In this article, principal component analysis method, which is applied to image compression and feature extraction, is introduced into the dimension reduction of input characteristic variable of support vector regression, and a method of joint estimation of near-field angle and range based on principal component analysis dimension reduction is proposed. Signal-to-noise ratio and calculation amount are the decisive factors affecting the performance of the algorithm. Principal component analysis is used to fuse the main characteristics of training data and discard redundant information, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and the calculation amount is reduced accordingly. Similarly, support vector regression is used to model the signal, and the upper triangular elements of the signal covariance matrix are usually used as input features. Since the covariance matrix has more upper triangular elements, training it as a feature input will affect the training speed to some extent. Principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimensionality of the upper triangular element of the covariance matrix of the known signal, and it is used as the input feature of the multi-output support vector regression machine to construct the near-field parameter estimation model, and the parameter estimation of unknown signal is herein obtained. Simulation results show that this method has high estimation accuracy and training speed, and has strong adaptability at low signal-to-noise ratio, and the performance is better than that of the back-propagation neural network algorithm and the two-step multiple signal classification algorithm.


In recent communication technologies, very high sampling rates are required for rf signals particularly for signals coming under ultra high frequency (UHF), super high frequency (SHF) and extremely high frequency (EHF) ranges. The applications include global positioning system (GPS), satellite communication, radar, radio astronomy, 5G mobile phones etc. Such high sampling rates can be accomplished with time-interleaved analog to digital converters (TIADCs). However, sampling time offsets existing in TIADCs produce non-uniform samples. This poses a drawback in the reconstruction of the signal. The current paper addresses this drawback and offers a solution for improved signal reconstruction by estimation and correction of the offsets. A modified differential evolution (MDE) algorithm, which is an optimization algorithm, is used for estimating the sampling time offsets and the estimated offsets are used for correction. The estimation algorithm is implemented on an FPGA board and correction is implemented using MATLAB. The power consumption of FPGA for implementation is 57mW. IO utilization is 27% for 4-channel TIADCs and 13% for 2-channel TIADCs. The algorithm estimated the sampling time offsets precisely. For estimation the algorithm uses a sinusoidal signal as a test signal. Correction is performed with sinusoidal and speech signals as inputs for TIADCs. Performance metrics used for evaluating the algorithm are SNR (signal to noise ratio), SNDR (signal to noise and distortion ratio), SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) and PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio). A noteworthy improvement is observed in the above mentioned parameters. Results are compared with the existing state of the art algorithms and superiority of the proposed algorithm is verified.

We are investigating the feasibility of binary coded excitation methods using Golay code pairs for high frequency ultrasound imaging as a way to increase the signal to noise ratio. I present some theoretical models used to simulate the coded excitation method and results generated from the models. A new coded excitation high frequency ultrasound prototype system was built to verify the simulation results. Both the simulation and the experimental results show that binary coded excitation can improve the signal to noise ratio in high frequency ultrasound backscatter signals. These results are confirmed in phantoms and excised bovine liver. If just white noise is considered, the encoding gain is 15dB for a Golay pair of length 4. We find the system to be very sensitive to motion (i.e. phase shift) and frequency dependent (FD) attenuation, creating sidelobes and degrading axial resolution and encoding gain. Methods to address these issues are discussed.

AbstractThe conceptual guidelines in designing mm radio-telescope antennas are enlightened by some recent progress in their mechanical construction, and opto-radio-geometrical adjustment. This paper reviews concepts, illustrated in many existing solutions, including the new “phaseretrieval” holography for single dish adjustment (D.Morris, IRAM, 1982): 2 amplitude only maps at focus and out of focus, with enough dynamic range and signal to noise ratio, give surface errors within hours.
