We consider the problem of sequential signal detection in a multichannel system where the number and location of signals is a priori unknown. We assume that the data in each channel are sequentially observed and follow a general non-i.i.d.…
We present two modulation and detection techniques that are designed to allow for efficient equalization for channels that exhibit an arbitrary Doppler spread but no delay spread. These techniques are based on principles similar to…
The novel approach was developed for multilevel signal detection in channels with impulsive non-Gaussian noise. This approach consists of using morphological nonlinear image filtration principles for two dimensional signals. It is a new…
We undertake a detailed numerical study of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance with multisignal inputs. A bistable cubic map is used as the model and we show that it combines the features of a bistable system and a threshold system. A…
In Broadband Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy, the intrinsic limit given by the laser shot noise is seldom reached due to the electronic noise of the front-end amplifier and the intensity fluctuations of the laser source. In this paper we…

Detecting a stationary, stochastic gravitational wave signal is complicated by impossibility of observing the detector noise independently of the signal. One consequence is that we require at least two detectors to observe the signal, which…
There is a growing interest in signaling schemes that operate in the wideband regime due to the crowded frequency spectrum. However, a downside of the wideband regime is that obtaining channel state information is costly, and the capacity…

A distributed detection scheme where the sensors transmit with constant modulus signals over a Gaussian multiple access channel is considered. The deflection coefficient of the proposed scheme is shown to depend on the characteristic…
It is by now established that, remarkably, the addition of noise to a nonlinear system may sometimes facilitate, rather than hamper the detection of weak signals. This phenomenon, usually referred to as stochastic resonance, was originally…
Spectrum sensing is essential in cognitive radio to enable dynamic spectrum access. In many scenarios, primary user signal must be detected reliably in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime under required sensing time. We propose to use…

The paper is devoted to synthesis of recurrent algorithms for detection of stochastic signals given in state space. The structure of the algorithms synthesized is shown to be close to that of the Kalman filter. Analysis of one of the…
Reliable detection and tracking in active sonar require accurate and efficient learning of the acoustic multipath background environment. Conventionally, background learning is performed after transforming measurements into the…
Stochastic resonance describes the utility of noise in improving the detectability of weak signals in certain types of systems. It has been observed widely in natural and engineered settings, but its utility in image classification with…
Stochastic resonance holds much promise for the detection of weak signals in the presence of relatively loud noise. Following the discovery of nondynamical and of aperiodic stochastic resonance, it was recently shown that the phenomenon can…
We propose and demonstrate phonon-number-resolving detection of the multiple local phonon modes in a trapped-ion chain. To mitigate the effect of phonon hopping during the detection process, the probability amplitude of each local phonon…
We study detection and imaging of small reflectors in heavy clutter, using an array of transducers that emits and receives sound waves. Heavy clutter means that multiple scattering of the waves in the heterogeneous host medium is strong and…
We consider the problem of coding for the substring channel, in which information strings are observed only through their (multisets of) substrings. Due to existing DNA sequencing techniques and applications in DNA-based storage systems,…
