Distributed antenna wireless communication system coverage design and field trial over higher frequency band

This paper aims to examine the architecture design of a distributed antenna based Gbps wireless communication system using the high frequency band.In order to analyze the feasibility of the higher frequency band applications,the cumulative distribution of simulated user throughput in a cellular is investigated firstly.It shows that capacity improvement can be obtained using higher operating frequency band,especially in hotspot scenarios.Secondly,the architecture of the distributed antenna system(DAS) is introduced to overcome the disadvantages of weak coverage and rank deficient for the traditional multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) systems using higher frequency bands in line-of-sight(LOS)environments.In addition,a software-defined-radio(SDR) based Gbps wireless transmission system with scalable hardware architecture is designed and implemented.Finally,a demo of outdoor DAS coverage for high data throughput application is given.Field trials show that 1 Gbps data rate and a large coverage in outdoor environments can be achieved over 6.05 GHz.It is proved that the Gbps DAS system at a higher frequency band can be a successful model for future wireless broadband coverage in hotspot scenarios.

Enriched Constant Elements in the Boundary Element Method for Solving 2D Acoustic Problems at Higher Frequencies

The boundary element method(BEM)is a popular method for solving acoustic wave propagation problems,especially those in exterior domains,owing to its ease in handling radiation conditions at infinity.However,BEM models must meet the requirement of 6–10 elements per wavelength,using the conventional constant,linear,or quadratic elements.Therefore,a large storage size of memory and long solution time are often needed in solving higher-frequency problems.In this work,we propose two new types of enriched elements based on conventional constant boundary elements to improve the computational efficiency of the 2D acoustic BEM.The first one uses a plane wave expansion,which can be used to model scattering problems.The second one uses a special plane wave expansion,which can be used tomodel radiation problems.Five examples are investigated to showthe advantages of the enriched elements.Compared with the conventional constant elements,the new enriched elements can deliver results with the same accuracy and in less computational time.This improvement in the computational efficiency is more evident at higher frequencies(with the nondimensional wave numbers exceeding 100).The paper concludes with the potential of our proposed enriched elements and plans for their further improvement.

Higher Order Moment Spectra Time-Frequency Analysis of the Geophysical Signal

On the basis of an introduction of the Wigner Higher-Order spectra (WHOS) and a general class of time-frequency higher-order moment spectra, the geophysical signal was analyzed using the higher order time-frequency distributions (TFD). Simulation results obtained in this paper show that the higher-order TFD (Wigner Bispectrum, Wigner Trispectrum and Choi-Williams Trispectrum) have much better Time-Frequency Concentration than the second-order TFD, and the reduced interference higher-order TFD such as CWT can effectively reduce the cross-term in multicomponent signals and simultaneously obtain high time-frequency concentration.

Improvement and application of a saturation based wave dissipation function in SWAN model

Wave dissipation characteristics in SWAN （Simulating Waves Nearshore） model are investigated through numerical experiments. It is found that neither the fully developed integral parameters of wind waves （significant wave height and peak frequency） nor the high frequency spectral tail can be well reproduced by the default wave dissipation source terms. A new spectral dissipation source term is proposed, which comprises saturation based dissipation above two times of peak frequency and improved whitecapping dissipation at lower frequency spectrum. The reciprocal wave age （u./ep） is involved into the whitecapping model to adjust dissipation rate at different wind speed. The Phillips higher frequency saturation parameter in the saturation-based dissipation is no longer taken as a constant, but varies with wave age. Numerical validations demonstrate that both the wind wave generation process and higher frequency spectrum of wind waves can be well simulated by the new wave dissipation term.
