This paper deals with estimating the frequency of sinusoidal signal buried in broad band noise. The simple unbiased indirect frequency estimation (IFE) algorithm is proposed for a second-order adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) notch filter with constrained zeros. The technique of estimating input noise variance is employed to remove the bias existing in the estimated filter parameter. Also...

Aiming at the poor precision problem in phase difference measurements with unknown frequencies engineering practice, a new measurement method is proposed for Coriolis mass flowmeter based on correlation theories. Firstly, signal frequency was estimated by using an adaptive notch filter, which applied to filter waves and determined integer period of sampling signals, non-integer signals needed b...

This paper addresses the challenge of respiration harmonics cancellation in microwave Doppler radar cardiopulmonary sensing. A new signal processor based on adaptive noise cancellation is proposed. When the heartbeat signal is easily overwhelmed by the respiration harmonics, the traditional band-pass filters are used to separate heartbeat signal from the respiration signal, then the LMS-based m...

This paper presents a method for focusing a moving target in single channel SAR data utilizing a novel technique for range migration correction. The First Order Keystone transform is first applied to remove the range-walk of the moving target signature. A search procedure based on maximizing a contrast cost function is then employed to determine the phase correction which compensates for the re...

This brief is concerned with the two-dimensional (2-D) digital notch filter design problem. First, the outer product expansion is used to reduce the 2-D notch filter design problem to two pairs of one-dimensional (1-D) filter design problems. Then, we develop a simple algebraic method for the design of two pairs of 1-D IIR filter design. This approach not only has closed form transfer function ...

Actigraphy has been widely used for the analysis of circadian rhythm. Current practice applies regression analysis to data from multiple days to estimate the circadian phase. This paper presents a filtering method for online processing of biometric data to estimate the circadian phase. We apply the proposed method on actigraphy data of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster).

one of the common problems in reflection seismic records in the land is the existence of surface waves with high amplitude and low frequency which cause the most important parts of reflective signals to be masked. therefore, it is necessary to attenuate them by processing and acquisition methods. as it is impossible to attenuate the surface waves completely, and sometimes it is likely to damage...

An algorithm for detection and cancellation of sidetone oscillations in mobile phones is presented. The sidetone signal is represented by a 4 order LPC polynomial, whose root structure is analysed by a computationally efficient twostage approach. In difference to LMS based adaptive filters this approach offers a fast and reliable detection of evolving oscillations. A notch filter with small ban...
