In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

The processes of reflection of three-dimensional electromagnetic waves by locally irregular media interfaces are investigated. The problem under study is mathematically reduced to the solution of a boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations in an infinite space with an irregular boundary. In order to develop a numerical algorithm, the potential theory and a special…

Increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation parameters determination will improve the efficiency of air conveyance by optimizing the flight trajectories and reducing the flight time and simultaneously will ensure the sufficient level of air conveyance safety. The…

In this study, a control system of a feedback device of temperature sensation for myoelectric prosthetic hand users was improved. The device is mounted on a user’s upper arm in contact with the skin, and transfers the temperature sensation in the upper arm corresponding to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at the fingertip…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) antenna employs a small frequency increment, as compared with the carrier frequency, across antenna array elements. The use of a frequency increment generates an array factor that is dependent on angle, time, and the range and this yields a range and angle dependent beampattern. In this paper, a transmit array beamforming…

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) employs a small frequency increment across its array elements to provide range, angle and time dependent beampattern. In most radar systems, FDA with linear frequency offsets have been employed. But, its transmit beampattern is coupled in range and angle dimensions, which may degrade the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio performance. Note that nonlinear…

We know that J.Aczel…

The World Health Organization (WHO) report on the circumstances of clinical facilities in developing countries indicates that, there is considerable efficient delivery of medical services to the rural inhabitants where the services are available, these services are very expensive and not affordable to the average citizen. This has risen inadequacies such as prolonged suffering and…

The automation surveying is one of the most influential changes to surveying concept and profession has had to go through, this has taken effect in two major courses, hardware (instrumentation used in data collection and presentation), and the software (the applications used in data processing and manipulation). Automation is majorly computer based and just like…

A process for the determination of a required spatial resolution in the collection of the Received Signal Level (RSL) is discussed.
