This paper proposes an adaptive mode switching algorithm between two strategies in multiple antenna cellular networks:A single-user mode and a multi-user mode for the broadcast channel. If full channel state information is available at the base station, it is known that a multi user transmission strategy would outperform all single-user transmission strategies. In the absence of full side information, it is unclear what the capacity achieving method is, and thus there are few criteria to decide which of the myriad possible methods performs best given a system configuration. We compare a single user transmission and a multi user transmission with linear receivers in this paper where the transmitter and the receivers have multiple antennas, and find that neither strategy dom inates the other. There is instead a transition point between the two strategies. Then, the mode switching point is determined both ana lytically and numerically for a multiple antenna cellular downlink with correlation between transmit antennas.

본 논문에서는 H-ARQ를 위한 NACK 신호를 이용한 안테나 스위칭 방식을 제안하고 V-BLAST 시스템에서 분석하였다. 여기서 전송 안테나는 재전송시 번갈아 스위칭 되어 동작한다. 상관된 페이딩 채널에서 제안된 방식의 채널 용량을 해석적으로 분석함으로써, 채널 상관성의 악영향이 안테나 스위칭 방식으로 줄어듦을 보인다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 상관된 페이딩 채널에서 평균 수율은 큰 복잡도의 증가 없이 개선되어질 수 있음을 보인다.

In order to obtain better target identification performance, an efficient waveform design method with high range resolution and low sidelobe level for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is proposed in this paper. First, the wideband CP-based OFDM signal is transmitted on each antenna to guarantee large bandwidth and high range resolution. Next, a complex orthogonal design (COD) is utilized to achieve code domain orthogonality among antennas, so that the spatial diversity can be obtained in MIMO radar, and only the range sidelobe on the first antenna needs suppressing. Furthermore, sidelobe suppression is expressed as an optimization problem. The integrated sidelobe level (ISL) is adopted to construct the objective function, which is solved using the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm. The numerical results demonstrate the superiority in performance (high resolution, strict orthogonality, and low sidelobe level) of the proposed method compared to existing algorithms.

The purpose of satellite navigation meaconing jamming is to make the target GPS receiver calculate false navigation by meaconing the received satellite signals. At this time, since the received and transmitted signals have the same frequency, the back-lobe reduction level of antenna should be -160 dB when the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is 1 Watt (30 dBm). Therefore, meaconing jamming is impossible by merely reducing the back-lobe level of antenna when the transmitter and receiver are in proximity to each other. In general, the transmitter and receiver are isolated by the time division method to eliminate such transmission/reception interference. This paper studied the optimal switching timing between transmitting and receiving when isolating the time division transmission and reception for GPS meaconing jamming.

본 논문에서는 잉크젯 프린팅 기술을 이용한 새로운 종이 기반의 방사패턴 가변 안테나를 제안한다. 제안된 안테나는 2개의 bow-tie 안테나와 스위칭 네트워크로 구성되어 있다. 2개의 bow-tie 안테나는 종이의 앞면과 뒷면에 일반 가정용 잉크젯 프린터로 인쇄되었고, 스위칭 네트워크는 PCB 기판에 SPDT와 발룬으로 제작하였다. 복잡한 신호 인가와 발룬 소자의 사용 대신 두 개의 마이크로스트립 선로를 평행하게 위치시킴으로 불 평형 신호를 평형 신호로 바꿔주는 발룬의 역할을 대신하였다. 2개의 bow-tie 안테나에 다른 방향으로 반사체를 추가함으로써 각각의 방사패턴을 서로 다르게 하였다. 제안된 가변형 안테나는 EM 시뮬레이션과 측정 결과를 통해 성공적으로 방사패턴이 가변됨을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문은 RFID기술기반의 새로운 저비용 고정밀 열차위치검지기술을 위하여 빔폭 가변형 $4{\times}1$ 리더안테나 시스템의 설계를 제안하였다. 또한, 열차 구간별 속도 변화에 따라 제안된 리더안테나의 요구되는 빔폭 계산을 수행하였다. 열차속도에 의한 제안된 안테나 시스템은 사각패치형태의 방사소자들을 스위칭 커플러를 이용하여 임피던스 변환없이 두개의 모드로 동작하도록 설계되었다. 스위칭 커플러는 사각 quadrature coupler의 중심선에 Pin Diode를 그라운드와 연결하여 다이오드의 ON/OFF 설정으로 빔폭 가변을 스위칭 하도록 하였다. 설계된 안테나는 다이오드 OFF에 $18^{\circ}$와 다이오드 ON에 $39^{\circ}$의 빔폭을 확인 하였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 리더안테나 시스템은 향후 실제 차량 시험을 통하여 철도환경에서 보다 정밀한 열차위치검지기술 확보를 위하여 유용하게 사용될 예정이다.

A switchable Yagi-Uda antenna prototype with radiation pattern reconfiguration is presented in this letter. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is based on the concept of switching between the reflector and director of a Yagi-Uda antenna using a radio frequency PIN diode. As a result, the minimum/maximum radiation can be steered towards desired signals or away from interfering signals in opposite directions. The measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth and gain are 210 MHz (7%) and 8.02 dBi at 3 GHz, respectively. Details of the antenna design and its performance are described and empirically analyzed.

A new method for the GPS repeater based indoor positioning is proposed and its feasibility is verified by experiments in previous paper. But the problems how can identify switching GPS repeater's ID and when switching will be occurred are remained. To solve the problem faced with, we propose the time synchronized switching GPS repeater and the methods of the detection of switching time and the estimation of TDOA. First, switching GPS repeater retransmits the signals synchronized on GPS time, sequentially. Always, first switching time is synchronized with 1 PPS. Second, we formulate the detection of switching time and the estimation of TDOA and propose the various methods. No method is existed absolutely superior to others in any conditions but the method is existed superior to others in specific condition. Finally, feasibility of indoor positioning using time-synchronized switching GPS repeater is evaluated through experiments in anechoic chamber and general environment with multipath.

This paper will read about a multichannel frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor with switching transmit (TX) antennas is developed at W-band. To achieve a high angular resolution, a uniform linear array consisting of 5 switching-TX and 12 receive (RX) antennas is employed with the digital beamforming technique. The overall radar front-end module comprises a W-band transceiver and TX/RX antennas. A multichannel transceiver module consists of 5 up-conversion and 12 down-conversion channels, where one of the TX channels is sequentially switched ON. For developing transmitter, we developed an HPA (high power amplified) MMIC chip for W-band radar system and fabricated a transmitter module using this chip. In order to develop the W-band transmitter, we analyzed the important antenna transition structure from HPA MMIC line to W/G (Waveguide)antenna via M/S(microstrip) and fabricated it with 5 transmission channels. As a result, the output power of the transmitter was within 1 dB of the error range after analysis and measurement under normal temperature and environmental conditions.

This letter presents a reconfigurable ground-slotted patch antenna using a PIN diode connection in slots to achieve dual-frequency operation. Slots in the ground plane increase the electrical length and thereby reduce antenna size by 53%. By controlling PIN diode conduction, we achieved band hopping while still satisfying the bandwidth requirements for K-PCS and WiBro bands.
