Abstract [en]

This letter presents an incoherent change detectionalgorithm (CDA) for wavelength-resolution synthetic apertureradar (SAR) based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs).The proposed CDA includes a segmentation CNN, whichlocalizes potential changes, and a classification CNN, whichfurther analyzes these candidates to classify them as real changesor false alarms. Compared to state-of-the-art solutions on theCARABAS-II data set, the proposed CDA shows a significantimprovement in performance, achieving, in a particular setting,a detection probability of 99% at a false alarm rate of0.0833/km2

Abstract [en]

This letter presents an analysis of prefiltered clutter ultrawideband (UWB) very high frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The image data are reorganized into subvectors based on the observation of the image-pair magnitude samples. Based on this approach, we present a statistical description of the SAR clutter obtained by the subtraction between two real SAR images. The statistical analysis based on bivariate distribution data organized into different intervals of magnitude can be an important tool to further understand the properties of the backscattered signal for low-frequency SAR images. In this letter, it is found that, for “good” image pairs, the subtracted image has Gaussian distributed clutter backscattering and that the noise mainly consists of the thermal noise and, therefore, speckle noise does not have to be considered. This is a consequence of the stable backscattering for a UWB low-frequency SAR system.

Abstract [en]

In this paper we propose a new change detection (CD) algorithm based on the Bayes theorem and probability assignments. Differently from any kind of likelihood ratio test (LRT) algorithms, the proposed algorithm does not present target alarms, but the probability of certain image position is a target position. In other words, the proposed method leads to quantitative estimates on the probability of a target at any pixel, whereas LRT algorithms can only be used as a figure of merit for any pixel to contain a target.

Abstract [en]

This paper presents an analysis for optimal design of switched beamforming applied to a linear array for wireless communication systems. The beam switching scheme provides coverage of a given sector in azimuth and controls the sidelobe level simultaneously. The analysis was developed considering arrays composed of Quasi-Yagi elements. The model assumes a user moving in the azimuthal direction under a constant velocity and with an estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the mobile user (MU). The radio base station applies the beam that yields the best performance during transmission. The decision is based on the feedback information received from the MU. The goal of the analysis is to determine the best trade-off between the array size and number of feedback bits necessary to maximize the SNR at the receiver. The results show that a compromise between the number of beam-pointing directions and the array size should be taken into consideration for a wireless communication system design.

Abstract [en]

The paper presents investigations on SAR image statistics and adaptive signal processing for change detection. The investigations show that the amplitude distributions of SAR images with possibly detected changes, that is retrieved with a linear subtraction operator, can approximately be represented by the probability density function of the Gaussian or normal distribution. This allows emerging the idea to use the available adaptive signal processing techniques for change detection. The experiments indicate the promising change detection results obtained with an adaptive line enhancer, one of the adaptive signal processing technique. The experiments are conducted on the data collected by CARABAS, a UWB low frequency SAR system.

Abstract [en]

We propose a dynamic hybrid antenna/relay selection scheme for multiple-access relay systems. The proposed scheme aims to boost the system throughput while keeping a good error performance. By using the channel state information, the destination node performs a dynamic selection between the signals provided by the multi-antenna relay, located in the inter-cell region, and the relay nodes geographically distributed over the cells. The multi-antenna relay and the single-antenna relay nodes employ the decode-remodulate-and-forward and amplify-and-forward protocols, respectively. Results reveal that the proposed scheme offers a good tradeoff between spectral efficiency and diversity gain, which is one of the main requirements for the next generation of wireless communications systems.

Abstract [en]

A cooperative multiple-access scheme for wireless communications systems with antenna selection and incremental relaying is proposed. The scheme aims to improve the system throughput while preserving good performance in terms of bit error rate. The system consists of N nodes which send their information to both the destination node and the multiple-antenna relay station. Based on the channel state information, the destination node decides whether or not relaying will be performed. When the relaying is performed, the decode-remodulate-and-forward protocol is used with the best antenna. Results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves a good tradeoff between throughput and bit error rate, which makes suitable to be considered for multi-user networks.

Abstract [en]

In this paper we propose a low-complexity codebook-based beamforming with four transmit antennas and quantized feedback channel. The codebook design aggregates the effect of power allocation and phase rotation through a simple quantized transmit scheme. The codebook-based beamforming uses the feedback information in order to maximize the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. As a result, the proposed scheme presents an array gain. An SNR analysis is performed and it is used to find the optimal feedback information in the sense of maximizing the instantaneous SNR. A bit error rate (BER) analysis for a quantized feedback channel is also derived and it is used to compare to the results obtained for the proposed scheme under different levels of quantization. Simulations are performed over quasi-static flat Rayleigh fading channels for different closed-loop codebook-based schemes with four transmit antennas and unitary transmission rate. Results illustrate that the proposed scheme achieves full diversity order and outperforms other good schemes in terms of array gain.
