This paper proposes a method for the three-dimensional localization of an active aerial target by a single ground based sensor. The proposed method employs the time and frequency differences of arrival of the signal received directly from the aerial target and the signals received after being reflected from some large auxiliary terrestrial targets (pseudo-sensors) with known positions on the ground. Due to the terrestrial nature of the main and the pseudo sensors, it is impossible to solve for the target's altitude using traditional methods. The proposed method employs target motion analysis to obtain target position including its altitude with acceptable accuracy and low computational complexity. Presented simulations confirm acceptable accuracy of the proposed method in determining three dimensional position of the target despite limited number of the pseudo sensors and its low computational complexity.

The Electric Network Frequency (ENF) is a signature of power distribution networks that can be captured by multimedia recordings made in areas where there is electrical activity. This has led to an emergence of several forensic applications based on the use of the ENF signature. Examples of such applications include estimating or verifying the time-of-recording of a media signal and inferring the power grid associated with the location in which the media signal was recorded. In this paper, we carry out a feasibility study to examine the possibility of using embedded ENF traces to pinpoint the location-of-recording of a signal within a power grid. In this study, we demonstrate that it is possible to pinpoint the location-of-recording to a certain geographical resolution using power signal recordings containing strong ENF traces. To this purpose, a high-passed version of an ENF signal is extracted and it is demonstrated that the correlation between two such signals, extracted from recordings made in different geographical locations within the same grid, decreases as the distance between the recording locations increases. We harness this property of correlation in the ENF signals to propose trilateration based localization methods, which pinpoint the unknown location of a recording while using some known recording locations as anchor locations. We also discuss the challenges that need to be overcome in order to extend this work to using ENF traces in noisier audio/video recordings for such fine localization purposes.

Optical artificial neural networks (ONNs) have significant potential for ultra-high computing speed and energy efficiency. We report a novel approach to ONNs that uses integrated Kerr optical micro-combs. This approach is programmable and scalable and is capable of reaching ultra-high speeds. We demonstrate the basic building block ONNs — a single neuron perceptron — by mapping synapses onto 49 wavelengths to achieve an operating speed of 11.9 x 109 operations per second, or Giga-OPS, at 8 bits per operation, which equates to 95.2 gigabits/s (Gbps). We test the perceptron on handwritten-digit recognition and cancer-cell detection — achieving over 90% and 85% accuracy, respectively. By scaling the perceptron to a deep learning network using off-the-shelf telecom technology we can achieve high throughput operation for matrix multiplication for real-time massive data processing.

Human movement variability arises from the process of mastering redundant (bio)mechanical degrees of freedom to successfully accomplish any given motor task where flexibility and stability of many possible joint combinations helps to adapt to environment conditions. While the analysis of movement of variability is becoming increasingly popular as a diagnostic tool or skill performance evaluation, there are remain challenges on applying the most appropriate methods. We therefore investigate nonlinear methods such as reconstructed state space (RSSs), uniform time-delay embedding, recurrence plots (RPs) and recurrence quantification analysis (RQAs) with real-world time-series data of wearable inertial sensors. That said, twenty healthy participants imitated vertical and horizontal arm movements in normal and faster velocity from an humanoid robot. We applied nonlinear methods to the collected data to found visual differences in the patterns of RSSs and RPs and statistical differences with RQAs. We conclude that Shannon Entropy with RQA is a robust method that helps to quantify activities, types of sensors, windows lengths and level of smoothness. Hence this work might enhance the development of better diagnostic tools for applications in rehabilitation and sport science for skill performance or new forms of human-humanoid interaction for quantification of movement adaptations and motor pathologies.

Computing the Sparse Fast Fourier Transform(sFFT) of a K-sparse signal of size N has emerged as a critical topic for a long time. There are mainly two stages in the sFFT: frequency bucketization and spectrum reconstruction. Frequency bucketization is equivalent to hashing the frequency coefficients into B buckets through one of these filters: Dirichlet kernel filter, flat filter, aliasing filter, etc. The spectrum reconstruction is equivalent to identifying frequencies that are isolated in their buckets. More than forty different sFFT algorithms compute Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT) by their unique methods so far. In order to use them properly, the urgent topic of great concern is how to analyze and evaluate the performance of these algorithms in theory and practice. The paper mainly discusses the sFFT Algorithms using the aliasing filter. In the first part, the paper introduces the technique of three frameworks: the one-shot framework based on the compressed sensing(CS) solver, the peeling framework based on the bipartite graph and the iterative framework based on the binary tree search. Then, we get the conclusion of the performance of six corresponding algorithms: sFFT-DT1.0, sFFT-DT2.0, sFFT-DT3.0, FFAST, R-FFAST and DSFFT algorithm in theory. In the second part, we make two categories of experiments for computing the signals of different SNR, different N, different K by a standard testing platform and record the run time, percentage of the signal sampled and L0, L1, L2 error both in the exactly sparse case and general sparse case. The result of experiments satisfies the inferences obtained in theory.

With the advent of the 5G wireless networks, achieving tens of gigabits per second throughputs and low, milliseconds, latency has become a reality. This level of performance will fuel numerous real-time applications, such as autonomy and augmented reality, where the computationally heavy tasks can be performed in the cloud. The increase in the bandwidth along with the use of dense constellations places a significant burden on the speed and accuracy of analog-to-digital converters (ADC). A popular approach to create wideband ADCs is utilizing multiple channels each operating at a lower speed in the time-interleaved fashion. However, an interleaved ADC comes with its own set of challenges. The parallel architecture is very sensitive to the inter-channel mismatch, timing jitter, clock skew between different ADC channels as well as the nonlinearity within individual channels. Consequently, complex post-calibration is required using digital signal processing (DSP) after the ADC. The traditional DSP calibration consumes a significant amount of power and its design requires knowledge of the source and type of errors which are becoming increasingly difficult to predict in nanometer CMOS processes. In this paper, instead of individually targeting each source of error, we utilize a deep learning algorithm to learn the complete and complex ADC behavior and to compensate for it in realtime. We demonstrate this "Deep ADC" technique on an 8G Sample/s 8-channel time-interleaved ADC with the QAM-OFDM modulated data. Simulation results for different QAM symbol constellations and OFDM subcarriers show dramatic improvements of approximately 5 bits in the dynamic range with a concomitant drastic reduction in symbol error rate. We further discuss the hardware implementation including latency, power consumption, memory requirements, and chip area.
