The classic approach for estimating instantaneous parameters relies on using the Hilbert Transform (HT). The HT method extracts the instantaneous parameters by comparing the imaginary part with the real part of an analytical signal. The... more
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is sometimes hard to identify in neonates, in particular when the respiratory rate approaches half the mean heart rate. It is shown that the analysis of the cardiac event series may reveal RSA in cases... more
In this paper, the AM–FM modulation model is applied to speech analysis, synthesis and coding. The AM–FM model represents the speech signal as the sum of formant resonance signals each of which contains amplitude and frequency modulation.... more
The ionosonde is a system which exploits the radar technique: it applies electromagnetic waves with variable frequency in the HF band to measure the io nospheric layers electron density, height and other parameters. This paper is a... more
The detection of concealed weapons at a distance is a critical security issue that has been a great challenge for different imaging approaches. In this paper we discuss the use of ultrasonics in a novel way to probe for metallic and... more
Eddy current sensors with rectangular planar coils were designed, constructed and characterized. The rectangular planar coils have a maximum testing area of 2.25 cm2 and an output impedance in the range of the entrance impedance of normal... more
