Separation Distance Reduction In Mimo Systems Using End-Fire Antenna Arrays, Amean Al_Safi Dec 2010

Separation Distance Reduction In Mimo Systems Using End-Fire Antenna Arrays, Amean Al_Safi

Amean S Al_Safi

The main problem in Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) systems is the separation distance between antennas which must be greater than or equal to half wavelength. Satisfying this separation is difficult or impossible especially at mobile communication, therefore this paper study the capability to reduce these separation distance by using End-Fire antenna arrays. Each antenna at the transmitter and receiver side is replaced by a set of antennas work as an array with a radiation pattern directed toward the axes of the arrays. The separation between elements in these arrays is fixed at quarter wavelength in order to have one main …

Fpga Implementation Of Pipeline Digit-Slicing Multiplier-Less Radix 2 2 Dif Sdf Butterfly For Fast Fourier Transform Structure, Yazan Samir, Rozita Teymourzadeh, Masuri Othman, Shabiul Islam Dec 2010

Fpga Implementation Of Pipeline Digit-Slicing Multiplier-Less Radix 2 2 Dif Sdf Butterfly For Fast Fourier Transform Structure, Yazan Samir, Rozita Teymourzadeh, Masuri Othman, Shabiul Islam

Dr. Rozita Teymourzadeh, CEng.

The need for wireless communication has driven the communication systems to high performance. However, the main bottleneck that affects the communication capability is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), which is the core of most modulators. This paper presents FPGA implementation of pipeline digit-slicing multiplier-less radix 22 DIF (Decimation In Frequency) SDF (single path delay feedback) butterfly for FFT structure. The approach taken; in order to reduce computation complexity in butterfly multiplier, digit-slicing multiplier-less technique was utilized in the critical path of pipeline Radix-22 DIF SDF FFT structure. The proposed design focused on the trade-off between the speed and active silicon …

Optimised Toolbox For The Design Of Rotary Reluctance Motors, Grace I, Rozita Teymourzadeh, Bright S, Aravind Cv Dec 2010

Optimised Toolbox For The Design Of Rotary Reluctance Motors, Grace I, Rozita Teymourzadeh, Bright S, Aravind Cv

Dr. Rozita Teymourzadeh, CEng.

Operation of the rotary reluctance machine is highly affected due to the sequential attraction-repulsion principle of the adjacent phase excitation. The problem has been identified and addressed by various researchers in the past decades. Effective magnetic design is one way of minimizing the effect. However it is tedious and time consuming as the design procedure involve higher analytical derivation and calculations. This paper presents a simpler graphical user interface toolbox to use for the design of reluctance motors. The developed interface calculates the analytical values of the aligned, unaligned and intermediate inductance values so that the user can interpret the …
