Frame and Burst Acquisition in TDMA Satellite Communication Networks with Transponder Hopping
(2009)
The paper presents frame and burst acquisition in a satellite communication network based on time division multiple access (TDMA) in which the transmissions may be carried on different transponders. A unique word pattern ...
Performance of Block Codes Using the Eigenstructure of the Code Correlation Matrix and Soft-Decision Decoding of BPSK
(2009)
A method is presented for obtaining the error
probability for block codes. The method is based on the eigenvalue-
eigenvector properties of the code correlation matrix. It is found that
under a unary transformation and ...

The Needs-Problem Matrix: Providing Some Order to the Chaotic Ideation Fuzzy Front End
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2007)
The fuzzy front end of the ideation process can often be chaotic, disorganized and seemingly
haphazard, especially to student novice designers. Presented with a large array of pre-ideation
tools and methods that are ...
Effect of Minor Elements on the Fluidity of Secondary LM25 and LM27-Type Cast Alloys
(2009)
In this study, the effect of individual and combined additions of Fe, Mn, Cr, Sr and Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner on the fluidity of secondary LM25 and LM27-type cast alloys was investigated. No change in fluidity was observed ...
