A power system designer may have difficulties in choosing a suitable multiple-input converter topology for a specific target application because each multiple-input converter topology presented in the literature has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this perspective, this paper presents a systematic topology selection method for multiple-input converters with three comparison criteria including cost-saving effect, modularity potential and flexibility. Based on these criteria, this paper proposes a strategic flow chart example for choosing a proper multiple-input converter topology. This flow chart will provide a powerful selection tool to a power system designer when he or she chooses a specific multiple-input converter for a given application.

In hybrid renewable power systems, the use of a multiple-input dc/dc converter (MIC) leads to simpler circuit and lower cost, when compared to the conventional use of several single-input converters. This paper proposed a novel three-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter, which can be used in applications with various values of input voltage. The energy sources in this converter can deliver power to the load either simultaneously or individually in one switching period. The steady relationship, the power management strategy and the small-signal circuit model of this converter have been derived. With decoupling technology, modeling and regulator design can be obtained under multi-loop control modes. Finally, three generating methods of a multiple-input buck/boost/buck-boost converter is given, and this method can be extended to the other multiple-input dc/dc converters.

A new interacting multiple model (IMM) method using intelligent input estimation (IIE) is proposed to track a maneuvering target. In the proposed method, the acceleration level for each sub-model is determined by IIE-the estimation of the unknown acceleration input by a fuzzy system using the relation between maneuvering filter residual and non-maneuvering one. The genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to optimize a fuzzy system for a sub-model within a fixed range of acceleration input. Then, multiple models are composed of these fuzzy systems, which are optimized for different ranges of acceleration input. In computer simulation for an incoming ballistic missile, the tracking performance of the proposed method is compared with those of the input estimation (IE) technique and the adaptive interacting multiple model (AIMM) method.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) efficiencies for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are formulated with a goal of achieving their maximums using Z matrices. The maximum efficiencies for any arbitrarily given configurations are obtained using optimum loads, which can be determined numerically through adequate optimization procedures in general. For some simpler special cases (single-input single-output, single-input multiple-output, and multiple-input single-output) of the MIMO systems, the efficiencies and optimum loads to maximize them can be obtained using closed-form expressions. These closed-form solutions give us more physical insight into the given WPT problem. These efficiencies are evaluated theoretically based on the presented formulation and also verified with comparisons with circuit- and EM-simulation results. They are shown to lead to a good agreement. This work may be useful for construction of the wireless Internet of Things, especially employed with energy autonomy.

In this paper, an input-series auxiliary power supply scheme is proposed, which is suitable for high input voltage and multiple-output applications. The power supply scheme is based on a two-transistor forward topology, all of the series modules have a common duty ratio, all the switches are turned on and off simultaneously, and the whole circuit has a single power transformer. It does not require an additional controller but still achieves efficient input voltage sharing (IVS) for each series module through its inherent transformer-integration strategy. The IVS process of this power supply scheme is analyzed in detail and the design considerations for the related parameters are given. Finally, a 100W multiple-output auxiliary power supply prototype is built, and the experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme and the validity of the theoretical analysis.

This paper demonstrates improved throughput and energy efficiency of wireless communications by exploiting nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), multiple input-multiple output (MIMO), and radio frequency energy harvesting (EH) technologies. To assess the performance of NOMA MIMO communications with EH (MMe), we consider the nonlinear characteristics of EH devices and propose explicit expressions for throughput and outage probability. Based on our results, the system performance is significantly mitigated by EH nonlinearity and is considerably improved by increasing the number of antennas. Additionally, by appropriately adjusting the system parameters, our NOMA MMe innovation can avert complete outages while optimizing system performance. Moreover, the results demonstrate the superiority of the NOMA MMe over its orthogonal multiple access MMe counterparts.

본 논문에서는 다중입력-다중출력(multiple-input, multiple-output: MIMO) 간섭계(interferometric) 레이다 네트워크 시스템을 기반한 MIMO 간섭계 역합성 개구면 레이다(inverse synthetic aparture radar: InISAR) 영상 형성기법에 관해 연구하였다. MIMO 간섭계 레이다 네트워크 시스템 내에서는 여러 바이스태틱 InISAR 영상들이 형성되며, 이들을 인코히리언트(incoherent)하게 합성함으로써 MIMO InISAR 영상을 형성할 수 있다. 여기서, 바이스태틱 InISAR 영상은 바이스태틱 기하구조 내에서의 표적에 대한 산란분포를 3차원의 형태로 도시한다. 상기 MIMO InISAR 영상에서는 다중 각도에서의 바이스태틱 산란 현상을 3차원의 형태로 도시하기 때문에, 표적의 다양한 산란 정보를 제공함과 더불어, 표적 식별 시 유용한 특징 벡터(feature vector)로써 활용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, 제안된 MIMO InISAR 영상 형성 기법을 이용함으로써 표적에 대한 다중각도에서의 바이스태틱 산란분포가 3차원의 형태로 도시되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 무선 통신에서의 높은 전송률과 신뢰도 있는 무선 통신 방안 중 터보 부호를 이용한 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 통신 기법과 FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) 기법을 접목시켜 전송률을 향상시키며 신뢰성을 높일 수 있는 복호 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 계층적 시공간 부호화 기반의 MIMO-FTN(Multiple Input Multiple Output-Faster Than Nyquist) 기법은 FTN으로 인한 인접 심볼 간섭을 제거하기 위한 시공간 부호화 방식의 적용으로 전송률의 손해를 초래한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 ZF(Zero Forcing) 기법을 이용한 MIMO-FTN 기법에서 ZF 기법의 단점을 보완한 W-ZF(Weighted-Zero Forcing)을 이용한 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는, 시뮬레이션을 통해 계층적 시공간 부호화 기반의 MIMO-FTN 기법과, W-ZF을 적용한 MIMO-FTN 기법, SISO-FTN 기법에서 FTN의 간섭량에 따른 성능과 전송률을 비교 하였다. 그 결과 W-ZF 기법을 적용한 MIMO-FTN 기법이 다른 두 기법보다 전송률에서 2배 더 좋은 것을 확인할 수 있다.
