Analysis of Doppler Effect on the Pulse Compression of Different Codes Emitted by an Ultrasonic LPS
This work analyses the effect of the receiver movement on the detection by pulse compression of different families of codes characterizing the emissions of an Ultrasonic Local Positioning System. Three families of codes have been compared: Kasami, Complementary Sets of Sequences and Loosely Synchronous, considering in all cases three different lengths close to 64, 256 and 1,024 bits. This comparison is first carried out by using a system model in order to obtain a set of results that are then experimentally validated with the help of an electric slider that provides radial speeds up to 2 m/s. The performance of the codes under analysis has been characterized by means of the auto-correlation and cross-correlation bounds. The results derived from this study should be of interest to anyone performing matched filtering of ultrasonic signals with a moving emitter/receiver
Comparative Analysis of Peak Correlation Characteristics of Non-Orthogonal Spreading Codes for Wireless Systems
The performance of a CDMA based wireless system is largely dependent on the
characteristics of pseudo-random spreading codes. The spreading codes should be
carefully chosen to ensure highest possible peak value of auto-correlation
function and lower correlation peaks (side-lobes) at non-zero time-shifts.
Simultaneously, zero cross-correlation value at all time shifts is required in
order to eliminate the effect of multiple access interference at the receiver.
But no such code family exists which possess both characteristics
simultaneously. That's why an exhaustive effort has been made in this paper to
evaluate the peak correlation characteristics of various non-orthogonal
spreading codes and suggest a suitable solution.Comment: 12 Pages, 8 Figures, 3 Table
A Systematic Framework for the Construction of Optimal Complete Complementary Codes
The complete complementary code (CCC) is a sequence family with ideal
correlation sums which was proposed by Suehiro and Hatori. Numerous literatures
show its applications to direct-spread code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA)
systems for inter-channel interference (ICI)-free communication with improved
spectral efficiency. In this paper, we propose a systematic framework for the
construction of CCCs based on -shift cross-orthogonal sequence families
(-CO-SFs). We show theoretical bounds on the size of -CO-SFs and CCCs,
and give a set of four algorithms for their generation and extension. The
algorithms are optimal in the sense that the size of resulted sequence families
achieves theoretical bounds and, with the algorithms, we can construct an
optimal CCC consisting of sequences whose lengths are not only almost arbitrary
but even variable between sequence families. We also discuss the family size,
alphabet size, and lengths of constructible CCCs based on the proposed
algorithms
Antimicrobial peptide identification using multi-scale convolutional network
Background: Antibiotic resistance has become an increasingly serious problem in the past decades. As an alternative choice, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have attracted lots of attention. To identify new AMPs, machine learning methods have been commonly used. More recently, some deep learning methods have also been applied to this problem.
Results: In this paper, we designed a deep learning model to identify AMP sequences. We employed the embedding layer and the multi-scale convolutional network in our model. The multi-scale convolutional network, which contains multiple convolutional layers of varying filter lengths, could utilize all latent features captured by the multiple convolutional layers. To further improve the performance, we also incorporated additional information into the designed model and proposed a fusion model. Results showed that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models on two AMP datasets and the Antimicrobial Peptide Database (APD)3 benchmark dataset. The fusion model also outperforms the state-of-the-art model on an anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) dataset at the accuracy.
Conclusions: Multi-scale convolutional network is a novel addition to existing deep neural network (DNN) models. The proposed DNN model and the modified fusion model outperform the state-of-the-art models for new AMP discovery. The source code and data are available at https://github.com/zhanglabNKU/APIN
