Communication performance of Multi User MIMO system is degraded when the base station is interfered during channel estimation from other base stations (interference stations).

In this paper, the SAGE algorithm is applied to measured data acquired by the 20 GHz band channel sounder in a real urban street cell environment, and DOA (Direction of Arrival) is estimated. Then, the average arrival angles and angle spreads are calculated from the estimated results, and angle of arrival characteristics are evaluated. It is shown that the average angle of arrival gradually approaches to direction of transmitter as the distance between the transmitter and the receiver increases. Also, it is shown that the arrival angle spread in the azimuth plane tends to decrease as the distance between transmitter and receiver increases.

Positions of multiple objects can be estimated by finding the intersection of hyperbola, ellipse and circle.

Restriction of communication area is preferable in view point of security. Two kinds of beams are used in a communication area restriction system which has been proposed by the authors; one is for transmitting and the other is for jamming [1]. In the conventional method, a binomial coefficient is used; however, sidelobe level is raised in case of virtual linear array. This paper proposes a new weighting method using gamma function for virtual linear array to reduce the sidelobe level. The result of analysis shows that the undesired radiation is reduced by the proposed method.

A position estimation technique using electromagnetic wave has been proposed for object detection in wireless power transmission. However, conventional position estimation method has a problem that position estimation accuracy varies with object position.

Due to the orthogonality between the hyperbola and the ellipse, it is enabled to accurate position estimation regardless of the object position. Moreover, effect of thermal noise at the receiver antennas and antenna spacing of the receiver on position estimation accuracy is shown.

This paper describes a design method of a metasurface that consists of two types FSS (Frequency Selective Surface) and the ground plane to realize broadband reflected wave reduction. The ideal filtering characteristics of one FSS is clarified when the other FSS is a patch type FSS. A loop and patch type FSS is proposed to realize the ideal filtering characteristics. Then, a meta-surface with reflected wave reduction function is constructed with the patch type FSS and the proposed FSS. As a result, 48.9 % of a relative bandwidth within a reflection amplitude −10 dB or less is obtained by the proposed meta-surface.

Recently, electromagnetic interference in AM radio receivers associated with noise generated from the power control unit (DC-DC converters/inverters) and other power electronics devices, such as an electric power steering (EPS) control modules, in hybrid vehicles (HVs) has become a serious problem. In order to address this problem, most noise suppression methods use either noise filters (for noise sources) or shield wiring and ferrite cores (for noise propagation paths). We have proposed a noise suppression method through digital signal processing in an AM radio receiver. In this method, the received AM radio signal containing HV noise is first quadrature demodulated. Next, a replica signal of the noise is generated using the noise signal in the quadrature component. The replica signal is then subtracted from the AM radio signal containing the noise of the in-phase component. In this paper, first, we show the noise canceling method. And then, we construct a prototype of the radio receiver system based on the method. Finally, we demonstrate that the system can reduce the DC-DC converter noise and the EPS noise superimposed at the same time on the AM radio signal by more than 15 dB.

This paper describes a metasurface designed utilizing either a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) that has band-pass characteristics or one with band-rejection filtering characteristics in order to clarify the relationship between the filtering characteristics of the FSS and the Perfect Magnetic Conductor (PMC) characteristics of the metasurface. The effects of the filtering characteristics of the FSS on the PMC characteristics of the metasurface are described. Calculation results confirm that a low profile metasurface can be achieved using these FSSs. In addition, the effects of the size of the metasurface on the PMC characteristics of the surface are shown.

This paper proposes a novel blind multiuser detection scheme using CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) adaptive array. In the proposed scheme, the received signal is processed in two steps. In the primary step, only one user is captured by the CMA adaptive array, and at the same time, the other users' directions of arrival (DOA) are estimated. In the secondary step, initial weight vectors are set based on the estimated DOAs, and it processes with CMAs again to capture the other users in parallel. Thus, all the users are detected exactly and recovered separately. The Least-squares CMA is applied as an optimization algorithm to improve the performance of the proposed scheme, and the performances using the proposed scheme with linear arrays and circular arrays are discussed in detail. Simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.
