Patent number: 11037057Abstract: Described is a cognitive signal processor that is implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). During operation, the FGPA receives a continuous noisy signal. The continuous noisy signal is a time-series of data points from a mixture signal of waveforms having both noise and a desired waveform signal. The continuous noisy signal is linearly mapped to reservoir states of a dynamical reservoir. A high-dimensional state-space representation of the continuous noisy signal is generated by digitally combining the continuous noisy signal with the reservoir states. Notably, the continuous noisy signal is approximated over a time interval based on a linear basis function. One or more delay-embedded state signals are then generated based on the reservoir states. The continuous noisy signal is then denoised by removing the noise from the desired waveform signal, resulting in a denoised waveform signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: HRL Laboratories, LLCInventors: Gabriel L.
