However, MU-MIMO-OFDM significantly suffers from the nonlinear distortion which is a main drawback of OFDM. In this paper, we propose nonlinear distortion suppression scheme employing transmit power control for MU-MIMO-OFDM. The main feature of the proposed scheme is to apply the deterministic transmit power control to MU-MIMO-OFDM without any destruction of the space orthogonality. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in comparison with the traditional MU-MIMO-OFDM over the nonlinear fading channels.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"501 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122754500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present our efforts to replace some of previously used hybrid components by MMIC chips developed by Ulm University as a first step towards developing a fully MMIC chip for UWB precise localization system. UWB localization system with discrete and partially MMIC versions demonstrated similar performance, but the one with MMICs has significantly reduced power consumption and footprint.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125548307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike the other symmetric structures, this configuration has the ability to operate under both common- and differential-mode excitation. This ability is achieved by providing a physical short circuit by means of ground vias at the center of each unit-cell along the symmetry plane of the structure. In this study, we implemented a dual-mode balanced filter on the basis of the fact that CRLH unit-cells can be operated under both common- and differential-mode excitation. To validate this ability, a five-cell four port symmetric coupled CRLH-TL is simulated, fabricated, and its performance is measured. The obtained results are in good agreement with the simulation results under both common- and differential-mode excitation.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117343451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The up-conversion mixer comprises an enhanced double-balanced Gilbert cell with current injection for power consumption reduction, and negative resistance compensation for conversion gain (CG) enhancement, a parallel and differential IF transconductance stage for bandwidth and linearity enhancement, a Marchand balun for converting the single LO input signal to differential signal, and another Marchand balun for converting the differential RF output signal to single signal. The mixer consumes 12.1 mW and achieves IF-port input return loss of -12.8 dB at 0.1 GHz, LO-port input return loss of -9.5 ~ -11.4 dB and RF-port input return loss of -10.7 ~ -12.5 dB for frequencies 57~64 GHz. At IF of 0.1 GHz, the mixer achieves CG of 3.1~6 dB and LO-RF isolation of 26.4~30.7 dB for RF of 50~67 GHz. The corresponding 3-dB bandwidth of RF is larger than 17 GHz (the measurement range of 50~67 GHz).

In the tracking application considered the receiver array is deployed on a car roof or aircraft, so the geometry of the platform influences the compensation results. In this work, the effect of different ground plane geometries in terms of the standard deviation of angular error for each estimation algorithm using simulation results is investigated.
