In this paper, we discuss an improved demodulation scheme using the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) for a modulation scheme employing chirp rate shift keying (CrSK). CrSK in conjunction with the FrFT enable very high order, e.g. more than 32-ary modulation schemes to be achievable with good bit error rate (BER) performance, even in the absence of coding, thereby overcoming limitations of traditional schemes including phase shift keying (PSK) or QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation). By using an FrFT-based demodulator, we expand our demodulation degrees of freedom from a single (e.g. frequency) axis to an entire time-frequency domain, called the Wigner Distribution (WD). We show how the proposed demodulation scheme using the FrFT improves over past approaches by more than 7 dB, enabling us to achieve close to 4-ary performance with a 32-ary modulation scheme. This enables future systems to operate at 5 bits/s/Hz bandwidth efficiency, enhancing bandwidth utilization for future generation, high data rate, applications, such as internet.

The Nyquist folding receiver (NYFR) can achieve a high-probability interception of an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal with fewer devices, while the output of the NYFR is converted into a hybrid modulated signal of the local oscillator (LO) and the received signal, which requires the matching parameter estimation methods. The linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal is a typical low probability of intercept (LPI) radar signal. In this paper, an estimation method of both the Nyquist Zone (NZ) index and the chirp rate for the LFM signal intercepted by NYFR was proposed. First, according to the time-frequency characteristics of the LFM signal, the accurate NZ and the rough chirp rate was estimated based on least squares (LS) and random sample consensus (RANSAC). Then, the information of the LO was removed from the hybrid modulated signal by the known NZ, and the precise chirp rate was obtained by using the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). Moreover, a fast search method of FrFT optimal order was presented, which could obviously reduce the computational complexity. The simulation demonstrated that the proposed method could precisely estimate the parameters of the hybrid modulated output signal of the NYFR.

As a generalization of Fourier transform, the fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) contains simultaneity the time-frequency information of the signal, and it is considered a new tool for time-frequency analysis. This paper discusses some steps of FRFT in signal detection based on the decomposition of FRFT. With the help of the property that a LFM signal can produce a strong impulse in the FRFT domain, the signal can be detected conveniently. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed method is effective in detecting LFM signals.

The article describes the development of a special approach based on using multidimensional wavelet distributions principle to monitor and control the feed dozing processes in the mix preparation unit. As a key component, this approach uses the multidimensional time-frequency Wigner-Ville distribution, which is the part of Cohen's class distributions. The research focuses on signals characterizing mass transfer processes in the form of material flow measuring signals in relevant points of the unit. Wigner-Ville distribution has been shown in time terms as Fourier transform of products of multiplied parts of the signal under consideration for past and future time moments; corresponding distribution for the frequency spectrum is shown as Fourier transform of the products of signal parts for high-frequency and low-frequency fragments of the signal spectrum. It has been noted that when using a complex model of a dozing signal, discrete values (samples) of the latter are considered as its real values. The description of the signal parameters (amplitude, phase, frequency) has been carried out with the help of Hilbert transform. In Cohen's class distributions which represent one-dimensional non-stationary flow signals, the concept of ‘instantaneous frequency’ has been introduced. A graphical explanation for the transformation of a process flow signal from a one-dimensional time domain to a time-frequency 2 D/ 3 D -space is presented. The technology of developing a multidimensional image in the form of Wigner distribution for one-dimensional signals of continuous spiral or screw-type feeders has been examined in detail. There have been considered the features to support Wigner distribution, which allow to guess the presence or absence of time-frequency distribution elements in the interval of signal recording. There has been demonstrated how Wigner distribution can be obtained for a continuous-intermittent feeding signal. It has been concluded that for a certain types of the signal for zero fragments of the latter, non-zero time-frequency elements (i.e. virtual, anomalous ones) appear on the distribution. In addition to Wigner distribution, two other distributions - of Rihachek and Page - are considered. They display the same signal and also contain virtual elements, but in different domains of the time-frequency space. A generalized multidimensional compound signal distribution with a so-called distribution kernel available in it is presented, which includes a correction parameter that allows controlling the intensity of the virtual signal energy.
