Estimation Of Time-Varying Correlation Functions, G. R. Cooper, Helmut Berndt Mar 1963

Estimation Of Time-Varying Correlation Functions, G. R. Cooper, Helmut Berndt

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The need for estimating the auto- or crosscorrelation functions of nonstationary random processes frequently arises in communication and self-adaptive systems. In most situations only one sample function can he observed over finite time. It is the purpose of this work to establish a firm theoretical basis for such a measurement of time-varying correlation functions, and the emphasis here is on suitable estimation procedures rather than specific measurement techniques. Second order stochastic processes are used as a mathematical model. The minimum mean square error between a weighted time average and the true (ensemble average) correlation function is investigated. This procedure leads …


Advanced Communication Theory Techniques Technical Documentary Report No. Asd-Tdr-63-186, J. C. Hancock, D. G. Lainiotis, J. G. Lindenlaub, Marquart R. G., H Schwarzlander Mar 1963

Advanced Communication Theory Techniques Technical Documentary Report No. Asd-Tdr-63-186, J. C. Hancock, D. G. Lainiotis, J. G. Lindenlaub, Marquart R. G., H Schwarzlander

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Under this contract a number of topics have been studied and analyzed in detail in order to bring together and somewhat extend the concepts of communication theory as they apply to some current problems in digital communication systems. Radio wave channels are characterized by a model' which accounts for both multiplicative and additive disturbances, A large amount of experimental data pertaining to radio disturbances is evaluated and correlated. She. importance of the Rayleigh fading channel is emphasized and previous work is extended to determine the capacity and efficiency of the Rayleigh, channel. Detection theory concepts have been extended to treat …

Correlation Receivers Minimizing Intersymbol Interference, J. C. Hancock, J. M. Aein Jul 1962

Correlation Receivers Minimizing Intersymbol Interference, J. C. Hancock, J. M. Aein

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem considered here is that of binary pulse communication operating in a white noise environment -wherein interfering signal pulses are generated by any of the following causes t (1) A signaling rate larger than channel bandwidths, causing pulse spill over into succeeding bands. (2) Go-channel interference or cross talk on carrier systems. (3) Signal echoes or reflections due to antenna location or mismatch of high frequency components. The optimum correlation receiver is found to be a linear combination of the desired signal pulse plus the interfering pulse. In severe cases significant improvement can be had over a correlation receiver …


Information Efficiency Of Binary Communication Systems (Final Report V.I), J. C. Hancock, E. M. Sheppard May 1962

Information Efficiency Of Binary Communication Systems (Final Report V.I), J. C. Hancock, E. M. Sheppard

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Most of the work which has been done with binary communication systems up until now has assumed operation in a symmetric mode. This work is concerned with the problem of evaluating various combinations of modulation and detection in both symmetric and non-symmetric modes of operation. The most frequently used criterion for describing performance in a binary system is total probability of error, A discussion of this and other criteria such as realizable rate and minimum energy per bit factors is given. A new criterion called information efficiency is defined which is based on realizable information rate on a per symbol …


Binary Communication Systems Using Wideband Signals (Final Report V.Ii), J. C. Hancock, W. D. Wade May 1962

Binary Communication Systems Using Wideband Signals (Final Report V.Ii), J. C. Hancock, W. D. Wade

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

It has been pointed out that communication systems having wideband signal waveforms have certain advantages over the conventional narrowband systems. This report describes the results of a research program which examined in detail the information efficiency of wideband systems. The results presented in this report fall into three major categories: (1) analysis of systems utilizing linear receivers (i.e. synchronous receivers , etc.), (2) analysis of system utilizing non-linear receivers, and (3) analysis and description of methods which can be used for realizing certain optimum and sub-optimum wideband receivers. The development of these topics is based on the geometrical concept of …


A Wideband Adaptive Communication System, J. C. Hancock, W. C. Lindsey May 1962

A Wideband Adaptive Communication System, J. C. Hancock, W. C. Lindsey

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The concept of an open loop Adaptive Communication link is established as one which is capable of monitoring the medium through which it must perform while simultaneously transmitting information and continuously adjusting its modes of operation so as to optimize its performance with respect to a performance criterion chosen a priori. Statistical methods are applied to the adaptive communication problem. Communicating through a random multipath channel with additive noise is considered. The transmitter is specified as one which transmits one of two possible noise-like waveforms which are assumed to be known at the receiver. At any time, it is postulated …


The Variable Gradient Method Of Generating Liapunov Functions With Application To Automatic Control Systems, John E. Gibson, D. G. Schultz Apr 1962

The Variable Gradient Method Of Generating Liapunov Functions With Application To Automatic Control Systems, John E. Gibson, D. G. Schultz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The contribution of this thesis is the introduction and development of the variable gradient method of generating Liapunov functions. A Liapunov function, V, is considered to be generated if the form of V is not known before the generating procedure is applied. Two previous attempts at the generation of Liapunov functions to prove global asymptotic stability for nonlinear autonomous systems have been made. These attempts are summarized and evaluated in some detail, as they form the basis for the variable gradient approach proposed in this thesis. It is assumed that the system whose stability is being investigated is represented by …

Some Useful Coding Techniques For Binary Communication Systems, J. C. Hancock, J. L. Holsinger Jan 1962

Some Useful Coding Techniques For Binary Communication Systems, J. C. Hancock, J. L. Holsinger

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

An introduction to coding theory and a discussion of specific coding techniques are given as applied to digital communication systems. The place of coding in a communication system is illustrated and the various approaches to coding are discussed. The information theory concepts required are presented along with the First and Second Fundamental Theorems of Shannon, The relation between Shannon’s theorems and coding for the noisy and noiseless channel is discussed. For the noiseless channel the techniques of Shannon, Fano, Huffman, Gilbert-More, Karp and others are discussed. For the noisy channel, the techniques of Hamming, Slepian, Elias, Cowell, Bose-Chaudhuri, Reed-Muller, Fire, …


Two Dimensional Signal Representation Using Prolate Spheroidal Functions, G. R. Cooper, D. A. Landgrebe Jan 1962

Two Dimensional Signal Representation Using Prolate Spheroidal Functions, G. R. Cooper, D. A. Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The most widely used methods of signal representation are the time function and the frequency function or spectrum representations. This work is concerned with the development of a representation which is a combination of these two. Two previous attempts at defining this type of signal representation, which is referred to as two dimensional representation, have been made and a summary and evaluation of these attempts is presented. The primary objective of the work reported here was to develop a practical two dimensional representation which has the desired two dimensional conceptual properties as well as mathematical convenience. The representations defined are …
