An ANP application for identifying and prioritizing opportunities and threatens for technology transfer

During the past few years, there have been different changes in global market due to fast development of science and technology. These changes have increased competition among all existing companies and it has made it difficult for new rivals to gain market share. This paper tries to identify the opportunities and threats of technology transfer in one of world’s fastest growing gas development regions called Pars Special Economic Energy Zone. The proposed model of this paper first identify important factors influencing both opportunities as well as threats and then uses analytical hierarchy process to rank all factors. The results show that the threats were more important than the existing opportunities and among the most important threats, embargo and sales of oil were the most important ones

A Compact Filter and Dipole Antenna With Its Phased Array Filtenna and ADMM-BO Learning for Use-Case Analog/Hybrid Beamforming in 5G mmWave Communications

In this article, a 5G compact millimeter-wave dipole antenna with high gain and its array filter-antenna is proposed, following a theoretical discussion is proposed. To increase the gain and focused mainbeam, the double dipole is inserted at the ground plane. The results show that the proposed antenna has an impedance band-width (IBW) of around 7.14% and 6.7 dBi gain at 28 GHz. Next, a 5G filter is proposed with 4% IBW and lower than 0.6 dB gain insertion loss. A simple phase-shifter with 2-bit structure is designed in an 8-elemens array filter-antenna with 0.35λ spacing between the two elements which uses a meander-line to reduce mutual-coupling. First, the phased-array filtenna (filter-antenna) is fabricated to meet the analog beamforming challenge. The IBWs of the array filter antenna are approximately 3.5% with a high gain of 15 dBi. Second, a novel machine learning method is proposed as an alternating direction method of multipliers and Bayesian Optimization (ADMM-BO) is used in the hybrid beamforming for such partially-connected phased-array structures. Simulation and measurement results show that the proposed antenna and its array have a high gain in analog and hybrid beamforming and acceptable data rates. The data-rates of this array reach 100 Mb/s in SNRs higher than 10 dB. The amount for 0 dB SNR is 75 Mb/s. These results also indicate that the mainbeam shift is in the range of [−50°, 50°] with a gain in variations of around 1.5 dB and side lobe level (SLL) of about −10 dB at 50°

Compact 5G millimeter-wave dual-band filter with application in filtenna

In this article, a dual-band sixth order double symmetric T-slot filter is proposed for the 5G communication systems. This filter contains two duplicate square resonators and a T-shape feedline on the Rogers RT duroid 5880 substrate. Operating at the 28 and 38.5 GHz frequencies from licensed 5G frequency bands and small size make this filter appropriate for different 5G applications. Furthermore, an LC equivalent circuit for the filter has been considered that helps us to have a better sight of this filter. Measurement results show good agreement with simulations. The attenuation on the passband is less than 1 dB. In order to evaluate the filter performance besides other millimeter waves components, a wideband antenna is combined with the filter to form a filtenna. The achieved results show the appropriate performance and well-matched with other 5G devices
