This paper summarizes our attempts to establish a systematic approach that overcomes a key difficulty in sensing wireless microphone signals, namely, the inability for most existing detection methods to effectively distinguish between a wireless microphone signal and a sinusoidal continuous wave (CW). Such an inability has led to an excessively high false alarm rate and thus severely limited the utility of sensing-based cognitive transmission in the TV white space (TVWS) spectrum. Having recognized the root of the difficulty, we propose two potential solutions. The first solution focuses on the periodogram as an estimate of the power spectral density (PSD), utilizing the property that a CW has a line spectral component while a wireless microphone signal has a slightly dispersed PSD. In that approach, we formulate the resulting decision model as an one-sided test for Gaussian vectors, based on Kullback-Leibler distance type of decision statistics. The second solution goes beyond the PSD and looks into the spectral correlation function (SCF), proposing an augmented SCF that is capable of revealing more features in the cycle frequency domain compared with the conventional SCF. Thus the augmented SCF exhibits the key difference between CW and wireless microphone signals. Both simulation results and experimental validation results indicate that the two proposed solutions are promising for sensing wireless microphones in TVWS.
Spectrum sensing is an essential concept in cognitive radio. It exploits the inefficient utilization
of radio frequency spectrum without causing destructive interference to the licensed users. In
this paper we considered spectrum sensing of Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial (DVB-T)
signal in different scenario. We compared various spectrum sensing algorithms that make use of
the second order statistics; the energy detector was also included for comparison. The results
show that it is possible to obtain good detection performance by exploiting the correlation
method.

A Mathematical Approach for Hidden Node Problem in Cognitive Radio NetworksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio (CR) technology has emerged as a realistic solution to the spectrum scarcity
problem in present day wireless networks. A major challenge in CR radio networks is the hidden node
problem, which is the inability of the CR nodes to detect the primary user. This paper proposes energy
detector-based distributed sequential cooperative spectrum sensing over Nakagami-m fading, as a tool to
solve the hidden node problem. The derivation of energy detection performance over Nakagami-m fading
channel is presented. Since the observation represents a random variable, likelihood ratio test (LRT) is
known to be optimal in this type of detection problem. The LRT is implemented using the Neyman-Pearson
Criterion (maximizing the probability of detection but at a constraint of false alarm probability). The
performance of the proposed method has been evaluated both by numerical analysis and simulations. The
effect of cooperation among a group of CR nodes and system parameters such as SNR, detection
threshold and number of samples per CR nodes is investigated. Results show improved detection
performance by implementing the proposed model.

Channel Estimation Techniques in MIMO-OFDM LTE SystemsCauses and Effects of C...IJERA Editor
There is an increasing demand for high data transmission rates with the evolution of the very large scale integration (VLSI) technology. The multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems are used to fulfill these requirements because of their unique properties such as high spectral efficiency, high data rate and resistance towards multipath propagation. MIMO-OFDM systems are finding their applications in the modern wireless communication systems like IEEE 802.11n, 4G and LTE. They also offer reliable communication with the increased coverage area.

This can be estimated with the help of any one of the Training Based, Semiblind and Blind Channel estimation algorithms. This paper presents various channel estimation algorithms, optimization techniques and their effective utilization in MIMO-OFDM for modern wireless LTE systems.

Techniques for Improving BER and SNR in MIMO Antenna for Optimum PerformanceIJMTST Journal
The use of multiple antennas for diversity, including MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is one of the most promising wireless technologies for broadband communication applications. This antenna system is a vital study in today’s wireless communication system especially when the signal propagates through some corrupted environments. In our paper new techniques of improving bit error ratio and signal to noise ratio are discussed. Inter symbol interference is a major limitation of wireless communications. It degrades the performance significantly if the delay spread is comparable or higher than the symbol duration. To remove ISI, equalization needs to be included at the receiver end. This paper discusses the merits of the MIMO system and the techniques used for improving BER performance and SNR. In MIMO wireless communication, an equalizer is used to recover a signal that suffers from Inter symbol Interference (ISI) and the BER characteristics is improved and a good SNR can be obtained. Different equalization techniques are discussed in this paper.

Error Rate Analysis of MIMO System Using V Blast Detection Technique in Fadin...IJERA Editor
Wireless communication system with multi- antenna arrays has been a field of intensive analysis on the last years. The appliance of multiple sending antennas and Receiving Antennas either side will considerably enhance the data rate and rate. The review of the performance limitations of MIMO system becomes vital since it will provide lot ideas in understanding and planning the important life MIMO systems. Vertical Bell Laboratories layered space Time (V-BLAST). The thought behind Multiple Input and Multiple Output system is that the signals on the transmitter antennas at one finish and also the receiver antennas at the opposite finish are correlative in such how that the performance (Bit Error Rate or BER) or the info rate (bits/sec) of the wireless communication system for every MIMO subscriber are improved. During this paper we tend to are proposing a technique that evaluates the performance of V-BLAST MIMO system in several thought of Rayleigh attenuation surroundings to urge higher performance of the system. In V- BLAST MIMO system a number of linear detection techniques will be used for interference cancellation. At this point we are using MMSE-IC for the same.

Spectrum Sensing using Cooperative Energy Detection Method for Cognitive RadioSaroj Dhakal
This document summarizes cooperative spectrum sensing using energy detection in cognitive radio networks. It discusses how cooperative sensing can improve detection performance by exploiting spatial diversity among cognitive radio users. The key points are:
1. Cooperative sensing allows cognitive radio users to share sensing information to make a combined decision that is more accurate than individual decisions. This mitigates issues like multipath fading and shadowing.
2. Energy detection is commonly used for cooperative sensing due to its simplicity. However, its performance depends on noise power uncertainty. Cooperative sensing addresses this by fusing observations from multiple spatially distributed users.
3. The document also discusses challenges in spectrum sensing like hardware requirements, hidden primary users, and detecting spread spectrum
This document examines using a Minimum-Mean-Square-Error (MMSE) adaptive algorithm reception technique for 6th derivative Ultra-wideband (UWB) Gaussian pulse shape signals compared to a conventional UWB Rake receiver. The MMSE adaptive algorithm is more efficient due to its ability to adapt to changes in the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multipath channel model. Performance is evaluated for Direct-Sequence and Time-Hopping transmission schemes over the channel in the presence of narrowband interference and multiple access interference from other UWB users. Simulation results show the MMSE adaptive algorithm receiver has better performance than the UWB Rake receiver due to its adaptability.
Single User Eigenvalue Based Detection For Spectrum Sensing In Cognitive Rad...IJMER
Scarcity of spectrum is the issue that wireless communication technology has to deal with.
Primary user is the licensed user of the spectrum. When primary user is idle or not using the spectrum
secondary user can utilize the spectrum. This sharing of spectrum can be enabled by cognitive radio
(CR) technology. The heart of enabling this technology is spectrum sensing. Spectrum sensing involves
detection of primary signal at very low SNR (in the range of -20 dB), under noise and interference
uncertainty. This requirement makes spectrum sensing, a hard nut to crack. Another major issue in
detection is hidden node problem wherein the node in vicinity of primary transmitter also indicates
absence of the primary signal since it is hidden behind the large object. There are various algorithms
for detection viz. energy detection, matched filter detection, feature detection (cyclostationary
detection, eigen-value based detection etc.) These algorithms have limitations of complexity,
requirement of signal knowledge and detection performance. In this paper the performance of
eigenvalue based detection (EBD) method in presence of noise and low SNR of the received signal has
been evaluated for a single user.

Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.

This document discusses spectrum sensing methods in cognitive radio networks and their impact on quality of service (QoS). It analyzes several spectrum sensing methods including energy detection, covariance-based detection, cyclostationarity feature detection, correlation detection, radio identification based sensing, and matched filtering. These methods are categorized as requiring no prior information, requiring prior information, or being based on cooperation between secondary users. The document notes that imperfect spectrum sensing can degrade QoS for both primary and secondary users. It also discusses how increasing sensing time and frequency improves detection of primary users but reduces data transmission time and degrades QoS for secondary users.
This thesis examines channel estimation techniques for 3GPP LTE downlink. It introduces LTE physical layer specifications including frame structure and reference signals. It describes propagation models and channel models specified for LTE. It then focuses on pilot-assisted channel estimation methods for single-input single-output systems, including least squares and minimum mean square error estimation. Performance is evaluated using bit error rate and symbol error rate. Space-frequency block coding for multiple antenna systems is also discussed along with corresponding channel estimation and decoding.
Spectrum Sensing using Cooperative Energy Detection Method for Cognitive RadioSaroj Dhakal
This document summarizes cooperative spectrum sensing using energy detection in cognitive radio networks. It discusses how cooperative sensing can improve detection performance by exploiting spatial diversity among cognitive radio users. The key points are:
1. Cooperative sensing allows cognitive radio users to share sensing information to make a combined decision that is more accurate than individual decisions. This mitigates issues like multipath fading and shadowing.
2. Energy detection is commonly used for cooperative sensing due to its simplicity. However, its performance depends on noise power uncertainty. Cooperative sensing addresses this by fusing observations from multiple spatially distributed users.
3. The document also discusses challenges in spectrum sensing like hardware requirements, hidden primary users, and detecting spread spectrum
This document examines using a Minimum-Mean-Square-Error (MMSE) adaptive algorithm reception technique for 6th derivative Ultra-wideband (UWB) Gaussian pulse shape signals compared to a conventional UWB Rake receiver. The MMSE adaptive algorithm is more efficient due to its ability to adapt to changes in the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multipath channel model. Performance is evaluated for Direct-Sequence and Time-Hopping transmission schemes over the channel in the presence of narrowband interference and multiple access interference from other UWB users. Simulation results show the MMSE adaptive algorithm receiver has better performance than the UWB Rake receiver due to its adaptability.
Single User Eigenvalue Based Detection For Spectrum Sensing In Cognitive Rad...IJMER
Scarcity of spectrum is the issue that wireless communication technology has to deal with.
Primary user is the licensed user of the spectrum. When primary user is idle or not using the spectrum
secondary user can utilize the spectrum. This sharing of spectrum can be enabled by cognitive radio
(CR) technology. The heart of enabling this technology is spectrum sensing. Spectrum sensing involves
detection of primary signal at very low SNR (in the range of -20 dB), under noise and interference
uncertainty. This requirement makes spectrum sensing, a hard nut to crack. Another major issue in
detection is hidden node problem wherein the node in vicinity of primary transmitter also indicates
absence of the primary signal since it is hidden behind the large object. There are various algorithms
for detection viz. energy detection, matched filter detection, feature detection (cyclostationary
detection, eigen-value based detection etc.) These algorithms have limitations of complexity,
requirement of signal knowledge and detection performance. In this paper the performance of
eigenvalue based detection (EBD) method in presence of noise and low SNR of the received signal has
been evaluated for a single user.

Through this project, the student gained knowledge of WDM and optical fiber technologies.
PureWave White Paper : Multiple Antenna Processing For WiMAXGoing Wimax
Wireless operators face a myriad of obstacles, but fundamental to the performance of any system are the propagation characteristics that restrict delivery of signal power, and deployment scenarios that create interference. Broadband applications further exacerbate these problems and continue to create interesting challenges for system designers.
This document proposes and analyzes several algorithms for blind spectrum sensing of OFDM signals in cognitive radio systems. It first shows that the existing cyclic prefix correlation coefficient (CPCC)-based detection algorithm is a special case of the constrained generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) in the absence of multipath. It then develops a new multipath-based constrained GLRT (MP-based C-GLRT) algorithm that exploits multipath correlation and outperforms CPCC-based detection in multipath environments. Combining CPCC- and MP-based C-GLRT algorithms provides further performance improvement. The document also develops a GLRT-based detection algorithm for unsynchronized OFDM signals that achieves near-synchron
Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.
The document experimentally researches the extraneous electromagnetic emissions from computing units in the 15-1000 MHz frequency domain. Measurements were taken of electromagnetic field strength for test signals on monitors. The results showed that cathode ray tube monitors emitted stronger signals than thin film transistor monitors due to the high signal levels needed for operation. Emissions from other computer elements require further research to understand information leakage through electromagnetic signals.
The aim of this paper is to determine the viability of Indoor Optical Wireless Communication System. This paper introduces Visible Light Communication along with its merits, demerits and applications. Then the main characteristics of VLC system are described, around which the project is designed. Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) technique is used in the project in order to enhance the data rate of transmission. Instead of using a system of only one LED and one APD, which transmits only one bit at a time, a system of 4 LEDs and 4 APDs is introduced, which increases the data rates by 300% from the previous case. We observe the signal, noise, SNR, BER etc. across the room dimension. Finally, in the last chapter we summarize our results on the basis of MATLAB simulations and propose some modifications to this model that can be implemented in future.
Channel Overlapping Between IMT-Advanced Users and Fixed Satellite ServiceEECJOURNAL
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new algorithm to mitigate interference between IMT-Advanced base stations and fixed satellite services. The algorithm aims to form nulls in the radiation pattern of base stations towards satellites by extracting null directions using MUSIC algorithm and controlling handover. It studies two mobile users moving around a satellite and simulates calculating the shortest separation distance after identifying critical points. Results show the algorithm can enable good coexistence and spectrum sharing between the different wireless services in the C-band frequency range.
This project implemented a wideband spectrum sensing algorithm using a software-defined radio to detect active signals in the electromagnetic spectrum around SUNY Oswego. The algorithm used hypothesis testing on received signals to identify center frequencies and bandwidths of signals like LTE, aeronautical radio and Earth-space communications. Testing showed the algorithm could accurately detect signals in noise and identify occupied portions of the spectrum between 88-90 MHz and others. Future work could involve networking multiple SDRs to provide real-time spectrum analysis across a wider area.
An Effective Approach for Colour Image Transmission using DWT Over OFDM for B...IJMTST Journal
Image transmission over the fading channels without degrading the perceptual quality is a challenging task while mitigating the power consumption in many fields such as broadband networks, mobile communications, Image sharing and video broadcasting. Also, it is not possible to resend the lost packets every time in many applications such as video broadcasting. Here, an effective approach for color image transmission has been proposed with power saving approach over OFDM system. Experimental results shows that the reception quality of received image is good enough with various peak signal to noise ratios also saved 60% of energy.
Block diagonalization for Multi-user MIMO Beamforming Performance over Rician...IRJET Journal
This document discusses block diagonalization (BD) precoding performance in multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) beamforming systems over Rician fading channels. It begins with an abstract that introduces BD precoding as a linear precoding method for MU-MIMO broadcast channels that transmits interference-free data streams to multiple users by designing beamforming vectors. The document then evaluates BD precoding performance over both Rayleigh and Rician fading channels through simulation. The results show that the Rician fading channel provides better error rate performance than the Rayleigh channel, especially at low Rician factors.
BBPF Technique for Transmitter Noise Reduction in a Site-Shared Wireless Netw...Onyebuchi nosiri
Abstract Infrastructure sharing approach has been adopted by wireless communication service providers as a panacea to reduce the huge cost involved in building new cell sites. The paper was designed at providing adequate solution to mitigate the transmitter noise effect involving downlink frequency of CDMA-2000 in the frequency range (1960-1990MHz) and uplink WCDMA in the frequency range (1920-1980MHz) in a co-located network. The paper further introduced the application of a digital BBPF as a technique to attenuate the significant effects of the transmitter noise. BBPF technique was considered more suitable among the Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters such as Chebyshev I and II, Elliptic and Bessel filters due to its attributes to least amount of phase distortion. Practical measurements conducted in two difference scenarios demonstrated the significant effects of the downlink frequency of CDMA2000 on the uplink frequency of the WCDMA network. A 52dB rejection at 5MHz guard band offset from the low side edge of the pass band was obtained as the undesired signal magnitude required to be attenuated. Conversely, an NCP criterion was introduced to evaluate the various performance characteristics at 52dB which gave rise to amplitude imbalance of 0.03dB, phase error of 0.140 and time delay mismatch of 0.07ns respectively. The values obtained in the study showed that the magnitude specification at 52dB rejection can to a larger extent attenuate the sideband noise components present in the WCDMA receiver front end.

The document discusses transmitter noise reduction in a site-shared wireless network using CDMA2000 and WCDMA networks. It introduces using a digital Butterworth band pass filter (BBPF) technique to attenuate transmitter noise from the CDMA2000 downlink frequency affecting the WCDMA uplink frequency. Measurements showed the CDMA2000 downlink overlapping the WCDMA uplink band by 20MHz, interfering in a co-located setting. The BBPF achieved 52dB rejection at a 5MHz guard band offset, attenuating undesired signals. Noise cancellation performance criteria evaluated the BBPF, obtaining low amplitude imbalance, phase error and time delay mismatch within specifications.
The impact of noise on detecting the arrival angle using the root-WSF algorithmTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This article discusses three standards of Wi-Fi: traditional, current and next-generation Wi-Fi. These standards have been tested for their ability to detect the arrival angle of a noisy system. In this study, we chose to work with an intelligent system whose noise becomes more and more important to detect the desired angle of arrival. However, the use of the weighted subspace fitting (WSF) algorithm was able to detect all angles even for the 5th generation Wi-Fi without any problem, and therefore proved its robustness against noise.

Performance of the IEEE 802.15.4a UWB System using Two Pulse Shaping Techniqu...ijwmn
In Cognitive radio (CR) applications Ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) signals can be designed
such as they can co-exist with licensed primary users. The pulse shape should be adjusted such that the
power spectral characteristics not only meet the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) constrains,
but also mitigate multiple narrow-band interference at the locations of existing primary users. In this
paper, the Parks-McClellan (PM) Algorithm and the Eigen Value Decomposition (EVD) approach for
UWB impulse radio waveform shaping are considered. The power spectral density (PSD) and the bit-errorrate
(BER) performance of the two methods are compared in the presence of single and double narrowband
interference (NBI). The interference rejection capabilities of the two methods are evaluated and
compared for different interference and additive noise levels. In particular, the simulations consider the
coexistence of practical IEEE 802.15.4a UWB systems with both IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN systems
operating at 5.2 GHz and radio location services operating at 8.5 GHz.
Impact of Next Generation Cognitive Radio Network on the Wireless Green Eco s...ijeei-iaes
Land mobile communication is burdened with typical propagation constraints due to the channel characteristics in radio systems.Also,the propagation characteristics vary form place to place and also as the mobile unit moves,from time to time.Hence,the tramsmission path between transmitter and receiver varies from simple direct LOS to the one which is severely obstructed by buildings, foliage and terrain. Multipath propagation and shadow fading effects affect the signal strength of an arbitrary Transmitter-Receiver due to the rapid fluctuations in the phase and amplitude of signal which also determines the average power over an area of tens or hundreds of meters. Shadowing introduces additional fluctuations, so the received local mean power varies around the area –mean. The present paper deals with the performance analysis of impact of next generation wireless cognitive radio network on wireless green eco system through signal and interference level based k coverage probability under the shadow fading effects.
This document summarizes a research paper on using time-domain signal cross-correlation for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems applied to vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). It aims to address spectrum scarcity issues in VANETs by allowing vehicles to opportunistically access TV white space spectrum when licensed spectrum is unavailable. The time-domain symbol cross-correlation technique is analyzed for spectrum sensing performance over Rayleigh fading channels. Analytical expressions for average miss detection probability are derived and simulation results show the probability of miss detection decreases with increasing SNR and number of secondary users. The time-domain symbol cross-correlation method provides good spectrum sensing performance at low SNRs for cognitive radio in VANETs.
The document discusses channel estimation techniques for wireless communication systems. It describes that channel estimation is important for mobile wireless networks as the channel changes over time due to movement. It summarizes that channel estimation algorithms allow the receiver to approximate the time-varying channel impulse response. The document then compares two popular channel estimation algorithms - LMS and RLS. LMS uses estimates of the gradient vector to iteratively minimize the mean square error, while RLS recursively finds filter coefficients to minimize a weighted linear least squares cost function.

Abstract—This paper summarizes our attempts to establish a
systematic approach that overcomes a key difficulty in sensing
wireless microphone signals, namely, the inability for most
existing detection methods to effectively distinguish between a
wireless microphone signal and a sinusoidal continuous wave
(CW). Such an inability has led to an excessively high false
alarm rate and thus severely limited the utility of sensing-based
cognitive transmission in the TV white space (TVWS) spectrum.
Having recognized the root of the difficulty, we propose two
potential solutions. The first solution focuses on the periodogram
as an estimate of the power spectral density (PSD), utilizing
the property that a CW has a line spectral component while
a wireless microphone signal has a slightly dispersed PSD. In
that approach, we formulate the resulting decision model as an
one-sided test for Gaussian vectors, based on Kullback-Leibler
distance type of decision statistics. The second solution goes
beyond the PSD and looks into the spectral correlation function
(SCF), proposing an augmented SCF that is capable of revealing
more features in the cycle frequency domain compared with the
conventional SCF. Thus the augmented SCF exhibits the key
difference between CW and wireless microphone signals. Both
simulation results and experimental validation results indicate
that the two proposed solutions are promising for sensing wireless
microphones in TVWS.
I. INTRODUCTION
The digital TV transition has created the opportunity of
realizing cognitive radio in the TV white space (TVWS)
spectrum [1]-[3]. In the envisioned TVWS systems, TV band
devices (TVBDs) cognitively operate in TV spectrum that is
not used by TV broadcasting services or certain low-power
auxiliary stations such as wireless microphones [4].
Spectrum sensing is a functionality for TVBDs, via signal
processing techniques, to identify the presence or absence
of TV or wireless microphone signals with high reliabil-
ity, thus providing an effective protection mechanism for
those incumbent services. While sensing for TV signals such
as ATSC/NTSC/DVB-T has been demonstrated as feasible
[5]-[8], sensing for wireless microphone signals remains a
challenging problem. Most tested sensing prototypes have
not exhibited satisfactory performance, especially in realistic
environment [5].
There have been a number of works [9]-[15] aiming
at improving the accuracy of wireless microphone sensing.
Among those works, despite of their different methodologies,
a common ingredient is that the background noise is mod-
eled as Gaussian, either white, or colored in the presence
of adjacent channel interference. Since wireless microphone
signal is a narrowband frequency-modulated (FM) waveform
[4], its power spectral density (PSD) or (the magnitude of)
spectral correlation function (SCF) manifests itself like one or
several peaks in the perceptually “smooth” noise background.
Visually, such a situation is like “telling the tree from the
grassland”.
In realistic environment, however, the perhaps unpleasant
reality is that the background noise is seldom pure Gaussian.
As is well known, narrowband interference such as spurious
emissions, unintentional transmissions, leakage, and inter-
modulation are inevitable and universal in electronic devices.
Available regulatory rules do strictly limit their interference
upon communications. For spectrum sensing which is sup-
posed to be capable of detecting weak signals well below
the noise floor, however, the impact of those narrowband
interference sources becomes crucial. Figure 1 illustrates such
a situation.
In retrospect, the main difficulty with wireless microphone
sensing has been largely related to such narrowband interfer-
ence, which “fools” sensing algorithms to erroneously report
that an available TVWS is being used, thus incurring exces-
sively high false alarm rate and severely reducing the amount
of sensed TVWS spectrum. This difficulty has been realized
by researchers mainly from the industry side [7][16][17]. The
foremost task, therefore, is to distinguish between an FM
wireless microphone signal and a sinusoidal continuous wave
(CW) which models the narrowband interference, and the
situation thus is more like “telling the wheat from the chaff”,
in that it is necessary to extract fine features of the received
signal in order to make the correct decision.
Recently, the sensing prototype reported in [8] used an
ad hoc algorithm to decide whether a received narrowband
signal is from a wireless microphone or is a CW from an
interference source. The algorithm computes certain features
of the periodogram of the received signal, and tests those
features against rules that have been fine-tuned via train-
ing several specific makes of wireless microphones. In the
current paper, we attempt to establish a more systematic
understanding of the underlying decision problem, and upon
such a understanding, develop more systematic sensing meth-
ods, that are potentially suited for general scenarios without
extensive training and fine-tuning. Specifically, we focus on

two approaches that are based on the periodogram and an
augmented SCF, respectively. The first approach focuses on
the periodogram, which is an estimate of the PSD, utiliz-
ing the property that a CW has a line spectral component
while a wireless microphone signal, as FM, has a slightly
dispersed PSD. We formulate the resulting decision model
as an one-sided hypothesis test for Gaussian vectors, and
develop the decision statistic based on the Kullback-Leibler
distance between the empirical distribution of the observed
periodogram and the distribution of the periodogram under
CW hypothesis. The second approach goes beyond the PSD
and looks into the SCF. More specifically, we propose to use
an augmented SCF that combines the conventional SCF and
a proposed conjugate SCF. The augmented SCF is capable
of revealing more features in the cycle frequency domain
compared with the conventional SCF, and thus exhibits the
key difference between CW and wireless microphone signals.
As both simulation results and experimental validation results
indicate, the two proposed approaches are promising solutions
for sensing wireless microphones in TVWS.
Some remarks on the relevance of the topic are in order.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of the United
States recently has waived the mandatory requirements on
spectrum sensing, turning to geolocation database access as
the main means of primary service protection for TVWS
systems [1]. However, this change in the policy should not
be deemed as the end of TVWS spectrum sensing. First,
the FCC rules still encourage further research into spectrum
sensing and keep the option of “sensing only” TVBDs, which
sometimes may be more flexible to use than TVBDs that
use only geolocation database access. The sensing threshold
for wireless microphone signals in the FCC rules is set as
−107dBm, which, when considering a 6MHz TV channel
of background thermal noise only and a typical handset RF
circuitry implementation [8], would correspond to a signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) lower than −10dB. Second, in a de-
ployed geolocation database service, it will be useful or even
necessary for the administrators to have some TVBDs or
some surveillance nodes possess the sensing capability, so
that they can, when needed, verify the validity of records in
the database. Third, the understanding we develop herein for
wireless microphone sensing may prove useful under other
scenarios, say, cognitive radio in TVWS of other countries, or
in other spectrum bands for cognitive usage.
The remaining part of this paper is organized as follows.
Section II formulates the decision-theoretic model of wireless
microphone sensing. Sections III and IV respectively develop
the sensing approaches based on the periodogram and an
augmented SCF of the received signals, describe the sens-
ing methods, and present their performance by simulations.
Section V presents the experimental validation of the two
approaches. Section VI concludes the paper.
II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
Since a wireless microphone may choose its carrier fre-
quency rather flexibly, upon receiving the signals from a TV
channel, the first task is to identify the frequency location(s)
of potential wireless microphone signal(s). To accomplish
this task, a simple and effective method (see, e.g., [6][8])
is to compute the periodogram of the signal, scan through
the periodogram to search for peaks that exceed a certain
prescribed threshold. In order to focus our attention on the
core problem, we assume that the frequency scan has been
done successfully, and that for each thus identified spectral
peak, the resulting binary hypothesis testing problem is
H1 (wireless microphone) :
x(t) = A cos 2πfct + 2πβ
t
0
m(τ)dτ + ϕ + w(t), (1)
H0 (CW) :
x(t) = A cos(2πfct + ϕ) + w(t). (2)
In the problem formulation, A denotes the carrier magnitude,
fc denotes the carrier frequency, and ϕ denotes the signal
phase uncertainty, which may be deemed as uniformly dis-
tributed in [0, 2π). For the FM wireless microphone signal,
m(t) represents the message which may be the voice of
the speaker, and β is the frequency deviation, whose value
determines the degree of dispersion of the resulting FM
spectrum. The noise w(t) is modeled as zero-mean white
3. Gaussian, and in this paper we do not consider the issue of
colored noise due to adjacent channel leakage. Inspecting the
problem formulation, we clearly see that its key distinction
from the existing works is that the null hypothesis H0 is no
longer pure Gaussian noise, but contains a CW component,
which closely captures the ambiguity due to the narrowband
interference encountered in realistic TV channels [7][17][8].
Since the message m(t) is a random process, the
maximum-likelihood (ML) detector would be of an
estimator-correlator architecture, which first forms the
minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) estimate of
A cos 2πfct + 2πβ
t
0
m(τ)dτ + ϕ as if the actual
hypothesis is H1, and then treats the estimated ˆm(t) as the
actual message m(t) to compute the likelihood ratio between
the two hypotheses [18]. In reality, however, since the prior
statistical knowledge of m(t) is sophisticated and usually
unavailable, and the signal part is typically weak compared
with the noise, it is hardly feasible to implement the ML
detector with tolerable complexity. Therefore, in this work,
we turn to suboptimal approaches to the problem.
In order to process the received signal digitally, we need
to down-convert, low-pass filter, and sample x(t). Denote by
fs the sampling rate for low-pass filtered baseband signal,
and let Ts = 1/fs. We have the discrete-time version of the
hypothesis testing problem (1) (2) as
H1 (wireless microphone) :
x[n] =
A
2
ej(2πβ nTs
0
m(τ)dτ+ϕ) + w[n], (3)
H0 (CW) :
x[n] =
A
2
ejϕ
+ w[n]. (4)
Herein w[·] represents the bandlimited white circularly-
symmetric complex Gaussian noise, with variance denoted by
σ2
. The SNR is therefore SNR = A2
/(4σ2
).
Remark 1: In this paper, we do not consider the impact
of multipath fading on sensing. On one hand, even without
multipath fading, the hypothesis testing problem (3) (4) itself
is already a new challenge beyond what has been considered
in the literature, and thus we choose to focus on the core
problem at this stage. On the other hand, since both an FM
wireless microphone signal and a CW are rather narrowband,
their spectral shapes are unlikely to be noticeably distorted
by channel multipath, except for a frequency-flat attenuation,
which effectively acts as a scaling on the SNR.
Remark 2: A noteworthy fact is that, in realistic systems,
since the carrier frequency fc is typically estimated by scan-
ning through the periodogram, the finite frequency resolution
inevitably leads to a certain nonzero frequency offset between
fc and the estimated ˆfc. The magnitude of the frequency offset
is a number between zero and the frequency resolution, and it
will “fatten” the resulting periodogram of the signal (wireless
microphone signal or CW). As will be made clear in Section
III, the “fattening” effect would increase the likelihood of false
alarm, and thus it is desirable to eliminate the frequency offset
at least when the underlying hypothesis is H0. In Appendix
VI-A we describe one such method, which has proven effective
in both simulation and experiments.
III. PERIODOGRAM-BASED SOLUTION
A. Rationale of Using Periodogram and One-sided Test
The periodogram is an estimate of the PSD of the received
signal embedded in noise. The starting point of using peri-
odogram here is a well-known fact that, CW has a line PSD
whereas a wireless microphone signal has a slightly dispersed
PSD due to the modulation by the message m(t). So extracting
fine features of the periodogram will enable the detector to
distinguish between CW and wireless microphone.
The approach we take in this work, unlike the ad hoc
approach in [8] where “behavioral” features like main lobe
width are extracted from the periodogram to form the decision
statistics, treats the periodogram as a vector of Gaussian ran-
dom variables and establishes the decision rule based on such a
Gaussian model. Concretely, for M non-overlapping length-N
segments of the received signals, we compute their averaged
periodogram, denoted by ξa = (ξa[0], ξa[1], . . . , ξa[N − 1]),
as the estimate of the PSD. Due to the central limit theorem,
for moderate or large M we may approximate ξa as a vector
of Gaussian random variables. Hence if we could obtain the
means and covariances of ξa under both H0 and H1, we could
directly utilize the likelihood ratio test to decide whether a
received signal is a CW or a wireless microphone signal.
A realistic difficulty with likelihood ratio tests, unfortu-
nately, is that the mean and covariance of ξa is generally
unknown under H1, due to the lack of prior knowledge on the
FM implementation details of wireless microphones. Different
makes of wireless microphones may have quite different
implementations. Their choices of the frequency deviation
β differ and the statistics of m(t) highly depend on the
message characteristics and the audio processing methods.
This difficulty thus motivates our idea of using one-sided test.
That is, we only specify the statistics of ξa under the null
hypothesis H0, and the one-sided test aims at telling whether
a received signal is from H0 or not. Whenever it is decided that
the null hypothesis is to be rejected, we interpret the rejection
as an indication of the occurrence of wireless microphone
signals.
There are numerous one-sided test rules, and in this work,
we follow the information-theoretic approach in [19], using the
Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance between the empirical distri-
bution of the averaged periodogram and the actual distribution
of ξa under H0. The idea is that since the KL distance vanishes
only if its two distributions coincide, we would accept the null
hypothesis only when the KL distance is sufficiently small.
A side note is that one may also use other, perhaps more
refined, PSD estimates to replace periodogram in computing
the statistics. We, however, do not expect that refinement to
yield significant performance improvement. There are two
considerations. First, the lack of prior statistical knowledge
for wireless microphone signals prevents the usage of many
data-dependent, parametric PSD estimation methods. Second,
most nonparametric PSD estimation methods tend to “fatten”
4. the main lobe of signals, thus rendering it more difficult to
distinguish CW from wireless microphone signals.
B. Method Description
Regarding the signal model of CW in (4), in Appendix
VI-A we evaluate the means and variances of its periodogram.
Specifically, since the frequency offset is eliminated and M
periodograms are averaged, we have from (18) and (19) that
µ[k] E {ξa[k]} = σ2
(N · SNR + 1) if k = 0
= σ2
otherwise (5)
η[k, k] var {ξa[k]} =
σ4
M
(2N · SNR + 1) if k = 0
=
σ4
M
otherwise. (6)
Furthermore, without frequency offset, we can directly verify
that the off-diagonal elements {η[k, l]}k=l in the covariance
matrix of ξa are all zero. Denote the mean vector of ξa by
µ = (µ[0], µ[1], . . . , µ[N −1]), and the covariance matrix of
ξa by
η =
η[0, 0] 0 · · · 0
0 η[1, 1] · · · 0
...
...
...
...
0 0 · · · η[N − 1, N − 1]
.
So by our approximation, ξa ∼ N (µ, η).
On the other hand, upon computing the averaged (over
M non-overlapping length-N segments) periodogram of the
received signal, which may be either a CW or a wireless
microphone signal, we can evaluate its empirical mean and
covariance. Denote by ξe the empirical averaged periodogram,
and by µe and ηe its empirical mean vector and covariance
matrix respectively. According to the one-sided decision rule
using KL distance [19], the decision statistic is given by
Tp,0 D (N(µe, ηe) N(µ, η))
=
1
2
(µe − µ)T
η−1
(µe − µ) +
1
2
trace(η−1
ηe − I) + log
det η
det ηe
. (7)
In Tp we need to compute the empirical covariance matrix
ηe and use all the N elements of ξ. Both of these practices
are computation-intensive and usually sensitive to outliers
in real data. Therefore, in order to simplify the detector
implementation and to improve its immunity to outliers, we
use in this work the following decision statistic,
Tp
1
2
(µe,L − µL)T
η−1
L (µe,L − µL), (8)
where L ≤ N is a window size,
µL = (µ[0], µ[1], . . . , µ[L − 1]),
µe,L = (µe[0], µe[1], . . . , µe[L − 1]),
and ηL is the submatrix of η formed by its first L rows and
first L columns.
Given a threshold γ, the decision rule is as follows,
ˆH = H0 if Tp ≤ γ; and H1 otherwise.
By adjusting γ we control the false alarm rate. This needs
to be accomplished by the aid of Monte Carlo simulations. A
first-cut approximation may be used for not too small target
false alarm rates, based on the Gaussian approximation of ξa.
That is, from the decision statistic in (8), when the Gaussian
approximation is well-satisfied, we have Tp ∼ χ2
(L).
C. Simulation Results
We use Monte Carlo simulation to verify our periodogram-
based sensing method. We generate bandpass CW and FM
wireless microphone signals contaminated by white Gaussian
noise, then down-convert, low-pass filter, and down-sample the
signals to obtain the baseband discrete-time signals as in (3)
and (4). The SNR is set with respect to a 8MHz bandwidth (the
TV channels in China are 8MHz), and varies between −15dB
and −23dB. For simplicity and generality, when generating
FM wireless microphone signals, we let the message m(t) be
a Brownian motion. For making decision, fifteen segments of
signals each of time duration 10ms are used to generate the
decision statistics.
In our simulation, we mainly aim at revealing the impact of
the following three key parameters:
• SNR
• L: the window size when computing Tp
• β: the frequency deviation in FM wireless microphone
signals
Figure 2 displays the receive operating characteristic (ROC)
curves of the detection method, for L = 11, β = 0.7, under
different values of SNR. The x-axis is the false alarm rate
and the y-axis is the corresponding detection rate (or, one
minus the miss rate). It is clearly seen that increasing the
SNR dramatically improves the detector performance. When
the SNR is (or higher than) −21dB, the detection rate exceeds
98% with the false alarm rate being 5%.
Figure 3 displays the ROC curves for SNR = −17dB,
β = 0.7, under different values of L. It is seen that the
detector performance improves with L, thus indicating the
tradeoff between performance and complexity. Furthermore,
increasing L beyond 11 does not appear to yield substantial
performance gain. For L = 5, the detection rate exceeds 98%
with the false alarm rate being as low as 1%.
Figure 4 displays the ROC curves for SNR = −17dB,
L = 11, under different values of β. It is seen that the
detector performance improves with β, which is consistent
with the features of the periodogram of wireless microphone.
Furthermore, for the values of β beyond 0.5, the detection rate
exceeds 98% with the false alarm rage being as low as 1%.
IV. AUGMENTED SCF-BASED SOLUTION

For efficiency, the computation of ˆSα
x (f) is usually imple-
mented by a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, over all
of the values of f such that f ± α/2 are integer multiples of
1/N.
Most digitally modulated signals exhibit a certain degree of
cyclostationarity, and have distinctive patterns in their SCFs.
Stationary Gaussian noise, however, shows no cyclostationar-
ity, so that for any α = 0 its SCF is nearly zero. Therefore,
methods based on SCF have been widely used for modulated
signal detection and classification [21].
B. Conjugate SCF and Augmented SCF
When we apply SCF to CW and wireless microphone
signals, a potential problem arises; that is, the SCF for α = 0
is usually too weak to render any extractable feature for de-
tection. This phenomenon may be illustrated by examining the
SCF of a sampled bandpass CW: x[n] = A cos(2πfcTsn+ϕ).
We denote fcTs by f0 as the normalized carrier frequency in
discrete-time. For such a signal, its DTFT (11) computed using

from which we notice that a sharp spectral peak would occur
only if for some k, f0 = ±k/N. Furthermore, from the
approximation of the SCF in (10), there are at most four
locations on the (α, f)-plane that exhibit sharp SCF feature
peaks:
1) α = 0, values of f in the vicinity of f ∈
f0 − M−1
2N , f0 + M−1
2N satisfying f +k/N ±α/2 = f0
for some integer k;
2) α = 0, values of f in the vicinity of f ∈

4) α = −2f0, values of f in the vicinity of f ∈
−M−1
2N , M−1
2N satisfying f + k/N ± α/2 = f0 for
some integer k.
Now in order to exhibit more features on the (α, f)-plane
for the purpose of detection, we propose to introduce the
concepts of conjugate SCF and augmented SCF. The idea of
conjugate SCF is simply swapping the role of f and α, to
define
ˆSα

where the subscript c represents “conjugate”. The reader may
compare its difference from the definition of the SCF (10).
Compared with SCF, The conjugate SCF appears to exhibit
more features along the α axis. For the sampled bandpass
CW example examined above, the following four locations on
the (α, f)-plane possibly exhibit sharp conjugate SCF feature
peaks:
1) f = 0, values of α in the vicinity of α ∈
2f0 − M−1
N , 2f0 + M−1
N satisfying f±(k/N+α/2) =
±f0 for some integer k;
2) f = 0, values of α in the vicinity of α ∈

N satisfying f ± (k/N +
α/2) = f0 for some integer k;
3) f = f0, values of α in the vicinity of α ∈

N satisfying f ± (k/N + α/2) = f0 for
some integer k;
4) f = −f0, values of α in the vicinity of α ∈

N satisfying f ± (k/N + α/2) = −f0 for
some integer k.
Now we further define the augmented SCF as
ˆSα

ˆSα
x (f)c

, (13)
where the subscript a represents “augmented”. The weighting
factors κ1,2 balance the impacts from SCF and the conjugate
SCF. Note that, for SCF we only keep its components on
α = 0, so indeed ˆSα=0
x (f) is an estimate of the signal
PSD; while for the conjugate SCF we ignore its components
for α = 0. Such a definition of the augmented SCF here
is specifically tailored to suit the problem of distinguishing
between CW and wireless microphone signals, while other
definitions are possible (and perhaps more appropriate) for
more extensive potential applications. Figures 5 and 6 display
the magnitudes of the augmented SCFs of a baseband CW and
a baseband wireless microphone signal, respectively. In both
figures we use the same set of weighting factors κ1,2. Visually
we can notice the difference between the two augmented
SCFs, in that the CW tends to have larger conjugate SCF
magnitudes compared with the SCF at α = 0, while the
wireless microphone signal shows an opposite behavior. A
precise mathematical explanation of such a difference does not
appear straightforwardly available, given our limited knowl-
edge regarding the statistical properties of wireless microphone
signals. In Appendix VI-B we sketch out a first-cut analysis
which provides useful intuition about the underlying mecha-
nism.

frequency α are normalized (the same in subsequent figures of augmented
SCFs).
C. Method Description
Having noticed the visual difference between the augmented
SCFs of a CW and a wireless microphone signal, we need to
quantitatively convey such difference using a decision statistic.
In this work, we choose to use the following statistic,
Ta 1 −
|Ψ| α∈Ω | ˆSα
x (f)a|
f=0
|Ω| f∈Ψ | ˆSα
x (f)a|
α=0
. (14)
Herein, Ψ is a window of frequency bins among which we
average | ˆSα=0
x (f)a|, and Ω is a window of cycle frequency
bins among which we average | ˆSα
x (f = 0)a|. So the statistic
Ta is just one minus the ratio between the averaged augmented
SCF magnitudes on f = 0 and the averaged augmented SCF
magnitudes on α = 0. From our visual observation, for CW,
Ta tends to be small, while for wireless microphone signals,
Ta tends to be large.
We remark that, in order to compute Ta, we only need
to compute the values of the SCF on α = 0 (that is, the
PSD) within window Ψ, and the values of the conjugate
SCF on f = 0 within window Ω. Without the need to
compute the augmented SCF over the entire (α, f)-plane, the
implementation complexity of the detection method may be
moderate and suitable for practice.
Fig. 6. Augmented SCF of a wireless microphone signal in baseband.
Even under H0, the distribution of Ta is complicated to
analyze. Hence we use Monte Carlo simulation to determine
the decision threshold γ, in order to meet a specified target
false alarm rate. The decision rule is as follows,
ˆH = H0 if Ta ≤ γ; and H1 otherwise.
In order to combat against noise and thus improve the decision
accuracy, the statistics of multiple separate segments of signals
may be averaged or appropriately combined.
D. Simulation Results
The simulation setup is identical to that in Section III-C,
except that for computing the augmented SCF the sampling
rate is set as 20MHz. The weighting factors in ˆSα
x (f)a are
chosen as κ1 = 0.1 and κ2 = 1. The Ta statistics of five
separate segments of signals each of time duration 5ms are
averaged to improve the decision accuracy. The window sizes
of Ψ and Ω are chosen as five and ten, respectively.
Figure 7 displays the ROC curves of the detection method,
for β = 2, under different values of SNR. It is clearly seen
that increasing the SNR dramatically improves the detector
performance. When the SNR is (or higher than) −21dB, the
detection rate exceeds 98% with the false alarm rate being 5%.
Figure 8 displays the ROC curves for SNR = −23dB, under
different values of β. Even for such an extremely low SNR,
the detection remains essentially error-free over a wide range

of βs until β gets as small as 2. On the other hand, in our
simulation we observe a somewhat unexpected phenomenon
that, if β grows too large, say, several tens (not displayed in the
figures herein), then the bandwidth dispersion in the wireless
microphone signal becomes so severe that even the center
peak in the PSD becomes diminished, making the denominator
in Ta small so as to decrease the value of Ta, and thus the
detection rate drops.
V. EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION
We present in this section experimental validation of the
proposed sensing methods.
A. Experiment System Description
Figure 9 schematically illustrates the structure the experi-
ment setup, and Figure 10 shows the experiment test bench.
The experiment system consists of a wireless microphone,
an antenna, a RF front-end module, and an oscilloscope. In
experiments we use two makes of wireless microphones: one
is Sennheiser EW100G2 which is capable of transmitting on
1440 frequency points (with a stepsize of 25kHz) between
786MHz and 822MHz, and the other is Shure UR8D which

is capable of transmitting on 200 frequency points (with a
stepsize of 160kHz) between 786MHz and 822MHz.1
The
signals from a wireless microphone are received by the an-
tenna, passed through the RF front-end module, and then fed
to the oscilloscope where they are recorded and stored, before
being processed by the computer program which implements
the proposed sensing methods as described in the previous
sections.
B. Experiment Results
We collected signal data using the wireless microphones
indoors in a multi-floor building (Department of Electronic
Engineering and Information Science in the west campus of
University of Science and Technology of China), at a distance
so as to sufficiently attenuate the received signal power. The
wireless microphones were tested in both silent and voiced
modes. In the silent mode there was no audio input to the
wireless microphones, and in the voiced mode there was a
recorded music playback to feed the wireless microphones at

to transmit on the spectrum just above the TV band upper edge, where the
interference characteristics are quite similar as in TV bands.

EW100G2 and Shure UR8D in silent mode, respectively, on
a spectrum analyzer. Because the background noise power
density in the spectrum analyzer was measured to be about
−139dBm/Hz (as indicated in the spectrum analyzer datasheet,
and also can be confirmed from the figures taking into account
the resolution bandwidth of 1.8kHz), substantially higher than
the ideal thermal noise density −174dBm/Hz, the wireless
microphone signal power was set to roughly −90dBm, trans-
lating into a SNR approximately −20dB over 8MHz TV
channel bandwidth. Similar exercise was also conducted when
recording wireless microphone signals in the oscilloscope.
In the experiments, we also tested the false alarm per-
formance, by running the sensing methods for a number of
noticeable narrowband interferences in the received spectrum.
Every time such a narrowband interference being decided as a

wireless microphone signal, we interpreted it as a false alarm
event.
1) Results of Periodogram-based Sensing Method: For
Sennheiser EW100G2, in silent mode the detection rate PD
was 100%, against the false alarm rate of PFA ≈ 8%; while
in voiced mode, PD was 100% against PFA ≈ 5%. For Shure
UR8D, in silent mode PD was 100% against PFA ≈ 4%; while
in voiced mode, PD was 100% against PFA < 1%. The trend
in these results is consistent with the simulation in Section
III-C.
2) Results of Augmented SCF-based Sensing Method: For
each make of wireless microphone in each mode, PD was
100% without an occurrence of a false alarm event, throughout
the twenty experiments. The augmented SCFs under different
situations are displayed in Figure 13 for visual illustration. We
clearly observe that, the shape of augmented SCF effectively
captures the key difference between FM wireless microphones
and CW-like narrowband interferences.
VI. CONCLUSION
We considered wireless microphone sensing in TVWS,
treating its core problem of distinguishing between CW-like
narrowband interference and FM wireless microphone signals.
We developed two solutions, one based on periodogram and
the other based on a proposed augmented SCF, to deal with
this problem. Both the two solutions are logical consequences
of our perceptual observations of the key features underlying
CW and wireless microphone signals. Both simulation results
and experimental validation results indicate that the proposed

phones in TVWS.
There are a number of items in future work. First, for the
proposed solutions, further analyzing their theoretical prop-
erties and computational complexities is important towards a
full understanding of their potential and limitation. Second,
for applying those solutions to real systems, hardware-oriented
implementation techniques need to be studied and developed,
and the developed experimental system needs to experience
more extensive field tests, in order to fully validate the
concepts.

A. Statistical Properties of CW Periodogram and Frequency
Offset Correction
With a frequency offset ∆f = fc − ˆfc, the down-converted
baseband signal of CW can be written as
x[n] =
A
2
e−jϕ
ej2πnTs∆f
+ w[n]. (15)
For a length-N segment of x[·], after taking discrete Fourier
transform (DFT), we obtain

where sad(πζ[k], N) sin(πNζ[k])
sin(πζ[k]) and ζ[k] Ts∆f − k/N.
We also note that sad(0, N) = limζ→0 sad(πζ, N) = N. The
periodogram of x[n] is
ξ[k] |X[k]|2
=
|X [k]|2
+ X [k]W†
[k] + X †
[k]W[k] + |W[k]|2
.(17)
Due to the modeling assumption on noise, we have W[k] ∼
CN(0, σ2
), and consequently the mean and variance of ξ[k]
are respectively
E {ξ[k]} = σ2 SNR
N
sad2
(πζ[k], N) + 1 (18)
var {ξ[k]} = σ4 2SNR
N
sad2
(πζ[k], N) + 1 . (19)
In order to suppress the effect of noise, we usually smooth
out ξ[·] by averaging M segments of such length-N peri-
odograms to obtain an improve estimate of the PSD of the
received signal, as ξa = (ξa[0], ξa[1], . . . , ξa[N − 1]) where
the subscript a represents averaging over M segments.
Below is the procedure we used in our work to estimate
the frequency offset ∆f. First, we identify the largest two
elements in ξa as ξa[k1] and ξa[k2], k1 < k2, respectively.
Then, by treating ξa[k] as the mean E {ξ[k]} in (18), we get
ξa[k1]

N
sad2
(πζ[k1], N) (20)
ξa[k2]
σ2
− 1 =

N
sad2
(πζ[k2], N). (21)
12. Taking their ratio leads to
sad(πζ[k1], N)
sad(πζ[k2], N)
2
=
ξa[k1] − σ2
ξa[k2] − σ2
. (22)
Now solving the equation (22) yields an estimate of ∆f.
We then correct the down-conversion frequency to ˆfc + ∆f
which would be close to fc, and perform the down-conversion
procedure once again to come up with the hypothesis testing
problem (3)(4). Despite its simplicity, this correction proce-
dure has shown satisfying performance in both simulation and
experiments.
B. The Detection Mechanism of Augmented SCF
For simplicity, we ignore the noise and write the signal
vectors in the frequency domain of CW and FM wireless
microphone signals as
X[k] =
Aejϕ
, k = 0
0, k = 1, . . . , N − 1, and
(23)
X[k] =
Akejϕk
, k ∈ [0, L − 1] ∪ [N − L, N − 1]
0, k ∈ [L, N − L − 1],
(24)
respectively. Here L denotes one half the size of nonzero fre-
quency bins in the frequency domain. We pick the parameter
M in the definitions of SCF and conjugate SCF such that
L < M−1
2 holds.
For CW, the magnitudes of its augmented SCF can be
explicitly evaluated as
| ˆSα
x (f)a| =
κ1

MN , α = 0, f ∈ [−M−1
2N , M−1
2N ]
κ2
A2
MN , f = 0, α ∈ [−M−1
N , M−1

0, others.
(25)
For FM wireless microphone signal, the situation is different
since there are more than one nonzero frequency bins in the
frequency domain. The magnitudes of its augmented SCF can
be written as shown in the following,
| ˆSα
x (f)a| =

Now for simplicity let us set Ψ = [ L

2N , − L
N + M−1
2N ],
Ω = [−2L
N + M−1
N , 2L
N − M−1
N ], and κ1 = κ2 = 1. In view
of (25) for CW, we notice that the averaged magnitudes of its
SCF (over α = 0) and its conjugate SCF (over f = 0) are iden-
tical. In view of (26) for FM wireless microphone, however,
its SCF (over α = 0) and its conjugate SCF (over f = 0) show
different behaviors. That is, the magnitudes of the SCF (over
α = 0) within the window Ψ are identically κ1

k,
while the magnitudes of the conjugate SCF (over f = 0)
within the window Ω are κ2

Due to the random phase incoherences ej(ϕk−ϕ−k)
therein,
empirically the conjugate SCF is expected to be much smaller
than the SCF. In order to further enhance such a difference, in
our detection method we adjust the weighting factors κ1 and
κ2 to satisfy κ1 κ2, so that the visual effect as shown in
Figures 5 and 6 is clearly manifested.
