In direct spread CDMA systems, codebooks meeting the Welch bounds are used to distinguish among the signals of different users. Recently, constructions of codebooks with difference sets meeting Welch’s bound on the maximum cross-correlation amplitude were developed. In this paper, a generic construction of codebooks using almost difference sets is considered and several classes of codebooks nea...

objective(s): reliability measures precision or the extent to which test results can be replicated. this is the first ever systematic review to identify statistical methods used to measure reliability of equipment measuring continuous variables. this studyalso aims to highlight the inappropriate statistical method used in the reliability analysis and its implication in the medical practice.   m...

Previous research has found autocorrelation domain as an appropriate domain for signal and noise separation. This paper discusses a simple and effective method for decreasing the effect of noise on the autocorrelation of the clean signal. This could later be used in extracting mel cepstral parameters for speech recognition. Two different methods are proposed to deal with the effect of error int...
