The purpose of this monograph is to introduce up-to-date capacity theorems for the two-user Gaussian interference channel, including both single-antenna and multiple-antenna cases. The monograph starts with the single antenna case and introduces the Han and Kobayashi achievable rate region and its various subregions. Several capacity outer bounds are then presented; these outer bounds, together...

Algebraic number theory is having an increasing impact in code design for many different coding applications, such as single antenna fading channels and more recently, MIMO systems. Extended work has been done on single antenna fading channels, and algebraic lattice codes have been proven to be an effective tool. The general framework has been settled in the last ten years and many explicit cod...

a newly designed printed slot antenna is presented that incorporates variable two band-notched functions for ultra-wideband (uwb) applications. the two band notches of this coplanar waveguide (cpw) fed antenna are achieved by an m-shaped slot (mss) embedded in the radiating element and a c-shaped strip(css) close to ground plane, therefore two very narrow rejected properties in the wireless loc...

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...

Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...

It is well known that the simple theory of helicon waves, in which the electron mass me is neglected, is valid only if Ez also vanishes, a condition which is not satisfied in experiment. Exact solutions of cold plasma theory with finite me and Ez predict the existence of additional highly damped Trivelpiece–Gould ~TG! modes ~H-TG theory!, which can greatly modify the nature of helicon discharge...

We present in this work a comprehensive theory of antenna near fields in two parts, highlighting in particular the engineering perspective. Part I starts by providing a general conceptual framework for the more detailed spectral theory to be developed in Part II. The present paper proceeds by proposing a general spatial description for the electromagnetic field in the antenna exterior region ba...

Electromagnetic models based on antenna theory have been recently applied in lightning studies. Their practical use is facilitated by existing thin-wire antenna numerical codes that utilize localized voltage sources. Such voltage sources have to be tuned to provide the lightning channel-base current for which experimental data are available. This involves some preparatory steps, such as the det...

We investigate the constrained capacity of multiple-antenna fading coherent channels, where the receiver knows the channel state but the transmitter knows only the channel distribution, driven by arbitrary equiprobable discrete inputs in a regime of high signal-to-noise ratio (snr). In particular, we capitalize on intersections between information theory and estimation theory to conceive expans...
