    Abstract: A spatio-temporal signal monitoring system includes a sampler configured to receive a radio frequency signal and obtain first compressive sensing measurements of said received signal at a first resolution level, and a signal detector configured to identify at least one signal of interest based on said first compressive sensing measurements and perform second compressive sensing measurements on said at least one signal of interest at a second resolution level, said second resolution level being higher than said first resolution level. The received signal may be analyzed as an array or image having two or more dimensions, based on frequency and on at least one other parameter, such as angle-of arrival, and may be analyzed at a higher level of resolution at the frequencies and angles corresponding to a signal of interest (SOI). Estimates of the frequency and/or the at least one other parameter may be generated by the system. The system may be used to monitor a wideband RF spectrum and/or track signals, such as frequency-hopping signals.

    Abstract: A system for real time bilinear interpolation includes a bilinear interpolation module capable of: generating pixel addresses for original image pixels of an original image needed for performing bilinear interpolation of the original image to form a resized image, wherein the generated pixel addresses assume all the original image pixels of the original image are accessible, and performing bilinear interpolation, and a pixel smart memory module capable: of sequentially receiving original image pixel rows of the original image an original image pixel row a time, predicting which original image pixel rows are needed for performing bilinear interpolation, storing only the needed sequentially received original image pixel rows in a memory, decoding the generated pixel addresses to form decoded addresses to access the needed original image pixel rows stored in the memory, and sending the needed original image pixel rows to the bilinear interpolation module for performing bilinear interpolation.

    Abstract: Described is a cognitive signal processor that is implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). During operation, the FGPA receives a continuous noisy signal. The continuous noisy signal is a time-series of data points from a mixture signal of waveforms having both noise and a desired waveform signal. The continuous noisy signal is linearly mapped to reservoir states of a dynamical reservoir. A high-dimensional state-space representation of the continuous noisy signal is generated by digitally combining the continuous noisy signal with the reservoir states. Notably, the continuous noisy signal is approximated over a time interval based on a linear basis function. One or more delay-embedded state signals are then generated based on the reservoir states. The continuous noisy signal is then denoised by removing the noise from the desired waveform signal, resulting in a denoised waveform signal.

    Abstract: Described is a cognitive signal processor (CSP) for signal denoising. In operation, the CSP receives a noisy signal as a time-series of data points from a mixture of both noise and one or more desired waveform signals. The noisy signal is linearly mapped to reservoir states of a dynamical reservoir. A high-dimensional state-space representation is then generated of the noisy signal by combining the noisy signal with the reservoir states. A delay-embedded state signal is generated from the reservoir states. The reservoir states are denoised by removing noise from each reservoir state signal, resulting in a real-time denoised spectrogram of the noisy signal. A denoised waveform signal is generated combining the denoised reservoir states. Additionally, the signal denoising process is implemented in software or digital hardware by converting the state-space representation of the dynamical reservoir to a system of delay difference equations and then applying a linear basis approximation.

    Abstract: Described is a neuromorphic processor for signal denoising and separation. The neuromorphic processor generates delay-embedded mixture signals from an input mixture of pulses. Using a reservoir computer, the delay-embedded mixture signals are mapped to reservoir states of a dynamical reservoir having output layer weights. The output layer weights are adapted based on short-time linear prediction, and a denoised output of the mixture of input signals us generated. The denoised output is filtered through a set of adaptable finite impulse response (FIR) filters to extract a set of separated narrowband pulses.

    Abstract: Described is a cognitive blind source separator (CBSS). The CBSS includes a delay embedding module that receives a mixture signal (the mixture signal being a time-series of data points from one or more mixtures of source signals) and time-lags the signal to generate a delay embedded mixture signal. The delay embedded mixture signal is then linearly mapped into a reservoir to create a high-dimensional state-space representation of the mixture signal. The state-space representations are then linearly mapped to one or more output nodes in an output layer to generate pre-filtered signals. The pre-filtered signals are passed through a bank of adaptable finite impulse response (FIR) filters to generate separate source signals that collectively formed the mixture signal.
