Discrete Wavelet Transforms
The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) algorithms have a firm position in processing of signals in several areas of research and industry. As DWT provides both octave-scale frequency and spatial timing of the analyzed signal, it is constantly used to solve and treat more and more advanced problems. The present book: Discrete Wavelet Transforms: Algorithms and Applications reviews the recent progress in discrete wavelet transform algorithms and applications. The book covers a wide range of methods (e.g. lifting, shift invariance, multi-scale analysis) for constructing DWTs. The book chapters are organized into four major parts. Part I describes the progress in hardware implementations of the DWT algorithms. Applications include multitone modulation for ADSL and equalization techniques, a scalable architecture for FPGA-implementation, lifting based algorithm for VLSI implementation, comparison between DWT and FFT based OFDM and modified SPIHT codec. Part II addresses image processing algorithms such as multiresolution approach for edge detection, low bit rate image compression, low complexity implementation of CQF wavelets and compression of multi-component images. Part III focuses watermaking DWT algorithms. Finally, Part IV describes shift invariant DWTs, DC lossless property, DWT based analysis and estimation of colored noise and an application of the wavelet Galerkin method. The chapters of the present book consist of both tutorial and highly advanced material. Therefore, the book is intended to be a reference text for graduate students and researchers to obtain state-of-the-art knowledge on specific applications

Performance of different wavelet families using DWT and DWPT-channel equalization using ZF and MMSE
NoWe have studied the performance of multidimensional signaling techniques using wavelets based modulation within an orthogonally multiplexed communication system. The discrete wavelets transform and wavelet packet modulation techniques have been studied using Daubechies 2 and 8, Biothogonal1.5 and 3.1 and reverse Biorthognal 1.5 and 3.1 wavelets in the presence of Rayleigh multipath fading channels with AWGN. Results showed that DWT based systems outperform WPM systems both in terms of BER vs. SNR performance as well as processing. The performances of two different equalizations techniques, namely zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE), were also compared using DWT. When the channel is modeled using Rayleigh multipath fading, AWGN and ISI both techniques yield similar performance

Design and Implementation of System Components for Radio Frequency Based Asset Tracking Devices to Enhance Location Based Services. Study of angle of arrival techniques, effects of mutual coupling, design of an angle of arrival algorithm, design of a novel miniature reconfigurable antenna optimised for wireless communication systems
The angle of arrival estimation of multiple sources plays a vital role in the field of array signal
processing as MIMO systems can be employed at both the transmitter and the receiver end
and the system capacity, reliability and throughput can be significantly increased by using array
signal processing. Almost all applications require accurate direction of arrival (DOA) estimation
to localize the sources of the signals. Another important parameter of localization systems is
the array geometry and sensor design which can be application specific and is used to
estimate the DOA.
In this work, various array geometries and arrival estimation algorithms are studied and then a
new scheme for multiple source estimation is proposed and evaluated based on the
performance of subspace and non-subspace decomposition methods. The proposed scheme
has shown to outperform the conventional Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) estimation
and Bartlett estimation techniques. The new scheme has a better performance advantage at
low and high signal to noise ratio values (SNRs).
The research work also studies different array geometries for both single and multiple incident
sources and proposes a geometry which is cost effective and efficient for 3, 4, and 5 antenna
array elements. This research also considers the shape of the ground plane and its effects on
the angle of arrival estimation and in addition it shows how the mutual couplings between the
elements effect the overall estimation and how this error can be minimised by using a decoupling
matrix.
At the end, a novel miniaturised multi element reconfigurable antenna to represent the receiver
base station is designed and tested. The antenna radiation patterns in the azimuth angle are
almost omni-directional with linear polarisation. The antenna geometry is uniplanar printed logspiral
with striplines feeding network and biased components to improve the impedance
bandwidth. The antenna provides the benefit of small size, and re-configurability and is very
well suited for the asset tracking applications
