Tree-Structured Nonlinear Adaptive Signal Processing, C. S. Ravishankar, Saul B. Gelfand, Edward J. Delp Aug 1991

Tree-Structured Nonlinear Adaptive Signal Processing, C. S. Ravishankar, Saul B. Gelfand, Edward J. Delp

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In communication systems, nonlinear adaptive filtering has become increasingly popular in a variety of applications such as channel equalization, echo cancellation and speech coding. However, existing nonlinear adaptive filters such as polynomial (truncated Volterra series) filters and multilayer perceptrons suffer from a number of problems. First, although high Order polynomials can approximate complex nonlinearities, they also train very slowly. Second, there is no systematic and efficient way to select their structure. As for multilayer perceptrons, they have a very complicated structure and train extremely slowly Motivated by the success of classification and regression trees on difficult nonlinear and nonparametfic problems, …


Efficient Importance Sampling Simulations For Digital Communication Systems, Jyun-Cheng Chen Aug 1991

Efficient Importance Sampling Simulations For Digital Communication Systems, Jyun-Cheng Chen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Importance sampling is a- modified. Monte Carlo simulation technique which can dramatically reduce the computational cost of the Monte Carlo method. A complete development is presented for its use in the estimation of bit error rates /V for digital communication systems with small Gaussian noise inputs. Emphasis is on the optimal mean-translation Gaussian simulation density function design and the event simulation method as applied to systems which employ quasi-regular trellis codes. These codes include the convolutional codes and many TCM (Ungerboeck) codes. Euclidean distance information of a code is utilized to facilitate the simulation. Also, the conditional importance sampling technique …

Real-Time Helicopter Flight Control Test Bed, Toby J. Pallett, Brad J. Wolfert, Shaheen Ahmad Jul 1991

Real-Time Helicopter Flight Control Test Bed, Toby J. Pallett, Brad J. Wolfert, Shaheen Ahmad

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The goal of this paper is to describe a test bed for real-time helicopter flight control systems and some initial control experiments utilizing the test bed. The developed test bed consists of an off-the-shelf radio control helicopter which has been modified so that it can be computer controlled. The helicopter is mounted on a sensor equipped test fixture which provides information on the helicopter's position and attitude while allowing it to move freely within some limited area. In this paper we describe the hardware and software developed to allow real-time helicopter flight control and plant identification. In addition we propose …

Computer Simulation And Device Physics Of Sige Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors, Troy Thomas Herman May 1991

Computer Simulation And Device Physics Of Sige Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors, Troy Thomas Herman

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Recent advances in semiconductor growth technology have enabled the growth of SiGe strained layers on silicon substrates. Si/SiGe technology has a promising future, especially in microwave HBT applications. This work describes the development of an existing two-dimensional drift-diffusion device simulation program for accurate modelling of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT's). PUPHS2D (Purdue University Program for Heterostructure Simulation in Two Dimensions) was formulated by Paul Dodd [Dod89] as an AlGaAs/GaAs HBT simulation tool. This work describes the extension of this program to the silicon and Si 1|_xGex material systems. The computer model allows the user to explore internal device physics as …
