Abstract The design efficiency of mechanical systems has traditionally been measured via mechanical advantage (MA) which relates the amount of force exerted at the output to the corresponding force applied at the input. MA has been confined to single-input single-output devices, and only recently to single-input multiple-output port devices. This paper presents an alternative approach to MA. The classical definition of MA required the input force to do work on the mechanism, and the output force to be worked on by the mechanism. However this may cause problems where the external loads flip back and forth between doing work to and being worked on by the mechanism at different points in the cycle. This paper overcomes this difficulty by considering the input force as that applied by the mechanism actuator, and the output force to be the external or applied load. With these definitions, a general expression for MA applicable to multiple-input, multiple-output port mechanisms is presented.

The future wireless communication requires a reliable transmission at high data rates, so the transmission over frequency-selective fading Multiple-Input–Multiple-Output MIMO channels become interesting since the capacity of "MIMO" channels expressions enormous gains above that of their essential single-input–single-output "SISO" channels. This paper examines the performance of the Low Complexity Zero Forcing "LCZF" equalizer for both systems single-input–single-output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing" SISO-OFDM" and spatially multiplexed-Multiple-Input–Multiple-Output "SM-MIMO-OFDM" with different "QAM" modulations. It is exploring a new algorithm to improve the performance of the "BER", spectral efficiency, and power efficiency and to reduce the complexity of the "RF" communication system under the effect of the Additive White Gaussian Noise "AWGN" and multipath fading channel. It is also improves an efficient channel by developing a Low Complexity Zero Forcing "LCZF" equalizer for both "SISO-OFDM" and "SM-MIMO-OFDM" wireless Communication systems. This is done by proposing a new algorithm at the receiver side to covert the Linear Convolution in to Cyclic Convolution by adding Zero Padding "ZP" to the channel impulse response in such a way to be the same length to the transmitted signal in the time domain which is of length N, where N is the length of "IFFT".

In this paper, we are concerned on the receiver design and the different imaging possibilities for radar multiple input multiple output (MIMO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The transmission of pseudo-orthogonal waveforms gives many opportunities in reception on how to manage these different signals. We proposed to compare different resolutions and robustness for SAR measurements: single input single output (SISO) and MIMO. Moreover, we developed different SAR processings based on MIMO configuration by using the Stolt interpolation on simulations. On real data, these SAR processing will be adapted for the backprojection processing.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a promising technology in radar imaging which provides a better balance of azimuth resolution and swath width compared with traditional single-input single-output (SISO) SAR. It has the potential to help scientists and engineers to design ambitious SAR system with higher resolution and wider swath. This paper studies the principle of MIMO SAR using orthogonal coding waveform and then provides the performance analysis in resolution and swath width. By using orthogonal coding waveform, lower channel interference is obtained, which makes MIMO SAR achieve wider unambiguous range swath and lower azimuth ambiguity. Simulations are carried out by means of the system parameters of real spaceborne SAR platform. A ground-based MIMO SAR imaging system with up and down chirp modulation is also designed. The performances of MIMO SAR and SISO SAR are compared, and the validity and advantage of MIMO SAR are verified.

The mechanical advantage concept has long been used as a measure of design efficiency of mechanical systems, whose function it is to respond by exerting a certain amount of force at the output for a corresponding input force. The mechanical advantage of a device is characterized by a ratio of the output force to the input force, for the instant in consideration. Traditionally, only single-input and single-output port devices have been analyzed for mechanical advantage. The simplicity of such a configuration makes for tractable analysis by one or more methods available. This paper enunciates a more general mechanical device problem containing single-input and multiple-output ports. In particular, emphasis is placed on a single-input and functionally related multiple-output ports device. Its treatment facilitates efficient design of such a device, as exemplified in this paper.

In this study, a multiple-input multiple-output feedforward controller for use with multiple-point fuel injection systems is applied to a diesel engine using an original control-oriented model. The target-tracking performance of this multiple-input multiple-output feedforward controller was then tested in terms of how well the controller adjusts the fuel delivery ratios to the pilot injection, pre-injection, main fuel injection, and the main fuel injection timing, and controls the in-cylinder peak pressure and its timing. Control experiments are conducted at different engine outputs and speeds while changing the targets of the in-cylinder peak pressure and its timing. The controller is able to track the varying targets within an acceptable error included in the original model. The calculation time, which is almost double that of a single-input single-output controller, is sufficiently fast to derive the applicable inputs.

Abstract. Multiple-Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) along-track formations can be used to fraction the power resources into compact, lightweight and cost-effective satellites, or to extend the swath coverage beyond the limit provided by a small antenna. In this second case, the Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) is kept low by implementing an inversion that solves up to N−1 ambiguities, given N observations. The simultaneous illumination – that allows for the N² gain due to the coherent combination of the N transmitters and the N receivers, is analyzed and shown not to be critical, as the more than N=2 sensors are assumed. Performance is evaluated for the N=2 and N=3 cases and compared with the Single Input Multiple Output formations, where one sensor is transmitting, and all are receiving. Finally, the impact of the across-track deviation from the orbit is modeled and evaluated.

The modified Smith predictor is well known as an effective time-delay compensator for a plant with large time-delays, and several papers on the modified Smith predictor have been published. The parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for single-input/single-output time-delay plants is obtained by Yamada et al. However, they do not examine the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for multiple-input/multiple-output time-delay plants. The purpose of this paper is to expand the result by Yamada et al. and to propose the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for multiple-input/multiple-output time-delay plants. Control characteristics of the control system using obtained parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors are also given. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of proposed parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors.

Abstract. In this paper, an overview of carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithms for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems is presented. It is well-known that multicarrier systems suffer from their high sensitivity to mismatches of transmitter and receiver oscillator frequencies. The performance degrades since the CFO destroys the orthogonality of the subcarriers. Hence, extensive research has been done on the estimation and correction of the CFO in Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) systems. Mainly, the proposed algorithms can be categorized into data-aided and blind techniques. Several estimation techniques have been extended to the Single-Input Multiple- Output (SIMO) case where multiple receive antennas can be utilized to gain diversity. However, less attention has been paid on synchronization in the attractive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) case which is topic of tremendous interest in current research. The present paper concentrates on aspects of this new scenario. Starting with algorithms for SISO and SIMO, this contribution reviews briefly proposed carrier frequency synchronization techniques which could be implemented in forthcoming MIMO systems.

High information rates inside the restricted frequency (RF) spectrum is often fascinating that results in radios with capabilities on the far side a single-input single-output (SISO) topology. In recent days introduced wireless systems have adopted multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) topologies that use 2 or more transmitters and 2 or more receivers to send information at the same time over same RF bandwidth. The performance of MIMO system may be improved by involving multiple antennas at transmitter and receiver therefore on offer spatial diversity. during this paper, the performance analysis of MIMO system over AWGN attenuation channel and Rician Channel with ZF receiver is bestowed. The consequences of the antenna choice can even be analyzed from the simulated results. The BER (Bit Error Rate) performance characteristics of ZeroForcing (ZF) receiver is investigated for M-PSK modulation technique over the AWGN channel and Rician Channel.
