This paper covers nulling algorithm. In this algorithm, we assume that nulling points are already known. In general, nulling algorithm using matrix equation was utilized. But, this algorithm is pointed out that computational complexity is disadvantage. So, we choose gradient method to reduce the computational complexity. In order to further reduce the computational complexity, we propose approximate gradient method using characteristic of trigonometric functions. The proposed method has same performance compared with conventional method while having half the amount of computation when the number of antenna and nulling point are 20 and 1, respectively. In addition, we could virtually eliminate the trigonometric functions arithmetic. Trigonometric functions arithmetic cause a big problem in actual implementation like FPGA processor(Field Programmable gate array). By utilizing the above algorithm in a multi-cell environment, beamforming gain can be obtained and interference can be reduced at same time. By the above results, the algorithm can show excellent performance in the cell boundary.

Since a non-nulling method of five-hole probes is valid only when the flow angle is within the calibrated angle range, it can not be used in a complex flow field. Full angle range pressure coefficient maps show that widely used nulling methods do not guarantee correct alignment of the probe with the flow direction in the unknown complex flow field. Zone decision method and features of zone map were studied by investigating the full angle range pressure coefficient maps. A reliable and efficient new nulling algorithm using zone decision by pressure ordering is proposed and verified. Since the zone decision method by pressure ordering can decide whether the flow is within the calibration angle range or not, it is useful in wide angle nonnulling methods, too.

The effects of Reynolds number on the non-nulling calibration of a cone-type five-hole probe in low-speed flows have been investigated at the Reynolds numbers of $2.04{\times}10^3,\;4.09{\times}10^3$, and $6.13{\times}10^3$. The calibration is conducted at the pitch and yaw angles in ranges between -35 degrees and 35 degrees with an angle interval of 5 degrees. The result shows that each calibration coefficient, in general, is a function of the pitch and yaw angles, so that the pre-existing calibration data in a nulling mode are not enough in accounting for the full non-nulling calibration characteristics. Due to the interference of the probe stem, the calibration coefficients have more Reynolds number sensitivity at positive pitch angles than at negative ones.

In this paper, we propose an simplified successive minimum mean square error ($S^{2}MMSE$) algorithm that can simplify the computational complexity for precoding matrix generation in the successive minimum mean square error (SMMSE) precoding method, which is adopted as a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) precoding technique in the IST (information society technologies)-WINNER (wireless world initiative new radio) project. The original algorithm generates the precoding matrix by calculating all individual precoding vectors with each requiring its own MMSE nulling matrix, over all receive antennas for all users. In contrast, this proposed algorithm first calculates the MMSE nulling matrix for each user, and then calculates all precoding vectors for respective receive antennas of the corresponding user by using the identical MMSE nulling matrix, in which only a simple matrix-vector multiplication is required for each vector. Consequently, it can simplify significantly the computational complexity to generate a precoding matrix for SMMSE precoding.

This paper concerns an efficient iterative approach for eliminating coherent interference signals in linearly constrained adaptive arrays. The Alternate Mainbeam Nulling Algorithm[1] is implemented iteratively to find an optimum weight vector. The convergence parameters in the unit gain and null constraints are calculated using steepest descent method with gradient estimation. The nulling performance of the proposed method is compared with that of conventional ones. It is shown that the proposed method performs better than conventional ones when the power of the coherent signals is large compared with a desired signal. Also, it performs consistently well for more number of interferences.

In this paper we propose an opposite-sign phase method to implement a nulling antenna using genetic algorithm. In the opposite-sign phase method the phase value of each antenna element in the linear phased array antenna is symmetrical to the center of the array and the sign of the phases of the neighboring elements is alternating. Compared to the conventional genetic algorithm our genetic algorithm shows the capability of synthesizing nulls faster and sharper.

This paper concerns with signal cancellation problem in a linearly constrained adaptive array processor in coherent environment. Alternate mainbeam nulling approach was proposed to prevent the signal cancellation phenomenon. The linearly constrained LMS algorithm with a unit gain constraint and that with a null constraint in the direction of the desired signal is alternately implemented to reduce the signal interaction between the desired signal and the interferences, which is the main cause of the signal cancellation. It is shown that the proposed method performs better than a conventional method.

The effects of Reynolds number on the non-nulling calibrations of a cone-type ave-type probe in low-speed flows have been investigated at Reynolds numbers of 2.04$\times$10$^3$, 4.09$\times$10$^3$and 6.13$\times$10$^3$. The calibration is conducted at the pitch and yaw angles in ranges between -35 degrees and 35 degrees with an angle interval of 5 degrees. In addition to the calibration coefficients, reduced pitch and yaw angles, static and total pressures, and velocity magnitude are obtained through a typical non-nulling reduction procedure. The result shows that each calibration coefficient, in general, is a function of both the pitch and yaw angles, so that the pre-existing calibration data in a nulling mode are not enough in accounting far the full non-nulling calibration characteristics. Due to interference of the probe stem, the calibration coefficient are more sensitive to Reynolds number at positive pitch angles than at negative ones. The calibration data reduced in this study may serve as a guide line in the estimation of uncertainty intervals resulted from the Reynolds number effects at low Reynolds numbers.

In this paper, we analyze the main-carrier cancellation characteristics of the nulling loop control circuit which is used for the main-carrier cancellation circuit of the feedforward linear power amplifier. A new nulling loop error control method is proposed to improve the linear power amplifier characteristics. With this analysis, the main carrier cancellation ratio can be estimated and the required specifications of the main and auxiliary amplifiers can be optimized for the economic and power efficiency.
