Title: Signal quality estimation from coupling matrix
Inventor: BOTTOMLEY GREGORY E
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2010-09-28
Abstract: The quality of a received signal in a non-linear receiver is estimated using a coupling matrix G or Q that describes the interaction of symbols m the received signal with other symbols and/or how the impairment (noise and interference) interacts in the received signal. The coupling matrix is also useful for joint detection The signal quality estimate may include, e g, the minimum eigenvalue, and other functions, such as the determinant and trace of the coupling matrix. When G or Q varies with each block, as m CDMA systems employing longcode scrambling, a representative matrix can be used, such as a matrix of RMS values or average magnitudes of real and imaginary components. The signal quality estimate can be expressed as a bit error rate (BER).

Abstract: A paint coating (P) which hinders the passage of current from a rotation axis member (40) to a sliding bushing (50) is formed on the outer circumference (40c) of the rotation axis member (40), including the portion (S2, S3) that slides with the sliding bushing (50) in the rotation axial direction and including the range (S4) near the exposed end edge (53) of the sliding bushing (50). Due to this, even if ED coating is performed as a means of rust prevention for a vehicle body (M1), cracked, peeled, and fallen ED paint coating no longer exists in the boundary portion between the rotation axis member (40) and the sliding bushing (50); for example, even if the sliding bushing (50) moves around the rotation axis member (40) relatively, so-called nibs cease to be created. With respect to this, the electrically conductive portion (S1) of the rotation axis member (40) at the hinge (10) for the vehicle door is set at "3.5 mm", and current arriving from the female bracket (20) can run from the rotation axis member (40) to the sliding bushing (50) without resistance.

Title: Method and system for locating interference by frequency sub-band
Inventor: MARTIN NICOLAS
IPC: G01S3/14
Filed: 2012-10-02
Abstract: A method and receiver are provided for locating sources interfering on a signal received by the receiver. The receiver has an array of antennas and calculates a spatio-temporal intercorrelation matrix. The receiver subdivides a useful band of the signals into sub-bands. For each sub-band, the receiver calculates a spatial intercorrelation matrix associated with the sub-band and calculates an eigenvalue, detects interference with using a detection criterion, determines eigenvectors of the spatial intercorrelation matrix, and determines directions of arrival of the interfering sources. The receiver makes this determination by searching for the vectors of relative gains belonging to the interference sub-space or which are orthogonal to the orthogonal noise sub-space and complementary to the interference sub-space. This can be useful in receivers implementing spatio-temporal anti-interference processing of STAP (Space Time Adaptive Processing) type.
