A Concise Joint Transmit/Receive Antenna Selection Algorithm

For reducing the computational complexity of the problem of joint transmit and receive antenna selection in Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, we present a concise joint transmit/receive antenna selection algorithm. Using a novel partition of the channel matrix, we drive a concise formula. This formula enables us to augment the channel matrix in such a way that the computational complexity of the greedy Joint Transmit/Receive Antenna Selection (JTRAS) algorithm is reduced by a factor of 4n L , where n L is the number of selected antennas. A decoupled version of the proposed algorithm is also proposed to further improve the efficiency of the JTRAS algorithm, with some capacity degradation as a tradeoff. The computational complexity and the performance of the proposed approaches are evaluated mathematically and verified by computer simulations. The results have shown that the proposed joint antenna selection algorithm maintains the capacity perormance of the JTRAS algorithm while its computational complexity is only 1/4n L of that of the JTRAS algorithm. The decoupled version of the proposed algorithm further reduces the computational complexity of the joint antenna selection and has better performance than other decoupling-based algorithms when the selected antenna subset is small as compared to the total number of antennas.

Energy Efficient Multi-Antenna UAV-Enabled Mobile Relay

In this paper, we study an energy efficient multi-antenna unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-enabled half-duplex mobile relaying system under Rician fading channels. By assuming that the UAV follows a circular trajectory at fixed altitude and applying the decode-and-forward relaying strategy, we maximize the energy efficiency by jointly designing beamforming, power allocation, circular radius and flight speed, subject to the sum transmit power constraint on source node and UAV relay node. First, we maximize the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio by jointly designing beamforming and statistical power allocation. Based on the obtained beamforming and power allocation results, we then obtain a semi closed-form expression of energy efficiency, and finally maximize energy efficiency by optimizing flight speed and circular radius, allowing optimal circular radius to be obtained via numerical computation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the system energy efficiency.

A four spiral slots microstrip patch antenna for radiotelemetry capsules based on FDTD

Antenna is very crucial to radiotelemetry capsules which can measure the physiological parameters of the gastroin- testinal (GI) tract. The objective of this paper is to design a novel spiral slots microstrip patch antenna for the radiotelemetry capsules communicating with external recorder at 915 MHz located in ISM (Industry, Science, and Medical) bands. The microstrip patch antenna is designed and evaluated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Return loss characteristics and the effect of the human body on resonant frequency are analyzed, and the performances of radiation patterns at different positions of the human alimentary tract are also estimated. Finally, specific absorption rate (SAR) computations are performed, and the peak 1-g and 10-g SAR values are calculated. According to the peak SAR values, the maximum delivered power for the designed antenna was found so that the SAR values of the antenna satisfy the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) limitations.

Analysis of effect of pressure on surface accuracy for inflatable antenna

Pressure is one of the important measures to control the surface accuracy of the reflector of inflatable antenna. Experiments and numerical analysis were carried out to highlight the effect of pressure on accuracy. The rapid, contactless and low-cost digital photogrammetry system （DIES） was employed to investigate the effect according to its lightweight and flexible characteristics. Measurement data show that the best pressure and the best area in this pressure can be obtained. Numerical analysis was conducted to check the measurement result. It is indicated that there is a little difference between them attributed to wrinkle. Results of analysis and experiments show that surface accuracy of the reflector can be adjusted by controlling pressure.

Filtering algorithm and direction identification in relative position estimation based on induction loop-cable

A filtering algorithm and direction identification method are presented for the positioning system of the mid-speed maglev train. Considering the special structure of the mid-speed maglev train, the ground position estimation method is adopted for its traction system. As the train is running, the induction loop-cable receives the signal sent by the on-board antenna to detect the position and direction of the train. But the height of the on-board antenna relative to the loop-cable is highly vulnerable to the change of the suspension height and the magnetic field produced by the traction during traveling, which may lead to amplitude fluctuation of the received signal. Consequently, the position estimation may be inaccurate. Therefore, a discrete second-order nonlinear trackdifferentiator is proposed based on the boundary characteristic curves, and the new differentiator could also extract the running direction of the train for the traction system. The experimental results show that the tracking differentiator can effectively filter out the signal interference and can provide accurate direction signal.

Full Diversity Reception Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory for Network Coding with Multiple-Antennas Relay

In this paper,a two-way relay system which achieves bi-directional communication via a multiple-antenna relay in two time slots is studied.In the multiple access(MA) phase,the novel receive schemes based on Dempster-Shafer(D-S) evidence theory are proposed at the relay node.Instead of traditional linear detection,the first proposed MIMO-DS NC scheme adopts D-S evidence theory to detect the signals of each source node before mapping them into network-coded signal.Moreover,different from traditional physical-layer network coding(PNC) based on virtual MIMO model,the further proposed MIMO-DS PNC comes from the vector space perspective and combines PNC mapping with D-S theory to obtain network-coded signal without estimating each source node signal.D-S theory can appropriately characterize uncertainty and make full use of multiple evidence source information by Dempster's combination rule to obtain reliable decisions.In the broadcast(BC) phase,the space-time coding(STC) and antenna selection(AS) schemes are adopted to achieve transmit diversity.Simulation results reveal that the STC and AS schemes both achieve full transmit diversity in the BC phase and the proposed MIMO-DS NC/PNC schemes obtain better end-to-end BER performance and throughputs compared with traditional schemes with a little complexity increasing and no matter which scheme is adopted in the BC phase,MIMO-DS PNC always achieves full end-to-end diversity gain as MIMO-ML NC but with a lower complexity and its throughput approaches the throughput of MIMO-ML NC in high SNR regime.

Multiband printed monopole and dipole antenna with square-nested fractal

A kind of novel muhiband antenna with square-nested fractal is proposed and designed, including printed monopole antenna and dipole antenna, which are nested with a series of similar square elements. The antennas can synchronously operate in multiple frequencies, covering the four required frequencies, 2.4GHz/ 3.5GHz/5.2GHz/5.8GHz, for WLAN/WiMAX application. The antenna surface currents are simulated by CST MWS, a three-dimension full-wave electromagnetic simulator, and the multiband operating mechanism has been explained from analysis of the simulation results. Then the models of the two proposed antennas fed by coplanar waveguide （monopole antenna） and balanced microstripline （dipole antenna）, respectively, have been obtained. Finally, prototypes of the two antennas have been manufactured and measured in anechoic chamber. The results well match the simulation results, which verifies the feasibility of design idea. Moreover, these antennas are miniature and the design idea can be easily applied into other types of nested structure, the features of which make the Proposed antennas have promising application in muhiband fields.

Achievable Uplink Rate Analysis for Distributed Massive MIMO Systems with Interference from Adjacent Cells

This work focuses on the multicell multi-user distributed massive MIMO(DM-MIMO)systems,of which each user is equipped with single antenna and the base stations(BSs)consists of distributed antenna units. We first investigate the arbitrary BS antenna topology scenario. The derivation indicates that in this case the achievable uplink rate of an arbitrary user in central cell depends on both the number of BS's antennas and the users' access distance to each distributed antenna unit(DAU). As a result,the performance analysis based on the derivations is difficult. To overcome this issue and achieve clearer insight,we then consider a circularly distributed BS antenna array and obtain the asymptotic uplink rate of an arbitrary user by considering the asymptotic case where the number of antennas of BSs tends to infinity. It is achieved that the asymptotic uplink rate only depends on the distance from users' position to the center of reference cell. The presented numerical results show clearly that the distributed massive MIMO systems outperform the centralized ones. Moreover,it is also achieved that the interference from the adjacent cells imposes great impact on system performance. Besides this,in numerical analysis the averageasymptotic uplink rate of a user is presented,which is free of the users' position and only depends on the radius of circular antenna arrays. It is achieved the maximum average uplink rate would be achieved when the radius of circularly distributed antenna array goes to its optimization location.

High-gain planar TEM horn antenna fed by balanced microstrip line

A printed TEM horn antenna with high gain fed by balanced microstrip line is proposed. The radia- tion part of the antenna consists of two symmetrical triangular metal slice branches printed on the FR-4 substrate with 1.5 mrn thickness. The two branches are fed by balanced mierostrip line. The antenna is simulated by soft- ware CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and the equivalent adopted dipole model is proposed to describe the radia- tion characteristic of the antenna. The simulation results indicate that the frequency range is from 1.64 GHz to 5 GHz with reflection coefficient less than -6 dB, and the typical gain value is 8 dB in the operating band- width. In order to improve antenna gain without influencing the bandwidth, the length of the dielectric slab should be extended appropriately in the main radiation direction. By extending the length of the dielectric slab appropriately in the main radiation direction, the antenna gain can be improved significantly without the influ- ence on the bandwidth. Besides, a metal disc loaded in the radiation direction makes the gain in band be more stable. The prototype has been fabricated and measured in microwave anechoic chamber which is coincident with the simulation results. This antenna can be widely applied in the UWB field.

THE TR-UWB RECEIVER BASED ON SPATIAL DIVERSITY

This paper presents a new Transmitted Reference (TR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) receiver based on Spatial Diversity (SD), which employs Multi-Antenna Technology (MAT) to improve the performance of TR-UWB receiver. According to the amplitude of correlator output of every antenna branch, this paper analyzed the performances of the proposed TR-UWB receiver employing three different kinds of combination strategies, i.e., Maximum Ratio Combination (MRC), Equal Gain Combination (EGC), and Selective Combination (SC), which are different from conventional ones, and theoretically proved that the performance of EGC is better than MRC. Simulation results verify that when EGC is adopted and BER=10-3, increasing three antennas provides Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gain of about 3 dB in CM4 channel and SNR gain of about 2 dB in CM2 channel.

A Blind Adaptive Jamming Canceller Using Antenna Array for GPS Receiver

Traditional beamformers need to know the incident angle of the desired signal leading while its abili-ty to handle interference is limited.In this paper,the constrained steer vector of linearly constrained min-imum-variance(LCMV)beamformer is modified to make sidelobe null to direction of powerful jammer.Inaddition,the state-space concept is used to describe the anti-jammer filter,and Kalman filter algorithm isdeduced by building the observation model and measurement equation.The new method is more efficient oncomputation and more robust to survive environment with large scale variation in interference strength.Fi-nally,simulation results shows that the new approach can form the null with its depth in proportion to powerin direction of jammer,and has steady convergence process.The novel method can effectively improve thesignal-to-jammer-plus-noise power ratio(SJNR)of GPS signals to make the correlation peak easy to track.

Performance Evaluation of Antenna Receive Diversity in SlMO-OFDM System over Rayleigh Fading Channel

This paper represents a comparative performance evaluation of different diversity combining techniques for a SIMO-OFDM （single-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing） system over Rayleigh fading channel. OFDM is a key technique for achieving high data rates and spectral efficiency requirements for wireless communication systems. But in scattering environment, the system performances are severely degraded by the effects of multipath fading and inter-symbol interference. In wireless communication systems, antenna diversity is an important technique to combat multipath fading in order to improve the system performance and increase the channel capacity. In this paper, the performance of different diversity combining techniques-SC （selection combining）, EGC （equal gain combining） and MRC （maximal ratio combining） has been analyzed and compared in terms of SNR （signal to noise ratio） and BER （bit error rate） probability. The simulation results show that the maximal ratio combining technique provides maximum performance improvement relative to all other combining schemes by maximizing the SNR of SIMO-OFDM system at the combiner output. The analytic expressions of error probability and effective bit energy to noise ratio correlated with BPSK （binary phase shift keying） modulation have been derived and formulated for N-branch SC, EGC and MRC schemes. The BER characteristics for all three combining techniques are simulated in MATLAB （matrix laboratory） tool box for varying bit energy to noise ratio. Our results also derives that SNR can be improved if the number of receiving antenna is increased, which in turn reduces BER over a Rayleigh fading channel.

The average relative errors of receiving power of both antennas were calculated. The optimal position of the centralized antenna was obtained by Gaussian function refinement, making the system achieve a better transmission power with the same coverage effect, and providing a reference for antenna location in the future real communication in the cabin.

Asymptotic sum rate of MMSE receivers in multi-user distributed antenna systems

It shows that inter-user interference is efficiently mitigated and the uplink sum rate of a multi-user DAS is greatly improved by adopting MMSE receivers. For very large number of users and remote antennas, the asymptotic uplink sum rate of MMSE receivers is derived by using virtue of the random matrix theory, which can be The approximation is verified to be quite accurate by Monte Carlo simply calculated in an iterative way simulations.
