Massive MIMO is considered a key technology for the future wireless communication systems. The promising properties in terms of higher spectral and transmit-energy efficiency are brought by the large number of antennas at the base station (BS). As the number of antennas increases, the aperture of the BS antenna array may become much larger, as compared to today's antenna arrays. In this case, mobi

Introduction For the future conservation, restoration and daily maintenance the need for developing non-destructive and in-situ investigations is vital. At Lund University in Sweden an interdisciplinary research project is being held aiming at, with the help of a mobile system of remote fluorescence lidar, survey and study the facades of historic monuments, and to develop the method and its applic

In this work we compare channel estimation algorithms for use in an iterative CDMA receiver in a block fading environment. The receiver consists of a soft multiuser data estimator, a bank of single user decoders, and a multiuser channel estimator. The multiuser data estimator is implemented as parallel interference canceler with unconditional post-MMSE filtering (PIC-MMSE) and the decoder is a sof

Being able to orient in the vicinity of the home and independently go shopping or visiting a friend can become increasingly difficult when a person suffers from memory decline. The adaption of traditional navigation apps based on satellite positioning could provide an aid, but there are several questions to investigate related to the design and function of such an app. These questions include how

A sequential Bayesian estimation algorithm for joint positioning and multipath mitigation in global navigation satellite systems is presented, with an underlying process model that is especially designed for dynamic user scenarios and dynamic channel conditions. In order to facilitate efficient integration into receivers it builds upon complexity reduction concepts that previously have been applie

Using a ground-based and an above-canopy eddy covariance system in addition to stem respiration measurements, the annual respiratory fluxes attributable to soil, stems and foliage were determined for a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forest growing in central Siberia. Night-time foliar respiration was estimated on the basis of the difference between fluxes measured below and above the canopy and

This paper presents the manufacturing experience of an outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous machine with four different stators. The advantageous features of powder technology and molding techniques are tested when constructing and manufacturing the stators for a 28-pole 30-slot machine. The selected machine configuration is taking advantages of the concept of the modular windings and at the s

Advanced radio system designs have been proposed that are intended to overcome or even take advantage of the radio channel caused by multipath effects in urban environments to achieve even higher performance. We present analytical expressions for the angle-of-arrival power density function (PDF) and general analysis for time of arrival (expressed in terms of distance) respectively, for the channel
