However, many realistic networks exhibit inhomogeneity due to natural and man-made reasons. In this work, the capacity of inhomogeneous hybrid networks with directional antennas for the first time is studied. By setting different node distribution probabilities, the whole network can be devided into dense cells and sparse cells. On this basis, an inhomogeneous hybrid network model is proposed. The network can exhibit significant inhomogeneity due to the coexistence of two types of cells. Then, we derive the network capacity and maximize the capacity under different channel allocation schemes. Finally, how the network parameters influence the network capacity is analyzed. It is found that if there are plenty of base stations, the per-node throughput can achieve constant order, and if the beamwidth of directional antenna is small enough, the network capacity can scale.展开更多

The shared aperture is enclosed by a deep cavity, which is covered by a columniform dielectric radome. A modified quadrifilar helix antenna （QHA） with extended volute arms and a vertical monopole with a ring shaped ground are arranged in this co-aperture for global position system （GPS） orientation and telemetry, respectively. The effects of the cavity on these two antennas and the mutual coupling between these two antennas are studied through large numbers of experiments. The results show that the QHA has a strong influence on the monopole; however, these two antennas of the overall arrangement can perform simultaneously well within the aperture. The QHA has a right hand circular polarization （RHCP） and a broad beam normal to the radome topside, meanwhile the monopole can be used to produce a main lobe in the grazing direction above the aperture in some certain cases of the vertical location of the QHA in the cavity.展开更多

To eliminate the shadow effect, we divide the CCAs into several subarrays to obtain the complete output vector. Considering the anisotropic radiation pattern of a CCA, which cannot be separated from the manifold matrix, an improved interpolation method is investigated to transform the directional subarray into omnidirectional virtual nested arrays without non-orthogonal perturbation on the noise vector. Then, the cross-correlation matrix(CCM) of the subarrays is used to generate the consecutive co-arrays without redundant elements and eliminate the noise vector. Finally, the full-rank equivalent covariance matrix is constructed using the output of co-arrays,and the unitary estimation of the signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques(ESPRIT) is performed on the equivalent covariance matrix to estimate the DOAs with low computational complexity. Numerical simulations verify the superior performance of the proposed algorithm, especially under a low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) environment.展开更多

These errors can decrease the antenna performance, for instance, the gain reduction, side lobe level enhancement, and incorrect beam direction. In order to improve the performance of the antenna in the presence of these errors, phase error correction of large phased array antennas using the genetic algorithm（GA） is implemented. By using the phase compensation method, the antenna overall radiation pattern is recovered close to the ideal radiation pattern without error. By applying the simulation data to a 32×40 array of elements with a square grid at the frequency of S-band and measurement of the radiation pattern, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.展开更多

Initially, a comparative motion analysis between the 3D model of the mount and its full-scale prototype is conducted to validate effectiveness. Given the inherent complexity, a kinematic mapping model is established between the mount and the crank-slider linkage, providing a guiding framework for subsequent analysis and optimization. Guided by this model, feasible inverse and forward solutions are derived, enabling precise identification of stiffness singularities. The concept of singularity distance is thus introduced to reflect the structural stiffness of the mount. Subsequently, also guided by the mapping model, a heuristic algorithm incorporating two backtracking procedures is developed to reduce the mount's mass. Additionally, a parametric finite-element model is employed to explore the relation between singularity distance and structural stiffness. The results indicate a significant reduction(about 16%) in the antenna mount's mass through the developed algorithm, while highlighting the singularity distance as an effective stiffness indicator for this type of antenna mount.展开更多

The former researches have confirmed that the cells groupings time-shift pilots scheme is effective to reduce inter-cell interference, especially pilot contamination, which results from the pilot reuse in adjacent cells. However, they have not specified reasonable cells groupings factor, which plays a critical role in the general performance of the LSAS. Therefore, this problem is researched in details. The time for reverse-link data transmission will be compressed, when the groupings factor surpasses a certain range. Thus it is not always beneficial to increase the cells groupings factor without limitation. Furthermore,a reasonable cells groupings factor is deduced from the perspective of optimization to enhance the system performance. Simulations verify the proposed cell grouping factor.展开更多
