, Article IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing Proceedings, 28 June 2011 through 30 June 2011, Nice ; June , 2011 , Pages 709-712 ; 9781457705700 (ISBN) ; Babaie Zadeh, M ; Samadi, S ; Jutten, C ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This paper deals with blind separation of finite alphabet sources where we have n sources and only one observation. The method is applied directly in time (spatial) domain and no transformation is needed. It follows a two stage procedure. In the first stage the mixing coefficients are estimated, and in the second stage the sources are separated using the estimated mixing coefficients. We also study restrictions of this method and conditions for which its performance is acceptable. Simulation results are presented to show the ability of this method to source separation in images and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signals
Simply decoded efficient full-rate space-time block codes over correlated Rician fading channels
, Article IET Communications ; Volume 8, Issue 10 , 3 July 2014 , Pages 1684-1695 ; Pilaram, H ; Mohammadi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A novel technique is presented to design efficient full-rate space-time block codes (STBCs) over correlated Rician fading channels. The authors first derive a formula for the achievable information rate of a linear dispersion coded multi-input single-output system as a function of correlation at the transmitter in a Rician fading channel. In addition, the authors obtain the bit-error-rate (BER) equations for this system, when multiple phase shift keying and multiple quadrature amplitude modulation schemes are used at the transmitter. Therefore with regard to derived formulae and using a genetic algorithm, a method is presented to construct STBCs over correlated Rician fading channels. The...
An analytical approach in analysis of local oscillator near-the-carrier AM noise suppression in microwave balanced mixers
, Article IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques ; Volume 57, Issue 4 , 2009 , Pages 760-766 ; 00189480 (ISSN) ; Banai, A ; Farzaneh, F ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this paper, a new formulation based on conversion matrix method is proposed to analyze near-the-carrier local ocillator (LO) noise down conversion to IF in microwave mixers. This method could be easily applied to analyze LO noise down conversion in any type of mixer. Practical results of this method have been compared with the envelope method and measurement results. It is shown that despite the conventional AM noise suppression in balanced mixers, the near-the-carrier LO noise suppression does not occur necessarily at the center frequency of hybrid in balanced mixers. AM noise suppression values are predicted precisely. © 2006 IEEE

Abstract
Wireless broadband access has gained so much attention in recent years. IEEE 802.16d as a standard in this field has provided MAC layer and PHY layer specifications. It has adopted OFDM method for one of PHY specifications that uses 256 subcarriers. In this paper we verify the effects of subchannelization option in uplink, on bit error rates in 16QAM modulation. Simulation results show that considerable improvement is obtained using half of the subcarriers

Abstract
Time domain equalizers are used in the receiver of a discrete multitone (DMT) receiver to compensate the channel effects on the received signal. There are a lot of DMT equalization algorithms presented in the literature, but recently a novel Per Tone equalizer structure was proposed which offers some advantages over the previous traditional ones. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the important concepts of this technique and evaluate its initialization complexity. The performance of this technique is also compared with typical time-domain equalization algorithms in different simulation environments. © 2004IEEE

Abstract
Discrete multitone (DMT) modulation is used for the efficient transmission of data over nonideal channels. By nonideal channel, we mean that the channel with the frequency response is not flat. Also the noise is present in this kind of channel. In recent years, optimization of filter banks for the DMT systems is considered. Recent researches focused on the orthonormal filter banks have shown that the principal component filter bank (PCFB) is optimal for this application. We focus on one class of biorthogonal filter banks and find the optimum solution for this class. We also have shown that the performance of this structure is better than the optimum orthonormal filter bank. © 2003 IEEE
Equivalence of the Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals and the scaled binomially windowed shifted sinc function
, Article Digital Signal Processing: A Review Journal ; Volume 19, Issue 5 , 2009 , Pages 838-842 ; 10512004 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2009
Abstract
The maximally flat (MF) fractional delay (FD) filter which is in fact a Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals, has previously been shown to be equal to the scaled binomially windowed shifted version of the sinc function; the ideal interpolation kernel for band-limited signals. In this paper, another proof for this equivalence is presented. Unlike its counterparts available in the literature, the proof given here is neither strictly algebraic, nor deploys the explicit coefficient formulas of the MFFD filter. It follows a frequency domain approach based on the definition of this filter instead, and aims to provide more insight into the corresponding equivalence. © 2009 Elsevier...

Abstract
This paper is devoted to the analysis of nonlinear behavior of amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) modes of atomic force microscopy. For this, the microcantilever (which forms the basis for the operation of AFM) is modeled as a single mode approximation and the interaction between the sample and cantilever is derived from a van der Waals potential. Using perturbation methods such as Averaging, and Fourier transform nonlinear equations of motion are analytically solved and the advantageous results are extracted from this nonlinear analysis. The results of the proposed techniques for AM-AFM, clearly depict the existence of two stable and one unstable (saddle) solutions for...

Abstract
In this paper, a new non-linear D/A converter (DAC) is presented. This D/A converter uses neural network to approximate a sine function. It is targeted for direct digital frequency synthesizers in which the phase to sine amplitude conversion is usually performed using a ROM. Utilizing the proposed DAC, the power hungry ROM is removed. A design example is presented and the performance of the DAC is compared to the conventional method. The impact of non-idealities on the performance of the system is also investigated. © 2006 IEEE

Abstract
A novel decoding technique for DFT-based error control codes that is robust against quantisation noise and additive white Gaussian noise is proposed. The algorithm simultaneously determines the number and the positions of the corrupted samples. In contrast to the conventional decoding technique, the proposed decoding method is stable in the presence of both quantisation noise and additive white Gaussian noise. © IEE, 2005

Abstract
Motivated by the decompositions of sphere and QR-based methods, in this paper we present an extremely fast maximum-likelihood (ML) detection approach for quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QOSTBC). The proposed algorithm with a relatively simple design exploits structure of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations to achieve its goal and can be extended to any arbitrary constellation. Our decoder utilizes a new decomposition technique for ML metric which divides the metric into independent positive parts and a positive interference part. Search spaces of symbols are substantially reduced by employing the independent parts and statistics of noise. Symbols within the search...

Abstract
Frequency response behavior of microcantilever is analytically and experimentally investigated in amplitude modulation Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). AFM microcantilever probe is modeled as a continuous beam, and tip-sample interaction force is considered to include both attractive and repulsive force regimes. The developed model is compared with the linear lumped-parameters model that has been extensively used in the literature so far. Experimental measurements are also provided for the frequency response of a typical microcantilever-sample system to demonstrate the advantages of the developed model over the linear formulation. The results indicate that the nonlinear continuous model is...

Abstract
In this era of digital communication systems, different factors are included in efficiency of a transceiver system. Binary PAM systems are one of these transceiver systems. Many aspects of such a system has been considered yet but this field needs more research on because this is the base of any communication system. In this paper, effects of transmitter and receiver filters, noise, duty-cycle and time mismatch between transmitter and receiver in a binary baseband PAM transceiver system is analyzed. Simulation is performed to analyze the above effects on a typical communication system with 10 bits of transmit. MATLAB software is being employed for simulations

Abstract
Models capable of accurate simulation of microcantilever dynamics coupled with complex tip-sample interactions are essential for interpretation and prediction of the imaging results in amplitude modulation or tapping-mode atomic-force microscopy (AM-AFM or TM-AFM). In this paper, four approaches based on combinations of lumped and finite element methods for modelling of cantilever dynamics, and van derWaals and molecular dynamics for modelling of tip-sample interactions, are used to simulate the precise imaging by AM-AFM. Based on the simulated imaging and force determination, the efficiency of different modelling schemes is evaluated. This comparison is performed considering their...
A frequency domain proof for the equivalence of the maximally flat FIR fractional delay filter and the Lagrange interpolator
, Article Digital Signal Processing: A Review Journal ; Volume 21, Issue 1 , 2011 , Pages 13-16 ; 10512004 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
One of the most important properties of the maximally flat (MF) FIR fractional delay (FD) filter is its equivalence with the Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals. In this article, to provide the required background for the reader, we first propose a straightforward algebraic proof for this equivalence. This proof is given by simply demonstrating that the system of linear equations governing the maximally flatness property of this filter is the same as the one from which the coefficients of the Lagrange interpolator are computed. We then present the main contribution of the paper, which is a frequency domain proof for the same equivalence. In contrast with its classic...

Abstract
In this research the performance of a U-shaped pulsating heat pipe (PHP) was investigated using numerical methods. This heat pipe consists of two sections: The evaporator is set at the two ends of the pipe, and the middle part of the pipe comprises the condenser section. This heat pipe is a type of open looped pulsating heat pipe. The governing equations are derived analytically from the continuity, momentum, and energy equations and are solved implicitly. In this model, considering the liquid mesh, the rate of convection and boiling heat transfer in the U-shaped PHP, which has not been investigated as of yet, are examined. The effect of the evaporator temperature on the pulse amplitude and...
