Extended Kalman filtering-based channel estimation for space-time coded MIMO-OFDM systems

A space-time coded multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing （MIMO-OFDM） system is considered as a solution to the future wideband wireless communication system. This paper proposes an extended Kalman filtering-based （EKF-based） channel estimation method for space-time coded MIMO-OFDM systems. The proposed method can exploit pilot symbols and an extended Kalman filter to estimate channel without any prior knowledge of channel statistics. In comparison with the least square （LS） and the least mean square （LMS） methods, the EKF-based approach has a better performance in theory. Computer simulations demonstrate the proposed method outperforms the LS and LMS methods. Therefore it can offer draznatic system performance improvement at a modest cost of computational complexity.

Design and analysis of multi-channel drop filter using dual L defected hexagonal photonic crystal ring resonator

In this paper,dual L defected hexagonal Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator(PCRR)using Channel Drop Filter(CDF)is designed for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing(CWDM)systems.In this structure,the external rods of the ring resonator are arranged in a hexagon and the internal rods are removed in L arrangement for introducing defects.Scatter rods are used to prevent leakage.By using the L defected hexagonal resonator,a multi-channel CDF is designed,which exhibits multiple wavelengths of CWDM(1500 nm–1600 nm)region.In addition,the selection of rod size and the position of rods in the proposed multi-channel CDF are validated by varying the radius of coupling and scattering rods,as well as the position of resonators,respectively.By using plane wave expansion and opti Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD)method,the electromagnetic wave propagation and the photonic band gap are obtained.

A dual channel perturbation particle filter algorithm based on GPU acceleration

The particle filter（PF） algorithm is one of the most commonly used algorithms for maneuvering target tracking. The traditional PF maps from multi-dimensional information to onedimensional information during particle weight calculation, and the incorrect transmission of information leads to the fact that the particle prediction information does not match the weight information, and its essence is the reduction of the information entropy of the useful information. To solve this problem, a dual channel independent filtering method is proposed based on the idea of equalization mapping. Firstly, the particle prediction performance is described by particle manipulations of different dimensions, and the accuracy of particle prediction is improved. The improvement of particle degradation of this algorithm is analyzed in the aspects of particle weight and effective particle number. Secondly, according to the problem of lack of particle samples, the new particles are generated based on the filtering results, and the particle diversity is increased. Finally, the introduction of the graphics processing unit（GPU） parallel computing the platform, the “channel-level” and “particlelevel” parallel computing the program are designed to accelerate the algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm has the advantages of better filtering precision, higher particle efficiency and faster calculation speed compared with the traditional algorithm of the CPU platform.

A high linearity multi-band and gain adjustable channel-select filter for TV-tuner application

This paper presents a channel-select filter that employs an active-RC bi-quad structure for TV-tuner application. A design method to optimize the IIP3 of the bi-quad is developed. Multi-band selection and gain adjustment are implemented using switching resistors in the resistor array and capacitors in the capacitor array. Q-factor degradation is compensated by a tuning segmented resistor. A feed-forward OTA with high gain and low third-order distortion is applied in the bi-quad to maximize linearity performance and minimize area by avoiding extra compensation capacitor use. An RC tuning circuit and DC offset cancellation circuit are designed to overcome the process variation and DC offset, respectively. The experimental results yield an in-band IIP3 of more than 31 dBm at 0 dB gain, a 54 dB gain range with 6 dB gain step, and a continuous frequency tuning range from 0.25 to 4 MHz. The in-band ripple is less than 1.4 dB at high gain mode, while the gain error and frequency tuning error are no more than 3.4% and 5%, respectively. The design, which is fabricated in a 0.18 μm CMOS process, consumes 12.6 mW power at a 1.8 V supply and occupies 1.28 mm2.

One-step synthesis of organic microwire-disk interconnected structure for miniaturized channel filters

Miniaturized channel filters are in high demand for many applications such as photonic integrated circuits, information-based technology, and platforms for investigation of light–matter interactions.Recently, several photonic schemes have been proposed to achieve nanofilters, which require sophisticated growth techniques. Here, we have fabricated microdisk whispering-gallery-mode（WGM） resonators through controlled assembly of organic materials with an emulsion-solventevaporation method. Based on this emulsion assembly method, the diameters of microdisks can be easily controlled, and more importantly, a microwire-disk interconnected structure is able to be constructed via one-step assembly. This microwire-waveguide-connected microdisk heterostructure can be utilized as a channel drop filter. Our results have demonstrated a facile way to achieve flexible WGM-based photonic components which can be integrated with other functional devices.
