This paper describes a VLSI implementation of BLAST detection for MIMO-OFDM systems. To achieve high speed requirement, we propose the fully pipeline architecture for BLAST structure. This design is implemented using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. For a 4-transmit and 4-receive antennas system, it takes $7.5{\mu}s$ to calculate nulling vector and detection order from 48 channel matrixes.

This paper reviews the research on silicon based phased array system operating from microwave to millimeter wave frequencies. First, the design of phase shifter using CMOS technology is presented. The passive phase shifter is applied to the transmit/receive module from one to 16 channel in a single chip. The 35 GHz 4-element T/R module consumes less than 200 mW both transmit and receive modes. The architecture can extend to 16-channel operating at 44 GHz, thereby improving transmit power and linearity. The Ku-band 2-antenna 4-element receiver was developed using active phase shifter based on vector sum method. It is important to minimize coupling between beams because the chip contains four independent beams. The method of coupling is presented and verified.

In this paper, we introduce an energy-efficient opportunistic interference alignment (OIA) scheme that greatly improves the sum-rates in multi-cell uplink networks. Each user employs optimal transmit vector design and power control in the sense of minimizing the amount of generated interference to other-cell base stations while satisfying a required signal quality. As our main result, it is shown that owing to the reduced interference level, the proposed OIA schemes attains larger sum-rates than those of OIA with no power control for almost all signal-to-noise ratio regions. In addition, when both zero-forcing and minimum mean square error (MMSE) detectors are employed at the receiver along with the OIA scheme, it is shown that the OIA scheme with MMSE detection shows superior performance.

The investigation into the effect of various feedback errors on system performance can help the robust feedback channel design and transmission of exact feedback channel information as well. In this paper, we address the algorithm that determines space combining weight vector maximizing received signal power at mobile on frequency flat fading channel and investigate the performance degradation by feedback channel delay in the FDD/CDMA systems employing transmit beamforming. We observe the effect of feedback channel delay corresponding to the number of transmit antennas and the temporal/spatial correlation of channel. The results show that performance is more sensitive to feedback delay with the larger number of antennas when fadings at transmit antennas are not spatially correlated.

In this paper, we propose a simple precoding vector design scheme for multi-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channel when there are multiple eavesdroppers. We aim to obtain a mathematical closed-form solution of the secrecy rate optimization problem. For this goal, we design the precoding vector based on the signal-to-leakage plus noise ratio (SLNR). More specifically, the proposed precoding vector is designed to completely eliminate a wiretap channel capacity for refraining the eavesdroppers from detecting the transmitted information, and to maximize the transmitter-receiver link achievable rate. We performed simulation for the performance investigation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better secrecy rate than the conventional scheme over all signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range even though the special condition among the numbers of transmit antennas, transmitter-receiver links, and eavesdroppers is not satisfied.

In this paper, we investigate a security transmission scheme at the physical layer for cooperative wireless relay networks in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. While the security scheme has been previously investigated with perfect channel state information(CSI) in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, this paper focuses on researching the robust cooperative relay beamforming mechanism for wireless relay networks which makes use of artificial noise (AN) to confuse the eavesdropper and increase its uncertainty about the source message. The transmit power used for AN is maximized to degrade the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) level at the eavesdropper, while satisfying the individual power constraint of each relay node and worst-case SINR constraint at the desired receiver under a bounded spherical region for the norm of the CSI error vector from the relays to the destination. Cooperative beamforming weight vector in the security scheme can be obtained by using S-Procedure and rank relaxation techniques. The benefit of the proposed scheme is showed in simulation results.

This paper presented the implementation and design of the 2T-2R wireless HD video streaming systems over 1.7 GHz frequency band using 3GPP LTE-TDD standard on NI USRP RIO SDR platform. The baseband of the system used USRP RIO that are stored in Xilinx Kintex-7 chip to implement LTE-TDD transceiver modem, the signal that are transmitted from USRP RIO up or down converts to 1.7 GHz by using self-designed 1.7 GHz RF transceiver modules and it is finally communicated HD video data through self-designed 2x9 sub array antennas. It is that communication method between USRP RIO and Host PC use PCI express x4 to minimize delay of data to transmit and receive. The implemented system show high error vector magnitude performance above 32 dBc and to transmit and receive HD video in experiment environment anywhere. The proposed hybrid beam forming system could be used not only in the future 5G mobile communication systems under 6 GHz frequency band but also in the systems over 6 GHz frequency band like ones in mmWave frequency bands.

In this paper, we consider K-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel and present a transceiver design for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems. In addition, we consider a SWIPT system where an information decoding receiver and an energy harvesting receiver are co-located at the same receiver. In the proposed scheme, signal-to-leakage plus noise ratio (SLNR) is used as a cost function and a transceiver is designed to satisfy the threshold of the harvested energy. More specifically, transmitter precoding vector, receiver filter vector, and power spitting factor are simultaneously designed to maximize SLNR with a constraint on the harvested energy. Through computer simulation, we compare the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) performance of the proposed and conventional schemes. When a special condition among the number of transmit antennas, receive antennas, and users is satisfied, the proposed scheme showed better SINR performance than the conventional scheme at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range. Also, when the condition is not satisfied, the proposed scheme showed better performance than the conventional scheme at all SNR range.

We propose a transmit beamforming algerian for array antenna in FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) environments. The proposed method estimates the directions and spectra of the users, and constructs the spatial covariance matrix of the interferences at the downlink frequency. The weights are computed by that covariance matrix and desired user's direction vector Simulations are performed under Rayleigh fading environments. The proposed method don't need the data feedback, has the enhanced performance in BER (Bit Error Rate).

Magnetic couplings are widely used in various industrial applications because they can transmit magnetic force without any mechanical contact. In addition, linear couplings have many advantages. For example, they do not need to convert rotary motion to linear motion. This paper shows an analytical analysis of tubular type linear magnetic couplings (TLMCs) with a Halbach array magnetized permanent magnet (PM). An analytical method for magnetic fields owing to PMs is performed by using magnetic vector potential as well as Poisson and Laplace equations. Then, the magnetic force is calculated by using the Maxwell stress tensor. The analytical analysis results were compared with finite element method (FEM) results. In addition, we predicted the magnetic force characteristic according to design parameters such as the iron core thickness, inner PM thickness to -outer PM thickness ratio, PM segment ratio of the axial magnetized PM segment and radial magnetized PM segment, and various pole numbers.
