Abstract
In this paper an alternative technique for differential gain and phase testing of video ADCs based on the use of joint time-frequency analysis is presented. This technique can lead to a significant improvement in ADC testing time and in the amount of information provided by these specific tests.

Abstract
In this paper, a new fast and computationally light weight methodology is proposed to pinpoint a robot in a structured scenario. The localisation algorithm performs a tracking routine to pinpoint the robot's position as it moves in a known map. To perform such tracking routine, it is necessary to know the initial position of the vehicle. This paper briefly describes the tracking routine and presents a solution to pinpoint that initial position in an autonomous way. Experimental results on the performance of the proposed methodology are presented in this paper in two different scenarios: 1) in the Middle Size Soccer Robotic League (MSL), with artificial vision data from an omni directional robot, and 2) in an indoor environment with a Laser Range Finder data from a differential traction robot (called Robot Vigil). © 2012 IEEE.

Publicação
THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED A/D AND D/A CONVERSION TECHNIQUES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

Abstract
An account is given on the joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) and the short time-frequency transform algorithm in particular as an alternative technique for dynamic testing of analog to digital converters (ADCs). It is shown that this technique can lead to a significant improvement in ADC testing mainly due the possibility of using non-stationary signals allowing a more rapid test capable of analyzing even localized features.

Abstract
Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) characterization is usually performed using stationary stimuli like sine waves. However, the use of a non-stationary stimulus, besides providing testing conditions closer to those found in real applications, can lead to interesting improvements in ADC testing speed, This kind of signal needs proper processing techniques in order to extract useful information. In this paper we propose the use of joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) for this purpose. The basic principles of the technique, and how it can be used in ADC testing are presented. in particular, a method for characterising an ADC on its entire bandwidth using a single stimulus is described.
