sciforum-035162 | The Tap-Length Associated with the Blind Adaptive Equalization/Deconvolution Problem | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The step-size parameter and the equalizer's tap length are the system parameters in the blind adaptive equalization design. Choosing a large step-size parameter causes the equalizer to converge faster compared with applying a smaller value for the step size parameter. But, a higher step-size parameter leaves the system with a higher residual inter-symbol-interference (ISI) than does a lower step-size parameter. The equalizer's tap length should be set large enough to compensate for the channel distortions. But, since the channel parameters are unknown, the required equalizer's tap length is also unknown. The system parameters are usually designed via simulation trials, in such a way that the equalizer's performance from the residual ISI point of view reaches a system desired residual ISI level. Recently, a closed-form approximated expression was derived for the residual ISI as a function of the system parameters, input sequence statistics and channel power. This expression was obtained under the assumption having a value for the equalizer's tap length that is sufficient to compensate for the channel distortions. Based on this approximated expression, the outcome from the step-size parameter multiplied by the equalizer's tap length can be derived when the residual ISI is given. But, by choosing a step-size parameter, we automatically have also the value for the equalizer's tap length which might now not be large enough to compensate for the channel distortions and thus leaving the system with a higher residual ISI than the required one. In this work, we derive an expression that sets a condition on the equalizer's tap length based on the input sequence statistics, on the chosen equalizer's characteristics and required residual ISI. In addition, highlights are supplied on how to set the equalizer's tap length for different channel cases based on this new derived expression. The findings are accompanied by simulation results. |

Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused havoc in many economic areas such as those related to tourism. This creates the need for alternative activities in this sector, especially given that it is not clear when will end the present emergency and there could new situations of this kind. We consider here two main possibilities (virtual models and remote observations) for tourism related to geological objects (including those used by humans) and processes. These approaches could help to promote remote-operated tourism in other celestial bodies, helping to promote this kind of enterprise. These activities could be prepared with variable connection to education (for publics with diverse age ranges), prompting their use at any time of the year (hence minimizing the issue of seasonality). Our discussion suggests that remote observations will be the most interesting option since they could potentially give the users an unlimited diversity of experiences, it might give higher return to local communities (but also higher loads on local environments) and they could find additional value in other geological applications. While our analysis is certainly very speculative at present, it can be submitted to falsification by the financial results. |

sciforum-035494 | Evaluation of Generative Modeling Techniques for Frequency Responses | , , , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
During microwave design, it is of practical interest to obtain insight in the statistical variability of a device’s frequency response with respect to several sources of variation. Unfortunately, the frequency response acquisition can be particularly time-consuming or expensive. This makes uncertainty quantification unfeasible when dealing with complex networks. Generative modeling techniques that are based on machine learning can reduce the computation load by learning the underlying stochastic process from few instances of the device response and generating new ones by executing an inexpensive sampling strategy. This way, an arbitrary number of frequency responses can be obtained that are drawn from a probability distribution that resembles the original one. The use of Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GP-LVM) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE) as modeling algorithms will be evaluated in a generative framework. The framework includes a Vector Fitting (VF) pre-processing step which guarantees stability and reciprocity of S-matrices by converting them into a suitable rational model. Both GP-LVM and VAE are tested on the S-parameter responses of two linear multi-port network examples. |

sciforum-035574 | A System-Level Modeling of Noise in Coupled Resonating MEMS Sensors | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This paper presents realistic system-level modeling of effective noise sources in a coupled resonating mode-localized MEMS sensors. A governing set of differential equations are used to build a numerical model of a mechanical noise source in a coupled-resonator sensor and an effective thermo-mechanical noise is quantified through the simulation performed via SIMULINK. On a similar note, an effective noise that stems from the electronic readout used for the coupled resonating MEMS sensors is also quantified. Various noise sources in electronic readout are identified and the contribution of each is quantified. A comparison between an effective mechanical and electronic noise in a sensor system aids in identifying the dominant noise source in a sensor system. A method to optimize the system noise floor for an amplitude-based readout is presented. The proposed models present a variety of operating conditions, such as finite quality factor, varying coupled electrostatic spring strength, and operation with in-phase and out-of-phase mode. The proposed models aim to study the impact of fundamental noise processes that govern the ultimate resolution into a coupled resonating system used for various sensing applications. |
