Diversity Combining with Imperfect Channel Estimates in Correlated Fading

In this paper, we present a framework for evaluating the bit error probability (BEP) of N_d-branch diversity combining with imperfect channel estimates in correlated fading environments. The estimator structure is based on the maximum likelihood estimate and arises naturally as the sample mean of N_p pilot symbols. Our results show that the diversity order of the system under consideration matches that of an ideal system operating in the same correlated fading environment, regardless of the number of pilot symbols.

How Operational Oceanography Can Benefit from Dynamic Topography Estimates as Derived from Altimetry and Improved Geoid

With a precise geoid, GOCE will allow an estimation of absolute dynamic topography from altimetry. The projected benefits to operational oceanography and its applications are analyzed herein. After a brief overview of operational oceanography, we explain how the new geoids will be used in the future to improve real time altimeter products and to better constrain modelling and data assimilation systems. A significant impact is expected both for mesoscale (e.g. better estimations and forecasts of currents for pollution monitoring, marine safety, offshore industry) and climate (better initialization of coupled ocean/atmosphere models) applications. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Doppler Spectral Moments of Radar Scattering from Turbulent Ionized Wakes

The Doppler frequency shift, and spectral spread, of the radar scattering return from turbulent underdense ionized wakes are explicitly related here to the wake mean velocity, and to the wake turbulent velocity fluctuations and mean velocity gradients, respectively, via spectral moments of the matched-filter receiver response.     

Energetic and Broad Band Spectral Distribution of Emission from Astronomical Jets

Emission from astronomical jets extend over the entire spectral band: from radio to the TeV γ-rays. This implies that various radiative processes are taking place in different regions along jets. Understanding the origin of the emission is crucial in understanding the physical conditions inside jets, as well as basic physical questions such as jet launching mechanism, particle acceleration and jet composition. In this chapter I discuss various radiative mechanisms, focusing on jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and X-ray binaries (XRB) environment. I discuss various models in use in interpreting the data, and the insights they provide.
