The conventional Zhu's differential space-time modulation(DSTM) based on quasi-orthogonal design adopted a complex precoder in order to allow an independent joint detection of two complex symbols without any channel informations at a receiver. In this paper, by simply replacing the complex precoder used in Zhu's DSTM with a real precoder, a new DSTM is presented for four transmit antennas. The real precoder enables the receiver to decode two real symbols pair separately, and thus the new DSTM has greatly reduced decoding complexity compared to the Zhu's DSTM. By computer simulation results, the proposed scheme is shown to exhibit almost identical or improved error performance compared to the existing DSTMs.

Purpose: A growing number of studies have been providing evidence for neural connections between the auditory and somatosensory systems that might be a critical part of the mechanisms underlying certain forms of tinnitus. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements on tinnitus. Methods: One hundred sixty-three tinnitus patients participated in this study. All patients underwent a thorough audiological examination including pure-tone audiometry, tinnitus handicap inventory, and evaluation of tinnitus loudness, frequency and severity on a visual analog scale. Somatic testing consisting of nine forceful jaw muscle contractions was performed to evaluate the effect of TMJ movements on modulation of tinnitus. Results: 66.9% of patients had unilateral tinnitus. Somatic testing modulated tinnitus loudness in 125 ears (57.6 %) of 217 ears tested. An increase in tinnitus loudness was observed more often than a decrease. Loudness was most commonly increased by opening and clenching jaw. Tinnitus could be induced by opening, clenching and deviating jaw to the left. Conclusion: Our study showed evidence that TMJ movements may aggravate and even evoke tinnitus and somatic testing can be used for evaluating if stimulation of the TMJ induces or aggravates tinnitus.

In this paper, the transmission of an improper-complex second-order stationary data sequence is considered over a strictly band-limited frequency-selective channel. It is assumed that the transmitter employs linear modulation and that the channel output is corrupted by additive proper-complex cyclostationary noise. Under the average transmit power constraint, the problem of minimizing the mean-squared error at the output of a widely linear receiver is formulated in the time domain to find the optimal transmit and receive waveforms. The optimization problem is converted into a frequency-domain problem by using the vectorized Fourier transform technique and put into the form of a double minimization. First, the widely linear receiver is optimized that requires, unlike the linear receiver design with only one waveform, the design of two receive waveforms. Then, the optimal transmit waveform for the linear modulator is derived by introducing the notion of the impropriety frequency function of a discrete-time random process and by performing a line search combined with an iterative algorithm. The optimal solution shows that both the periodic spectral correlation due to the cyclostationarity and the symmetric spectral correlation about the origin due to the impropriety are well exploited.

In this paper an optical encryption system, which can decrypt the original image by using the autocorrelation terms of a JTC, is proposed. Unlike the classical JTC, the joint input plane of the proposed system is composed in a frequency domain not a spatial domain, thus it needs only one Fourier transformation. To use like this, the phase component appeared in the output plane of JTC should be considered. We presents the effect of phase and provides the solution. An original image is encrypted to a complex-valued random image. The original image is reconstructed using the autocorrelation terms which is the main drawback of JTC, therefore the proposed system is more suitable for JTC and real time processing. By computer simulation and optical experiment, the analysis for the phase effect and the performance of the proposed system are confirmed.

In this paper, we propose an efficient Viterbi processor using Joint Viterbi detection and decoding (JVDD) algorithm for a for bluetooth low energy (BLE) system. Since the convolutional coded Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) signal is specified in the BLE 5.0 standard, two Viterbi processors are needed for detection and decoding. However, the proposed JVDD scheme uses only one Viterbi processor by modifying the branch metric with inter-symbol interference information from GMSK modulation; therefore, the hardware complexity can be significantly reduced without performance degradation. Low-latency and low-complexity hardware architecture for the proposed JVDD algorithm was proposed, which makes Viterbi decoding completed within one clock cycle. Viterbi Processor RTL synthesis results on a GF55nm process show that the gate count is 12K and the memory unit and the initial latency is reduced by 33% compared to the modified state exchange (MSE).

In this paper, we proposed a wavelet phase-only filter modulation synthetic discriminant function joint transform correlator(WPOfSDF-JTC) for scale invariant pattern recognition, and an improved algorithm to reduce the filter synthesis time. Computer simulation showed that the proposed filter has better SNR than CWMF if input image has random noise and the improved synthesis algorithm can reduce the iteration time. We used frequency selective JTC to solve the problem of the optical alignment and eliminate the autocorrelation and crosscorrelation between each input image.

A new dual-mode algorithm for blind equalization of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals is proposed. To solve the problem that the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) converges to the constellation with the arbitrary phase rotation, with the modification of the CMA, the proposed algorithm accomplishes blind equalization and carrier phase recovery simultaneously. In addition, the dual-mode algorithm combining the modified constant modulus algorithm (MCMA) with decision-directed (DD) algorithm achieves the performance enhancement of blind convergence speed and steady-state residual ISI. So we can refer the proposed algorithm to as a scheme for joint blind equalization and carrier phase recovery. Simulation results for i.i.d. input signals confirm that the dual-mode algorithm results in faster convergence speed, samller residual ISI, and better carrier phase recovery than those of the CMA and DD algorithm without any significant increase in computational complexity.

본 논문에서는 이동통신 시스템에서 성능 열화의 주요 원인인 주파수 선택성 페이딩과 전자기기에서 발생하는 임펄간 간섭 환경에서 DS/CDMA 시스템의 성능 개선을 정량적으로 분석하였다 시스템으로 고려한 변식은 비동기식 MFSK와 MDPSK를 이용한 MFSK-MBPSK 결합변조 방식이다. 분석 결과, 선택성 페이딩에서 합성변조 시스템에 대하여 E$_{b}$/Nn$_{o}$ =20일 때를 기준으로 한 경우, M$_{f}$ =4, M$_{p}$=2인 경우가 가장 성능이 좋았으며, 그 다음으로 M$_{f}$ =2, M$_{p}$=4인 경우, 그리고 M$_{f}$ =4, M$_{p}$=4인 순서대로 오율 성능이 좋았다. 그리고 MRC 다이버시티 기법 및 부호화 기법을 채용한 경우 효과적으로 시스템 성능의 열화를 보상할 수 있었다. 또한, 합성변조기법을 사용함으로써 강한 임펄스 환경에서도 만족할 만한 시스템 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

Challenges in cognitive radio and tactical communications include recognizing anonymously received signals and estimating parameters in a blind or semi-blind manner. In this paper, we examine this issue for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. There are several parameters in OFDM signaling, and the blind receiver must extract and consider the synchronization issue. We assume that the blind receiver is aware of modulation type, OFDM, and not aware of chip duration and the length of cyclic prefix. First, we present new criteria based on kurtosis to estimate these parameters and compare their performance at different levels of additive white Gaussian noise with methods based on correlation, kurtosis, maximum likelihood, and matched filter. Then, we perform synchronization and estimate the start time based on these criteria and several new criteria in two steps: fine and coarse synchronization. Finally, in a more practical setup, we present the idea of jointly estimating the mentioned parameters and the signal start time as coarse synchronization. We compare different criteria and show that one of the proposed criteria has the highest efficiency.
