ITERATIVE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN CHANNEL ESTIMATION AND EQUALIZATION FOR ULTRA-WIDEBAND SYSTEMS WITH SHORT CYCLIC PREFIX

Iterative Frequency-Domain Channel Estimation and Equalization for Ultra-Wideband Systems with Short Cyclic Prefix

In impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems where the channel lengths are on the order of a few hundred Toys taps, conventional use of frequency-domain (FD) processing for channel estimation and equalization may not be feasible because the need to add a cyclic prefix (CP) to each block causes a significant reduction in the spectral efficiency.

The microbiome of African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) under managed care resembles that of wild marine mammals and birds

Abstract Animals under managed care in zoos and aquariums are ideal surrogate study subjects for endangered species that are difficult to obtain in the wild.We compared the fecal and oral microbiomes of healthy, managed African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) to those of other domestic and wild vertebrate hosts to determine how host identity, diet,

Effect of different running protocols on bone morphology and microarchitecture of the forelimbs in a male Wistar rat model.

BackgroundIt is accepted that the metabolic response of bone tissue depends on the intensity of the mechanical loads, but also on the type and frequency of stress applied to it.Physical exercise such as running involves stresses which, under certain conditions, have been shown to have the best osteogenic effects.However, at high intensity, it can b
