Detection optimization for resonance region radar with dense multi-carrier waveform

Unlike the existing resonance region radar systems （RRRS ） that transmit the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM）multi-carrier waveform,the dense multi-carrier （DMC）radar waveform which has a narrower frequency interval than the traditional OFDM waveform is proposed.Therefore,in the same frequency bandwidth,the DMC waveform contains more sub-carriers and provides more frequency diversity.Additionally,to further improve detection performance,a novel optimal weight accumulation target detection （OWATD）method is proposed,where the echo electromagnetic waves at different frequencies are accumulated with the optimal weight coefficients.Then,with the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）of echo waveform approaching infinity,the asymptotic detection performance is analyzed, and the condition that the OWATD method with the DMC outperforms the matched filter with the OFDM is presented.Simulation results show that the DMC outperforms the OFDM in the target detection performance,and the OWATD method can further improve the detection performance of the traditional methods with both the OFDM and DMC radar waveform.

Modeling and optimization of a multi-carrier renewable energy system for zero-energy consumption buildings

For the carbon-neutral,a multi-carrier renewable energy system(MRES),driven by the wind,solar and geothermal,was considered as an effective solution to mitigate CO2emissions and reduce energy usage in the building sector.A proper sizing method was essential for achieving the desired 100%renewable energy system of resources.This paper presented a bi-objective optimization formulation for sizing the MRES using a constrained genetic algorithm(GA)coupled with the loss of power supply probability(LPSP)method to achieve the minimal cost of the system and the reliability of the system to the load real time requirement.An optimization App has been developed in MATLAB environment to offer a user-friendly interface and output the optimized design parameters when given the load demand.A case study of a swimming pool building was used to demonstrate the process of the proposed design method.Compared to the conventional distributed energy system,the MRES is feasible with a lower annual total cost(ATC).Additionally,the ATC decreases as the power supply reliability of the renewable system decreases.There is a decrease of 24%of the annual total cost when the power supply probability is equal to 8%compared to the baseline case with 0%power supply probability.

CQI Feedback Compression Method for Multi-Carrier MIMO Transmission

In multi-user wireless communication systems,adaptive modulation and scheduling are promising techniques for increasing system throughput.However,for multi-carrier systems,they will lead to overwhelming user feedback overhead for Channel Quality Indication(CQI) in every subcarrier.In our work,novel CQI feedback schemes are proposed based on the recently proposed theory of Compressive Sensing(CS).First,the standard CS method is introduced to reduce CQI feedback overhead for multi-carrier Multiple-Input Multiple-Output transmission.In addition,via further research on the design of measurement matrix with standard CS,a novel CQI feedback scheme based on subspace CS is proposed by exploiting the subspace information of the underlying signal and the feedback rate is greatly decreased.Simulation results show that,with the same feedback rate,the throughputs with subspace CS outperform the Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT)-based method which is usually employed,and the throughputs with standard CS outperform DCT when the feedback rate is larger than 0.13 bits/subcarrier.

ICI elimination of M-band wavelet multi-carrier modulation system

To solve the inter carrier interference （ICI） elimination problem of an M-band wavelet multi-carrier modulation system, this paper analyzes the principle of the ICI caused by the Doppler frequency shift and its mathematical expression based on the M-band wavelet multi-carrier modulation system model. Through the analysis of the mathematical expression and combining with the perfect reconstruction conditions of the filter banks, we propose the design conditions of an M-band filter to reduce and eliminate the ICI. The impulse response model of the filter design conditions and an iterative algorithm is also established. The simulation results show that the proposed ICI reduction and elimination methods can effectively improve the system performance.

Multi-carrier transport in ZrTe_5 film

Single-layered zirconium pentatelluride （ZrTes） has been predicted to be a large-gap two-dimensional （2D） topolog- ical insulator, which has attracted particular attention in topological phase transitions and potential device applications. Herein, we investigated the transport properties in ZrTe5 films as a function of thickness, ranging from a few nm to several hundred nm. We determined that the temperature of the resistivity anomaly peak （Tp） tends to increase as the thickness decreases. Moreover, at a critical thickness of ~ 40 rim, the dominating carriers in the films change from n-type to p-type. A comprehensive investigation of Shubnikov-de Hass （SdH） oscillations and Hall resistance at variable temperatures revealed a multi-carrier transport tendency in the thin films. We determined the carrier densities and mobilities of two majority car- riers using the simplified two-carrier model. The electron carriers can be attributed to the Dirac band with a non-trivial Berry phase ~, while the hole carriers may originate from surface chemical reaction or unintentional doping during the microfabrication process. It is necessary to encapsulate the ZrTe5 film in an inert or vacuum environment to potentially achieve a substantial improvement in device quality.

Recognition of multi-carrier OFDM and single-carrier with alpha-stable distribution noise

In order to identify the multi-carrier orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) and the single-carrier signal in the non-Gaussian noise environment, different features of the two signals are analyzed in terms of five parameters: generalized normalized fourth-order cumulant, the maximum value of the instantaneous amplitude power spectral density, absolute standard deviation of instantaneous phase on the section with weak signals, and position and numbers of the generalized cyclic spectrum's peak. The recognition method of the multi-carrier OFDM and single-carrier signal is proposed in the environment with alpha-stable distribution noise. Simulation results show that the recognition rate of the multi-carrier OFDM can reach 100% when the mixed signal to noise ratio(MSNR) is greater than-5 dB and the recognition rate can reach 90% for the single-carrier when the MSNR is greater than 2 dB.

Performance Analysis of Parallel Interference Cancella tion for Multi-carrier DS-CDMA

The parallel interference c an cellation for multi-carrier DS-CDMA (which is termed FDC-PIC) is proposed by integrating frequency diversity combination. The simulations are made over FDC- PIC with respect to different decision ways——hard, soft and linear decisions, respectively, and we conclude that FDC-PIC acquires superior performance improv ement over correlation reception of multi-carrier DS CDMA. With an increase in interference cancellation stages, the system performance is improved further. Th e initial 2 stages bring about the most dominant performance improvement, but up to the 3rd stage the system performance is improved little. It is also shown by the simulation results that FDC-PIC with soft decision would exhibit the best performance with a high implementation complexity, while FDC-PIC with linear de cision acquires performance comparable to that of FDC-PIC with soft decision wi th a reduced-complexity if the number of the interference cancellation stages i s the same, which indicates that FDC-PIC with linear decision has optimal perfo rmance/complexity tradeoff and therefore will be suitable for practical applica tion in future.

On the Characteristic of Orthogonality for Multi-Carrier-Based Systems

The dominate factors caused by reasons of losing the orthogonality in fading channel including FBC (fading branch correlation), CFO (carrier frequency offset), and even the CPN (carrier phase noise) are novel discussion in this letter. The first one factor causes the ISI (inter-symbol interference), and, however, the latter two will lead to the phenomenon of CPE (common phase error) and ICI (inter-carrier interference). On the other hand, they will lead to the loss of orthogonality for the radio system with multi-carrier modulating schemes, i.e., both them mainly deteriorate a wireless communication system. Eventually, in this letter not only the analytical expressions are derived, but a three dimension numerical results from the analysis involve the three parameters also illustrated is.

Denmark’ goal of being independent of fossil energy sources in 2050 puts forward great demands on all energy subsystems (electricity, heat, gas and transport, etc.) to be operated in a holistic manner. The Danish experience and challenges of wind power integration and the development of district heating systems are summarized in this paper. How to optimally use the cross-sectoral flexibility by intelligent control (model predictive control-based) of the key coupling components in an integrated heat and power system including electrical heat pumps in the demand side, and thermal storage applications in buildings is investigated.

Spectrally Efficient Multi-Carrier Modulation Using Gabor Transform

Non Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NOFDM) systems make use of a transmission signal set which is not restricted to orthonormal bases unlike previous OFDM systems. The usage of non-orthogonal bases generally results in a trade-off between Bit Error Rate (BER) and receiver complexity. This paper studies the use of Gabor based on designing a Spectrally Efficient Multi-Carrier Modulation Scheme. Using Gabor Transform with a specific Gaussian envelope;we derive the expected BER-SNR performance. The spectral usage of such a NOFDM system when affected by a channel that imparts Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is estimated. We compare the obtained results with an OFDM system and observe that with comparable BER performance, this system gives a better spectral usage. The effect of window length on spectral usage is also analyzed.

Transactive Energy Trading in Reconfigurable Multi-carrier Energy Systems

The penetration of multi-carrier energy systems in distribution system gains more and more concerns.In this paper,a bi-level transactive energy trading framework is proposed to improve the energy scheduling and operation efficiency for multi-carrier energy systems which are modeled as energy hubs(EHs).In the upper level,each EH in the distribution system not only makes energy scheduling decisions considering supplies and demands of local energy,but also trades energy with each other to further maximize their social welfare.The associated trading payment among EHs is made in a fair manner by applying Nash bargaining theory.We solve the bargaining problem by decomposing it into two subproblems:operation cost minimization problem and payment bargaining problem.Then,based on the trading decision,the nodal equivalent loads of EHs are sent to the distribution system operator(DSO)without publishing trading details.By applying the second-order cone programming(SOCP),DSO reconfigures the network to reduce the transmission loss of the system in the lower level.The network reconfiguration and the trading behavior of EHs interact and iterate until the convergence.Numerical studies on modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Performance analysis of DFT spread generalized multi-carrier systems

Discrete Fourier transform-spread generalized multi-carrier （DFT-S-GMC） based single carrier-frequency division multiple access （SC-FDMA） scheme is a promising solution for uplink transmission of broadband wireless communication. In this paper, the impact of non-perfect orthogonal prototype filter to the performance of the DFT-S-GMC system is discussed. Single sub-band frequency-domain equalization （FDE） method is presented and the performance loss caused by FDE-tone discarding is analyzed. Moreover, the post-processing signal to interference plus noise ratio （SINR） of DFT-S-GMC receiver over multi-path channel is addressed. The theoretical analysis illustrates that the non-perfect orthogonal prototype filter results in inter-symbol interference （ISI） and inter-sub-band interference （IBI）, and the variance of the ISI is still less than le-4 and much larger than that of IBI. By designing proper system parameters, the reconstruction error due to FDE-tones discarding can be controlled under -40 dB; the post-processing SINR of the DFT-S-GMC receiver with minimum mean square error （MMSE） equalization is higher than that with zero forcing （ZF） equalization. The theoretical performances are verified by extensive simulation results.

Suppression of Doppler dispersion in the target detection with multi-carrier signal

The output of each individual channel in multi-carrier system can be processed to detect moving targets by the approach used in tradition narrowband pulse Doppler（PD） radar and then using non-coherent integration to promote signal noise ratio（SNR）. However, due to the difference of Doppler on sub-carriers, there occurs Doppler dispersion during non-coherent integration, which causes attenuation and extension on target＇s amplitude. Especially, it can deteriorate performance of target detection under wideband multicarrier system or fast-moving target scene. In this paper, a modified Fourier transform kernel is proposed to solve Doppler dispersion for multi-carrier chirp signal. It can achieve accumulation at the same frequency point for the target＇s Doppler of each subcarrier. The simulation results indicate that this method can effectively eliminate the integral loss caused by Doppler dispersion.

Time-domain modified DFT modulated filter banks for multi-carrier transceiver systems

A time domain designing method is proposed for discrete Fourier transform （DFT） modulated filter banks （DFT-FBs） for application in multi-carrier transceiver systems. Instead of using the time-reversed pair limitation between the transmitting /receiving filter pair, the receiving filters in the proposed filter banks are derived from transmitting filters in accordance with the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse matrix. It can be freely obtained to design the transmitting prototype filter, which mainly affects the level of spectral containment. Furthermore, the symbol error rate （SER） performance of the proposed filter bank based trans-multiplexer with one tap equalizer is investigated in ideal channel and multi-path channel environments respectively. Simulation shows that the proposed approach can achieve significant SER reductions when square root raised cosine （RRC） prototype filter is used for comparing with the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） and the general DFT-FBs based applications.

Theoretical analysis of polarization control for the stable output of multi-carrier source based on a re-circulating frequency shifter

Fluctuating polarization state-of-light in the optical loop is an important factor that seriously influences the output performance of a multi-carrier source based on re-circulating frequency shifter （RFS）. The reason for output spectrum instability when no polarization controller （PC） is present in the loop is analyzed theoretically. Numerical simulations for the output spectra of the multi-carrier source with and without PC are conducted, and the trajectories of the several frequency components polarization states on the Poincare sphere with and without PC are compared. The results show that the performance of multi-carrier source based on a RFS can be improved effectively by adjusting the PC in the configuration properly.
