However, information retrieval methods are important because acquisition speed, scanning mode, image quality, and radiation dose depend on them. Phase-stepping （PS） is a widely used method to retrieve information, while angular signal radiography （ASR） is a newly established method. In this manuscript, signal-to-noise ratios （SNRs） of ASR are compared with that of PS. Numerical experiments are performed to validate theoretical results. SNRs comparison shows that for refraction and scattering images ASR has higher SNR than PS method, while for absorption image both methods have same SNR. Therefore, our conclusions would have guideline in future preclinical and clinical applications.展开更多

Firstly,the Gabor transformation is used as TF transformation in the system and a sorting model is established under undetermined condition; then the SNR adaptive pivot threshold setting method is used to find the TF single source. The mixed matrix is estimated according to the TF matrix of single source. Lastly,signal sorting is realized through improved subspace projection combined with relative power deviation of source. Theoretical analysis and simulation results showthat this algorithm has good effectiveness and performance.展开更多

However, the detection effect of current SR models is still unsatisfactory. Here, a coupled tri-stable stochastic resonance （CTSSR） model is proposed to further increase the output signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and improve the detection effect of SR. The effects of parameters a, b, c, and r in the proposed resonance system on the SNR are studied, by which we determine a set of parameters that is relatively optimal to implement a comparison with other classical SR models. Numerical experiment results indicate that this proposed model performs better in weak signal detection applications than the classical ones with merits of higher output SNR and better anti-noise capability.展开更多

In this paper, an improved residual carrier frequency offset estimation algorithm based on a priori probability aided （APPA） phase estimation is proposed. A carrier synchronization loop that combines the iterative turbo decoder and the phase estimator together is constructed, where the extrinsic information obtained from the Turbo decoder is used to aid an iterative phase estimation process. The simulation results show that the algorithm performs successfully under very low SNR conditions （for example, less than -7.4 dB） with large frequency offset and phase error and the performance of this algorithm is very close to the optimally synchronized system.展开更多
