In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...

The ideas of instantaneous amplitude and phase are well understood for signals with real-valued samples, based on the analytic signal which is a complex signal with one-sided Fourier transform. We extend these ideas to signals with complex-valued samples, using a quaternion-valued equivalent of the analytic signal obtained from a one-sided quaternion Fourier transform which we refer to as the h...

   In this paper, a kind of core–shell magnetic mesoporous microspheres of Fe3O4@SiO2@meso-SiO2 with high surface areawas prepared, where magnetic Fe3O4 nanospheres were used as the inner core, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source, and cetyltrimethylamonium bromide (CTAB) as pore forming agent. Methanol-enhanced s...

Abstract The accuracy of the interpolation method for identification of nonlinear dynamical systems based on the Volterra model in the frequency domain is studied. To highlight the n–th partial component in the response of the system to the test signal the n–th partial derivative of the response using the test signal amplitude is found and its value is taken at zero. The polyharmonic signals ar...

The estimation of the local phase and local amplitude of 1-D signals can be realized by the construction of the analytic signal. This includes the evaluation of the signal’s Hilbert transform, which performs a phase shift. In the past, different definitions of the analytic signal of multidimensional signals have been proposed, all of which are based on different combinations of partial and tota...

Background: Evidences show that parental morphine addiction impairs CNS development, learning and memory in offsprings. Since long term potentiation (LTP) is a cellular mechanism of learning and memory, in this study the effect of parental morphine addiction on LTP induction in dentate gyrus by high frequency stimulation of perforant path was assessed. Materials and methods: In this experiment...

BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue can be defined as the failure of a muscle to maintain a reasonably expected force output. The multivariate approach to fatigue assessment is used because the multiple (EMG) feature provides more information than anyone. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method of assessing muscle fatigue during endurance testing at 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using electro...
