In this paper, an additional degree of freedom in phased multi-input multi-output (phased-MIMO) radar with any arbitrary desired covariance matrix is proposed using space-time codes. By using the proposed method, any desired transmit covariance matrix in MIMO radar (phased-MIMO radars) can be realized by employing fully correlated base waveforms such as phased-array radars and simply extending them to different time slots with predesigned phases and amplitudes. In the proposed method, the transmit covariance matrix depends on the base waveform and space-time codes. For simplicity, a base waveform can be selected arbitrarily (ie, all base waveforms can be fully correlated, similar to phased-array radars). Therefore, any desired covariance matrix can be achieved by using a very simple phased-array structure and space-time code in the transmitter. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that it does not require diverse uncorrelated waveforms. This considerably reduces transmitter hardware and software complexity and cost. One the receiver side, multiple signals can be analyzed jointly in the time and space domains to improve the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio.

In this study size optimization of large-scale dome structures with dynamic constraints is presented. In the optimal design of these structure, the Jaya algorithm is used to find minimal size of design variables. The design variables are the cross-sectional areas of the steel truss bar elements. To take into account the constraints which are the first five natural frequencies of the structures, the finite element analysis is coded in Matlab programs using eigen values of the stiffness matrix of the dome structures. The Jaya algorithm and the finite elements codes are combined by the help of the Matlab - GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming to carry out the optimization process for the dome structures. To show the efficiency and the advances of the Jaya algorithm, 1180 bar dome structure and the 1410 bar dome structure were tested by taking into the frequency constraints. The optimal results obtained by the proposed algorithm are compared with those given in the literature to demonstrate the performance of the Jaya algorithm. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the proposed algorithm can be effectively used in the optimal design of large-scale dome structures.

This paper considers a simultaneous optimization problem of structure and control systems. The problem is generally formulated as a non-convex optimization problem for the design parameters of mechanical structure and controller. Therefore, it is not easy to obtain the global solutions for practical problems. In this paper, we parameterize all design parameters of the mechanical structure such that the parameters work in the control system as decentralized static output feedback gains. Using this parameterization, we have formulated a simultaneous optimization problem in which the design specification is defined by the Η$_2$and Η$\_$$\infty$/ norms of the closed loop transfer function. So as to lead to a convex problem we approximate the nonlinear terms of design parameters to the linear terms. Then, we propose a convex optimization method that is based on linear matrix inequality (LMI). Using this method, we can surely obtain suboptimal solution for the design specification. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

본 논문은 저 복잡도와 높은 throughput을 지원하는 LDPC 부호화기의 구조에 대하여 제안한다. LDPC 부호화기가 갖는 높은 복잡도 문제를 해결하기 위하여 기존의 복잡도가 높은 행렬 곱셈 연산기 대신에 간소화된 행렬 곱셈 연산기가 제안되었다. 또한 높은 throughput을 지원하기 위하여 행렬 곱셈 연산시 행 방향 연산 및 부분 병렬처리 연산을 적용하였다. 제안된 부호화기 구조의 로직 게이트와 메모리 사용량은 기존의 5단 파이프라인 부호화기의 구조에 비하여 각각 37.4%와 56.7%씩 감소하였다. 또한 40MHz 클럭 주파수에 대해 기존의 부호화기에 비하여 3배 이상의 throughput인 최대 800Mbps의 throughput을 지원한다.

A simultaneous optimal design problem of structural and control systems is discussed by taking a 3-D truss structure as an object. We use descriptor forms for a controlled object and a generalized plant because the structural parameters appear naturally in these forms. We consider a minimum weight design problem for structural system and disturbance suppression problem for the control system. The structural objective function is the structural weight and the control objective function is $H_{\infty}$ norm from the disturbance input to the controlled output in the closed-loop system. The design variables are cross sectional areas of the truss members. The conditions for the existence of controller are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) By minimizing the linear sum of the normalized structural objective function and control objective function, it is possible to make optimal design by which the balance of the structural weight and the control performance is taken. We showed in this paper the validity of simultaneous optimal design of structural and control systems.

Object-oriented programming goes on increasing in many areas, as its advantages of flexibility and ease of maintenance have been recognized. As in usual programmings, the productivity and flexibility of CACSD package can be improved by adopting object-oriented programmin. This paper describes our efforts to implement an OO-CACSD(Object Oriented CACSD) package for control system design and simulation. Since the proposed OO-CACSD is based on the modularity, portability, reuseability, and matrix-oriented data structure, a control system can be not only modeled and simulated but also maintained easily.

LQ-servo is a stability-robustness guaranteed multivariable controller design method based on the LQR structure to improve command following performance with output feedback. In this paper, a new type of PI controller based on LQ-servo is introduced. Then, Command following performance is improved using the limiting behavior of the control gain and weighting factors on the low frequency part of design parameter Q that is the state weighting matrix in the cost function.

This paper considers the problem of the optimal input design for parameter estimtion in the ARMAX model in which the system and noise transfer function have the common denominator polynomial. Deriving the information matrix, in detail, for the assumed model structure and using the autocorrelation functin of the filtered input as design variables, it is shown that D-optimal input signal can be realized as an autoregressive moving average process. Computer simulations are carried out to show the standard-deviation reduction in the parameter estimtes using the optimal input signal.

본 논문에서는 광대역 버틀러 매트릭스와 위상 천이기를 이용한 하이브리드 빔포밍 안테나 시스템을 제안하고, 이를 설계 및 측정하였다. 기존 $4{\times}4$ 버틀러 매트릭스는 4개의 빔패턴과 낮은 이득 때문에, $8{\times}8$ 버틀러 매트릭스를 사용하게 된다. 이 때 복잡한 구조로 인해 적층 및 양면 패턴으로 설계하게 되며, 이는 비아홀 및 Cross-over 구조에 의한 손실로 성능이 열화되게 된다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 제안된 하이브리드 빔포밍 안테나 시스템의 경우, 비아홀 손실로 인한 성능 열화를 최소화하기 위해 단면 패턴으로 구조를 단순화하였다. 또한, 두 개의 위상 천이기를 추가함으로써, 다양한 빔패턴을 제공할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 제안한 안테나 시스템을 이용하여, 16개의 입력조합으로 ${\pm}45^{\circ}$의 빔조향 각도에서 10 dBi 이상의 방사이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

Assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and receiver, the optimization problem of maximizing the minimum Euclidean distance between two received signals by a linear precoder is considered for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with arbitrary dimensions and arbitraryary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) input. A general precoding framework is first presented based on the Gram matrix, which is shown for 2-dimensional (2-D) and 3-dimensional (3-D) MIMO systems when employing the ellipse expanding method (EEM). An extended precoder for high-dimensional MIMO system is proposed following the precoding framework, where the Gram matrix for high-dimensional precoding matrix can be generated through those chosen from 2-D and 3-D results in association with a permutation matrix. A complexity-reduced maximum likelihood detector is also obtained according to the special structure of the proposed precoder. The analytical and numerical results indicate that the proposed precoder outperforms the other precoding schemes in terms of both minimum distance and bit error rate (BER).
