| This paper proposes modiications to the Kalman lter-based multiuser code-division multiple-access (CDMA) detector of 1] based on the normalised least mean square (NLMS) lter, the motivation being complexity reduction. The variable step size and information reuse concepts are investigated. The proposed detectors are compared with the conventional and Kalman lter detector in terms of complexity...

We have recently built and characterized the performance of a monolithic scintillator detector based on a 32 mm  ×  32 mm  ×  22 mm LYSO:Ce crystal read out by digital silicon photomultiplier (dSiPM) arrays coupled to the crystal front and back surfaces in a dual-sided readout (DSR) configuration. The detector spatial resolution appeared to be markedly better than that of a detector consisting ...

The CLEO III detector has recently commenced data taking at the Cornell electron Storage Ring (CESR). One important component of this detector is a 4 layer doublesided silicon tracker with 93% solid angle coverage. This detector ranges in size and number of readout channels between the LEP and LHC silicon detectors. In order to reach the detector performance goals of signal-to-noise ratios grea...

In this work we provide equations to precisely calculate the asymptotic weighting of multistage detectors satisfying the individually and jointly LMMSE criteria in the projection subspace for scenarios with unequal powers. Additionally, a general expression of the SINR achievable at the filter output as system size grows large is derived. Such equation can be applied to any multistage detector....

The mouse cerebral cortex was imaged in situ by photoacoustic tomography (PAT). Instead of a flat ultrasonic transducer, a virtual point detector based on a high numerical aperture (NA), positively focused transducer was used. This virtual point detector has a wide omnidirectional acceptance angle, a high sensitivity, and a negligible aperture effect. In addition, the virtual point detector can...
