Array Errors

Wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) imaging radar can achieve high-resolution imaging with a specific multi-antenna structure. However, its imaging performance is severely affected by the array errors, including the inter-channel errors and the position errors of all the transmitting and receiving elements (TEs/REs). Conventional calibration methods are suitable for the narrow-band signal model, and cannot separate the element position errors from the array errors. This paper proposes a method for estimating and compensating the array errors of wideband MIMO imaging radar based on multiple prominent targets. Firstly, a high-precision target position estimation method is proposed to acquire the prominent targets’ positions without other equipment. Secondly, the inter-channel amplitude and delay errors are estimated by solving an equation-constrained least square problem. After this, the element position errors are estimated with the genetic algorithm to eliminate the spatial-variant error phase. Finally, the feasibility and correctness of this method are validated with both simulated and experimental datasets.

Simulation Results

<p>Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems play a vital role in fourth generation wireless systems to provide advanced data rate. In this paper, a better performance and reduced complexity channel estimation method is proposed for MIMO systems based on matrix factorization. This technique is applied on training based least squares (LS) channel estimation using STBC for performance improvement. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method not only alleviates the performance of MIMO channel estimation but also significantly reduces the complexity caused by matrix inversion. The performance evaluations are validated through computer simulations using MATLAB in terms of bit error rate (BER) for modified LS with LS and MMSE channel estimation techniques. Simulation results show that the BER performance and complexity of the proposed method clearly outperforms the conventional LS channel estimation method.</p><p><em>Journal of Advanced College of Engineering and Management, Vol. 1, 2015</em>, pp. 11-24</p>

The key point researched by many scholars in the field of surveying and mapping is how to use the given geodetic height H measured by GPS to obtain the normal height. Although many commonly-used fitting methods have solved many problems, they all value the pending parameters as the nonrandom variables. Figuring out the best valuations, according to the traditional least square principle, only considers its trend or randomness, which is theoretically incomprehensive and have limitations in practice. Therefore, a method is needed not only considers its trend but also takes randomness into account. This method is called the least squares collocation.

Torque Ripples

This article presents an estimation method of the BLDC rotor position with asymmetrically arranged Hall sensors. Position estimation is necessary to control the motor by methods other than block commutation. A sinusoidal control method was selected for the research, which significantly reduces torque ripples and acoustic noise and is quite simple to implement. Inaccurate performance of the elements determining the position of the BLDC motor rotor causes a large error in the position estimation and has a negative impact on the operation of the drive controlled in this way. Using the developed control algorithms, it is possible to correctly determine the mechanical position of the rotor even for multi-pole motors. The proposed method is relatively easy to implement and does not require modification of control systems, being limited to changes only in the software of such devices. The tests of the actual system clearly show the usefulness of such a control method and its effectiveness.
