Several standards exist for testing the radiated “over the air” (OTA) performance of 5G User Equipment (UE) devices. All these standards are limited to a Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) evaluation of the 5G device. With 5G networks and devices already deployed and in operation, it becomes necessary to develop realistic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and beamforming performance metrics for 5G UEs. Since the most important feature of 5G is beamforming, this paper reviews the main challenges to realistically evaluate 5G device performance and proposes several novel key performance indicators (KPIs). The results obtained by some measurements show that it is possible to derive figures of merit that address the complexity of beamforming and MIMO-based 5G performance of devices in a much better way compared with the existing SISO KPIs, and that academia should provide advanced future research on these more realistic KPIs for the industry to face the challenges ahead with a better analysis of the problem in hand.

Physical Attributes

Commercial User Equipment (UE) testing and certification has become more complex for state-of-the-art mobile communication standards such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) due to the extensive use of Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission techniques. The variety of different MIMO operating modes and the almost unlimited choice of possible multipath channel conditions under which UE performance may be evaluated are not accounted for by established Single Input-Single Output (SISO) Over-The-Air (OTA) performance metrics like Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) and Total Radiated Power (TRP). As pointed out in this contribution, meaningful metrics and cost-effective, low-complexity measurement methods can, nevertheless, be derived by focusing on characterization of the physical attributes of UE and by adopting statistical metrics. Starting from a brief review of the most important MIMO operating modes in the 3GPP LTE standard, the relation between UE properties and UE performance, which is observed in these operating modes, is discussed. Two complementary metrics and corresponding measurement procedures for evaluation of MIMO OTA performance are presented in order to address the diversity of possible propagation scenarios. Measurement results from preliminary implementations of the two proposed measurement procedures, including comparison between different LTE devices, are presented.

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.

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".

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.

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is a key multiple access technique for the long term evolution (LTE) downlink. However, high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) can cause the degradation of power efficiency. The well-known PAPR reduction technique, dummy sequence insertion (DSI), can be a realistic solution because of its structural simplicity. However, the large usage of subcarriers for the dummy sequences may decrease the transmitted data rate in the DSI scheme. In this paper, a novel DSI scheme is applied to the LTE system. Firstly, we obtain the null subcarriers in single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, respectively; then, optimized dummy sequences are inserted into the obtained null subcarrier. Simulation results show that Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) sequence is the best for the dummy sequence and the ratio of 16 to 20 for the WHT and randomly generated sequences has the maximum PAPR reduction performance. The number of near optimal iteration is derived to prevent exhausted iterations. It is also shown that there is no bit error rate (BER) degradation with the proposed technique in LTE downlink system.

Sar Processing

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.

Azimuth Resolution

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.

Feedforward Controller

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.

Purpose This paper aims to present the design of a compact vertically polarized four-element UWB antenna suitable for MIMO communications. Design/methodology/approach The unit cell antenna is constructed using a square ring radiator excited through a stepped impedance feed. The proposed antenna covers the Ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum ranging from 2.2 to 12.3 GHz. The isolation between the unit cell antennas in the array is enhanced using a simple microstrip line resonator. The decoupling element is connected to the ground through a via. Findings The proposed scheme offers at least 16 dB improvement in the port-to-port coupling. Furthermore, the four-element antenna array is constructed using a specific interlocking scheme. The proposed antenna array’s Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) performance metrics are analyzed. Originality/value By suitably selecting the excitation port, directional radiation patterns can be realized. The combined radiation pattern covers 360 degrees. A prototype antenna array is fabricated, and the simulation results are verified using real-time experiments. The proposed antenna is a suitable candidate for shark fin housing in automotive communications.
