The relative error-probability performance of three linear multiuser detectors—the minimum mean-square error detector, the decorrelator, and the conventional matched filter (MF) detector—is investigated under nonorthogonal signaling and additive white Gaussian noise conditions. It is shown that, contrary to the general belief, the minimum meansquare-error (MMSE) detector does not uniformly outp...

In this paper, an overlapped Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) named as Fast-OFDM system and an overlapping multi-carrier direct-sequence code division multiple access (MC-DS-CDMA) scheme are introduced. The effect of the overlapping between sub-carriers, of Fast-OFDM and MC-CDMA with binary phase shift keying (BPSK), on the performance in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)...

We address the problem of matched filter and subspace detection in the presence of arbitrary noise and interference or interfering signals that may lie in an arbitrary unknown subspace of the measurement space. A minmax methodology developed to deal with this uncertainty can also be adapted to situations where partial information on the interference or other uncertainties is available. This met...

We compare single user digital multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) modulation with direct sequence (DS) SS (with a modified implementation) in the presence of narrowband interference (NBI) and multipath fading. We derive closed-form expressions for the symbol error probability for both the linear MMSE receiver as well as the conventional matched-filter receiver under different scenarios: addi...

Detection techniques based on the absence of any knowledge of the received carrier phase are referred to as non-coherent detection techniques. The optimum receiver under such a scenario is well known to be a structure that incorporates a form of square-law detection. This demodulation through M matched filters, where each one corresponds to the transmitted base band signals, the decision variab...

This paper presents a new denoising method for base-band communication signals corrupted by additive noise. The novelty of this paper is the use of a special MAP filter, called composed bishrink, for communication purposes. A complete statistical analysis of this filter is reported. Some simulations are presented. The results obtained are compared with the results of matched filtering technique...

the mel frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. in this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in automatic speech recognition (asr) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of mfcc vector estimated through following steps. first, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...

background: butterworth, gaussian, hamming, hanning, and parzen are commonly used spect filters during filtered back-projection (fbp) reconstruction, which greatly affect the quality and size accuracy of image. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom in which 1.10 cm thick cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc conc...

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a nonlinear extension to the matched filter for signal detection in certain kinds of non-Gaussian noise. The decision statistic is based on a new measure of similarity that can be considered as an extension of the correlation statistic used in the matched filter. The optimality of the matched filter is predicated on second order statistics and hence ...
