A characterization of switched linear control systems with finite L 2 -gain
Motivated by an open problem posed by J.P. Hespanha, we extend the notion of
Barabanov norm and extremal trajectory to classes of switching signals that are
not closed under concatenation. We use these tools to prove that the finiteness
of the L2-gain is equivalent, for a large set of switched linear control
systems, to the condition that the generalized spectral radius associated with
any minimal realization of the original switched system is smaller than one
Balanced truncation for linear switched systems
In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the model reduction
algorithm for linear switched systems. This algorithm is a reminiscence of the
balanced truncation method for linear parameter varying systems. Specifically
in this paper, we provide a bound on the approximation error in L2 norm for
continuous-time and l2 norm for discrete-time linear switched systems. We
provide a system theoretic interpretation of grammians and their singular
values. Furthermore, we show that the performance of bal- anced truncation
depends only on the input-output map and not on the choice of the state-space
representation. For a class of stable discrete-time linear switched systems (so
called strongly stable systems), we define nice controllability and nice
observability grammians, which are genuinely related to reachability and
controllability of switched systems. In addition, we show that quadratic
stability and LMI estimates of the L2 and l2 gains depend only on the
input-output map.Comment: We have corrected a number of typos and inconsistencies. In addition,
we added new results in Theorem
Multi-Step Knowledge-Aided Iterative ESPRIT for Direction Finding
In this work, we propose a subspace-based algorithm for DOA estimation which
iteratively reduces the disturbance factors of the estimated data covariance
matrix and incorporates prior knowledge which is gradually obtained on line. An
analysis of the MSE of the reshaped data covariance matrix is carried out along
with comparisons between computational complexities of the proposed and
existing algorithms. Simulations focusing on closely-spaced sources, where they
are uncorrelated and correlated, illustrate the improvements achieved.Comment: 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1703.1052
Uplink Multiuser MIMO Detection Scheme with Reduced Computational Complexity
The wireless communication systems with multiple antennas have recently received significant attention due to their higher capacity and better immunity to fading channels as compared to single antenna systems. A fast antenna selection scheme has been introduced for the uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection to achieve diversity gains, but the computational complexity of the fast antenna selection scheme in multiuser systems is very high due to repetitive pseudo-inversion computations. In this paper, a new uplink multiuser detection scheme is proposed adopting a switch-and-examine combining (SEC) scheme and the Cholesky decomposition to solve the computational complexity problem. K users are considered that each users is equipped with two transmit antennas for Alamouti space-time block code (STBC) over wireless Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show that the computational complexity of the proposed scheme is much lower than the systems with exhaustive and fast antenna selection, while the proposed scheme does not experience the degradations of bit error rate (BER) performances
Conversion from linear to circular polarization in FPGA
Context: Radio astronomical receivers are now expanding their frequency range
to cover large (octave) fractional bandwidths for sensitivity and spectral
flexibility, which makes the design of good analogue circular polarizers
challenging. Better polarization purity requires a flatter phase response over
increasingly wide bandwidth, which is most easily achieved with digital
techniques. They offer the ability to form circular polarization with perfect
polarization purity over arbitrarily wide fractional bandwidths, due to the
ease of introducing a perfect quadrature phase shift. Further, the rapid
improvements in field programmable gate arrays provide the high processing
power, low cost, portability and reconfigurability needed to make practical the
implementation of the formation of circular polarization digitally. Aims: Here
we explore the performance of a circular polarizer implemented with digital
techniques. Methods: We designed a digital circular polarizer in which the
intermediate frequency signals from a receiver with native linear polarizations
were sampled and converted to circular polarization. The frequency-dependent
instrumental phase difference and gain scaling factors were determined using an
injected noise signal and applied to the two linear polarizations to equalize
the transfer characteristics of the two polarization channels. This
equalization was performed in 512 frequency channels over a 512 MHz bandwidth.
Circular polarization was formed by quadrature phase shifting and summing the
equalized linear polarization signals. Results: We obtained polarization purity
of -25 dB corresponding to a D-term of 0.06 over the whole bandwidth.
Conclusions: This technique enables construction of broad-band radio astronomy
receivers with native linear polarization to form circular polarization for
VLBI.Comment: 11 pages 8 figure

Specifically, the stochastic bilinear jump system under study involves unknown state time-delay, parameter uncertainties, and unknown nonlinear deterministic disturbances. The jumping parameters considered here form a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process. The whole system may be regarded as a stochastic bilinear hybrid system that includes both time-evolving and event-driven mechanisms. Our attention is focused on the design of a robust state-feedback controller such that, for all admissible uncertainties as well as nonlinear disturbances, the closed-loop system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence of desired robust controllers, which are given in terms of the solutions to a set of either linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), or coupled quadratic matrix inequalities. The developed theory is illustrated by numerical simulatio
