CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems (2008)
Journal Article
Wei, B., Sharif, M., Binnie, D., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2008). CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems. The Mediterranean journal of electronics and communications, 4, 37-45

Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) techniques can be used in Pseudo-Noise (PN) code acquisition in Spread Spectrum (SS) communication systems, and all the CFAR techniques perform well in homogeneous background PN code acquisition. However, in non-homog... Read More about CFAR Adaptive PN Code acquisition for DSSS Systems.

Efficient bidirectional conversion between RM and DFRM expansions (2008)
Journal Article
Xu, H., Yang, M., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2008). Efficient bidirectional conversion between RM and DFRM expansions. The Mediterranean journal of electronics and communications, 4, 84-89

A number of different representations of the Boolean function are used in order to find a good circuit representation in terms of area, speed and power performance. In this paper, an effective decomposition method is proposed for the bidirectional tr... Read More about Efficient bidirectional conversion between RM and DFRM expansions.

Techniques for dual forms of Reed-Muller expansion conversion. (2008)
Journal Article
Yang, M., Wang, L. Y., Tong, J. R., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2008). Techniques for dual forms of Reed-Muller expansion conversion. Integration, the VSLI Journal, 41, 113-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vlsi.2007.02.001

Dual forms of Reed-Muller (DFRM) are implemented in OR/XNOR forms, which are based on the features of coincidence operation. Map folding and transformation techniques are proposed for the conversion between Boolean and DFRM expansions. However, map t...

Dual form of Reed-Muller (DFRM) expansions are implemented in OX/XNOR logic, which are based on the features of coincidence operation and are known as fixed polarity Canonical OR-Coincidence (COC) expansions. An efficient minimization method is propo... Read More about Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions.

Dual Form of Reed-Muller (DFRM) expansions with fixed poarity are derived from Reed-Muller (RM) expansions by using the operation of Kronecker matrix products. An efficient decomposition method is proposed based on the formulation. The method can be... Read More about An efficient transformation method for DFRM expansions..

Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Wei, B., Sharif, M., Binnie, D., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. In Proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems (573-576)

Performance of two pseudonoise (PN) code detectors was tested. Cell averaging (CA) and order Statistics (OS) constant false alarm rates (CFAR) were analysed against mean acquisition time (MAT) and against the probability of detection (Pd). Both detec...

Optimal expression for fixed polarity dual Reed-Muller forms. (2007)
Journal Article
Faraj, K., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). Optimal expression for fixed polarity dual Reed-Muller forms. WSEAS Transactions on Circuits and Systems, 6, 364-371

An algorithm for converting between products of sum (POS) and fixed polarity dual Reed-Muller (FPDRM) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm is used to compute the coefficients of POS from FPDRM directly from the truth table of POS. This algorithm...

This paper outlines two variations of Decision Digrams, the 2VBDD and 2VRMBDD. It outlines the background for BDD and RMBDD expanded with respect to one variable and the new 2V(RM)BDD when the expansion is with respect to two variables. Examples are...
