Spectrum sharing in radar bands with interference forecasting for enhanced protection can help design proactive resource allocation solutions which achieve high data rates wireless communication networks on one hand and protect the incumbent systems. We consider spectrum 5.6GHz where a weather operates as primary system dominant secondary is an enterprise network consisting of access points (AP...

We explore the possibility that a multiple-stage inflationary scenario based on supersymmetric GUT models, can account for the break at kb ≃ 0.05 h Mpc −1 in the power spectrum of galaxy clustering, while it reproduces the angular power spectrum of cosmic microwave background anisotropies.

We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. This is achieved by characterizing and removing the instrumental noise contribution in multipole space. This technique produces unbiased estimates and can be applied to an arbitrary experime...

We apply the Gabor transform methodology proposed in (Hansen et al. 2002, 2003) to the WMAP data in order to test the statistical properties of the CMB fluctuation field and specifically to evaluate the fundamental assumption of cosmological isotropy. In particular, we apply the transform with several apodisation scales, thus allowing the determination of the positional dependence of the angula...

We calculate the angular power spectrum of the galactic synchrotron radiation induced by the small scale fluctuations of the magnetic field and the cosmic ray electron density. Using the observed interstellar magnetic field spectrum, which is consistent with the Komolgorov turbulence model at the relevant scales, we find that Cl ∝ l−3.7. We estimate the cosmic ray electron density fluctuation s...

The majority of gamma-ray emission from Galactic dark matter annihilation is likely to be detected as a contribution to the diffuse gamma-ray background. I show that dark matter substructure in the halo of the Galaxy induces characteristic anisotropies in the diffuse background that could be used to determine the small-scale dark matter distribution. I calculate the angular power spectrum of th...

We propose a formalism for estimating the skewness and angular power spectrum of a general Cosmic Microwave Background data set. We use the Edgeworth Expansion to define a non-Gaussian likelihood function that takes into account the anisotropic nature of the noise and the incompleteness of the sky coverage. The formalism is then applied to estimate the skewness of the publicly available 4 year ...

We discuss the non-Gaussian contribution to the power spectrum covariance of cosmic microwave background ~CMB! anisotropies resulting through weak gravitational lensing angular deflections and the correlation of deflections with secondary sources of temperature fluctuations generated by the large scale structure, such as the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect. This ...

We measure the angular power spectrum Cl of radio galaxies in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) using two independent methods: direct spherical harmonic analysis and maximum likelihood estimation. The results are consistent and can be understood using models for the spatial matter power spectrum and for the redshift distribution of radio galaxies at mJy flux-density levels. A good fit to the angul...
