Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are highly sensitive to synchronization errors. We introduce an algorithm for the blind estimation of symbol timing and carrier frequency offset in wireless OFDM systems. We consider the problem of blind symbol timing (ST) estimation for pulse-shaping orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on offset quadrature am...

The response of a neuron to repeated somatic fluctuating current injections in vitro can elicit a reliable and precisely timed sequence of action potentials. The set of responses obtained across trials can also be interpreted as the response of an ensemble of similar neurons receiving the same input, with the precise spike times representing synchronous volleys that would be effective in drivin...

avo theory was introduced around 20 years ago. in recent years, this technique was become to a major tool in hydrocarbon sources exploration. by the help of this method with the suitable understanding from underground layers and knowing how to use this technology, quantitative specifications of reservoir can be recognized. avo analysis is a seismic technique that by using of pre-stack data, est...

contrary to president obama’s stated position in november 2009, it is presumed here that the islamic republic intentionally procrastinates normalization of its foreign policy towards the u.s. this intentional delay is due to mutual mistrust existing between the two states. nonetheless, the islamic republic is determined to avoid further confrontation with the u.s. in this respect, the islamic r...

Monomineralic, abiotic marine cements formed in low-latitude Phanerozoic reefs provide the direction and amplitude of secular variation of õ•3C and õ•80 in marine calcite and defines two end member compositions580 to 360 my (-7 to-5 %0 õ•8Om)B) and 360 to present (-3 to 0 %0 õ•8Om)B). Sampling of the Devono-Carboniferous tran ition (375-320 my) at several global sites reveals a rapid change in ...

Noncoherent sequence detection algorithms, recently proposed by the authors, have a performance which approaches that of coherent detectors and are robust to phase and frequency instabilities. These schemes exhibit a negligible performance loss in the presence of a frequency offset, provided this offset does not exceed an order of 1% of the signaling frequency. For higher values, the performanc...

In this paper we compare the performance of OFDM with a cyclic prefix (CP) and isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) OFDM without cyclic prefix under typical system imperfections such as channel estimation errors and frequency offset. The IOTA-OFDM system is based on offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) and promises an increased immunity to both inter-carrier interference (IC...

The superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON) is a prominent periolivary cell group of the superior olivary complex. SPON neurons use gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as their neurotransmitter and are contacted by large numbers of glycinergic and GABAergic punctate profiles, representing a dense inhibitory innervation from the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) and from collaterals of SPON axo...

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) systems to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and timing offset. Although the emphasis of the paper is on the class of FBMC systems that are based on offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM), the developed results are found applicable to cosine modulated-based FBMC systems as well. We assume that coarse CFO and timin...
