This paper examines the asymptotic (large sample) performance
of a family of non-data aided feedforward (NDA FF) nonlinear
least-squares (NLS) type carrier frequency estimators for burst-mode
phase shift keying (PSK) modulations transmitted through AWGN and
flat Ricean-fading channels. The asymptotic performance of these estimators
is established in closed-form expression and compared with the
modified Cram`er-Rao bound (MCRB). A best linear unbiased estimator
(BLUE), which exhibits the lowest asymptotic variance within the family
of NDA FF NLS-type estimators, is also proposed.
This paper investigates the design of joint frequency
offset and carrier phase estimation of a multi-frequency time division
multiple access (MF-TDMA) demodulator that is applied to
a digital video broadcasting—return channel system via satellite
(DVB-RCS). The proposed joint estimation algorithm is based on
the interpolation technique for two correlation values in the frequency
and phase domains. This simple interpolation technique
can significantly improve frequency and phase resolution capabilities
of the proposed technique without increasing the number of
the correlation values. In addition, the overall block diagram of a
digital communications receiver for DVB-RCS is presented, which
was designed using the proposed estimation algorithms.

In this paper, we consider the problem of filtering in relational
hidden Markov models. We present a compact representation for
such models and an associated logical particle filtering algorithm. Each
particle contains a logical formula that describes a set of states. The
algorithm updates the formulae as new observations are received. Since
a single particle tracks many states, this filter can be more accurate
than a traditional particle filter in high dimensional state spaces, as we
demonstrate in experiments.
In this paper, a new family of Cassinian wave-guides
is proposed, simulating and calculation are finished with CST
Microwave Studio that based on Finite Integral Technique (FIT),
and some results are given. Electromagnetic field mode type of it
is TE, electromagnetic field is stronger near neck region, and
some resonance frequencies appear. The new Cassinian curve
wave-guides will possess higher power than ones of the
rectangular and elliptic wave-guides because the height at the
position where maximal electric field occurs is smaller.
