In this paper, we propose two schemes to reduce the complexity of fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm in the ordering and tree-search stages, respectively, while achieving quasi-ML performance. In the ordering stage, we propose a QR-decomposition-based FSD signal ordering based on the zero-forcing criterion (FSD-ZF-SQRD) that requires only a few number of additional complex flops compared to the unsorted QRD. Also, the proposed ordering algorithm is extended using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to achieve better performance. In the tree-search stage, we introduce a threshold-based complexity reduction approach for the FSD depending on the reliability of the signal with the largest noise amplification. Numerical results show that in 8 ${\times}$ 8 MIMO system, the proposed FSD-ZF-SQRD and FSD-MMSE-SQRD only require 19.5% and 26.3% of the computational efforts required by Hassibi's scheme, respectively. Moreover, a third threshold vector is outlined which can be used for high order modulation schemes. In 4 ${\times}$ 4 MIMO system using 16-QAM and 64-QAM, simulation results show that when the proposed threshold-based approach is employed, FSD requires only 62.86% and 53.67% of its full complexity, respectively.

This paper aims to evaluate the behavior of Dorim-Goh bridge in Seoul, Korea, under static and dynamic loads effects by ambient trucks. The prestressed concrete (PSC) girders and reinforcement concrete (RC) slab of the bridge are evaluated and assessed. A short period monitoring system is designed which comprises displacement, strain and accelerometer sensors to measure the bridge performance under static and dynamic trucks loads. The statistical analysis is used to assess the static behavior of the bridge and the wavelet analysis and probabilistic using Weibull distribution are used to evaluate the frequency and reliability of the dynamic behavior of the bridge. The results show that the bridge is safe under static and dynamic loading cases. In the static evaluation, the measured neutral axis position of the girders is deviated within 5% from its theoretical position. The dynamic amplification factor of the bridge girder and slab are lower than the design value of that factor. The Weibull shape parameters are decreased, it which means that the bridge performance decreases under dynamic loads effect. The bridge girder and slab's frequencies are higher than the design values and constant under different truck speeds.

In steel cable bridges, the use of magnetorheological (MR) dampers between butt cables is constantly increasing to dampen vibrations caused by rain and wind. The biggest problem in the actual applications of those devices is to launch a kind of appropriate algorithm that can effectively and efficiently suppress the perturbation of the tie through basic calculations and optimal solutions. This article discusses the optimal evolutionary design based on a linear and quadratic regulator (hereafter LQR) to lessen the perturbation of the bridges with cables. The control numerical algorithms are expected to effectively and efficiently decrease the possible risks of the structural response in amplification owing to the feedback force in the direction of the MR attenuator. In addition, these numerical algorithms approximate those optimal linear quadratic regulator control forces through the corresponding damping and stiffness, which significantly lessens the work of calculating the significant and optimal control forces. Therefore, it has been shown that it plays an important and significant role in the practical application design of semiactive MR control power systems. In the present proposed novel evolutionary parallel distributed compensator scheme, the vibrational control problem with a simulated demonstration is used to evaluate the numerical algorithmic performance and effectiveness. The results show that these semiactive MR control numerical algorithms which are present proposed in the present paper has better performance than the optimal and the passive control, which is almost reaching the levels of linear quadratic regulator controls with minimal feedback requirements.

In mobile communication, the most exploratory technology of fifth generation is massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO). The minimum mean square error and zero forcing based linear detectors are used in multiuser detection for MIMO single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SCFDMA). When the received signal is detected and regularization sequence is joined in the equalization of spectral null amplification, these schemes experience an error performance and the signal detection assesses an inversion of a matrix computation that grows into complexity. Ordered successive interference cancelation (OSIC) detection is considered for MIMO SC-FDMA, which uses a posteriori information to eradicate these problems in a realistic environment. To cancel the interference, sorting is preferred based on signal-to-noise ratio and log-likelihood ratio. The distinctiveness of the methodology is to predict the symbol with the lowest error probability. The proposed work is compared with the existing methods, and simulation results prove that the defined algorithm outperforms conventional detection methods and accomplishes better performance with lower complication.

DRAM의 성능 개선을 위해 센스앰프의 미스매치로 인한 센싱페일을 감소시켜야 한다. 플립페일과 달리 딜레이페일은 고속 동작이 요구될 때 더 심화될 수 있어 차세대 메모리 설계 시 면밀히 고려되어야 할 문제이다. Conventional SA는 증폭 시작 시 모든 트랜지스터가 동시에 동작하는 반면, SDSA는 BLB를 출력으로 하는 트랜지스터 2개만 먼저 동작시켜 오프셋을 완화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SDSA의 딜레이페일에 대한 우수성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다. Conventional SA에 비해 약 90%의 딜레이 페일 감소 효과를 갖고 있음을 확인했다.

The conventional normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm is the most widely used for adaptive identification within a non-stationary input context. The convergence of the NLMS algorithm is independent of environmental changes. However, its steady state performance is impaired during input sequences with low dynamics. In this paper, we propose a new NLMS algorithm which is, in the steady state, insensitive to the time variations of the input dynamics. The square soot (SR)-NLMS algorithm is based on a normalization of the LMS adaptive filter input by the Euclidean norm of the tap-input. The tap-input power of the SR-NLMS adaptive filter is then equal to one even during sequences with low dynamics. Therefore, the amplification of the observation noise power by the tap-input power is cancelled in the misadjustment time evolution. The harmful effect of the low dynamics input sequences, on the steady state performance of the LMS adaptive filter are then reduced. In addition, the square root normalized input is more stationary than the base input. Therefore, the robustness of LMS adaptive filter with respect to the input non stationarity is enhanced. A performance analysis of the first- and the second-order statistic behavior of the proposed SR-NLMS adaptive filter is carried out. In particular, an analytical expression of the step size ensuring stability and mean convergence is derived. In addition, the results of an experimental study demonstrating the good performance of the SR-NLMS algorithm are given. A comparison of these results with those obtained from a standard NLMS algorithm, is performed. It is shown that, within a non-stationary input context, the SR-NLMS algorithm exhibits better performance than the NLMS algorithm.

광음향 현미경은 높은 공간 해상도와 높은 대조도를 갖는 영상을 제공할 수 있어 생명과학 연구와 의료응용에 있어 유용하다. 광음향 현미경은 레이저 펄스 송신 후 생체조직에서 발생하는 광음향 신호를 수신하여 영상을 구성한다. 일반적으로 광음향 신호의 크기는 작기 때문에, 고품질의 광음향 현미경 영상을 얻기 위해서는 고성능의 광학 및 음향 모듈과 더불어 신호 수신용 고성능 시스템이 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 광음향 현미경 시스템은 광음향 신호의 수신, 증폭, 품질향상, 디지털화를 위해 여러 상용 장비의 조합으로 구성된다. 이러한 이유로 광음향 현미경은 부피가 클 수밖에 없으며, 최적의 성능을 제공하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 향상된 신호 대 잡음비와 대조도를 제공할 수 있는 광음향 수신 시스템의 구조를 제안하고 성능 평가 결과를 제시한다. 개발한 저잡음 광대역 광음향 신호 수신 시스템은 두개의 저잡음 증폭기, 두 개의 가변 이득 증폭기, 아날로그 필터, 아날로그 디지털 변환기, 그리고 디지털 제어 로직으로 구성되어 있다. 개발된 시스템의 영상 성능은 생체 모사 혈관 팬텀, 와이어 타겟 팬텀 영상 실험을 통하여 상용 신호수신 시스템의 성능과 비교하여 평가하였다. 영상 비교 실험을 통해 개발한 광음향 현미경 시스템이 상용 장비 보다 신호 대 잡음비는 6.7 dB 이상 높았고, 영상의 대조도는 3 dB 이상 높다는 것을 확인하였다.
