Minimization of a rectangular patch using genetic algorithms
2002
In recent years, the miniaturization of antennas have become more and more important, especially in connection with subscriber transceivers for cellular systems. Due to the multiple scattering environments and the almost indefinable operating scenario, the crosspolarization characteristics of the antenna are less important, however its physical size is critical. The attempts to reduce the physical size of the antenna made in the past, used classical methods, such as embedding the antenna in a dielectric medium of a high permittivity, adding a resistive element in series with the antenna, etc., but little effort was invested in simply generating other geometries, which by their intrinsic pro…
The UWB-OFDM Channel Analysis in Frequency
2009
In this paper, the ultra-wideband channel with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (UWB-OFDM) is analyzed in the frequency domain. For UWB-OFDM channels with log-normal fading in the time domain, we show that the amplitude of each subcarrier can be approximated by a Nakagami-m random variable, where the fading parameter, the mean power and the correlation coefficient are expressed in terms of the following parameters: time arrival of the clusters, inter-arrival time of rays inside clusters, and power decay constants of rays and clusters.
Geometry-Based Statistical Modeling of Non-WSSUS Mobile-to-Mobile Rayleigh Fading Channels
2017
In this paper, we present a novel geometry-based statistical model for small-scale non-wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (non-WSSUS) mobile-to-mobile (M2M) Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed model builds on the principles of plane wave propagation to capture the temporal evolution of the propagation delay and Doppler shift of the received multipath signal. This is different from existing non-WSSUS geometry-based statistical channel models, which are based on a spherical wave propagation approach, that in spite of being more realistic is more mathematically intricate. By considering an arbitrary geometrical configuration of the propagation area, we derive general expressions …
Transition behavior in the channel capacity of two-quibit channels with memory
2004
We prove that a general upper bound on the maximal mutual information of quantum channels is saturated in the case of Pauli channels with an arbitrary degree of memory. For a subset of such channels we explicitly identify the optimal signal states. We show analytically that for such a class of channels entangled states are indeed optimal above a given memory threshold.
Electromagnetic scattering by a strip grating with nonplanar illumination
1993
An angular-spectrum method combined with the Galerkin procedure has been used to evaluate the electromagnetic scattering of a beam radiated by an aperture antenna after being incident obliquely upon a strip grating. Integral expressions for the transmitted and reflected fields are obtained. The incident beam radiated by the antenna is diffracted in several beams corresponding to the propagative Floquet harmonics. An angular shift of the transmitted and reflected fundamental harmonic beams has been shown. Comparison between numerical and experimental results validates this method. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Search for Z0 decays to two leptons and a charged particle-antiparticle pair
1993
Based on a sample equivalent to 365 000 hadronic Z0 decays, the search in DELPHI data for pairs of leptons accompanied by a pair of charged particles is described. A total of 11 events were found in the electron channel, 9 in the muon channel and 7 in the tau channel. Results on lepton pairs with a radiated photon are also presented. The data from all channels are compatible with the expectations from standard processes. However, one event was found in the tau channel with an unusually high mass of the charged particle pair.
Electrodynamic Characteristics of a Strip Antenna Located on a Plane Interface of a Resonant Magnetoplasma and an Isotropic Medium
2015
We study the electrodynamic characteristics of an antenna having the form of an infinitesimally thin, perfectly conducting narrow strip located on a plane interface of a resonant magnetoplasma and an isotropic medium. The antenna is perpendicular to an external magnetic field and is excited by a given voltage. Singular integral equations for the antenna current, on the basis of which the current distribution is found in the case of an infinitely long radiator, are obtained. The limits of applicability of an approximate method based on the transmission line theory for determining the current distribution and input impedance of the antenna are established. Within the framework of this method,…
Simple non-Markovian microscopic models for the depolarizing channel of a single qubit
2012
The archetypal one-qubit noisy channels ---depolarizing, phase-damping and amplitude-damping channels--- describe both Markovian and non-Markovian evolution. Simple microscopic models for the depolarizing channel, both classical and quantum, are considered. Microscopic models which describe phase damping and amplitude damping channels are briefly reviewed.
The Wigner Distribution of Sum-of-Cissoids and Sum-of-Chirps Processes for the Modelling of Stationary and Non-Stationary Mobile Channels
2016
This paper concerns the time-frequency analysis of stationary and non-stationary multipath flat fading channels. For the modelling of stationary multipath fading channels, we use a sum-of-cisoids (SOCi) process, while the non-stationary channel is modelled by a sum-of-chirps (SOCh) process that captures the time-variant Doppler effect caused by speed variations of the mobile station. For the time-frequency analysis, we apply the concept of the Wigner distribution. Closed-form solutions are provided for the Wigner distribution of SOCi and SOCh processes. It is shown that the obtained Wigner distributions can be expressed by the sum of an auto-term representing the true Doppler power spectral…
A study on the distribution of the envelope and the capacity of underwater acoustic channels
2014
This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the instantaneous capacity of shallow underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) channels under the assumption that the scatterers are randomly distributed on the surface and bottom of the ocean. We start by deriving exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) of the total propagation path length from which the PDF of the path gains is obtained. Then, we study the distributions of the channel envelope and the capacity under line-of-sight (LOS) conditions. By performing the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, it is shown that the channel envelope is Rice distributed. Moreover, we investigate the effect of the ocean dep…
