High-Speed Separation Of Anechoic Mixtures Of Speech Signals Using Fusion Of Iterative And Closed-Forms Separation Method, Mahdi Mahdikhani, Mohammad Hosein Kahaei Jan 2015

High-Speed Separation Of Anechoic Mixtures Of Speech Signals Using Fusion Of Iterative And Closed-Forms Separation Method, Mahdi Mahdikhani, Mohammad Hosein Kahaei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We introduce the fusion of iterative and closed-forms separation (FICS) method for high-speed separation of anechoic mixed speech signals. This method is performed in two stages: 1) iterative-form separation and 2) closed-form separation. This algorithm significantly improves the separation quality simply due to incorporating only some specific frequency bins into computations. We apply the FICS method to the frequency-domain independent component analysis (ICA) to evaluate its performance in increasing the signal separation speed for anechoic mixtures. Simulation results show that for speech signals and anechoic conditions, the proposed algorithm is on average 65 times faster than ICA while preserving the …

In this paper, the authors propose the availability analysis of a dual open-end stator windings asynchronous machine. Each open-end stator winding is supplied by two PWM voltage source inverters. The active and passive redundancy of the inverters improves reliability, availability, and safety of the system since the loss of inverter losses does not stop the machine. Indeed, for active redundancy, in the case of failure of the inverter, the corresponding winding is disconnected and the other winding is supplied by the two healthy inverters. For passive redundancy, one winding is fed by two inverters and the two others are waiting; …

Furthermore, hot-carrier degradation affects each application uniquely. In analog applications, hot-carrier degradation is more complex and diverse relative to digital applications. In this study, we improve the BSIM4 drain-current model to develop a hot-carrier degradation model that is suitable for both analog and digital applications. Our approach is readily applicable to all process technologies …


Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik Jan 2015

Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The traditional prosodic and spectral features are also used as a benchmark. The Fisher discriminant ratio acts as a filter to remove irrelevant features quickly. Then a wrapper method based on a genetic algorithm and support vector machine is employed to find the best feature subset that obtains the maximum recognition rate. The classification accuracy of the …

Current stress on switches is reduced because of the resonance in switches, and also, as a result of zero voltage switching in switches, switching losses will be reduced in this proposed converter. In the output, the reverse recovery problem of diodes is alleviated by zero current switching, so there is no need for fast diodes anymore. The reduction of losses improves the efficiency, and in a wide …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multicarrier systems like the multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems are designed for maximum usability of available bandwidth. We use the MC-CDMA system with Alamouti's space time coding in this paper. We propose the genetic algorithm (GA) in order to calculate MC-CDMA receiver weights with two variation schemes. The proposed schemes reduce receiver complexity. The bit error rate and convergence rate are also improved by increasing the number of genes and chromosomes of the GA in both schemes as compared with conventional LMS based receivers of the MC-CDMA system. This is verified via simulations.

Dwmt Transceiver Equalization Using Overlap Fde For Downlink Adsl, Arsla Khan, Sobia Baig, Tabassum Nawaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Discrete wavelet multitone (DWMT) modulation is a wavelet transform based technique implemented using perfect reconstruction filter banks. It has been recently proposed for various wireline channels such as digital subscriber loops (DSLs) as a solution to the problems posed by a discrete multitone (DMT) transceiver including interblock interference (IBI) and lower spectral efficiency due to the employment of a cyclic prefix (CP) in the guard interval (GI) for DMT symbols. The greater side lobe attenuation offered by wavelet filter banks results in improved spectral containment and lower IBI in DWMT transceivers. However, no standard equalization technique exists for a DWMT …
