Transmit Antenna Selection using Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (TAS-OSTBC) aided Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications is proposed in this paper. The TAS transmitter is characterized by a lower number of Radio Frequency (RF) chains than the number of transmit antennas, hence it is capable of reducing both the energy consumption as well as the transmitter cost. The proposed scheme combines TAS-OSTBC system with Hybrid Analog-Digital Beamforming for 60 GHz mmWave communications and using Hadamard transform. The computer simulation results demonstrate that the TAS-OSTBC scheme with fully digital SVD-based precoding has better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than that of the conventional TAS system with OSTBC scheme. Furthermore, the error performance is significantly improved by applying Uniform Linear Array (ULA) antennas which improve the system performance as the number of array elements increases due to providing a beamforming gain. It is also found that the BER performance is further improved by applying Hadamard transform with an SNR improvement of about 3dB over the conventional systems without using Hadamard transform.

Abstract The DC motor drives one of the high performance drives that still in competition in industrial application, because of its high performance, robustness, and its lower cost compared with AC motor drives.Due to its majority applications, the separately excited DC motor driver is studied. In order to improve, three independent controller design using classical proportional - integral – derivative, linear quadratic regulator and artificial neural network are considered.The Performance of these controllers has been verified through simulation based on MATLAB/SIMULINK software tools. According to the obtained simulation results, it is found that, an artificial neural network can achieve a better transient and steady state response in comparing to the other two design method. Consequently, the superiority of ANN controller over conventional proportional - integral – derivative is demonstrated this shows the superiority of artificial neural network controller over conventional and linear quadratic regulator controllers.

Denoising of chirp based signals is a challenging problem in signal processing and communications. In this paper, we propose a suitable denoising algorithm based on the discrete linear chirp transform (DLCT), which provides local signal decomposition in terms of linear chirps. Analytical expression for the optimal filter response is derived. The method relies on the ability of the DLCT for providing a sparse representation to a wide class of broadband signals like chirp signals. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed method, especially for mono-component chirp signals.
