This paper proposes the use of the Hartley Phase Cepstrum as a tool for signal analysis. The phase of a signal conveys critical information, which is exploited in a variety of applications. The role of phase is particularly important for the case of speech or audio signals. Accurate phase information extraction is a prerequisite for speech applications such as coding, synchronization, synthesis...

The discrete Hartley transfom(DHT) is a real-valued tratufom closely related to the discrete Fourier transform (OFT) of a real-valued sequence. It directly maps a rea[-valued sequence to a real-valuedspectrum while preserving some usefulproperties of the Dkcrete Fourier Transfom. In such case, the Discrete Hartley transform can act as an altemative form to the Fourier Tradorm for avoiding compl...

The present invention is embodied in a charge coupled device (CCD)/charge injection device (CID) architecture capable of performing a Fourier transform by simultaneous matrix vector multiplication (MVM) operations in respective plural CCDICID arrays in parallel in 0(1) steps. For example, in one embodiment, a first CCDICID array stores charge packets representing a first matrix operator based u...

This paper presents the simulation of 4 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) baseband system and channel estimation which uses inverse discrete Hartley transform (IDHT) and discrete Hartley transform (DHT). As the calculation of DHT and IDHT involves real operations hence the computational complexities are less as compared to DFT and IDFT. More...

30 to 40% of Hartley strain guinea pigs have previously been demonstrated to possess a dominant autosomal gene which enables them to recognize the antigenicity of hapten-poly-L-lysine conjugates as expressed by the development of both antihapten antibodies and delayed hypersensitivity to the immunizing antigen. In the present study, it was shown that PLL alone was weakly antigenic in such genet...

In this paper, the k-trigonometric functions over the Galois Field GF(q) are introduced and their main properties derived. This leads to the definition of the cask(.) function over GF(q), which in turn leads to a finite field Hartley Transform . The main properties of this new discrete transform are presented and areas for possible applications are mentioned.

Feature vector generation is an important step in biometric authentication. Biometric traits such as fingerprint, finger-knuckle prints, palmprint, and iris are rich in texture. This texture is unique and the feature vector extraction algorithm should correctly represent the texture pattern. In this paper a texture feature extraction methodology is proposed for these biometric traits. This meth...

A class ξ of algebras of symmetric n × n matrices, related to Toeplitz-plus-Hankel structures and including the well-known algebra H diagonalized by the Hartley transform, is investigated. The algebras of ξ are then exploited in a general displacement decomposition of an arbitrary n× n matrix A. Any algebra of ξ is a 1-space, i.e., it is spanned by n matrices having as first rows the vectors of...

In the information theory community, the following “historical” statements are generally well accepted: (1) Hartley did put forth his rule twenty years before Shannon; (2) Shannon’s formula as a fundamental tradeoff between transmission rate, bandwidth, and signal-to-noise ratio came out unexpected in 1948; (3) Hartley’s rule is inexact while Shannon’s formula is characteristic of the additive ...

A number of studies have suggested that attentional control skills required to perform 2 tasks concurrently become impaired with age (A. A. Hartley, 1992; J. M. McDowd & R. J. Shaw, 2000). A. A. Hartley (2001) recently observed that the age-related differences in dual-task performance were larger when the 2 tasks required similar motor responses. The present study examined the extent to which a...
