Radio communication systems of the future will require a large increase in user capacity. To achieve this, cell sizes will reduce and the number of base stations will increase. Current base station architectures use analogue combining techniques which are expensive, voluminous and inflexible. This thesis investigates a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) solution which produces a cheaper, smaller a...

A new method and instrumentation are described for rapid compositional analysis of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples. The customized optical system uses multiple fixed-wavelength lasers to excite NIR fluorescence from SWCNTs individualized in aqueous suspensions. The emission spectra are efficiently captured by a NIR spectrometer with InGaAs multichannel detector and then analyzed b...

In this paper, we study the multichannel exposed terminal problem in multihop wireless networks. We propose a multichannel medium access control (MAC) protocol, called multichannel MAC protocol with hopping reservation (MMAC-HR), to resolve the multichannel exposed terminal problem. MMAC-HR uses two radio interfaces; one interface is fixed over the control channel, and the other interface switc...

This paper introduces the design of multichannel acquisition circuit based on FPGA which samples and records the Doppler signals, ignition signal and the working condition of fuze security enforcement agencies of missile fuze in real-time in the test of high speed dynamic intersection. Furthermore, for the problem of increasing number of sample channel which causes the complexity of the multipl...

Multichannel blind deconvolution has received increasing attention during the last decade. Recently, Martone [3, 4] extended the super-exponential method proposed by Shalvi and Weinstein [1, 2] for single-channel blind deconvolution to multichannel blind deconvolution. However, the Martone extension suffers from two type of serious drawbacks. The objective of this paper is to obviate these draw...

In this paper, multichannel image "ltering using local gradient information is studied and evaluated which is simpler and more appropriate than the traditional approaches that have been addressed by means of groupwise vector ordering information. Two adaptive weighted multichannel "lters based on local gradient information to noise removal in color images are introduced. The "rst proposed multi...
