This program is a new way to estimate the coherence function. It s based on the MVDR and is much more reliable than the classical Welch s method implemented in MATLAB.
There are 2 programs: the main program called coherence_MVDR.m and and an example, called illustrate.m, that calls the main function to show how it works. There also included 2 papers that we published on this algorithm.
The purpose of this project is to explore the issues and implementation of a multiple instruction stream, single data stream processor. We are running two instruction streams on two CPUs which share an address space. The processors share a second level cache, and maintain coherence at the L1 cache with a write-invalidate policy. The L2 cache is two-way set associative, with a block size of 8 words, and a total capacity of 512 words.
The investigation of the propagation channel is becoming more and more important in mod-
ern wireless communication. The demand for spectral efficiency motivates exploitation of
all channels that can possibly be used for communications. Nowadays, a common trend for
designing physical layer algorithms is to adapt the transceiving strategy, either by maximizing
the diversity gains or by utilizing the coherence of the channels to improve the signal-to-noise
power ratio.
