Power minimization with derivative constraints for high dynamic GPS interference suppression

In this paper,a novel adaptive interference suppression algorithm is proposed for high dynamic GPS (global positioning system) receiver.The new method incorporates derivative constraints on the inter-ference DOA (direction of arrival) into power minimization approach,which could broaden the width of nulls in the interferences directions and adapt to the rapid change of the interference directions.Compared with the traditional wide nulling algorithm based on the derivative constraints,the new method does not have to know or estimate the DOAs of the desired signal and the interference.The new method is firstly discussed in the context of spatial processing,and then extended to space-time adaptive processing to mitigate wideband diffusive multipath interference.Effectiveness of the new method is verified via simulation examples.

Successive interference V-BLAST systems with transmission mode cancellation （SIC）in asynchronous

The V-BLAST system with asynchronous transmission mode first proposed by Shao can achieve full diversity only by using a simple linear detection scheme under zero forcing (ZF) criterion; therefore it gives a reasonable tradeoff between complexity and performance. In this paper, we propose two types of successive interference cancellation (SIC) detection schemes for the asynchronous V-BLAST system, one is characterized by applying M _r successive interference cancellators before a maximal ratio combiner (where M _t is the number of receive antennas), and the other has a maximal ratio combiner before a successive interference cancellator. Since Type I consumes more energy of the previously detected signals to recover a signal, Type II can offer a better performance and simulations demonstrate its validity.

A fast heuristic for quay crane scheduling with interference constraints

This paper considers the problem of scheduling quay cranes which are used at sea port container terminals to load and unload containers. This problem is studied intensively in a recent stream of research but still lacks a correct treatment of crane interference constraints. We present a revised optimization model for the scheduling of quay cranes and propose a heuristic solution procedure. At its core a Branch-and-Bound algorithm is applied for searching a subset of above average quality schedules. The heuristic takes advantage from efficient criteria for branching and bounding the search with respect to the impact of crane interference. Although the used techniques are quite standard, the new heuristic produces much better solutions in considerably shorter run times than all algorithms known from the literature.     

Models and methods for frequency assignment with cumulative interference constraints

In this paper, a realistic modeling of interferences for frequency assignment in hertzian telecommunication networks is presented. In contrast with traditional interference models based only on binary interference constraints involving two frequencies, this new approach considers the case of cumulative disruptions that are modeled through a unique non‐binary constraint. To deal with these complex constraints, we propose extensions of classical integer linear programming formulations. On a set of realistic instances, we propose hybrid constraint programming and large neighborhood search solution methods to solve minimum interference and minimum span frequency assignment problems. We compare their performances with those of existing heuristics. Finally, we show how the end‐user benefits from using the cumulative model instead of the traditional one.

针对机载分布式雷达地杂波和干扰抑制的问题,提出一种基于小样本协方差重构的机载分布式雷达空时自适应处理（space-time adaptive processing,STAP）方法。该方法根据分布式雷达接收的杂波与干扰具有相关性不同的特点,首先利用小样本估计出各子雷达的杂波空时协方差矩阵和干扰全空域协方差矩阵,然后通过块对角延拓和时域拓展方法得到完整的空时协方差矩阵。所提方法利用全部空域自由度,在有效抑制杂波的同时抑制较多数量的干扰,克服了理想协方差矩阵估计时所面临的独立同分布（independent and identically distributed,i.i.d.）样本严重不足的问题。理论分析和仿真实验验证了所提方法的有效性。     

Robust linear receivers for STBC systems with unknown co-channel interference

Focusing on space-time block code (STBC) systems with unknown co-channel interference, an oblique projection-based robust linear receiver is proposed in this paper. Based on the oblique projection, the desired signal subspace and interference-plus-noise subspace are first identified from the received signal. Then the matched filter receiver is used to decode the STBC encoded signals in the desired signal subspace. Simulation results show that the proposed linear receiver obtains significant performance improvement over conventional Capon-type receivers under finite sample-size situations and in the presence of channel estimation errors.

Transmitter polarization optimization with polarimetric MIMO radar for mainlobe interference suppression

Polarization diverse design of the transmit waveforms based on the property of the target scattering matrix provides better performance than transmitting waveforms with fixed polarizations, especially for mainlobe interference suppression applications. In this work, we propose a radar system combines the advantages of multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) systems with the advantages offered by optimally choosing the transmitter polarizations, in order to achieve a better mainlobe interference suppression performance. The polarization diversity is employed in the transmit array, while the receive array adopts 2-D vector sensors to measure the horizontal and vertical components of the received signal. The optimal transmitter polarizations can be obtained by maximizing the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in each coherent processing interval (CPI). In addition, the discrimination method for the target and the interference is studied in this paper, along with the target scattering matrix estimation method. Simulation results demonstrate that interference can be effectively discriminated and suppressed with the radar configuration, and better interference suppression performance is achieved with the optimal transmitter polarizations.     

High isolation,proximity‐fed monostatic patch antennas with integrated self‐interference cancellation‐taps for ISM band full duplex applications

This work presents two dual polarized proximity‐fed monostatic patch antennas with improved interport isolation for 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical band same frequency full duplex wireless applications. The presented antennas achieves the high interport decoupling through intrinsic isolation of the polarization diversity in conjunction with a simple single‐tap and two‐taps self‐interference cancellation (SIC) topologies. The polarization diversity isolation is achieved through two perpendicular microstrip feeds for proximity feeding to excite orthogonal polarization mode for transmit (T_x) and receive (R_x) modes. The prototype for proposed antenna with integrated single‐tap and two‐taps SIC circuit is tested to record its interport isolation, impedance bandwidths and gains for both T_x and R_x ports. The implemented antenna with single‐tap SIC circuit demonstrates 10 dB return‐loss bandwidth of ≥100 MHz for both T_x and R_x ports. The measured isolation exceeds 40 dB over the 40 MHz bandwidth. Moreover, the recorded peak isolation is better than 74 dB for implemented antenna prototype. Furthermore, the 40 MHz bandwidth with 40 dB isolation can be tuned with the help of SIC‐tap as demonstrated through the experimental results. The measured gain levels are around 4.6 dBi for both T_x and R_x port. The same antenna structure with integrated two‐taps SIC topology features better than 55 dB isolation within 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 100 MHz. The peak isolation exceeds 97 dB and isolation levels are better than 60 and 80 dB over 50 and 20 MHz bandwidths, respectively, for presented antenna with two‐taps SIC configuration. The compact antenna offers comparatively wider impedance and isolation bandwidth with improved SIC levels compared to previous designs.     

A novel STAP method for the detection of fast air moving targets from high speed platform

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is an effective method for detecting moving target in airborne/spaceborne radar.However,the detection of fast air moving targets from high speed platform is challenged by the range walk of both the clutter and moving targets.It is well known that keystone formatting can be used to compensate for the range walk of multiple moving targets simultaneously without using the knowledge of the motion parameters.However,in the presence of serious Doppler ambiguity of fast air moving targets,distribution of the clutter will be affected by the keystone formatting matched to the ambiguity number of targets,and as a result the STAP performance will degrade.In this paper,a novel STAP method is proposed for the detection of fast air moving targets from high speed platform,which can deal with the range walk of both clutter and targets.Effectiveness of the new method is verified via simulation examples.
