The winter parameters were introduced to simulate the effects of different parameters during the artificial electron heating of PMWE. The important role of the charged dust particle in the creation of PMWE is confirmed again. It is found that during the heating of PMWE, the increases of the dust size, dust charge, electron temperature, initial electron density, and ion-neutral collision frequency cause the increase of the electron density irregularity, and hence the PMWE strength. However, with increasing the dust density, the electron density irregularity and the PMWE strength decrease.","PeriodicalId":53467,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Science and Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"287-295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42768861","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}

These circuits are suitable for integrated circuit manufacture, and their parameters fo and Q can be orthogonally adjusted with varying the bias currents of VDTAs.

We consider a time-division duplexing (TDD) scheme, in which reciprocity between the uplink and downlink channels can be assumed. Channel estimation is essential for downlink beamforming in massive MIMO, nevertheless, the pilot contamination effect hinders accurate channel estimation, which leads to overall performance degradation. Benefitted from the asymptotic orthogonality between signal and interference subspaces for non-overlapping angle-of arrivals (AOAs) in the large-scale antenna system, we propose a multiple signals classification (MUSIC) based channel estimation algorithm during the uplink transmission. Analytical and numerical results verify complete pilot decontamination and the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation algorithm in the multiuser multi-cell massive MIMO system.","PeriodicalId":53467,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Science and Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"266-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49353756","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}
