Reconfigurable Pixel-Layer Isolator for Frequency-Tunable On-Frequency Repeaters

Daniel Rodrigo Lopez

The maximum gain in on-frequency repeaters is limited by the isolation level between their two antennas due to close-loop stability conditions. In this letter, a novel pixel-layer isolator for tunable on-frequency repeaters is presented. The scattered fiel ...

Sparse Reverberant Audio Source Separation via Reweighted Analysis

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel

We propose a novel algorithm for source signals estimation from an underdetermined convolutive mixture assuming known mixing filters. Most of the state-of-the-art methods are dealing with anechoic or short reverberant mixture, assuming a synthesis sparse p ...

Wave propagation across rock joints filled with viscoelastic medium using modified recursive method

Jian Zhao, Jianbo Zhu, Wei Wu

Rock joints have significant effects on wave propagation. When the joints are filled with saturated sand or clay, the filling materials exhibit viscoelastic behavior on wave propagation. In the present study, wave propagation across single and multiple par ...
