long-distance detection of weak electromagnetic radiation sources.

The LIFT technology has applied in process of denoising to ensure the imaging precision of minor faults and structure in 3D coalfield seismic processing. The paper focused on the denoising process in two study areas where the LIFT technology is used. The separation of signal and noise is done firstly. Then denoising would be done in the noise data. The Data of weak effective signal that is from the noise data could be blended with the original effective signal to reconstruct the denoising data, so the result which has high signal-to-noise ratio and preserved amplitude is acquired. Thus the fact shows that LIFT is an effective denoising method for 3D seismic in coalfield and could be used widely in other work area.
