Blind separation of piecewise stationary non-Gaussian sources

We address independent component analysis (ICA) of piecewise stationary and non-Gaussian signals and propose a novel ICA algorithm called Block EFICA that is based on this generalized model of signals. The method is a further extension of the popular non-Gaussianity-based FastICA algorithm and of its recently optimized variant called EFICA. In contrast to these methods, Block EFICA is developed to effectively exploit varying distribution of signals, thus, also their varying variance in time (nonstationarity) or, more precisely, in time-intervals (piecewise stationarity). In theory, the accuracy of the method asymptotically approaches Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) under common assumptions when variance of the signals is constant. On the other hand, the performance is practically close to the CRLB even when variance of the signals is changing. This is demonstrated by comparing our algorithm with various methods that are asymptotically efficient within ICA models based either on the non-Gaussianity or the nonstationarity. The benefit of our algorithm is demonstrated by examples with real-world audio signals.

传输线的不连续问题已成为当今高速数字设计研究的重点,尤其是高速多层板中的过孔结构。随着频率的增长和信号上升沿的变陡,过孔带来的阻抗不连续会引起信号的反射,严重影响系统的性能和信号完整性。文章运用全波电磁仿真软件HFSS,对多种过孔结构进行了全面的研究。通过建立三维物理模型,分析了过孔直径、过孔长度和多余的过孔短柱几种关键设计参数对高速电路的信号完整性的影响。     

Integrability of the discretization of the controlled Euler Top

The Euler equations with two controls are discretized by using the bilinear transformation method. The discrete equations are explicit and exhibit a sufficient number of conserved quantities for integrability. The explicit solution to the discrete controlled Euler top are deduced in terms of elliptic functions.     

Mathematical background for a method on quotient signal decomposition

The blind source separation problem is discussed in this article. Focusing on the assumption of independency of the sources in the time-frequency domain, we present a mathematical formulation for the estimation problem of the number of sources. The proposed method uses the quotient of complex valued time-frequency information of only two observed signals to detect the number of sources. No fewer number of observed signals than the detected number of sources is needed to separate sources. The assumption on sources is quite general independence in the time-frequency plane, which is different from that of independent component analysis. We propose algorithms with feedback and give numerical simulations to show the method works well even for noisy case.     

ADAPTIVE STEP－SIZE CONSTANT MODULUS ALGORITHM FOR BLIND MULTIUSER DETECTION IN DS－CDMA SYSTEMS

Blind Adaptive Step-size Constant Modulus Algorithm (AS-CMA) for multiuser detection in DS-CDMA systems is presented.It combines the CMA and the concept of variable step-size,uses a second LMS algorithm for the step size.It adjusts the step-size according to the minimum output-energy principle within a specified range,thus overcomes the problems of bad effect of fixed step-size LMS algorithm.Compared with Adaptive Step-size LMS (AS-LMS) algorithm,through simulations,this algorithm can adapt the changes of the environment,suppress multiple access interference in the dynamic environment and the stability of Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) is superior to that of AS-LMS.     

基于置乱和SCS技术的数字音频多重水印算法

基于置乱变换以及DWT（离散小波变换）和DCT（离散余弦变换）相结合的SCS（Scalar Costa Scheme）技术,提出一种可同时标识多个版权所有者（如不同的创作者、发行者或使用者等）的数字音频多重水印算法。该算法具有以下特点：（1）系统透明性良好,嵌入多个水印的音频文件没有人耳可察觉的听觉质量下降。（2）对噪声、低通滤波等常见信号攻击及恶意替换操作均表现出很强的鲁棒性。（3）后续嵌入水印时不需知道前次水印的嵌入位置。每个水印的嵌入位置只依赖于私人密钥,与算法无关。非法用户由于没有密钥,无法正确提取水印图像。（4）水印提取时不需提供原始音频载体和原始水印图像。（5）可以辨别水印嵌入的先后顺序,从而证明版权的唯一性。
