The performance of adaptive algorithms, including direct data domain least square, can be significantly degraded in the presence of mutual coupling among array elements. In this paper, a new adaptive algorithm was proposed for the fast recovery of the signal with one snapshot of receiving signals in the presence of mutual coupling, based on the two-dimensional direct data domain least squares (...

A structured Least Square (LS) method for simultaneous estimation of the mutual coupling matrix (MCM) and direction of arrival (DOA) of signal source is proposed in this paper. Mutual coupling effects are modelled in the form of a complex Toeplitz matrix. The DOAs and MCM can be simultaneously estimated by the proposed method when the observations of at least two different DOAs are available. T...

An important challenge in communication industry is to reduce the total size of devices. Similarly array size reduction has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Placing elements of an antenna array close to each other is certainly one way to reduce the total size of an array antenna. However, one of the factor called mutual coupling depends on inter element separation and relative ori...

The electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are altered by intertube coupling whenever bundles are formed. These effects are examined experimentally by applying Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy to probe the optical transitions of given individual SWNTs in their isolated and bundled forms. The transition energies of SWNTs are observed to undergo redshifts of tens of meVs ...

A practical normal-mode helical antenna array together with a new method for the compensation of mutual coupling effect is proposed for the efficient adaptive nulling of interferences in a mobile communication environment. The helical antenna array is shown to be able to generate deeper nulls than an equivalent monopole antenna array in the presence of mutual coupling effect. The helical antenn...

We investigate the effects of heterogeneous delays in the coupling of two excitable neural systems. Depending upon the coupling strengths and the time delays in the mutual and self-coupling, the compound system exhibits different types of synchronized oscillations of variable period. We analyze this synchronization based on the interplay of the different time delays and support the numerical re...
