Abstract: In an equalizer system with a plurality of equalizers, the variation and setting of various equalizer parameters (gains, center frequencies, Q factors) may be automated by an adjustment circuit that may utilize a procedure, for example, a nonlinear curve fitting. Upon each variation, a figure of merit (e.g., cost function) may be formed and the parameter variation may continue in the direction in which the cost function decreases until it reaches a predetermined level. After each new setting of the equalizers, the procedure can be performed and the desired parameter set can be passed on to an equalizer implementing routine. External control signals may be provided to the adjustment circuit which then generates corresponding internal control signals for setting the gains of the equalizers at the respective center frequencies, the internal control signals being modified relative to the associated external control signals in such a way that the interferences occurring between the equalizers are at least reduced. Additional external control signals may be provided to the adjustment circuit for setting the center frequency and Q factor of each of the equalizers. The adjustment circuit may generate corresponding internal control signals for changing the center frequencies and Q factors of the equalizers.

Abstract: Une première image, de deux images dont la similarité doit être comparée, est divisée en petites zones, une petite zone est ensuite choisie et la similarité par rapport à le seconde image est calculée au moyen d'une méthode de corrélation. La différence de position, le rapport de luminance et le degré de similarité sont ensuite déterminés dans la zone dans laquelle le degré de similarité, c'est-à-dire le carré d'une valeur de corrélation, est maximisé et une valeur basée sur le degré de similarité est intégrée à une position représentée par la différence de position et le rapport de luminance. Le même traitement est assuré pour toutes les petites zones et son ampleur est comparée à une valeur seuil à une position dans laquelle le degré intégré de similarité correspond à une valeur crête, ce qui permet l'évaluation de la similarité. Une zone similaire peut être détectée par l'extraction de petites zones possédant cette crête.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for calibrating smart antenna array systems in real time. Transmitting and receiving compensation coefficients of each antenna element relative to a calibration antenna element are obtained in the pre-calibration of a smart antenna before installation. After the antenna array is installed, in the transmitting calibration, a plurality of transmitting links simultaneously transmit calibration signals, then the base-band signal processor computes the amplitude and phase response of each transmitting link according to the calibration signals received by the calibration link and computes, together with the transmitting compensation coefficient obtained in the pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each transmitting link to compensate the downlink data of the base station; in the receiving calibration, the calibration link transmits a calibration sequence of signal, the base-band signal processor computes the amplitude and phase response of each receiving link based on the signals received by the receiving links and computes, together with the receiving compensation coefficient obtained in the pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each receiving link to compensate the uplink data of the base station. The calibration signal of each antenna element is generated by a periodic cycling shift of a basic calibration sequence. <IMAGE>
