In such circumstances, low cost hardware and power consumption are the main challenges. Furthermore, the hardware is tasked with computation of high dimensional optimal matrices of hybrid precoding design using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP). This paper addresses two algorithms to enhance the efficiency of the OMP reconstruction algorithm in mmWave precoding design. The spectral efficiency of the mmWave system using the proposed algorithms is compared with previous works and the optimal case (a fully digital precoder). The results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is very close to that of the optimal design even though the complexity of the design is reduced.","PeriodicalId":254840,"journal":{"name":"2018 Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132639918","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}

It is well-known that certain classes of broadband antennas such as log-periodic antennas, spirals, and conical spirals are very difficult if not impossible to equalize for a monopulse response. In this paper we will show that this problem is inherent to such antennas, independent of the details of their structure, because it can be shown analytically that the transfer functions associated with them cannot be minimum phase.","PeriodicalId":254840,"journal":{"name":"2018 Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121826697","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}

It is based on measuring the conductance and the capacitance in two different locations of the pipe. Each location requires two cylindrical conducting sheets, each covering half of the inner surface of the pipeline and is separated by small gaps at the top and bottom of the pipe. The measurement of the conductance is shown to be sufficient to determine the quantity of brine inside the pipe, while the measurement of the capacitance provides the oil flow rate. Experimental results are used to validate theoretical formulation and the numerical solution. The results are found to be comparable with existing data available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":254840,"journal":{"name":"2018 Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125479499","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}
