The paper discusses the relationships between electrical and affine differential geometry quantities, establishing a link between frequency and time derivatives of voltage, through the utilization of affine geometric invariants. Based on…
Laser synchronization is a technique that locks the wavelength of a free-running laser to that of the reference laser, thereby enabling synchronous changes in the wavelengths of the two lasers. This technique is of crucial importance in…
A wireless acoustic sensor network records audio signals with sampling time and sampling rate offsets between the audio streams, if the analog-digital converters (ADCs) of the network devices are not synchronized. Here, we introduce a new…
Conventional analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit designs heavily rely on manual effort, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This paper presents a fully automated design methodology for Successive Approximation Register (SAR)…
The two output signals of quadrature phase interferometers allow to benefit both from the high sensitivity of interferometry (working inside a fringe) and from an extended input range (counting fringes). Their calibration to reach a linear…
There exist several methods developed for the canonical change point problem of detecting multiple mean shifts, which search for changes over sections of the data at multiple scales. In such methods, estimation of the noise level is often…
We analyze the problem of quantum-limited estimation of a stochastically varying phase of a continuous beam (rather than a pulse) of the electromagnetic field. We consider both non-adaptive and adaptive measurements, and both dyne detection…
This paper derives accuracy standards for model gravitational waveforms required to ensure proper use of the Allen $\chi^2$ discriminator in gravitational wave (GW) data analysis. These standards are different from previously established…
We describe a new scheme for the measurement of mean photon flux at an arbitrary optical sideband frequency using homodyne detection. Experimental implementation of the technique requires an AOM in addition to the homodyne detector, and…
The goal of this thesis was to develop a procedure to optimize the mirror suppression, which reduces the dynamic range of the Fast Fourier Transform spectrometers (FFTS), and implement this procedure in the Field Programmable Gate Array…
We demonstrate that extremely rapid and weak periodic and non-periodic signals can easily be detected by using the autocorrelation of intensity as a function of time. We use standard radio-astronomical observations that have artificial…
A method is presented for analysing over-determined sets of clock frequency comparison data involving standards based on a number of different reference transitions. This least-squares adjustment procedure, which is based on the method used…
In this work, the problem of signal parameter estimation from measurements acquired by a low-complexity analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with $1$-bit output resolution and an unknown quantization threshold is considered. Single-comparator…
This paper focuses on channel estimation for mmWave MIMO systems with 1-bit spatial sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The channel estimation performance with 1-bit spatial sigma-delta ADCs depends on the quantization noise…
We attempt to measure possible miscalibration of the wavelength scale of the VLT-UVES spectrograph. We take spectra of QSO HE0515-4414 through the UVES iodine cell which contains thousands of well-calibrated iodine lines and compare these…
This paper proposes a high-precision time measurement method based on digital frequency-domain phase-fitting (DFPF) by using the digitized nuclear pulses. The averaging effect inherent in the frequency-domain cross-correlation and…
We analyze the phase-noise measurement methods in which correlation and averaging is used to reject the background noise of the instrument. All the known methods make use of a mixer, used either as a saturated phase detector or as a linear…
Wearable devices permit the continuous monitoring of biological processes, such as blood glucose metabolism, and behavior, such as sleep quality and physical activity. The continuous monitoring often occurs in epochs of 60 seconds over…
A wideband phase comparator for precise measurements of phase difference of high current shunts has been developed at INRIM. The two-input digital phase detector is realized with a precision wideband digitizer connected through a pair of…
This work presents a suite of measurement techniques for characterizing the dielectric loss tangent across a wide frequency range from $\sim$1 GHz to 150 GHz using the same test chip. In the first method, we fit data from a microwave…
