Adaptive sampling schemes with multiple sampling rates have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of methods for signal analysis. For example, in the case of equipment which transmits data continuously, multi-rate methods can reduce the cost of transmission. For equipment which transmits data only periodically they can reduce the costs of both storage and trans...

Biomedical signals carry important information about the behaviour of the living systems under study. A proper processing of these signals in principle enhances their physiological and clinical information. Analysis of variations in the instantaneous heart rate time series using the beat to-beat RR intervals (the RR tachogram) is known as heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Sample entropy (S...

Multi-resolution ESPRIT is an extension of the ESPRIT direction nding algorithm to antenna arrays with multiple baselines. A short (half wavelength) baseline is necessary to avoid aliasing, a long baseline is preferred for accuracy. The MR-ESPRIT algorithm allows to combine both estimates. The same algorithm can be used for multi-resolution frequency estimation, by combining two diierent sampli...

We consider analog to digital (A/D) conversion, based on the quantization of coefficients obtained via the projection of a continuous time signal over a set of basis functions. The framework presented here for A/D conversion is motivated by the sampling of an input signal in domains which may lead to significantly less demanding A/D conversion characteristics, i.e., lower sampling rates and low...

In this paper, an Adaptive Median Constant False Alarm Rate (AMCFAR) and multi−frame post detection integration algorithm is proposed for effective real time automatic target detection of boat−generated acoustic signals, in which, an observation space is created by sampling and dividing input analog acoustic signal into multiple frames and each frame is transformed into the frequency domain. In...

Background: This study aimed to assess the relationship between meal frequency with mental distress and violent behavior among a nationally representative sample of Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: The participants of this national study were 14,880 Iranian students with 6 to 18 years of age. They were selected from urban and rural regions of Iran by multi-stage cluster ...

Sampling requirements for nonlinear systems with a bandpass input are developed in this paper. It is well known that the output of a nonlinear system may have a larger bandwidth than that of the input. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the sampling rate needs to be at least twice the maximum frequency of the output to avoid aliasing. However, if the input is a bandpass signal, the spec...

This paper proposes a novel ultra high frequency (UHF) radar system for river dynamics parameters monitoring. As compared with conventional radar system: (1) Intermediate frequency (IF) sampling mode of traditional superheterodyne receivers is replaced by the direct radio frequency (RF) band-pass sampling and orthogonal demodulation (2) Multi-channel antenna system is divided into two units, wh...

In this paper, we have presented the effect of varying time-delays on performance and stability in the single-channel multirate sampled-data system in hard real-time (RT-Linux) environment. The sampling task require response time that might exceed the capacity of RT-Linux. So a straight implementation with RT-Linux is not feasible, because of the latency of the systems and hence, sampling perio...
