The active average sound intensity (AASI) detector can estimate all azimuths of users with the same frequency band at the same time in order to achieve directional communication by vector combination. Space-division multiple access (SDMA) based on TRM combined with the AASI detector is proposed in this paper, which can make the capacity of the code division multiple access (CDMA) UWA system significantly increase. The simulation and lake test results show that the 7-user UWA multi-user system can achieve low bit error communication.展开更多

By establishing the effective refractive index model to simulate VCSELs with different radii of oxide apertures, the wavelength and corresponding order of different modes are obtained. VCSELs with three kinds of oxide apertures are manufactured. Then the multi-transverse-mode spectra and near-field are measured. It is found that when the radius is between 1.5 and 4.5μm, few-mode VCSELs can be implemented. The 2.5μm VCSEL manufactured in this paper only emits LP01 mode and LP21 mode. Since the space distance between the two modes is 2μm, it is expected to realize direct-modulation few-mode VCSELs by channel etching or ion implantation between the two modes.展开更多

Advances in passive and active SDM devices as well as digital signal processing have led to impressive SDM transmission demonstrations in the laboratory. Although the perceived advantages in terms of capacity and cost per bit that SDM offers over parallel SMF bundles are not universally accepted, SDM is beginning to emerge as an indispensable solution in major network segments. The introduction of the spatial degree of freedom allows optical networks to overcome fundamental limitations such as fiber nonlinearity as well practical limitations such as power delivery. We describe these application scenarios that the optical communications industry has already began to explore. From a fundamental science point of view, concepts such as the principal modes, generalized Stokes space, and multi-component solitons discovered in SDM research will likely have a broad impact in other areas of science and engineering.展开更多

It is shown that the dual relationship between multiuser detection and multiuser transmission can be extended to the rank-deficient system where the number of users supported is more than the number of transmit antennas available at the BS, if the MBER design is adopted. The proposed MBER transmit beamforming scheme is capable of achieving better performance over the standard minimum mean square error transmit beamforming solution with the support of low-complexity and high power-efficient MTs, particularly for rank-deficient TDD-SDMA MIMO systems. The robustness of the proposed MBER transmit beamforming design to the downlink and uplink noise or channel mismatch is investigated using simulation.展开更多

文摘Detecting microwave signals over a wide frequency range is endowed with numerous advantages as it enables simultaneous transmission of a large amount of information and access to more spectrum resources.This capability is crucial for applications such as microwave communication,remote sensing and radar.However,conventional microwave receiving systems are limited by amplifiers and band-pass filters that can only operate efficiently in a specific frequency range.Typically,these systems can only process signals within a three-fold frequency range,which limits the data transfer bandwidth of the microwave communication systems.Developing novel atom-integrated microwave sensors,for example,radio-frequency(RF)chip–coupled Rydberg atomic receiver,provides opportunities for a large working bandwidth of microwave sensing at the atomic level.In the current work,an ultrawide dual-band RF sensing scheme was demonstrated by spacedivision multiplexing two RF-chip-integrated atomic receiver modules.The system can simultaneously receive dual-band microwave signals that span a frequency range exceeding 6 octaves(300 MHz and 24 GHz).This work paves the way for multi-band microwave reception applications within an ultra-wide range by RF-chip-integrated Rydberg atomic sensor.
