Experimental validation of an eddy current probe dedicated to the multi-frequency imaging of bore holes

This paper deals with the experimental characterization of an array probe dedicated to the eddy current imaging of sub-millimetric surface breaking defects appearing in bore holes of metallic parts. The probe is constituted of a large inducer…

Performance bounds in terms of estimation and resolution and applications in array processing

This manuscript concerns the performance analysis in signal processing and consists into two parts : First, we study the lower bounds in characterizing and predicting the estimation performance in terms of mean square error (MSE). The lower bounds…

Self-powered ultra-low power DC-DC converter for RF energy harvesting

In this paper, an autonomous low voltage and ultra-low power DC-DC converter is presented. This novel topology is inspired from the classical Armstrong oscillator structure. In addition to be self-powered and autonomous, this converter is suitable…

Derivation of the bias of the normalized sample covariance matrix in a heterogeneous noise with application to low rank STAP filter

In a previous work, we have developed a low-rank (LR) spatio-temporal adaptive processing (STAP) filter when the disturbance is modeled as the sum of a low-rank spherically invariant random vector (SIRV) clutter and a zero-mean white Gaussian noise…

Research on key techniques in passive optical networks and optical grid applications

The bandwidth-intensive applications, such as interactive video and multimedia services, have further increased the demand of bandwidth. Thus wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) is viewed as a promising candidate to…
