Performance Analysis of MIMO Based CDMA Code Acquisition Over Rayleigh Fading Channels

This paper proposes a new MIMO based CDMA code acquisition scheme. The pilot codes consist of a number of short Gold code sequences which are transmitted in parallel using a group of transmit antennas. Reception diversity is performed by multiple receive antennas at the receiver. Three different acquisition detection techniques are proposed and compared. Corresponding threshold optimizations are investigated as well. Detection and false alarm probabilities are derived in closed form based on the outputs of non-coherent matched filters. The acquisition performance is evaluated in terms of mean acquisition time (MAT) in Rayleigh fading environment. It is shown that the proposed MIMO acquisition scheme exhibits a much better MAT performance than the conventional single-antenna acquisition scheme. The results reveal that multiple receive antennas can be utilized to significantly reduce the MAT at the expense of receiver complexity increase. On the other hand, increasing the number of transmit antennas makes the MAT performance more robust in the presence of strong interference.     

Sum and difference coarray based MIMO radar array optimization with its application for DOA estimation

Based on the sum and difference coarrays, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with minimum redundancy (MR) concept, referred to as MR MIMO, can considerably increase the spatial degrees of freedom (DOFs). However, traditional MR MIMO needs computational search to determine the position of each element. In this paper, a modified MR monostatic MIMO configuration is proposed, referred to as MMRM MIMO. In the proposed system, the MMRM MIMO radar is consisted of several levels of uniform linear array, which brings the advantage that the position of each element can be determined without computational search. Furthermore, it offers more than \(N^{2}\) DOFs for an N-elemental array. In order to utilize the extended DOFs of MMRM MIMO radar for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, an average Toeplitz approximation method (TAM) is employed, which achieves robust performance even under low signal-to-noise ratio, few snapshots and array error. Numerous simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for DOA estimation.

On the feasibility of a Doppler weather radar for estimates of dropsize distribution using two closely spaced frequencies

Dual-frequency weather radar data can be gathered using a single broadband power amplifier and antenna for the purpose of estimating parameters of the hydrometeor size distribution. This is an attractive feature for observation platforms that are limited with respect to mass or available power. Whether useful properties of the scattering medium can be obtained from data of this type is the focus of the paper. Generally, as the center frequency or the bandwidth is decreased, the reflectivity factor difference falls below the level of the inherent signal fluctuations. Even if large numbers of independent samples can be gathered to permit estimates of the differential signals, the question remains as to whether the signal can be related unambiguously to properties of the rain or snow. Center frequencies at or near 35 GHz with bandwidths in excess of 5% give relatively strong differential signals. The signal, moreover, is directly related to the median mass diameter of the size distribution. The differential mean Doppler at frequencies where non-Rayleigh scattering effects are significant is also of use because the quantity depends only on the terminal velocity of the drops and is insensitive to the mean air and platform motion. In principle, the mean and differential mean Doppler velocities from a nadir-viewing radar can be used to estimate the mean vertical air motion and the median drop diameter of the size distribution

Left-Handed Transmission Line Based on Resonant-Slot Coupled Cavity Chain

In this letter, a novel realization of left-handed transmission line is presented; the proposed structure is based on identical symmetrical resonant-slot coupled cavity chain. The dispersion characteristic of the resonant-slot coupled cavity chain is analyzed by means of field theory and finite element method (FEM) eigenmode simulation, and a left-handed passband is proved to exist. A backward wave behavior is demonstrated unambiguously from FEM driven modal simulation. The phase front is observed to be in the opposite direction with respect to the energy one for a finite nine-unit cell prototype     

Analysis of FMRI data using an integrated principal component analysis and supervised affinity propagation clustering approach

Clustering analysis is a promising data-driven method for analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series data. The huge computational load, however, creates practical difficulties for this technique. We present a novel approach, integrating principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised affinity propagation clustering (SAPC). In this method, fMRI data are initially processed by PCA to obtain a preliminary image of brain activation. SAPC is then used to detect different brain functional activation patterns. We used a supervised Silhouette index to optimize clustering quality and automatically search for the optimal parameter p in SAPC, so that the basic affinity propagation clustering is improved by applying SAPC. Four simulation studies and tests with three in vivo fMRI datasets containing data from both block-design and event-related experiments revealed that functional brain activation was effectively detected and different response patterns were distinguished using our integrated method. In addition, the improved SAPC method was superior to the k -centers clustering and hierarchical clustering methods in both block-design and event-related fMRI data, as measured by the average squared error. These results suggest that our proposed novel integrated approach will be useful for detecting brain functional activation in both block-design and event-related experimental fMRI data.
