Iterative Frequency Domain Equalization for Single-Carrier Wideband MIMO Channels

2009-09-16
Single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) is receiving considerable attention recently due to its comparable complexity and performance with OFDM. In this paper, an iterative SC-FDE with decision feedback in frequency domain is proposed for wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels and more general multipath vector channels as a generalization of previous works considering FDE with decision feedback for single-input single-output (SISO) systems. The proposed detector is based on iterative forward and backward filtering followed by a MIMO multi-stream detector that uses a priori log-likelihood ratios (LLR) of coded symbols. Forward and feedback filters are jointly optimized according to the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to minimize both self inter-symbol-interference (ISI) and interference from other streams transmitted at different antennas. It has been observed that the proposed structure exploits the multi-path diversity sources of the channel effectively and a performance very close to MIMO-OFDM outage probability can be achieved. Therefore, our proposed iterative SC-FDE technique for MIMO wideband channels can be viewed as a strong alternative to MIMO-OFDM schemes with similar complexity.

A Novel Broadband Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm With Incomplete-Leaf Tree Structures for Multiscale Electromagnetic Problems
Takrimi, Manouchehr; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Erturk, Vakur B. (2016-06-01)
An efficient and versatile broadband multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), which is capable of handling large multiscale electromagnetic problems with a wide dynamic range of mesh sizes, is presented. By invoking a novel concept of incomplete-leaf tree structures, where only the overcrowded boxes are divided into smaller ones for a given population threshold, versatility of using variable-sized boxes is achieved. Consequently, for geometries containing highly overmeshed local regions, the proposed me...
Optimal number of routing paths in multi-path routing to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks
İncebacak, Davut; Tavlı, Bulent; Bıcakçı, Kemal; Altın-Kayhan, Ayşegül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-30)
In wireless sensor networks, multi-path routing is proposed for energy balancing which prolongs the network lifetime as compared to single-path routing where utilization of a single route between a source node and the base station results in imbalanced energy dissipation. While it is evident that increasing the number of routing paths mitigates the problem of energy over-utilization in a subset of nodes acting as relays, the net effect of the proliferation of multiple routing paths on energy balancing remai...
Numerical analysis, design and two port equivalent circuit models for split ring resonator arrays
Yaşar Örten, Pınar; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Split ring resonator (SRR) is a metamaterial structure which displays negative permeability values over a relatively small bandwidth around its magnetic resonance frequency. Unit SRR cells and arrays have been used in various novel applications including the design of miniaturized microwave devices and antennas. When the SRR arrays are combined with the arrays of conducting wires, left handed materials can be constructed with the unusual property of having negative valued effective refractive indices. In th...
Routing algorithms for on chip networks
Atagoziyev, Maksat; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Network-on-Chip (NoC) is communication infrastructure for future multi-core Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). NoCs are expected to overcome scalability and performance limitations of Point-to-Point (P2P) and bus-based communication systems. The routing algorithm of a given NoC affects the performance of the system measured with respect to metrics such as latency, throughput and load distribution. In this thesis, the popular Orthogonal One Turn (O1TURN) and Dimension Order Routing algorithms (DOR) for 2D-meshes are im...
Waveguide-based Monopulse Wideband Travelling-Wave Array
GULTEPE, Gokhan; DOGAN, Doganay; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2017-07-14)
A novel, travelling-wave, waveguide antenna structure with monopulse capability in the two principal planes is proposed with increased frequency bandwidth. The array consists of two interleaved waveguide arrays which provide appropriate excitations to the antenna elements above the waveguide to generate proper sum and difference patterns. With the use of printed antennas and the elimination of the narrow frequency characteristics of the slots on the waveguides, the bandwidth of the array is greatly improved.
