    • Sub-Nyquist sampling and detection in Costas coded pulse compression radars 

      Hanif, Adnan; Mansoor, Atif Bin; Imran, Ali Shariq (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Modern pulse compression radar involves digital signal processing of high bandwidth pulses modulated with different coding schemes. One of the limiting factors in the radar’s design to achieve desired target range and ...
    • A Two-Stage Deep Modeling Approach to Articulatory Inversion 

      Sabzi Shahrebabaki, Abdolreza; Olfati, Negar; Imran, Ali Shariq; Johnsen, Magne Hallstein; Siniscalchi, Sabato Marco; Svendsen, Torbjørn Karl (Chapter, 2021)
      This paper proposes a two-stage deep feed-forward neural network (DNN) to tackle the acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) problem. DNNs are a viable solution for the AAI task, but the temporal continuity of the estimated ...
