  • Performance indicators such as output SNR, SIR, SINR for rectangular smart antennas in CDMA basestations have been derived. Simulations have been carried out to find the rectangular smart antenna performance while varying the input SNR, number of antenna elements, and the interferers' spatial distributions. Simplified Conjugate Gradient Method was chosen as the underlying beam forming algorithm. It has been shown that the performance of a rectangular smart antenna is similar to that of the linear one having the same number of elements when the interferers are randomly distributed over the whole azimuth angle range.

  • A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for 3-D near-field source localization using a uniform circular away (UCA). Algebraic relations are demonstrated between the incident angles (elevation angle and azimuth angle) under the far-field assumption and the actual near-field location (range. elevation angle, and azimuth angle). Using these relations as paths to follow to the peak of the 3-D MUSIC spectrum, the proposed algorithm replaces the 3-D search required in the conventional 3-D MUSIC with a 1-D path following after a 2-D initialization. thereby reducing the computational burden.

  • In this paper, it is represented that equations for design of linear interferometer antenna when the 3 dB beamwidth is only region of interest. Using the equations, relationships between angle measurement ambiguity and element antenna spacings are described. And then, operating frequency, angle measurement accuracy, beamwidth, correct measurement probability are calculated for five antennas interferometer to measure azimuth and elevation angle. The interferometer antenna was designed and fabricated using the calculated parameters. The angle measurement accuracy were $0.01^{\circ}$ and $0.016^{\circ}$ for azimuth and elevation axes with 99 % probability of doing measurements correctly which means that ambiguous solution did not occur more than 1 % of the time. These results validated the equations and design procedures.

  • The effective reflection coefficients of an obliquely incident wave on a multi-layered substrate coated with a uniaxially anisotropic alignment layer are derived. The effective reflection coefficients as well as explicit ellipsometric expressions are provided as a function of film constants of multiple layers together with magnitude of anisotropy, direction of optic axis, and thickness of the alignment layer. It is expected that by adapting these expressions to the conventional modelling technique, the ordinary refractive index, the extra-ordinary refractive index, the azimuth angle and the tilt angle of the optic axis, and the thickness of the aligned surface can be determined simultaneously together with the thickness and volume fraction of each layer beneath the alignment layer.

  • Performances of LCDs are generally evaluated in terms of luminance and color versus viewing angle. In the present paper we show that this type of display can be favorably characterized in terms of polarization. We show that ELDIM EZContrast instrument can be used to measure the degree of polarization the light and the ellipticity and polarization direction of the polarized component. This measurement is made versus incidence angle between 0 and $88{\circ}$ and for all the azimuth angles. Important differences between the displays can be detected and related to their internal structures when luminance and color profiles are quite similar.

  • Based on Faraday effect, the variation of current flowing through the conductor can be encoded as that of azimuth angle of light polarization propagating through the fiber coil wound onto the conductor. The amount of current can be obtained by measuring the variation of the light intensity transformed from that of the azimuth angle through a polarization analyzer. In this paper we propose a fiber-optic current sensor system that employs a fiber polarization analyzer as a sensor interrogation device. The fiber polarization analyzer was prepared by inscribing a long-period fiber grating on a high birefringent fiber. At the fixed wavelength of 1522.5 nm, the fabricated fiber device has the polarization extinction ratio of more than 25 dB. The measurement of large current up to 600 Arms was accomplished based on a simple fiber interrogation device and the measurement output of the sensor system showed a good linearity.

  • We derive the phase error of hologram due to imperfection of a wave plate, the azimuth angle error of a wave plate, and the azimuth angle error of a linear polarizer. Also, we analyze the effect of phase error by the modified triangular interferometer in case of 3-D image reconstruction of hologram.

  • In this paper, we introduce the direction of arrival(DOA) estimation of distributed signal based on the improved ESPRIT algorithm. Most research on the estimation of DOA has been performed based on the assumption that the signal sources are point sources. However, we consider a two-dimensional distributed signal source model using improved ESPRIT algorithm. In the distributed signal source model, a source is represented by two parameters, the azimuth angle and elevation angle. We address the estimation of the elevation and azimuth angles of distributed sources based on the parametric source modeling in the three-dimensional space with two uniform linear arrays. The array output vector is obtained by integrating a steering vector over all direction of arrival with the weighting of a distributed source density function. We also develop an efficient estimation procedures that can reduce the computational complexity. Some examples are shown to demonstrate explicity the estimation procedures under the distributed signal source model.

  • Helicopter dynamics are plenty of nonlinearity. A complete mathematical model including propeller dynamics and fortes generated by the propellers is very difficult to obtain. So the method used to design to design a controller is a parameter estimation. Design controller based on variable structure system. This paper deals with LQR control technique to control efficiently, its elevation angle and azimuth one. The purpose of the experiment is to design a controller allows to use a desired elevation angle and azimuth ones. The system model has a helicopter model with 2-degree-of freedom. The simulation results were verified usefulness of controller.
