Examples of signature (2,2) manifolds with commuting curvature operators
We exhibit Walker manifolds of signature (2,2) with various commutativity
properties for the Ricci operator, the skew-symmetric curvature operator, and
the Jacobi operator. If the Walker metric is a Riemannian extension of an
underlying affine structure A, these properties are related to the Ricci tensor
of A
Multichannel receivers from ofdm and tdma in mobile communications
This paper addresses the use of multichannel receivers for blind equalization in TDMA under frequency selective channels and OFDM systems in frequency flat fading channels. A new criteria is proposed for blind equalization of finite length mobile channels.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Diversity techniques for blind channel equalization in mobile communications
A blind algorithm for channel distortion compensation is presented which can be employed in spatial or temporal diversity receivers. The proposed technique can be used in frequency selective and frequency flat fading mobile channels, using burst transmission schemes in the first case and OFDM modulation in the second one. The algorithm is base on a deterministic criteria and is suited for estimation when short sets of data are available.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Transform modulations for mobile communications
A new modulation scheme called transform modulations is proposed which improves the system performance in frequency-flat fading mobile channels. They ameliorate the effect of the fadings over the transmitted signal by spreading the information in time, using a linear transform operator. The design of this scheme is discussed and its advantages are shown by means of simulations. The relationship of this scheme with OFDM modulation is also analyzed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
