One of the challenges in direct conversion Doppler radar lies in the dc offset resulted from antenna coupling. The dc offset may saturate the baseband amplifiers, preventing sufficient amplification of the received signal. In this work, a Coupling-Cancellation-Antenna (CCA) was implemented in the radar front end to enhance radar detection accuracy by minimizing the TX-RX antenna coupling. The idea is to have two transmitting antennas fed by signals with 180° phase difference such that the two signals cancel at the RX antenna. As a result, a larger receiver gain can be used to improve the signal to noise ratio without saturating the baseband output. Experimental validations of the CCA concept demonstrate 37-dB reduction in the TX-RX coupling. Furthermore, the CCA method reduces the detection error from 15.8% to 2.4%.

A Link Between Multiuser MMSE and Canonical Correlation Analysis
Recent work has shown that repetition coding followed by interleaving induces signal structure that can be exploited to separate multiple co-channel user transmissions, without need for pilots or coordination/synchronization between the users. This is accomplished via a statistical learning technique known as canonical correlation analysis (CCA), which works even when the channels are time-varying. Previous analysis has established that it is possible to identify the user signals up to complex scaling in the noiseless case. This letter goes one important step further to show that CCA in fact yields the linear MMSE estimate of the user signals up to complex scaling, without using any explicit training. Instead, CCA relies only on the repetition and interleaving structure. This is particularly appealing in asynchronous ad-hoc and unlicensed setups, where tight user coordination is not practical.

The Internet has become the central source of information and communication in modern society. Congestion control algorithms (CCAs) are critical for the stability of the Internet: ensuring that users can fairly and efficiently share the network. Over the past 30 years, researchers and Internet content providers have proposed and deployed dozens of new CCAs designed to keep up with the growing demands of faster networks, diverse applications, and mobile users. Without tools to understand this growing heterogeneity in CCAs deployed on the Internet, the fairness of the Internet is at stake. Towards understanding this growing heterogeneity, we develop CCAnalyzer, a tool to determine what CCA a particular web service deploys, outperforming previous classifiers in accuracy and efficiency. With CCAnalyzer, we show that new CCAs, both known and unknown, have widespread deployment on the Internet today, including a recently proposed CCA by Google: BBRv1. Next, we develop the first model of BBRv1, and prove BBRv1 can be very unfair to legacy loss-based CCAs, an alarming finding given the prolific deployment of BBRv1. Consequently, we argue the need for a better methodology for determining if a new CCA is safe to deploy on the Internet today. We describe how the typical methodology testing for equal-rate fairness (every user gets the same bandwidth) is both an unachievable goal and ultimately, not the right threshold for determining if a new CCA is safe to deploy alongside others. Instead of equal-rate fairness, we propose a new metric we call, harm, and argue for a harm-based threshold. Lastly, we present RayGen, a novel framework for evaluating interactions between heterogeneous CCAs. RayGen uses a genetic algorithm to efficiently explore the large state space of possible workloads and network settings when two CCAs compete. With a small budget of experiments, RayGen finds more harmful scenarios than a parameter sweep and random search.more » « less

Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a technique for measuring the association between two multivariate data matrices. A regularized modification of canonical correlation analysis (RCCA) which imposes an [Formula: see text] penalty on the CCA coefficients is widely used in applications with high-dimensional data. One limitation of such regularization is that it ignores any data structure, treating all the features equally, which can be ill-suited for some applications. In this article we introduce several approaches to regularizing CCA that take the underlying data structure into account. In particular, the proposed group regularized canonical correlation analysis (GRCCA) is useful when the variables are correlated in groups. We illustrate some computational strategies to avoid excessive computations with regularized CCA in high dimensions. We demonstrate the application of these methods in our motivating application from neuroscience, as well as in a small simulation example.more » « less

Multiview analysis aims to extract common information from data entities across different domains (e.g., acoustic, visual, text). Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is one of the classic tools for this problem, which estimates the shared latent information via linear transforming the different views of data. CCA has also been generalized to the nonlinear regime, where kernel methods and neural networks are introduced to replace the linear transforms. While the theoretical aspects of linear CCA are relatively well understood, nonlinear multiview analysis is still largely intuition-driven. In this work, our interest lies in the identifiability of shared latent information under a nonlinear multiview analysis framework. We propose a model identification criterion for learning latent information from multiview data, under a reasonable data generating model. We show that minimizing this criterion leads to identification of the latent shared information up to certain indeterminacy. We also propose a neural network based implementation and an efficient algorithm to realize the criterion. Our analysis is backed by experiments on both synthetic and real data.more » « less

Latash, Mark L. (Ed.)This chapter reviews major principles of neural control of movement proposed by N. A. Bernstein based on his biomechanical studies of human movements and published in his 1947 book ‘On Construction of Movements’. These principles include the hierarchical organization of the motor control system; synergistic sensorimotor control; the principle of sensory corrections, and the principles of repetition without repetition and fixating and subsequent releasing kinematic degrees of freedom during motor skill acquisition. These principles simplify control of the musculoskeletal system with redundant degrees of freedom and unpredictable effects of reactive and muscle forces arising in multi-segment kinematic chains. We also discuss the relevant contemporary research that has been inspired by and further developed Bernstein’s ideas. We demonstrate, in particular, examples of complex muscle and kinematic synergies organized by different levels of the motor control system, consequences of loss of proprioceptive sensory corrections on movement coordination, and emergence of economical and stable kinematic and muscle invariant movement characteristics in the process of skill acquisition by trials and errors. We conclude this chapter with motor control related parables told by N. A. Bernstein to one of the authors (VMZ).more » « less
