In this paper, the spatial modulation (SM) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system is proposed for indoor wireless local area networks (WLANs) with improved spectral efficiency. SM is suitable for high speed WLANs with avoiding the inter channel interference (ICI). Only one transmit antenna is activated in SM at each symbol interval. Therefore, it fails to attain the maximum coding gain of MIMO. The space time block code (STBC)-SM MIMO system can attain the maximum diversity gain at the expense of spectral efficiency. The proposed Golden-SM MIMO system uses the Golden code to improve the coding gain and spectral efficiency at the same time. The Golden code is adapted for STBC-SM and it makes the new code book for transmission symbols. The performance of the proposed system is compared with the conventional systems with computer simulations.

본 논문에서는 케이블 TV 콘텐트를 대용량의 Wi-Fi 통신을 이용하여 전송하고, 집 안에 배치된 여러 가지의 수신기를 이용하여 콘텐트를 편하게 즐길 수 있는 서비스에 적합한 SM(spatial modulation) 전송기법의 수신 성능을 분석한다. 케이블 채널의 개수는 100가지가 넘으며 HD 이상의 화질을 가진다. 이러한 수십 개의 대용량 콘텐트를 무선으로 한정된 대역폭에 전송하기 위해서는 공간다중화 방식의 MIMO 기법이 필요하다. 그 중에서도 채널 간의 간섭이 많은 집 안 환경에 적합한 SM 전송기법은 수신 신호간의 간섭이 없으며 수신기가 간단하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 기존 SM의 낮은 대역효율을 증가시키기 위한 golden-SM 방식도 제안되었다. 그러나 실제 채널 환경에서의 기존 SM 전송기법들의 수신 성능은 비교된 것이 거의 없으므로 본 논문에서는 WiMAX(IEEE802.16a)에서 사용되고 있는 SUI 채널 모델을 고려하여 기존 SM 기법들의 수신 성능을 비교분석하였다.

Recently, spatial modulation (SM) schemes are considered to improve the reception performance in spatially correlated channel environments. SM schemes utilize a switching method between multiple transmitters to reduce the correlation among multiple transmitters to reduce the correlation of each received signals and can support transmission additional bits using antenna combinations without extra bandwidth. Therefore, SM schemes can overcome correlation interference of conventional MIMO in urban wireless channels. However, the performance comparisons between SM schemes are not yet performed in correlated urban wireless channels. In this paper, some representative SM schemes are compared and a suitable SM-MIMO system in correlated urban wireless channels is proposed.

Recent developments in nanocrystalline and nanocomposite rare earth-transition metal magnets are reviewed and emphasis is placed on research work at IFW Dresden. Principal synthesis methods include high energy ball milling, melt spinning, mold casting and hydrogen assisted methods such as reactive milling and hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination. These techniques are applied to NdFeB-, PrFeB- and SmCo-type systems with the aim to produce high remanence magnets with high coercivity. Concepts of maximizing the energy density in nanostructured magnets by either inducing a texture via anisotropic HDDR or hot deformation or enhancing the remanence via magnetic exchange coupling are evaluated. With respect to high temperature applications melt spun $Sm(Co_{0.74}Fe_{0.1}Cu_{0.12}Zr_{0.04})_{7.5}$ ribbons were prepared, which showed coercivities of up to 0.53 T at 50$0^{\circ}C$. Partially amorphous $Nd_{60}Fe_xCo_{30-x}Al_{10}(0{\leq}x{\leq}30)$ alloys were prepared by copper mold casting. The effect of transition metal content on the glass-forming ability and the magnetic properties was investigated. The $Nd_{60}Co_{30}Al_{10}$ alloy exhibits an amorphous structure shown by the corresponding diffraction pattern. A small substitution of Co by 2.5 at.% Fe results In the formation of Fe-rich crystallites embedded in the Nd-rich amorphous matrix. The Fe-rich crystallites show hard magnetic behaviour at room temperature with a coercivity value of about 0.4 T, relatively low saturation magnetization and a Curie temperature of 500 K.
