Multiple input, multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) systems are the candidate for the future wireless communications. However, the main drawback of MIMO OFDM systems is their sensitivity to carrier frequency offset (CFO) similar to the single input, single output OFDM (SISO OFDM) systems. The demodulation of a signal with CFO causes large bit error rate and degrade the performance of a symbol synchronizer. It is important to estimate the frequency offset and minimize or eliminate its impact. In this paper, we propose a technique based on observation training symbols for estimating CFO by employing block-by-block estimation for SISO OFDM systems. The technique of SISO OFDM is extended to the MIMO OFDM systems. Simulation results show that the proposed techniques have a superior performance and better accuracy compared to the conventional techniques in the sense of mean square error.

The conventional techniques for the prediction of natural frequency are often used to estimate the floor vibration. However. the predicted frequency differs significantly from the measured one since the predicted equation is not able to proper1y treat various material type. Transformation of slab section is necessary to predict natural frequency of composite deck plate, and this effort is complicated due to the various shape of each deck plate. In this study, a new simplified methodology to transform slab section is proposed, which treats effective depth as the distance from the top of a concrete topping to neutral axis of each deck plate. Finally proposed equation with fairly reasonable result compared to the measured values is obtained. based on the modification of vibration equation from LRFD theory. This efforts enhance errors in predicting frequency up to 15％.

This paper introduces a radar signal processing technique for intelligent rear view monitoring of an automobile. The linear frequency modulation-frequency shift keying(LFM-FSK) waveform, which is the combination of frequency modulation continuous wave(FMCW) and frequency shift keying(FSK) waveform, is employed to simultaneously estimate the range, relative aspect angle, and velocity of an automobile. Hence, it can be applied to monitor the rear view of an automobile. FMCW waveform has high range resolution capability, but it produces ghost targets under a multiple target environment. In contrast, FSK waveform can provide high velocity resolution and avoids the problem of ghost targets. However, it fails to identify multiple targets along the radar's line of sight. With LFM-FSK waveform, we can estimate the ranges and velocities of multiple targets with very high resolution, which avoids the ghost target problem of an FMCW waveform. Simulation result shows that LFM-FSK wavefrom is suitable for use in the lane change assistance system for an automobile.

With the increased demand for automotive radar systems, mutual interference between vehicles has become a crucial issue that must be resolved to ensure better automotive safety. Mutual interference between frequency modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) radar system appears in the form of increased noise levels in the frequency domain and results in a failure to separate the target object from interferers. The traditional fast fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, which is used to estimate the beat frequency, is vulnerable in interference-limited automotive radar environments. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose a high-resolution frequency estimation technique for use in interference environments. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithms, a 77GHz FMCW radar system is considered. The proposed method employs a high-resolution algorithm, specially the multiple signal classification and estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques, which are able to estimate beat frequency accurately.

The purpose of numerical analysis is to design an effective algorithm to realize some mathematical model on computer. In general the approximate value, which is obtained from computer operation, is not the same as the real value that is given by mathematical theory. Therefore the mr estimate measuring how approximate value is near to the real value, is the most significant task to evaluate the efficiency of algorithm. The limit of an error is used for mr estimation at the most case, but the exact mr evaluation could not be expected to get for there is no way to know the real value of the given problem. Wegmann's method has been researched, which is one of the solution to derive the numerical conformal mapping. We proposed an improved method for convergency by applying a low frequency filter to the Wegmann's method. In this paper we investigate error analysis based on some mathematical theory and propose an effective method which makes us able to estimate an error if the real value is not acquired. This kind of proposed method is also proved by numerical experiment.

Recently, frequency offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing has been proposed by Ren et al. (REA). The method can estimate an frequency offset independently from training symbol structure. In REA method, however, the detection probability of integer frequency offset is varying according to fractional frequency offset. In this paper, we first analysis REA frequency offset estimation method, and define new detection criteria suitable for the method. Then, we propose efficient integer frequency offset estimation method based on the new detection criteria and maximum likelihood method. The proposed method still has the advantages of REA method, while overcome the drawback. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the REA method, in terms of integer frequency offset detection probability.

This is study to estimate the pump induced vibration in time and frequency domain by frequency response function between two points in case of 20Hp and 50Hp centrifugal pumps. The frequency response function has real and imaginary information of signals, and response function has also real and imaginary information. So the vibration force can be obtained from the response function and frequency response function by complex calculation. And it is compared with the theoretically estimated values and it is suggested that the amplitude of vibration with main frequency is about 10~25% of pump and motor weight, and the magnitude of unbalanced mass is about 30~60% of pump and motor weight to estimated vibration force in time domain. There are the other kinds of vibration components with different frequency values of 2~3 times of its main frequency, and these kinds of information are used to control the tuning ratio between operating frequency of pump and structural frequency of concrete slab.

MR, using the reduced rank models, is designed, appling the approximation of linear system to LP(Linear Prediction). The MR method is analyzed. Monte-carlo simulations are conducted for MR and Lp. The results are compared with in terms of mean, root-mean square and relative bias. MR eliminates effectevely the extremeous and exceptional poles appearing in LP and improves the accuracy of LP. Especially, MR gives promising results in short noisy measurements, low SNR's and colored noises. Power spectral density and angular frequency position are showed by figures, for examples. Finally, the new method is utilized to the communication and biomedical systems estimating the characteristics of the signal and the system identification modelling the dynamic systems from experimental data.

To investigate the surface effects on vibration of embedded circular curved nanosize beams, nonlocal elasticity model is used in combination with surface properties including surface elasticity, surface tension and surface density for modeling the nano scale effect. The governing equations are determined via the energy method. Analytically Navier method is utilized to solve the governing equations for simply supported at both ends. Solving these equations enables us to estimate the natural frequency for circular curved nanobeam including Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations. The results determined are verified by comparing the results by available ones in literature. The effects of various parameters such as nonlocal parameter, surface properties, Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations and opening angle of circular curved nanobeam on the natural frequency are successfully studied. The results reveal that the natural frequency of circular curved nanobeam is significantly influenced by these effects.
