Doppler Spectrum Estimation by Ramanujan Fourier Transforms
The Doppler spectrum estimation of a weather radar signal in a classic way
can be made by two methods, temporal one based in the autocorrelation of the
successful signals, whereas the other one uses the estimation of the power
spectral density PSD by using Fourier transforms. We introduces a new tool of
signal processing based on Ramanujan sums cq(n), adapted to the analysis of
arithmetical sequences with several resonances p/q. These sums are almost
periodic according to time n of resonances and aperiodic according to the order
q of resonances. New results will be supplied by the use of Ramanujan Fourier
Transform (RFT) for the estimation of the Doppler spectrum for the weather
radar signal
Frequency stabilization of an external-cavity diode laser
Using a hybrid optical/electronic technique, an external-cavity diode laser was frequency stabilized with respect to the sub-Doppler spectrum of cesium vapor. Laser linewidths of 65 kHz and frequency stabilities of ±10 kHz were obtained

On the use of tracking loops for low-complexity multi-path channel estimation in OFDM systems
International audience—This paper treats pilot aided multi-path channel estimation with tracking loops for OFDM systems under slow to moderate fading conditions. Recent works have presented theoretical results for the tuning of second-order and third-order tracking loops in the particular context of Jakes's Doppler spectrum channel. The method for getting the loop coefficients resorted either to the use of a given constraint, which made the obtained coefficients sub-optimal, or was obtained in part by simulations. Here, we perform a global optimization of the coefficients without constraints to get the optimal coefficients, and analytical formulas are provided. One remarkable result of this optimization is that only the natural frequency depends on the transmission parameters, i.e., the channel Doppler spectrum, the power delay profile, and the noise variance. Consequently, only one parameter has to be tuned. Moreover, asymptotic performance is formulated in a more general way as a function of the 2rth moments of the Doppler spectrum (r is the loop order). Hence, all our derivations are usable for any Doppler spectrum and are not specific to Jakes's Doppler spectrum. A complete table sums up for the three orders the theoretical results of the optimal coefficients together with the asymptotic performance. The performance is also compared with that of the asymptotic Kalman filter
Doppler Spectrum Analysis in Three-Dimensional 5G Millimeter-Wave Channel Models
This article is contextualized in the mobile communications systems where there are multiple factors to consider: mobility, frequency, obstacles, reflectors, etc. In this paper, is presented an evaluation of the Doppler spectrum in a Three-Dimensional (3D) channel model for different frequencies, User Terminal (UT) directions and UT speeds. To commence, it introduces the channel model that is used for the simulations,
then the Classical Doppler Spectrum frequently used in Two-Dimensional (2D) channel models is entered. Finally, it tries the Doppler Spectrum for the some typical 5G frequencies, speeds up to 500 km/h and for the motion direction in the 3D space.Spanish Government (Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad) and FEDER under

MMSE estimation of basis expansion model for rapidly time-varying channels
In this paper, we propose an estimation technique for rapidly time-varying channels. We approximate the time-varying channel using the basis expansion model (BEM). The BEM coefficients of the channel are needed to design channel equalizers. We rely on pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) to estimate the channel (or the BEM coefficients of the channel). We first derive the optimal minimum mean-square error (MMSE) interpolation based channel estimation technique. We then derive the BEM channel estimation, where only the BEM coefficients are estimated. We consider a BEM with a critically sampled Doppler spectrum, as well as a BEM with an oversampled Doppler spectrum. It has been shown that, while the first suffers from an error floor due to a modeling error, the latter is sensitive to noise. A robust channel estimation can then be obtained by combining the MMSE interpolation based channel estimation and the BEM channel estimation technique. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the resulting algorithm provides a significant gain when an oversampled Doppler spectrum is used (an oversampling rate equal to 2 appears to be sufficient), while only a slight improvement is obtained when the critically sampled Doppler spectrum is used. 1
Measurement-based analysis of delay-Doppler characteristics in an indoor environment
An analysis of delay-Doppler characteristics in the presence of moving people is presented for short-range communication in an indoor environment. Channel-sounding measurements have been carried out at 3.6 GHz in a crowded university hall during several short and long breaks in-between courses. During three consecutive days, the measurements were repeated with different positions for the transmit and receive antennas. In this study, the behavior of the maximum Doppler shift and the Doppler spread was analyzed in the time-delay domain as a function of the occupation of the hall, the polarizations of the 2 x 2 MIMO antennas, and their positions in the hall. The measurements reveal a clear distinction between the Doppler spread of the short and long breaks in the campaign, indicating a distinctive power distribution of their Doppler spectra. In addition, there is a significant contrast between the Doppler characteristics of the co- and cross-polarizations. Measurements at several positions reveal the importance of characterizing multipaths and show that the Doppler effect depends on the position of the antennas in the environment. In addition, this work also shows that the Doppler spectrum can be accurately modeled by a Cauchy distribution, allowing for the generation of parameters to describe Doppler characteristics
The evidence of quasi-free positronium state in GiPS-AMOC spectra of glycerol
We present the results of processing of Age-Momentum Correlation (AMOC)
spectra that were measured for glycerol by the Gamma-induced positron
spectroscopy (GiPS) facility. Our research has shown that the shape of
experimental s(t) curve cannot be explained without introduction of the
intermediate state of positronium (Ps), called quasi-free Ps. This state yields
the wide Doppler line near zero lifetimes. We discuss the possible properties
of this intermediate Ps state from the viewpoint of developed model. The amount
of annihilation events produced by quasi-free Ps is estimated to be less than
5% of total annihilations. In the proposed model, quasi-free Ps serves as a
precursor for trapped Ps of para- and ortho-states
