Noise PSD Insensitive RTF Estimation in a Reverberant and Noisy Environment

Spatial filtering techniques typically rely on estimates of the target relative transfer function (RTF). However, the target speech signal is typically corrupted by late reverberation and ambient noise, which complicates RTF estimation. Existing methods subtract the noise covariance matrix to obtain the target plus late reverberation covariance...

3D Elements for Phased-Array Systems: Analysis and Design

In recent years, radar systems and satellite communications require phased array antennas that are capable of incorporating frequency and angular selectivity while maintaining a low profile. Active phased array antennas must comply with stringent requirements in terms of sensitivity to interference caused by other nearby radiating systems,...

Angularly Stable Frequency Selective Surface Combined with a Wide-Scan Phased Array

A five-layer frequency selective surface (FSS) composed of subwavelength elements with large harmonic rejection bandwidth is presented. The FSS design is based on an equivalent circuit model, where the interlayer interaction is only described with a single transmission line representing the fundamental Floquet wave. A prototype of the...

Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation in Radio Astronomy

The next generation of radio telescopes is expected to be one to two orders of magnitude more sensitive than the current generation. Examples of such new telescopes are the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), currently under construction in the Netherlands, and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), currently in a concept study phase. Another trend is that...

A family of les filters with nonuniform filter widths

In this TP a family of filters for Large Eddy Simulation with nonuniform filter widths is constructed that commute with differentiation up to any given order.

Design and Implementation of the Delft Image Processor DIP-1

This report describes the design and implementation of the Delft Image Processor DIP-1. In this pipelined image-processing computer, a number of storage and processing modules which operate concurrently and synchronously (hardware floating-point ALUs and multiplier, conversion table and cellularlogic table) may be interconnected in a...
