one of the problems in the ground-based circular synthetic aperture radar is the dependence of the azimuth resolution to the antenna rotation radius and operational limitation of increasing it. to enhance the image quality in azimuth, model-based image formation through three methods: matched filter, inverse filter and optimum filter is suggested and analyzed. for the purpose of comparison, thr...

The matrix converter instability can cause a substantial distortion in the input currents and voltages which leads to the malfunction of the converter. This paper deals with the effects of input filter type, grid inductance, voltage fed to the modulation algorithm and the synchronous rotating digital filter time constant on the stability and performance of the matrix converter. The studies are ...

This paper presents a modified digital image watermarking method based on nonnegative matrix factorization. Firstly, host image is factorized to the product of three nonnegative matrices. Then, the centric matrix is transferred to discrete cosine transform domain. Watermark is embedded in low frequency band of this matrix and next, the reverse of the transform is computed. Finally, watermarked ...

Two matrix equations, Pascal matrix equation and inverse Pascal matrix, are derived and demonstrated in this work. These matrix equations are used for making a conversion and inversion between the coefficients of an analog low pass filter transfer function H(s) and a digital transfer function H(z). The involving of the Pascal’s triangle in both matrix equations is helpful, easier to transform b...

Abstract—Frequency transformation with Pascal matrix equations is a method for transforming an electronic filter (analogue or digital) into another filter. The technique is based on frequency transformation in the s-domain, bilinear z-transform with pre-warping frequency, inverse bilinear transformation and a very useful application of the Pascal’s triangle that simplifies computing and enables...

Using a non-uniformly distributed aperture radar system for forming a SAR image will result in data correlations between the SAR image resolution cells. Thus, this requires that a more robust filter than the Matched Filter, i.e. the MMSE or Wiener Filter to be used in the receiver processing. As the Wiener Filter involves a computationally expensive matrix inverse operation, it can be avoided b...

to assess the microbiological status of a biofiltration system used to treat borehole water, filtermatrix samples were analyzed after staining for the presence of active biofilms using confocal laser scanningmicroscopy (clsm). clsm revealed the presence of biofilms on the filter matrix with actively metabolizingmicrobial cells present. thereafter, heterotrophs,manganese oxidizing bacteria (mob)...
