The distorted exponential signal can be decomposed on exponential components with different amplitudes and time constants. Under the hypothesis to model this signal by multi exponential function, different algorithms were pointed out to extract the distortion parameters. In the paper is proposed an algorithm that takes into analysis real exponential signal affected by quantization noise, offset and other non-idealities that cannot be modelled by multi-exponential function. Based on the feature of this algorithm that overcomes the limits of that proposed in literature, the distorted exponential signal analyser is pointed out. It works without constrains on the distortion characteristics and without a priori knowledge. Numerical and experimental tests are performed to assess the correctness and the accuracy of the proposed analyser.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly deployed in office blocks, residential areas and also industrial locations, thanks to advantages in terms of flexibility and scalability. Nowadays available wireless fieldbuses are widely adopted for process monitoring and offer performance comparable with the wired counterparts, despite they still are more sensitive to interference from external sources. This work investigates the main sources of interference in the 2.4 GHz ISMband and evaluates the adoption of a simple algorithm to identify the interference. The proposed technique, called LPED, is based on bit error nature and forward error correction. The required computational effort is compatible with resources normally available in WSN nodes, as experimentally verified. In addition, performance in presence of IEEE802.11 and iWLAN is also verified; classification is correct in about 90% of cases.

Minimizing the crest factor of a multitone waveform helps to increase the signal to noise ratio in the measurement and decrease the nonlinear distortions. This paper uses the ac Josephson voltage standard to synthesize multitone waveforms and the L∞ algorithm to optimize the harmonic phases and thus to minimize the crest factor. In the optimization, both random and Schroeder harmonic phases are adopted as initial phases for the algorithm. With the crest factor minimized, the operating margin is increased significantly and the maximum output tone amplitude is doubled from 400 μVrms to 800 μVrms for the multitone waveform composed of 200 continuous harmonics.

A numerical assessment concerning the reconstruction capabilities of a recently proposed imaging measurement method working at microwave frequencies is proposed. The approach is based on the electric field integral equations of the inverse scattering problem, which are solved by using an iterative inexact-Newton method developed in Lp Banach spaces. Quantitative errors on the reconstruction of a canonical configuration are evaluated in different conditions. Accordingly, the effects of the choice of several parameters of the imaging configuration and operating conditions are discussed.

A new Hardware In the Loop (HIL) architecture to study high speed trains dynamics on full-scale test-rigs is proposed in this work. Through the new architecture different wheel-rail adhesion patterns and, in particular, degraded adhesion conditions can be reproduced on the test-rig. The new strategy will be implemented into the full-scale test-rig of the Railway Research and Approval Center of Firenze-Osmannoro (Italy); this test-rig has been designed by Trenitalia and by SICME (for the actuation system). To validate the proposed architecture, at this initial step of the research, both the hardware and the software parts of the HIL system have been accurately modeled (using the real component characteristics provided by Trenitalia). The simulated results have been compared to experimental data related to traction on-track tests carried out by Trenitalia in Velim, Czech Republic, with a E402-B locomotive equipped with a fully-working antiskid device. The initial model validation shows the good accuracy of the new HIL architecture in describing, on the test-rig, the complex system physics (characterized by degraded adhesion conditions coupled to railway vehicle dynamics) during the vehicle traction.
本文提出了一种新的硬件在环(Hardware In the Loop, HIL)架构，用于在全尺寸试验台上研究高速列车动力学。通过新的结构，不同的轮轨附着模式，特别是退化的附着条件可以在试验台上重现。新战略将在意大利佛罗伦萨-奥斯曼诺罗铁路研究和审批中心的全尺寸试验台实施;该试验台由意大利铁路公司(Trenitalia)和SICME公司(作动系统)共同设计。为了验证所提出的架构，在研究的初始阶段，HIL系统的硬件和软件部分都已经精确建模(使用Trenitalia提供的真实组件特性)。仿真结果与意大利铁路公司(Trenitalia)在捷克共和国Velim进行的E402-B型机车轨道牵引试验数据进行了比较，该机车配备了全工作防滑装置。最初的模型验证表明，在试验台上，新的HIL架构在描述车辆牵引过程中复杂的系统物理(以附着条件退化和轨道车辆动力学耦合为特征)方面具有良好的准确性。

The accelerometer has become one of the most popular sensors in recent years due to its low cost and the widespread availability of smart phones that now contain three axis accelerometers. This paper proposes an adaptive drift calibration technique for accelerometer signals, correcting higher sampling rate accelerometers using lower sampling rate velocity and position measurements. Specifically, this study made use of 40Hz sampled accelerometer signals captured by smart phones, and corrected them using two different 1Hz sampled velocity reference signals: a vehicle speed sensor and velocity from a Global Positioning System position sensor. The paper compares the performance of two error correction algorithms based on step and ramp shaped error correction delta functions. The ramp function was found to be susceptible to oscillation caused by high frequency noise, while the step function remains stable. The paper also shows that the GPS velocity signal has better performance over the dashboard vehicle velocity signal due to the higher frequency noise within the direct velocity signal.

During the last decades, networks have evolved from stateless copper wires to complex, stateful communication paths. Furthermore, the delay in wired and wireless access networks has decreased substantially, such that previously negligible delay contributions become relevant parts of the total end-to-end delay. This can affect critical M2M applications such as Smart Grid communication that depend on timely data transfer. Their demand for deterministic communication paths conflicts with the common, cost-driven trend to share and optimize overall network capacity. This paper assesses contributions and bias of network technologies and systems onto end-to-end delay in today's access networks. The delay measurement results that are presented for various access networks provide (a) methodological considerations for accurate one-way delay measurements in these networks, (b) delay estimates for specific technologies as a guideline for M2M communication network selection, and (c) exemplary technology-specific anomalies that M2M applications must be prepared to handle. Integrating these findings into M2M applications is key to improve their communication's robustness, performance, and ability to handle anomalies appropriately.

Indirect spectrum sensing mainly concerns the measurement and analysis of primary wideband analog signal. This paper proposes two robust algorithms based on maximum a-posteriori probability (MAP) and minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimators to recover wideband block-sparse spectrum and then detect the spectrum holes in compressive spectrum sensing (CSS). In each iteration of the referred Block-sparse Orthogonal Matching Pursuit based on iterative MAP (BOMP-IMAP) algorithm, one index of block is firstly identified to expand the estimated support. And then, wideband block-sparse spectrum can be recovered through approximating the MAP estimator. Finally, the residual is updated and put into next iteration. In order to approximate the MMSE estimator, the Random BOMP-IMAP (RandBOMP-IMAP) algorithm utilizes a randomized block identification of BOMP-IMAP algorithm to generate multiple solutions, which is followed by the fusion of them to obtain the final approximation. Numerical simulation results concerning probability of detection and detection time under certain noise level or measurement number validate the superiority of the proposed algorithms.

Is there a framework common to measurement across broad domains of application, including both physical and social science measurement? The answer to this question would determine to an important extent the possibility of building a shared measurement-related body of knowledge across many traditionally separate domains. In this paper, we outline a structural framework of the processes involved in the construction and use of measurement that includes instrument design, standard/reference selection, instrument calibration, measurand definition, and ultimately, instrument operation and data processing.

Major accidents on highways, freeways and local roads can lead to huge social and economic impacts. Minor accidents may be resolved by the passengers themselves and do not require escorting to hospitals whereas major accidents where airbags are deployed require immediate attention of authorities. Automatic Smart Accident Detection (ASAD) is an auto-detection unit system that immediately notifies an Emergency Contact through a text message when an instant change in acceleration, rotation and an impact force in an end of the vehicle is detected by the system, detailing the location and time of the accident. The idea is that as soon as an accident is detected by the system, the authorities should immediately be notified to prevent further car congestion as well as allow the passengers to be escorted to the hospital in a timely fashion. The system involves the use of fuzzy logic as a decision support built into the smartphone application that analyzes the incoming data from the sensors and makes a decision based on a set of rules. The simulated results show a 98.67% accuracy of the system with failures resulting from the “gray regions” of the variable values.
