Radio Frequency Interference Detection for Passive Remote Sensing Using Eigenvalue Analysis

Radio frequency interference (RFI) can corrupt passive remote sensing measurements taken with microwave radiometers. With the increasingly utilized spectrum and the push for larger bandwidth radiometers, the likelihood of RFI contamination has grown significantly. In this work, an eigenvalue-based algorithm is developed to detect the presence of RFI and provide estimates of RFI-free radiation levels. Simulated tests show that the proposed detector outperforms conventional kurtosis-based RFI detectors in the low-to-medium interference-to-noise-power-ratio (INR) regime under continuous wave (CW) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) RFIs.

Studies in Perturbation Theory. XI. Lower Bounds to Energy Eigenvalues, Ground State, and Excited States

The bracketing theorem in the partitioning technique for solving the Schrödinger equation may be used in principle to determine upper and lower bounds to energy eigenvalues. Practical lower bounds of any accuracy desired may be evaluated by utilizing the properties of ``inner projections'' on finite manifolds in the Hilbert space. The method is here applied to the ground state and excited states of a Hamiltonian H=H(sub 0)+V having a positive definite perturbation V. Even if inspiration is derived from the method of intermediate Hamiltonians, the final results are of bracketing type and independent of this approach. The method is numerically illustrated in some accompanying papers.

Lower Bounds to Energy Eigenvalues for the Stark Effect in a Rigid Rotator

Upper and lower bounds have been calculated for the energy levels of a rigid rotator in an electric field, in order to study the problems associated with the use of the partitioning method for bracketing an eigenvalue of the Schrödinger equation. Results of arbitrarily high accuracy are possible in this example.
