Surface plasmon resonance(SPR) has been widely studied for biological and chemical sensing applications. The present study conducts numerical simulation for the single and bimetallic layer SPR configurations by using the multiple beam interference matrix(MBIM) method to investigate the influence of wave interference and complex refractive indices of materials on optical characteristics such as reflectance and optical phase shift which are used for sensing. First, calculated reflectances are compared with experimental data for validation. In addition, in the single film structures this study finds out the appropriate film thicknesses with minimum reflectance for cases of gold film and silver film. For a bimetallic silver-gold film structure, in particular, the bimetallic film thicknesses that has the minimum reflectance are found 36 nm for silver and 5 nm for gold. From the results, the use of phase shift would be useful compared to reflectance in determining the SPR configuration because the phase shift becomes more sensitive than reflectance.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been widely used for biological and chemical sensing applications. The present study investigates numerically the optical characteristics for the single Au film and bimetallic Ag/Au film SPR configurations by using the multiple beam interference matrix (MBIM) method. We use the prism coupling method, especially Kretschmann configuration for excitation of surface plasmon wave (SPW). The estimated results of reflectance, phase shift and magnetic field intensity enhancement factor are provided for finding out the optimum configuration with high sensitivity for SPR measurement. As a result, the optimum thicknesses are found to be 52 nm for a single Au film and 5 nm to 36 nm for bimetallic Ag-Au film. From the comparison of full width half maximum (FWHM) values for reflectance, phase shift, and enhancement of magnetic field intensity, it is concluded that the highest sensitivity can be obtained when using the phase shift for SPR sensor.

In the multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, orthogonal random beamforming (ORBF) scheme is proposed to serve multiple users simultaneously in order to achieve the multi-user diversity gain. The opportunistic space-division multiple access system (OSDMA-S) scheme performs multiple weighting matrices during the training phase and chooses the best weighting matrix to be used to broadcast data during the transmitting phase. The OSDMA-S scheme works better than the original ORBF by decreasing the inter-user interference during the transmitting phase. To save more time in the training phase, a partly random multiple weighting matrices selection scheme is proposed in this paper. In our proposed scheme, the Base Station does not need to use several unitary matrices to broadcast pilot symbol. Actually, only one broadcasting operation is needed. Each subscriber generates several virtual equivalent channels with a set of pre-saved unitary matrices and the channel status information gained from the broadcasting operation. The signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of each beam in each virtual equivalent channel is calculated and fed back to the base station for the weighting matrix selection and multi-user scheduling. According to the theoretical analysis, the proposed scheme relatively expands the transmitting phase and reduces the interactive complexity between the Base Station and subscribers. The asymptotic analysis and the simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the throughput performance of the multi-user MIMO system.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the performance analysis of the sidelobe blanker (SLB) in radar system, which is based on the matrix pencil method (MPM). In general, the SLB in radar is composed of the main antenna, the auxiliary antenna, and the processing unit. The auxiliary antenna with wide beamwidth receives interference signals such as jamming or clutter signals. The main antenna with high gain receives the target signal in the main beam and the interference signals in the sidelobe. In this paper the Swerling model is used as the target echo signal by considering a probabilistic radar cross section (RCS) of the target. To estimate the SLB performance it needs to calculate the probability of target detection and the probability of blanking the interference by using the signals received from the main and auxiliary antennas. The detection probability and the blanking probability include multiple summations of infinite series with infinite integrations, of which convergence rate is very slow. Increase of summation range to improve the calculation accuracy may lead to an overflow error in computer simulations. In this paper, to resolve the above problems, we used the MPM to calculate a summation of infinite series and improved the calculation accuracy and the convergence rate.

본 논문은 적용적으로 빔패턴을 형성하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 원하는 신호가 각 간섭신호에 비하여 파워가 현저히 크다는 조건하에서 - 정상적인 COMA 이동통신에서 이 조건은 칩상관기를 거친 후에 무조건 성립한다.- 신호대 잡음비(SNR)/신호대 간섭비(SIR)를 증가시키는 빔패턴을 제공하기때문에 통신채널의 용량의 증가 및 통신품질 향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 제안 방법의 주요 장점은 다음과 같이 나열할 수 있다. (1) 학습신호나 학습기간이 필요없다. (2) 신호간의 상관성으로 인하여 성능이 나빠지거나 절차가 복잡해지지 않는다, (3) 어레이를 구성하는 안테나의 수가 도달하는 신호들의 수보다 많지 않아도 된다. (4) 전체의 절차가 반복적이어서 신호원의 움직임으로 인하여 도달각이 변하는 경우에도 새로운 데이타로부터 새로운 빔패턴이 형성될 수 있다, (5) 전체 계산량이 기존 방법에 비하여 매우 작기 때문에, 매 스냅샷마다 실시간으로 빔패턴형성이 가능하다. 실제로, 새로운 웨이트를 구하는데 소요되는 계산량은 $N{\times}N$ 크기(N은 어레이를 구성하는 안테나의 수)의 자기상관행렬을 갱신하는 과정을 포함하여 $0(3N^2 + 12N)$이다. 자기 상관 행렬을 매 스냅샷 마디의 순시신호벡터로 근사화시키면 0(11N)으로 줄어들게 된다.
