Reduced Leakage Synchrophasor Estimation: Hilbert Transform Plus Interpolated DFT

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo

Synchrophasor estimation is typically performed by means of spectral analysis based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Traditional DFT approaches, though, suffer from several uncertainty contributions due to the stationarity assumption, spectral leak ...

Sampling Continuous-time Sparse Signals: A Frequency-domain Perspective

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro

We address the problem of sampling and reconstruction of sparse signals with finite rate of innovation. We derive general conditions under which perfect reconstruction is possible for sampling kernels satisfying Strang-Fix conditions. Previous results on t ...

Towards Generalized FRI Sampling with an Application to Source Resolution in Radioastronomy

Martin Vetterli, Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan

It is a classic problem to estimate continuous-time sparse signals, like point sources in a direction-of-arrival problem, or pulses in a time-of-flight measurement. The earliest occurrence is the estimation of sinusoids in time series using Prony's method. ...

Intrinsic Origin of Superior Catalytic Properties of Tungsten-based Catalysts in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Yao Liu, Sining Yun, Xiao Zhou, Jing Li

To clarify the intrinsic factor of the superior catalytic activity of tungsten (W)-based catalysts in DSSCs, W-based compounds, including W18O49, W2N, WC, and WO3, were prepared as CEs and tested in I-/I-3(-) redox shuttle. A systematic investigation of th ...
