Low complexity radar signal classification based on spectrum shape by Liang YIN, Rui LIN, Xiaolei WANG, Yuliang YAO, Lin ZHOU, Yuan HE

“…In order to solve the problems of high computational complexity, low recognition accuracy of low signal to noise ratio (SNR) environment and low fidelity of simulation data in radar signal modulation recognition, a low complexity radar signal classification algorithm based on spectrum shape was proposed.Signal spectrum was normalized, feature parameters were extracted by spectrum sampling method, and then machine learning classification model was trained.The test results of the data generated by the radar signal source show that the classification accuracy of Barker code, Frank code, LFM code, BPSK, QPSK modulation and conventional radar signals is more than 90% (SNR≥3 dB).The algorithm has low computational complexity, can adapt to the change of signal parameters, and has good generalization.…”

Total protein content in samples of dry red wine from various manufacturers for quality and authenticity control by Gasanova Dariya, Yang Jun-Lin, Chen Xiao-Yi, Smirnov Sergey, Levashov Pavel

“…Wine quality control is performed, which is based on spectrophotometric determination of total protein content with use of Coomassie G-250 dye, combined with analysis of optical absorbance spectra of wine samples. This approach is characterized by simplicity of procedure, rapidity and high availability of reagents and equipment, and all this makes it applicable for quality control of wine by practically any laboratory, and for visual qualitative analysis in field and home conditions. 10 samples of dry red grape wine are analyzed, and total protein content varies by no more than 35% from the average value among all samples, which is 248 μg/mL. …”
