Optimal Logarithmic Representation in Terms of SNR Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance of the Logarithmic Number System (LNS) representation against the SNR performance of the fixed-point representation. Analytic formulas are presented for the evaluation and the comparison of the two aforementioned representations, and the superiority of the LNS representation is demonstrated. It is shown that the base b of the logarithmic representation has a major impact onto the SNR performance, the SNR dependance on the variations of the standard deviation of the analog signal, and the memory requirements for logarithmic addition and subtraction. In addition, step-by-step procedures are introduced to compute the base b that optimizes all these performance measures.

SNR Maximization at CSI Aware AF Relay
This paper concerns two-hop communication over relay-assisted Block fading channel. It is assumed there is not a direct link between the transmitter and the affiliated destination and the communication occurs in two hops through the use of a relay, where the amplify and forward (AF) strategy is employed at this node. In this case, in a Rayleigh block fading channel, the optimal weight function ...
متن کاملPerformance Testing of Logarithmic Analog- To-digital Converters
Abstract This paper describes test procedures to characterize the behavior of logarithmic analog-to-digital converters. Logarithmic A/D converters are usually characterized in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or in deviation of the ideal characteristic in dB. There are a lack of test methods definition in the literature, as can be observed in the IEEE standard 1241 for these type of convert...

The principle of dimensionality reduction with PCA is the representation of the dataset ‘X’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ RN of its covariance matrix. The eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of X in RN carry the most relevant information of X. These eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. Ass...
