Direction-of-Arrival Estimation Based on Sparse Recovery with Second-Order Statistics
Traditional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation techniques perform Nyquist-rate sampling of the received signals and as a result they require high storage. To reduce sampling ratio, we introduce level-crossing (LC) sampling which captures samples whenever the signal crosses predetermined reference levels, and the LC-based analog-to-digital converter (LC ADC) has been shown to efficiently sample certain classes of signals. In this paper, we focus on the DOA estimation problem by using second-order statistics based on the LC samplings recording on one sensor, along with the synchronous samplings of the another sensors, a sparse angle space scenario can be found by solving an minimization problem, giving the number of sources and their DOA's. The experimental results show that our proposed method, when compared with some existing norm-based constrained optimization compressive sensing (CS) algorithms, as well as subspace method, improves the DOA estimation performance, while using less samples when compared with Nyquist-rate sampling and reducing sensor activity especially for long time silence signal
Quantum Information Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Tilted Double-Well System
We study the ground state properties of bosons in a tilted double-well
system. We use fidelity susceptibility to identify the possible ground state
transitions under different tilt values. For a very small tilt (for example
), two transitions are found. For a moderate tilt (for example
), only one transition is found. For a large tilt (for example
), no transition is found. We explain this by analyzing the spectrum
of the ground state. The quantum discord and total correlation of the ground
state under different tilts are also calculated to indicate those transitions.
In the transition region, both quantities have peaks decaying exponentially
with particle number . This means for a finite-size system the transition
region cannot be explained by the mean-field theory, but in the large- limit
it can be.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, slightly different from the published versio
