Robust Localization in Distributed MIMO Radar Using Delay and Angle Measurements with Impulsive Noise Robust TD/AOA Localization in Impulsive Noise by Genling Huang, Yanlong Zhu

“…Firstly, the TD and AOA measurement equations are established in the presence of zero-mean symmetric α-stable noise; then, the localization problem is transformed to a ℓp-norm minimization problem by linearizing the measurement equations; and finally, the ℓp-norm minimization problem is solved using IRLS by which the target position estimate is obtained, and the optimal choice of norm order p is deduced. …”

The Cultural Science of Consumption: Brains, Networks, and Identities by Herrmann-Pillath Carsten

“…The paper uses this ‘dual selves’ approach to rethink semiotics and the emergence of meaning, building up an argument about the importance of copying, narrative and language in constituting identity though distributed cognition. Finally, the paper proposes that cultural science can reintegrate the study of meaning and cognition in order to analyse consumer behaviour and choice.…”

Blind estimation of spreading codes for multi-antenna LC-DS-CDMA signals based on tensor decomposition by Zhijin ZHAO, Hui YIN, Fangfang QIANG, Junna SHANG

“…Aiming at the problem of the poor performance of the imputation method for the spreading codes blind estimation of the multi-antenna long-code direct sequence code division multiple access (CDMA) signals.Firstly,using the segmentation idea,the received signals were constructed into a three-dimensional tensor model,and the tensor was divided into sub-tensors according to the spreading gain.The sub-tensors were constructed into the Tucker decomposition model.Secondly,the spreading code fragments and the receiver gain matrixes were obtained from the sub-tensors by Tucker decomposition which was using the variable step gradient descending algorithm.Then,because of the same characteristic of the receiver gain matrixes in each sub-tensor,the permutation matrixes were estimated by using the cross correlation matrixes of the receiver gain matrixes and the order of the spreading code fragments was corrected.Finally,the amplitude of the spreading codes was determined by using the autocorrelation of the spreading codes,and each user’s spreading code was obtained.The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.…”

PSWF signal based continuous phase modulation and its spectrum performance analysis by Dawei YANG, Chuanhui LIU, Jiafang KANG

“…Prolate spheroidal wave function (PSWF) signals are the best energy-gathering signals in the time-frequency domain,here is an exploratory application of PSWF signals to continuous phase modulation technology.Firstly,the process of generating CPM modulated signals based on PSWF signals was described.Secondly,a calculation method for the power spectral density of CPM modulated signals based on PSWF using the autocorrelation function method was given.Finally,combined with numerical calculation and analysis,the power spectral density and signal occupied bandwidth characteristics of minimum frequency shift keying,sinusoidal frequency shift keying,Gaussian filtered minimum shift keying and CPM modulation signal based on Gaussian function were compared.Numerical calculation results show that the PSWF signal can obtain CPM modulation signal with better spectral performance and energy concentration,compared with rectangular pulse,raised cosine pulse,Gaussian pulse and Gauss-like pulse as the baseband frequency modulation signal of CPM.…”
