A class of fourth-order partial differential equations (PDEs) are proposed to optimize the trade-off between noise removal and edge preservation. The time evolution these PDEs seeks minimize a cost functional which is an increasing function absolute value Laplacian image intensity function. Since at pixel zero if planar in its neighborhood, attempt remove preserve edges by approximating observed with piecewise image. Piecewise images look more natural than step anisotropic diffusion (second...

A class of focussing matrices is proposed for use in the coherent signal-subspace method (CSM) (H. Wang and M. Kaveh, ibid., vol.ASSP-33, Aug. 1985). When directions-of-arrival wideband sources fall into more than one group beamwidth each, this leads to performance substantially better those suggested previous studies on direction-of-arrival estimation. New insight structures various their effect CSM presented. The compared several classes these simulations as well relative sufficiency...
One of the main assumptions in Clarke's classic channel model is isotropic scattering, i.e., uniform distribution for angle arrival (AOA) multipath components at mobile station. However, many radio channels we encounter nonisotropic which strongly affects correlation function and power spectrum complex envelope receiver. We propose use versatile von Mises (1918) angular distribution, includes and/or closely approximates important distributions like uniform, impulse, cardioid, Gaussian,...

We study the statistical performance of two moment-based estimators for K parameter Rice fading distribution, as less complex alternatives to maximum-likelihood estimator. Our asymptotic analysis reveals that both are nearly asymptotically efficient, and there is a compromise between computational simplicity efficiency these estimators. also show, by Monte Carlo simulation, correlation among envelope samples deteriorates However, simpler estimator, which employs second fourth moments signal...

Shadow fading causes random fluctuations of the envelope mean at mobile. The lognormal distribution is widely accepted for this phenomenon. In paper we argue that, based on theoretical results and measured data, gamma does job as well. Then show that by using in contrast with use distribution, can obtain easy-to-use closed-form composite PDFs channels, which turn extremely simplify analytic calculations.
