The BER performance of a MIMO detection scheme on frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels is analytically discussed. The presented MIMO detection scheme consists of temporal and spatial combiners followed by a ZF detector. It is shown that for a MIMO system with $N_T$ transmit antennas, $N_R$ receive antennas, and L resolvable multipath components, it achieves the diversity order of $LN_R-N_T+1$. In frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels, an analytical error rate expression of the systems is also provided and the analytical error performance is compared with the simulated results.

This paper proposes a novel detection scheme using a radial basis function (RBF) network in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) environment. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed MIMO-RBF receiver, simulations are performed over the rich-scattering fading channel. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme shows the similar bit-error rate (BER) performance of a maximum likelihood detection (MLD) and outperforms Vertical-Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time using minimum-mean-square-error nulling (VBLAST-MMSE) as well as VBLAST using zero-forcing nulling (VBLAST-ZF). Moreover, we investigate the effect on the performance of the number of RBF center with two modulation formats (BPSK and QPSK) and different number of transmit and receive antennas. The performance of the proposed detector is verified with respect to an initialization-rate of RBF centers.

Chromium-doped zinc ferrite nanoparticles with the general formula Cr_yZnFe_2-yO₄ (y = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1) were synthesized by a surfactant-assisted chemical co-precipitation route using metal nitrate salt precursors. The phase purity and structural parameters were determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The concentration of Cr³⁺ doped into ZnFe₂O₄ (ZF) noticeably affected the crystallite size, which was in the range of 22 nm to 36 nm, and all samples showed a single cubic spinel structure without any secondary phase or impurities. The lattice parameter, X-ray density, and skeletal density increased with an increase in the Cr-doping concentration; on the other hand, a decreasing trend was observed for the particle size and porosity. The influence of Cr³⁺ substitution on ZF magnetic properties were studied under an applied field of 15 kOe. The overall results revealed that the incorporation of a small amount of Cr dopant changed the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of ZF.

This paper presents the spatial multiplexing MIMO system to increase data rate to double in MB-OFDM UWB system, which is ECMA standards, and compares BER performance of various receiver structures. The complexity and BER performance of various types of spatial multiplexing receivers are compared and analyzed using diagonal and horizontal encoding techniques for $2{\times}2$\;and\;2{\times}3$ antennas systems. Computer simulations exhibit that $2{\times}2$ MML and $2{\times}3$ ZF method show better BER performance than that of SISO system with simple complexity.

In this paper, we study a power allocation technique for Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) in multi-user multiple input single output (MISO) downlink systems. In contrast to previous approaches, a mutual information based method is exploited for maximizing the sum rate of zero-forcing THP systems. Then, we propose a simple power allocation algorithm which assigns proper power level for modulo operated users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms a conventional water-filling method, and it provides similar performance with near optimal method with much reduced complexity.

To solve the logistical problems of the sperm penetration assay (SPA) to provide just a sufficient number of hamster ova exactly when they are needed, a new method to cryopreserve the ova has been devised (1-step dehydration and 2-step thawing). After freezing & thawing of zona-intact (ZI) and zona-free (ZF) hamster ova according to this new method, the frozen-thawed ova were compared with fresh, control ova (FO) in terms of the degree of sperm penetration in SPA using semen samples from fertile donors, subfertile, and infertile male. Each sperm sample was capacitated for 42 hours inTEST-Yolk Buffer before insemination in SPA. In fertile doner, both the penetration rate and penetration index were lower in SPA using frozen ova (ZI; 92.4%, 6.2, ZF; 63.7%, 3.9) than those of SPA using fresh ova (99.3%, 8.4). There was a significant correlation between the penetration index of SPA using FO and ZI (p<0.001), and between those of SPA using FO and ZF and ova (p<0.001). In subfertile patient, both the penetration rate and penetration index were lowered in frozen ova (ZI; 62.3%, 1.3, ZF; 21.8%, 0.4) than those of fresh ova (74.8%, 1.8). There were significant correlation between the penetration rate and penetration index in ZI ova (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively). In infertile patient, both the penetration rate and penetration index were ZI; 3.1%, 0.0, ZF;0.0%, 0.0, respectively. There were significant correlation between the penetration rate and penetration index in ZI ova (p<0.05).

We investigate BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities in uplink SC-FDMA of SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output) systems. The main results of the analysis in this paper are as follows. First, we prove that performance of integrated system for considering spatial and frequency diversity combining in parallel is equivalent with the performance of sequential system for performing diversity combining in sequence. By signal modeling, it is demonstrated that the performances of both systems are the same when the frequency diversity combining technique of the sequential system is equal to diversity combining technique of the integrated system, and spatial diversity combining technique of the sequential system is performed as MRC in advance of frequency diversity combining. Secondly, it is found that effect on the BER performance is different according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities, respectively. The frequency diversity gain increases by increasing the number of subcarrier. It might affect the performance improvement of high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) while it maintains gap between performances of ZF(Zero Forcing) and MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) in frequency diversity combining schemes. Also, spatial diversity gain increases as the number of receiving antennas increases. It means that it can reduce performance gap between ZF and MMSE in frequency diversity combining schemes by increasing the number of receiving antennas. In addition, it might affect the performance improvement of the whole SNR. Finally, through the analysis of performance according to the spatial diversity gain, the performance of ZF in frequency diversity combining is equal to the MMSE if the number of receiving antennas is 6 or more.

In this paper, binary pulse-position modulation (2PPM) time-hoping (TH) ultra-wideband (UWB) system is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using vertical bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) structure to achieve high-data-rate communications. This UWB-MIMO system and its receivers are analyzed, and its BER performances are evaluated. In the receiver, various MIMO detection algorithms such as zero-forcing (ZF), ZF-ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), MMSE-OSIC and maximum likelihood (ML) are comparatively studied.
