In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for resolving multiple broadband incoherent sources incident on a uniform linear array. The proposed method dose not require any initial estimates for finding the transformation matrix, while the Coherent Signal-Subspace Method(CSM) proposed by Wang and Kaveh requires preliminary estimates of multigroup source location. An effective procedure is derived for finding the enhanced spectral density matrix at the center frequency using signal enhancement approach and then constructing a common signal subspace by selecting a unitary transformation matrix which is obtained via rotation of signal subspace method. The proposed approach is found to provide superior performance relative to that obtained with the CSM method in terms of sample bias of direction-of-arrival estimates.

In order to enhance the robustness against noisy environment, the previous GPS initial synchronization method of DGPS reference stations adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method. However the previous GPS initial synchronization method muses the non-coherent integration loss, which is a dominant factor among the signal acquisition losses in noisy environment. And the non-coherent integration loss increases with the strength of noise signal. In this paper, a novel GPS initial synchronization method is proposed for robust DGPS reference stations in noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS initial synchronization method suppresses the non-coherent acquisition loss. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of the search cells of the proposed GPS initial synchronization method is much smaller than that of the previous GPS initial synchronization method Finally, through the simulation by the GPS simulator, it is seen that the GPS signal of nigh signal-to-noise ratio can be acquired under increased noise floor using the proposed GPS initial synchronization method.

In this paper, we present a method which is based on the concept of the rotation of subspaces. This method is highly related to the angle (or distance) between subspaces arising in many applications. An effective procedures is first derived for finding the optimal transformation matrix which rotates one subspace into another as closely as possible in the least squares sense , and then this algorithm is applied to the solution to general direction-of-arrival estimation problem of multiple broadband plane waves which may be a mixture of incoherent, partially coherent or coherent. In this typical application, the rotation of signal subspaces (ROSS) algorithm is effectively developed to achieve the high performance in the active systems for the case in which the noise field remains invariant with the measurement of the array spectral density matrix (or data matrix). It is not uncommon to observe this situation in sonar systems. The advantage of this techniques is not to require the preliminary processing and spatial prefiltering which is used in Wang-Kaveh's CSS focusing method. Furthermore, the array's geometry is not restricted. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the high performance achieved with this new approach relative to that obtained with Wang-Kaveh's CSS focusing method for incoherent sources and forward-backward spatial smoothed MUSIC for coherent sources including the signal eigenvector method (SEM).

This paper introduces a technique for generating an appropriate template signal via modeling of minimum-phase stable ARMA (Auto-Regressive Moving Average) system for coherent impulse communication systems. It has been well known that the transmitted impulse signal becomes deformed because of dispersive and resonant characteristics. Accordingly, in spite of using ideal template signal at the correlator, these impairments degrade overall performance attributed to low level of coherence. To increase the degree of coherence, our proposed scheme realizes A3U system derived by Gaussian pulse signal, which simulates the overall characteristic of transfer function in between transmit and receive wideband antennas so as to generate an appropriate template signal in a form of output. The performance of proposed scheme will be shown in results from computer simulations to verify its affirmative impact on impulse communication system with regarding several distinctively shaped antennas.

A general linearly constrained narrowband adaptive array is examined in the eigenvector space. The optimum weight vector in the eigenvector space is shown to have the same performance as in the standard coordinate system, except that the input signal correlation matrix and look direction steering vector are replaced with the eigenvalue matrix and transformed steering vector. It is observed that the variation in gain factor results in the variation in the distance between the constraint plane and the origin in the translated weight vector space such that the increase in gain factor decreased the distance from the constraint plane to the origin, thus affecting the nulling performance. Simulation results showed that the general linearly constrained adaptive array performed better at an optimal gain factor compared with the conventional linearly constrained adaptive array in a coherent signal environment and the former showed similar performance as the latter in a noncoherent signal environment.

Due to the low loss, broadband and accurate short time delay properties of optical fiber, it has attracted as a delay medium for high speed and broad-band signal processing. In this paper, we consider the coherent optical fiber filter of lattice structure, which uses coherent light sources and consists of directional couplers and optical fiber delay elements.The differences between the optical fiber filter and the ordinary digital filter are 1) the coupling coefficients of directional couplers are restricted between 0 and 1. 2) the optical signal is divided into ${j\sqrt{a}}and\;{j\sqrt{1-a}}$ at the directional coupler. Considering these restrictions, the design formulae and condition of realibility for optical fiber filter of lattice structure which makes the optimal use of optical signal energy are derived.

This paper concerns an efficient iterative approach for eliminating coherent interference signals in linearly constrained adaptive arrays. The Alternate Mainbeam Nulling Algorithm[1] is implemented iteratively to find an optimum weight vector. The convergence parameters in the unit gain and null constraints are calculated using steepest descent method with gradient estimation. The nulling performance of the proposed method is compared with that of conventional ones. It is shown that the proposed method performs better than conventional ones when the power of the coherent signals is large compared with a desired signal. Also, it performs consistently well for more number of interferences.

When there are low signal to noise relationships or low coherences between measured pressure and a reference sensor, a pressure field measured and estimated by NAH (Nearfield Acoustic Holography) becomes noisy on the hologram and source planes. This paper proposes a method to obtain the high coherent de-noised pressure signals from low coherent noisy ones by combining a wavelet algorithm with NAH. The proposed method obtains the de-noised field from acoustic fields on a noise source plane reconstructed through backward propagation of NAH. Thus this method does not need high coherent pressure signals on the hologram surface while the conventional nearfield acoustic holography requires high-coherent signals. The proposed method was verified by numerical simulation using noisy signals, composed of original signals and imposed noises distributed on the hologram surface.

In wireless communications, chaotic communications have been a field of interest due to its low complexity in hardware implementation and low power consumption in chaotic signal generation. Among the modulation schemes using the chaotic signal, Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) is a robust non coherent technique. As in the conventional communication systems, chaos-based systems are required to provide reasonable bit error performance in the presence of a narrow-band signal coming from any other systems. The frequency band of this foreign narrow band signal may lie within the bandwidth of the chaos-based systems. This situation may occur when chaotic signal transmission is done in the presence of other conventional communication system. This paper has evaluated the performance of the non coherent differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) system under the presence of conventional non-chaotic transmit reference system. Both systems are assumed to have same data rates. The mathematical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) are derived with computer simulations to verify the analytical results.

Subspace-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms have a difficulty in dealing with coherent signals caused by multi-path environment. As one of attempts to solve this problem, a spatial differencing method is known to be useful for not only estimating DOAs of the coherent signals but also improving the number of resolvable wavefronts even more than the number of antenna elements. However, since the conventional spatial differencing method uses only the partial statistics of the observed data, this method suffers from the performance degradation in estimation accuracy caused by the residual correlation between the uncorrelated signals. To cope with this problem, in this paper, a generalized spatial differencing method is proposed. Unlike the conventional method, the proposed method utilizes the entire statistics of the received signals. Therefore, the additional performance enhancement in both estimation accuracy and the number of resolvable wavefronts can be achieved. The performance analyses with computer simulations show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method in terms of the estimation accuracy and the number of resolvable wavefronts.
