Signal Processing in Arrayed MIMO Systems

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, using antenna arrays at both receiver and transmitter, have shown great potential to provide high bandwidth utilization efficiency. Unlike other reported research on MIMO systems which often assumes independent antennas, in this thesis an arrayed MIMO system framework is proposed, which provides a richer description of the channel charac- teristics and additional degrees of freedom in designing communication systems. Firstly, the spatial correlated MIMO system is studied as an array-to-array system with each array (Tx or Rx) having predefined constrained aperture. The MIMO system is completely characterized by its transmit and receive array man- ifolds and a new spatial correlation model other than Kronecker-based model is proposed. As this model is based on array manifolds, it enables the study of the effect of array geometry on the capacity of correlated MIMO channels. Secondly, to generalize the proposed arrayed MIMO model to a frequency selective fading scenario, the framework of uplink MIMO DS-CDMA (Direct- Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) systems is developed. DOD estimation is developed based on transmit beamrotation. A subspace-based joint DOA/TOA estimation scheme as well as various spatial temporal reception algorithms is also proposed. Finally, the downlink MIMO-CDMA systems in multiple-access multipath fading channels are investigated. Linear precoder and decoder optimization problems are studied under different criterions. Optimization approaches with different power allocation schemes are investigated. Sub-optimization approaches with close-form solution and thus less computation complexity are also proposed

Study of the heavy CP-even Higgs with mass 125 GeV in two-Higgs-doublet models at the LHC and ILC

We assume that the 125 GeV Higgs discovered at the LHC is the heavy CP-even Higgs of the two-Higgs-doublet models, and examine the parameter space in the Type-I, Type-II, Lepton-specific and Flipped models allowed by the latest Higgs signal data, the relevant experimental and theoretical constraints. Further, we show the projected limits on $\tan\beta$, $\sin(\beta-\alpha)$, $Hf\bar{f}$ and $HVV$ couplings from the future measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs at the LHC and ILC, including the LHC with integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ (LHC-300 fb$^{-1}$) and 3000 fb$^{-1}$ (LHC-3000 fb$^{-1}$) as well as the ILC at $\sqrt{s}=250$ GeV (ILC-250 GeV), $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV (ILC-500 GeV) and $\sqrt{s}=1000$ GeV (ILC-1000 GeV). Assuming that the future Higgs signal data have no deviation from the SM expectation, the LHC-300 fb$^{-1}$, LHC-3000 fb$^{-1}$ and ILC-1000 GeV can exclude the wrong-sign Yukawa coupling regions of the Type-II, Flipped and Lepton-specific models at the $2\sigma$ level, respectively. The future experiments at the LHC and ILC will constrain the Higgs couplings to be very close to SM values, especially for the $HVV$ coupling.Comment: 22 pages, 3 tables, 6 figures.

A simplified 2HDM with a scalar dark matter and the galactic center gamma-ray excess

Due to the strong constrain from the LUX experiment, the scalar portal dark matter can not generally explain a gamma-ray excess in the galactic center by the annihilation of dark matter into $b\bar{b}$. With the motivation of eliminating the tension, we add a scalar dark matter to the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, and focus on a simplified scenario, which has two main characteristics: (i) The heavy CP-even Higgs is the discovered 125 GeV Higgs boson, which has the same couplings to the gauge bosons and fermions as the SM Higgs. (ii) Only the light CP-even Higgs mediates the dark matter interactions with SM particles, which has no couplings to $WW$ and $ZZ$, but the independent couplings to the up-type quarks, down-type quarks and charged leptons. We find that the tension between $_{SS\to b\bar{b}}$ and the constraint from LUX induced by the scalar portal dark matter can go away for the isospin-violating dark matter-nucleon coupling with $-1.0< f^n/f^p<0.7$, and the constraints from the Higgs search experiments and the relic density of Planck are also satisfied.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; reference adde

LHC diphoton and Z+photon Higgs signals in the Higgs triplet model with Y=0

We study the implications of the LHC diphoton and Z+photon Higgs signals on the Higgs triplet model with Y=0. We discuss three different scenarios: (i) the observed boson is the light Higgs boson $h$; (ii) it is the heavy Higgs boson $H$; (iii) the observed signal is from the almost degenerate $h$ and $H$. We find that the inclusive Higgs diphoton rates in the first two scenarios can be enhanced or suppressed compared to the SM value, which can respectively fit the ATLAS and CMS diphoton data within $1\sigma$ range. The inclusive $ZZ^*$ rates are suppressed, which are outside $1\sigma$ range of ATLAS data and within $1\sigma$ range of CMS data. Meanwhile, another CP-even Higgs boson production rate can be suppressed enough not to be observed at the collider. For the third scenario, the Higgs diphoton rate is suppressed, which is outside $1\sigma$ range of ATLAS data, and the $ZZ^*$ rate equals to SM value approximately. In addition, we find that the two rates of $h\to \gamma\gamma$ and $h\to Z\gamma$ have the positive correlations for the three scenarios.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures.

Status of the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model confronted with the Higgs data

Imposing the theoretical constraints from vacuum stability, unitarity and perturbativity as well as the experimental constraints from the electroweak precision data, flavor observables and the non-observation of additional Higgs at collider, we study the implications of available Higgs signals on a two-Higgs-doublet model with the alignment of the down-type quarks and charged lepton Yukawa coupling matrices. Compared to the four traditional types of two-Higgs-doublet models, the model has two additional mixing angles $\theta_d$ and $\theta_l$ in the down-type quark and charged lepton Yukawa interactions. We find that the mixing angle $\theta_d$ can loose the constraints on $sin(\beta-\alpha)$, $tan\beta$ and $m_{H^{\pm}}$ sizably. The model can provide the marginally better fit to available Higgs signals data than SM, which requires the Higgs couplings with gauge bosons, $u\bar{u}$ and $d\bar{d}$ to be properly suppressed, and favors (1 <\theta_d< 2, 0.5 <\theta_l< 2.2) for $m_h=$ 125.5 GeV and (0.5 <\theta_d< 2, 0.5 <\theta_l< 2.2) for $m_H=$ 125.5 GeV. However, these Higgs couplings are allowed to have sizable deviations from SM for ($m_h=$ 125.5 GeV, 125.5 $\leq m_H\leq$ 128 GeV) and (125 GeV $\leq m_h\leq$ 125.5 GeV, $m_H=$ 125.5 GeV).Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures and 3 tables.

The invariant tori of knot type and the interlinked invariant tori in the Nos\'e-Hoover system

We revisit the famous Nos\'e-Hoover system in this paper and show the existence of some averagely conservative regions which are filled with an infinite sequence of nested tori. Depending on initial conditions, some invariant tori are of trefoil knot type, while the others are of trivial knot type. Moreover, we present a variety of interlinked invariant tori whose initial conditions are chosen from different averagely conservative regions and give all the interlinking numbers of those interlinked tori, showing that this quadratic system possesses so rich dynamic properties.Comment: 8 pages,8 figure
