Although single-acquisition phase-sensitive SSFP can provide fat-suppressed images in short scan time, phase errors, especially spatially-dependent phase shift, caused by a variety of factors may result in misplacement of fat and water voxels. In this paper, a novel phase correction algorithm was used to calibrate those phase errors during image reconstruction. This algorithm corrects phase by region growing, employing both the magnitude and the phase information of image pixels. Phantom and in vivo imagings were performed to validate the technique. As a result, excellent fat-suppressed images were acquired by using single-acquisition phase-sensitive SSFP with phase correction.展开更多

The compensation of the amplitude spectrum within a reliable frequency range of the seismic record is performed in the S domain to restore the amplitude spectrum of reflection. We use spectral simulation methods to fit the time-dependent amplitude spectrum and compensate for the amplitude attenuation owing to absorption. We use phase scanning to select the time-, space-, and frequencydependent phases correction based on the parsimony criterion and eliminate the residual phase effect of the wavelet in the S domain. The method does not directly calculate the Q value; thus, it can be applied to the case of variable Q. The comparison of the theory model and field data verify that the proposed method can recover the amplitude spectrum of the strata reflectivity, while eliminating the effect of the residual phase of the wavelet. Thus, the wavelet approaches the zero-phase wavelet and, the seismic resolution is improved.展开更多

Even in the known structure-preserving methods such as the symplectic method, the inherent conser- vation law in the frequency domain is hardly conserved. By considering a mathematical pendulum model, a Stormer-Verlet scheme is first constructed in a Hamiltonian frame- work. The conservation law of the StSrmer-Verlet scheme is derived, including the total energy expressed in the time domain and periodicity in the frequency domain. To track the structure-preserving properties of the Stormer-Verlet scheme associated with the con- servation law, the motion of the mathematical pendulum is simulated with different time step lengths. The numerical results illustrate that the StSrmer-Verlet scheme can preserve the total energy of the model but cannot preserve periodicity at all. A phase correction is performed for the StSrmer-Verlet scheme. The results imply that the phase correction can improve the conservative property of periodicity of the Stormer-Verlet scheme.展开更多

In this scheme, input data bit-stream is split into many groups with length M. Each group is then mapped into a word of width M and then utihzed to select one sequence from 2u-2 DoCS sequences each with length L. After that, the selected sequence is modulated on carrier in quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） mode. In addition, a new method named forward phase correction （FPC） is put forward for carrier recovery. Theoretical analysis and bit-error-ratio（BER） experiment results indicate that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum（DSSS） scheme both in bandwidth efficiency and processing gain of the receiver.展开更多

The averaged coherence factor was proposed at first and used as a metric to evaluate phase aberration correction. By maximizing the averaged coherence factor, the time delay parameter of each channel was adjusted. A new set of coherence factors was calculated and the corrected data was optimized to form the final B-mode image. The simulations on point targets and a cyst phantom showed that the proposed method outperformed the nearest neighboring cross correlation method and conventional coherence-weighting method, and the lateral resolution and contrast ratio was improved by approximately 0.24mm and 18dB respectively. The proposed method combined the advantages of phase error correction and coherence-weighting, which could improve imaging qualities effectively in medical ultrasound.展开更多

Using this type of receiver, the satellite and receiver clock errors can be eliminated simultaneously by forming between antenna single-differences, which is equivalent to the conventional double-difference model. However, current multi-antenna synchronized global navigation satellite system receiver products have not fully realized their potential to achieve better accuracy, efficiency, and broader applications. This paper introduces the conceptual design and derivable products of multi-antenna synchronized global navigation satellite system receivers involving the aspects of attitude determination, multipath effect mitigation, phase center variation correction, and ground-based carrier phase wind- up calibration. Through case studies, the advantages of multi-antenna synchronized global navigation satellite system receivers in high-precision positioning applications are demonstrated.展开更多
