Analog/digital hybrid precoder and combiner have been widely used in millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems due to its energy-efficient and economic superiorities. Infinite resolution of phase shifters (PSs) for the analog beamformer can achieve very close performance compared to the full-digital scheme but will result in high complexity and intensive power consu...

Cloud RAN (C-RAN) is a promising enabler for distributed massive MIMO systems, yet is vulnerable to its fronthaul congestion. To cope with the limited fronthaul capacity, this paper proposes a hybrid analog-digital precoding design that adaptively adjusts fronthaul compression levels and the number of active radio-frequency (RF) chains out of the entire RF chains in a downlink distributed massi...

This study presents a hybrid algorithm obtained by combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with successive quadratic sequential programming (SQP), namely GA-SQP. GA is the main optimizer, whereas SQP is used to refine the results of GA, further improving the solution quality. The problem formulation is done in the framework named RUNE (fRamework for aUtomated aNalog dEsign), which targets solving no...

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications have been considered as a key technology for future 5G wireless networks because of the orders-of-magnitude wider bandwidth than current cellular bands. In this paper, we consider the problem of codebook-based joint analog-digital hybrid precoder and combiner design for spatial multiplexing transmission in a mmWave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sy...

The general quality of speech or important speech parameters such as the intelligibility, clearness or naturalness of speech can be emphasized by signal processing. Such processing for improving speech quality can be found in telecommunication applications, e.g. mobile telephony, internet telephony or personal intercom. By careful selection of domain for realization, i.e. digital, analog, or hy...

With the congestion of the sub-6GHz spectrum, the interest in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems operating on millimeter wave spectrum grows. In order to reduce the power consumption of such massive MIMO systems, hybrid analog/digital transceivers and application of low-resolution digital-to-analog/analog-to-digital converters have been recently proposed. In this work, we inv...

Attempts up to now to develop an analog realization of a fractional order control (FOC) element have focused on constructing an approximation of the FOC using ideal resistor/capacitor networks.[1] In fact, an ideal capacitor cannot exist. An ideal dielectric in a capacitor having an impedance of the form 1/(jωC) would violate causality. It seems sensible to look for dielectric materials exhibit...

A neurocomputer was implemented using radial basis functions and a combination of analog and digital VLSI circuits. The hybrid system uses custom analog circuits for the input layer and a digital signal processing board for the hidden and output layers. The system combines the advantages of both analog and digital circuits. featuring low power consumption while minimizing overall system error. ...

A robust In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) Digital Broadcasting system for offering improved performance over existing analog AM broadcasting has been completed by iBiquity Digital Corporation. The solution is both forward and backward compatible and does not require the allocation of additional channel spectrum. Broadcasters can simultaneously transmit both analog and digital signals within the alloca...
