Improving the Estimation of Attenuation in Q/V Band Systems with a Kalman-Based Scintillation Filter
This paper presents the design and implementation of the Scintillation Filter by Kalman-colored algorithm (SciFi), which is used to remove tropospheric scintillation from Q/V bands total attenuation data series. In contrast to the classical methods using low-pass filters, the SciFi algorithm allows to estimate both the attenuation, its slope and a confidence interval. Moreover, the linear observer structure of the Kalman filter allows it to operate in real time. Therefore, the states and uncertainties estimated by SciFi can be used as input for Fade Mitigation Techniques (FMT) such as Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) or Site Diversity (SD). In this article, we propose a method to tune the noise level based on recommendations approved by the ITU-R. Finally, some results of filtering on Alphasat experimental data are discussed.

Scintillation and Attenuation Modelling of Atmospheric Turbulence for Terahertz UAV Channels
Terahertz (THz) wireless communications have the potential to realize ultra-high-speed and secure data transfer with miniaturized devices for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. Existing THz channel models for …
Real-time Ionospheric Imaging of S4 Scintillation from Limited Data with Parallel Kalman Filters and Smoothness
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian framework to create two dimensional ionospheric images of high spatio-temporal resolution to monitor ionospheric irregularities as measured by the S4 index. Here, we recast the standa…
Frequency-dependent Switching Control for Disturbance Attenuation of Linear Systems
The generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma as established by Iwasaki and Hara in 2005 marks a milestone in the analysis and synthesis of linear systems from a finite-frequency perspective. Given a pre-specified freque…
LEMMAFW-NKF: Frequency-Weighted Neural Kalman Filters
Robust state estimation is central to robotic autonomy, yet classical Kalman filters struggle with frequency-dependent disturbances and model mismatch such as sensor vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and periodic…
Pose EstimationNBA-OMP: Near-field Beam-Split-Aware Orthogonal Matching Pursuit for Wideband THz Channel Estimation
The sixth-generation networks envision the terahertz (THz) band as one of the key enabling technologies because of its ultrawide bandwidth. To combat the severe attenuation, the THz wireless systems employ large arrays, …
