To evaluate the quality of denoised SAR images, this paper discusses some performance parameters, and proposes a grey-theory-based method. The main idea of the method is to extract some comparative sequences and a reference sequence, respectively standing for quality of the denoised SAR images and the noise-free image, after all the denoised images involved are concerned. And then, an overall performance...
The bugbear of model checking is the explosion in the number of states as the number of processes increases. Industrial-sized problems are often intractable for model checkers. We modify the most popular model checker in use today, SPIN, by replacing its internal verification search engine by a guided, random-walk based simulator. The resulting tool is called RANSPIN. The guiding mechanism used in...
In this paper, we propose a robust STBC transmission scheme to combat the timing synchronization errors over frequency-selective multiple-access channels. First, the equivalent channel model in the presence of timing synchronization errors is derived and we find that the synchronization errors result in an equivalent channel model with larger number of correlated channel taps. Based on this correlated...
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach that exploits retransmission diversity in wireless CDMA communications. Conventionally, data packets that are not correctly detected are usually dropped. These dropped packets can be used to help data packet detection. By exploiting all the retransmitted packets, data packets can be correctly detected with higher probability. The proposed...
The major limitations of microstrip antennas (MSAs) are their narrow impedance bandwidth, small gain and low power handling capability. A half U-slot MSA with shorting wall has been designed and experimentally verified. Its center frequency is observed at 2.66 GHz. The bandwidth is 688 MHz and percentage bandwidth is 25.6% has been obtained while radiation efficiency is above 94% for the operating...
This paper identifies three distinct types of losses associated with high dielectric materials in a rf electric field, specifically in a rectangular TE102 microwave cavity. Various orientations of high dielectric structures relative to the electric field polarization have been studied using ansoft high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) (version 9.0, Pittsburgh, PA) and Computer Simulation Technology...
Upper and lower bounds are proved for the shared space requirements for solution of several problems involving resource allocation among asynchronous processes. Controlling the degradation of performance when a limited number of processes fail is of particular interest.
