摘要:
A system and related methods for allowing for an increase in the use of spectrum resources through market based mechanisms for spectrum management. Spectrum trading mechanisms are implemented that allow for assignment and allocation decisions to be made by market forces. The system helps moderate an environment where buyers and sellers dynamically determine the assignment of spectrum and its uses.

Techniques for producing an output signal using an outphasing transmitter are disclosed. In some examples, constant modulation (CM) signals may be produced from a digital input signal. The CM signals may be converted to an analog state and filtered. The signals may then be modulated to produce modulated signals, which may be amplified. The amplified signals may be combined to produce combined signals, which may further be combined to produce an output signal.

An example Cognitive Radio (CR) described herein may include equalization and Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC). The equalization may employ digital filter techniques with an adjustable length or order. The output of the equalization may be provided to the AMC, where the AMC may be adapted to identify various characteristics about the RF environment and also to identify probabilities of classification associated with the performance of the AMC itself. The CR device may be configured to adjust the equalization using feedback from the AMC to enhance performance of each other.

A method for determining pressure in an operating Coriolis effect mass flowmeter. The Coriolis flowmeter flow tubes are vibrated in both a bending mode (as is normal for measuring mass flow rate) and in a twisting mode. The ratio of the fundamental frequencies at which the flow tubes vibrate in each of the two vibration modes is proportional to the pressure within the flow tubes. In the preferred embodiment, a sum/difference method initially isolates the superposed sinusoids representing the fundamental frequencies of the two vibrational modes. Fast conjugate gradient (FCG) digital filters are then used to rapidly estimate the fundamental frequencies in each of the two vibration modes. The estimated frequencies are then used by filter chains including digital notch and band pass filters as well as recursive maximum likelihood (RML) digital filter techniques to enhance the bending mode and twisting mode fundamental frequency estimates. The enhanced bending mode and twisting mode frequency estimates are used to determine the pressure within the flow tubes as a function of the ratio of the two frequencies as well as to center the notch and band pass filter chains used to enhance the bending mode frequency of the two vibration sensor channels for mass flow rate computations. The pressure so determined may then be used to correct mass flow rate computations or for other pressure measurement purposes per se.

A multiplierless IIR filter incorporates power-of-two coefficients to perform shift operations to reduce space and increase speed. To optimize performance, a genetic algorithm generates the power-of-two coefficients. The filter architecture includes shift registers to receive input samples and previous outputs. A shifter stage is employed to perform shift operations for the input samples and previous outputs based on corresponding power-of-two coefficients. Products are added by parallelism and sequential pipelining to produce an output.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for determining frequency and phase relationships of vibrating flow tubes in a Coriolis mass flow meter. Adaptive line enhancement (ALE) techniques and apparatus are used in a digital signal processing (DSP) device to accurately determine frequency and phase relationships of the vibrating flow tube and to thereby more accurately determine mass flow rate of a material flowing through the mass flow meter. In a first embodiment, an adaptive notch filter is used to enhance the signal from each corresponding sensor signal on the vibrating flow tubes. In a second embodiment, a plurality of adaptive notch filters are cascaded to enhance the signal from each corresponding sensor signal. In both embodiments an anti-aliasing decimation filter associated with each sensor signal reduces the computational complexity by reducing the number of samples from a fixed frequency A/D sampling device associated with each sensor signal. Computational adjustments are performed to compensate for spectral leakage between the fixed sampling frequency and the variable fundamental frequency of the vibrating flow tubes. Despite this added computational complexity, the present invention is simpler than prior designs and provides better noise immunity due to the adaptive notch filtration. Heuristics are applied to the weight adaptation algorithms of the notch filters to improve convergence of the digital filters and to reduce the possibility of instability of the filters interfering with mass flow measurements.
