We consider the problem of target localization by a
network of passive sensors. When an unknown target emits an
acoustic or a radio signal, its position can be localized with multiple
sensors using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) information.
In this paper, we consider the maximum likelihood formulation
of this target localization problem and provide efficient convex
relaxations for this nonconvex optimization problem.We also propose
a formulation for robust target localization in the presence of
sensor location errors. Two Cramer-Rao bounds are derived corresponding
to situations with and without sensor node location errors.
Simulation results confirm the efficiency and superior performance
of the convex relaxation approach as compared to the
existing least squares based approach when large sensor node location
errors are present.
Libsvm is a simple, easy-to-use, and efficient software for SVM
classification and regression. It solves C-SVM classification, nu-SVM
classification, one-class-SVM, epsilon-SVM regression, and nu-SVM
regression. It also provides an automatic model selection tool for
C-SVM classification.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD810 is a composite and HDTV compatible, current
feedback, video operational amplifier, ideal for use in systems
such as multimedia, digital tape recorders and video cameras.
The 0.1 dB flatness specification at bandwidth of 30 MHz
(G = +2) and the differential gain and phase of 0.02% and
0.04° (NTSC) make the AD810 ideal for any broadcast quality
video system. All these specifications are under load conditions
of 150 ? (one 75 ? back terminated cable).
The AD810 is ideal for power sensitive applications such as
video cameras, offering a low power supply current of 8.0 mA
max. The disable feature reduces the power supply current to
only 2.1 mA, while the amplifier is not in use, to conserve
power. Furthermore the AD810 is specified over a power supply
range of ±5 V to ±15 V.
transimpedance linearization circuitry. This allows it to drive
video loads with excellent differential gain and phase perfor
mance on only 50 mW of power. The AD8001 is a current
feedback amplifier and features gain flatness of 0.1 dB to 100 MHz
while offering differential gain and phase error of 0.01% and
0.025°. This makes the AD8001 ideal for professional video
electronics such as cameras and video switchers. Additionally,
the AD8001’s low distortion and fast settling make it ideal for
buffer high-speed A-to-D converters.
The AD8001 offers low power of 5.5 mA max (VS = ±5 V) and
can run on a single +12 V power supply, while being capable of
delivering over 70 mA of load current. These features make this
amplifier ideal for portable and battery-powered applications
where size and power are critical.
The outstanding bandwidth of 800 MHz along with 1200 V/μs
of slew rate make the AD8001 useful in many general purpose
high-speed applications where dual power supplies of up to ±6 V
and single supplies from 6 V to 12 V are needed. The AD8001 is
available in the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
Recently millimeter-wave bands have been postu-
lated as a means to accommodate the foreseen extreme bandwidth
demands in vehicular communications, which result from the
dissemination of sensory data to nearby vehicles for enhanced
environmental awareness and improved safety level. However, the
literature is particularly scarce in regards to principled resource
allocation schemes that deal with the challenging radio conditions
posed by the high mobility of vehicular scenarios
The understanding of electrical system design has become increas-
ingly important, not only to the electrical designer, but to safety, plant
and project engineers as well. With the advent of high energy costs, plant
and project engineers have needed to become more aware of electrical
systems. Both safety and energy efficiency will be covered in this text
along with practical application problems for industrial and commercial
electrical design.

The contemporary view of the Smart City is very much static and infrastructure-
centric, focusing on installation and subsequent management of Edge devices and
analytics of data provided by these devices. While this still allows a more efficient
management of the city’s infrastructure, optimizations and savings in different do-
mains, the existing architectures are currently designed as single-purpose, vertically
siloed solutions. This hinders active involvement of a variety of stakeholders (e.g.,
citizens and businesses) who naturally form part of the city’s ecosystem and have an
inherent interest in jointly coordinating and influencing city-level activities.
In recent years, cellular voice networks have transformed into powerful packet-switched
access networks for both voice communication and Internet access. Evolving Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) networks and first Long Term Evolution
(LTE) installations now deliver bandwidths of several megabits per second to individual
users, and mobile access to the Internet from handheld devices and notebooks is no
longer perceived as slower than a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable connection.
Bandwidth and capacity demands, however, keep rising because of the increasing number
of people using the networks and because of bandwidth-intensive applications such as
video streaming. Thus, network manufacturers and network operators need to find ways
to continuously increase the capacity and performance of their cellular networks while
reducing the cost.
From the transition of analog to digital communication along with seamless mobility and
high computing power of small handheld devices, the wireless communications industry has
seen tremendous changes leading to the integration of several telecommunication networks,
devices and services over last 30 years. The rate of this progress and growth has increased
particularly in the past decade because people no longer use their devices and networks for
voice only, but demand bundle contents such as data download/streaming, HDTV, HD video ,
3D video conferencing with higher efficiency, seamless connectivity, intelligence, reliability
and better user experience. Although the challenges facing service providers and
telecommunication companies differ by product, region, market size, and their areas of
concentration but time to market, efficient utilization of their assets and revenue expansion,
have impacted significantly how to manage and conduct their business while maintaining
sufficient margin.
