“Fata Morgana”: ancora su strabismi e asincronie by Berardino Palumbo

“…Having very quickly presented those international scenarios, I point out how in them (and partly in the national scene itself) many of the theoretical issues that emerged in those years then led to a radical reconfiguration of current and basic notions, research practices and styles of ethnographic representation; and therefore it is proposed that the discussion, even polemical, should be able to be declined on the level of concrete outcomes of research. …”

Research on single snapshot DOA estimation algorithm based on incompletely overlapped signal by Mingchao QU, Weijian SI, Yazhi YUAN

“…To address the problem that traditional direction-of-arrival （DOA） estimation algorithms did not fully utilize the signal characteristics of active decoys and radar， which led to poor angular resolution of anti-radiation missile， a single snapshot direction finding algorithm for polarization sensitive array based on incompletely overlapped signals was proposed.Specifically， the signal data received by the array was firstly processed by polarization smoothing.After that， exploiting the signal characteristics of incompletely overlapped signals of radar and active decoys， the constructed conjugate replication augmented matrix was differentiated to obtain each signal’s conjugate replication augmented matrix.Finally， DOA estimation results of each signal were acquired by solving a convex optimization problem.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method shows superior estimation accuracy and lower computational complexity compared with the conventional algorithms.…”
