Patent number: 8798569Abstract: The present invention discloses a channel estimation method and device in a multi-antenna system. The method includes: obtaining the original channel estimation value of each array element of an array antenna for each uplink user received by the antenna; converting them into a channel estimation matrix; dividing the channel estimation matrix into an amplitude matrix and a phase matrix; grouping the elements of each array element at the same tap location in the amplitude matrix together for signal transformation processing and performing transform domain noise reduction to the high-frequency portion of the obtained transform domain data; inversely transforming the noise-reduced data to a noise-reduced amplitude matrix; and combining the noise-reduced amplitude matrix with the phase matrix into a restored channel estimation matrix, wherein the amplitude of each channel estimation value of the restored channel estimation matrix has undertaken a multi-antenna transform domain noise reduction process.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: ZTE CorporationInventors: Fan Shi, Jiahai Li

Patent number: 8164788Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method for efficiently and accurately estimating the complete TRC for a color marking device equipped with a multi-center cluster halftone screen which has a similar halftone tiling geometry and a similar growth specified by a corresponding single-center cluster halftone screen. The present method introduces a cluster-based printer model which establishes a relationship between a color output of a single-center cluster halftone screen and a color output of a multi-center cluster halftone screen. The present cluster-based printer model determines the complete TRC for the multi-center cluster halftone screen using the measurements for the single-center cluster halftone screen. Results of halftone dot linearization with different printing devices demonstrates that high accuracy can be achieved using the reduced measurements from the single-center cluster halftone screen.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Shen-Ge Wang, David C.

Patent number: 7948658Abstract: A marking device is controlled to mark a media sheet with halftone dots selected from a set of image halftone dot representations. The marking device is controlled to mark a monitored surface with halftone dots selected from a set of control halftone dot representations to form test patches of different nominal marking densities. Measured marking densities are acquired using a density sensor for the test patches marked on the monitored surface. The set of control halftone dot representations is updated based on the measured marking densities and the nominal marking densities.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brian R. Conrow, Patricia J. Donaldson, Fan Shi, William B. Willard, David C. Craig

Publication number: 20050135824Abstract: An in situ system and method for setting the charge voltages in a dual recharge color photocopier device includes a calculating an optimal DC grid voltage for each DC charging device of the dual recharge photocopier device. With the AC charging devices off, the photoreceptor belt is advanced to the first color station at a uniform residual voltage level. The DC charge device for the first color station charges the photoreceptor belt to a uniform voltage level. An non-contact voltmeter measures and stores the value read from the photoreceptor belt. An exposure device at the first color station exposes a portion of the photoreceptor belt to be read by the voltmeter at the next color station. The process continues through each color station, reading the voltage level of the portion of the photoreceptor belt exposed at the previous color station until voltage readings have been obtained for each color station.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Applicant: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Fan SHI, John SCHARR, Mark SCHEUER, Patricia DONALDSON
