An Alternative Approach To Design Lumped Element Delay Equalizers
(Istanbul Univ Fac Engineering, 2015)
In this paper an algorithm has been proposed to design lumped element delay equalizers which is considered as a single block as opposed to the existing methods in literature. Then after obtaining the desired delay performance ...
Bianchi surfaces whose asymptotic lines are geodesic parallels
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2015)
It is proved that every Bianchi surface in E-3 of class C-4 whose asymptotic lines are geodesic parallels is either a helicoid or a surface of revolution.

Bayesian compressive sensing for ultra-wideband channel estimation: algorithm and performance analysis
(Springer, 2015)
Due to the sparse structure of ultra-wideband (UWB) channels compressive sensing (CS) is suitable for UWB channel estimation. Among various implementations of CS the inclusion of Bayesian framework has shown potential to ...
Conditional Power and Rate Adaptation for MQAM/OFDM Systems Under CFO With Perfect and Imperfect Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015)
In this paper a new conditional power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) with perfect and imperfect channel ...
