The current generation of radio and millimeter telescopes, particularly the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), offers enormous advances in observing capabilities. While these advances represent an unprecedented opportunity to facilitate…
The abundance of functional observations in scientific endeavors has led to a significant development in tools for functional data analysis (FDA). This kind of data comes with several challenges: infinite-dimensionality of function spaces,…
Considering the ambiguousness of the discrete-time phase retrieval problem to recover a signal from its Fourier intensities, one can ask the question: what additional information about the unknown signal do we need to select the correct…
The Fast Folding Algorithm (FFA) is a phase-coherent search technique for periodic signals. It has rarely been used in radio pulsar searches, having been historically supplanted by the less computationally expensive Fast Fourier Transform…
Several strategies in phase retrieval are unified by an iterative "difference map" constructed from a pair of elementary projections and a single real parameter $\beta$. For the standard application in optics, where the two projections…
We experimentally demonstrate how to solve the phase problem of diffraction using multi-wave interference with standard diffraction experimental setups without the need for taking any auxiliary data. In particular, we show that the phases…
I present the Automated Line Fitting Algorithm, ALFA, a new code which can fit emission line spectra of arbitrary wavelength coverage and resolution, fully automatically. In contrast to traditional emission line fitting methods which…
Phase retrieval is the numerical procedure of recovering a complex-valued signal from knowledge about its amplitude and some additional information. Here, an indirect registration procedure, based on the large deformation diffeomorphic…
ALMA provides the necessary spatial, temporal and spectral resolution to explore central questions in contemporary solar physics with potentially far-reaching implications for stellar atmospheres and plasma physics. It can uniquely…
Low-noise phased arrays are essential for the next generation of microwave and submillimetre wave astronomy. We analyze their behaviour from a functional perspective, and show that their operation is intimately related to the mathematical…
The ability of a radar to discriminate in both range and Doppler velocity is completely characterized by the ambiguity function (AF) of its transmit waveform. Mathematically, it is obtained by correlating the waveform with its…
A variational approach to reconstruction of phase and amplitude of a complex-valued object from Poissonian intensity observations is developed. The observation model corresponds to the typical optical setups with a phase modulation of…
We present a methodology for detecting non-linearities in data sets based on the characterization of the structural features of the Fourier phase maps. A Fourier phase map is a 2D set of points $M= \{(\phi_{\vec{k}}, \phi_{\vec{k} +…
A phase retrieval technique using a spatial light modulator (SLM) and a phase diffuser for a fast reconstruction of smooth wave fronts is demonstrated experimentally. Diffuse illumination of a smooth test object with the aid of a phase…
We present a Bayesian approach to calculating the coefficients that convert the outputs of ALMA 183 GHz water-vapour radiometers into estimates of path fluctuations which can then be used to correct the observed interferometric…
Characterizing the phase space distribution of particle beams in accelerators is a central part of accelerator understanding and performance optimization. However, conventional reconstruction-based techniques either use simplifying…
This paper considers the recovery of continuous time signals from the magnitude of its samples. It uses a combination of structured modulation and oversampling and provides sufficient conditions on the signal and the sampling system such…
Microwave, submillimetre-wave, and far-infrared phased arrays are of considerable importance for astronomy. We consider the behaviour imaging phased arrays and interferometric phased arrays from a functional perspective. It is shown that…
Pilot-aided channel estimation is nowadays a standard component in each wireless receiver enabling coherent transmission of complex-valued constellations, only affected by noise and interference. Whenever these disturbances are sufficiently…
We introduce the Fourier Learning Machine (FLM), a neural network (NN) architecture designed to represent a multidimensional nonharmonic Fourier series. The FLM uses a simple feedforward structure with cosine activation functions to learn…
