uniform linear array (ula)-based tapped-delay line (tdl) structure has good performance metrics when the signal sources are located at the middle angles. it offers poor performance when the signal sources are close to the array endfire. in this paper, a new approach is proposed which offers higher performance and desired beamforming on tdl structure when the wideband uncorrelated radio sources ...

A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...

Lauren Williams (joint work with Einar Steingrímsson) We introduce and study a class of tableaux which we call permutation tableaux; these tableaux are naturally in bijection with permutations, and they are a distinguished subset of the " Le-diagrams " of Alex Postnikov. The structure of these tableaux is in some ways more transparent than the structure of permutations; therefore we believe tha...

We consider the function m[k](q) that counts the number of cycle permutations of a finite field Fq of fixed length k such that their permutation polynomial has the smallest possible degree. We prove the upper–bound m[k](q) ≤ (k−1)!(q(q−1))/k for char(Fq) > e(k−3)/e and the lower–bound m[k](q) ≥ φ(k)(q(q−1))/k for q ≡ 1 (mod k). This is done by establishing a connection with the Fq–solutions of ...

Let H be a subgroup of the multiplicative group of a finite field. In this note we give a method for constructing permutation polynomials over the field using a bijective map from H to a coset of H. A similar, but inequivalent, method for lifting permutation behaviour of a polynomial to an extension field is also given.

‎In this work‎, ‎a regular polygon with $n$ sides is described by a periodic (circular) sequence with period $n$‎. ‎Each element of the sequence represents a vertex of the polygon‎. ‎Each symmetry of the polygon is the rotation of the polygon around the center-point and/or flipping around a symmetry axis‎. ‎Here each symmetry is considered as a system that takes an input circular sequence and g...

for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...

We consider rational functions of the form V(x)/U(x), where both V(x) and U(x) are relatively prime polynomials over finite field \(\mathbb {F}_q\). Polynomials that permute elements a field, called permutation (PPs), have been subject research for decades. Let \({\mathcal {P}}^1(\mathbb {F}_q)\) denote {F}_q\cup \{\infty \}\). If function, permutes {F}_q)\), it is function (PRF). \(N_d(q)\) nu...
