To proposing a voting model for groups with members of unequal power and proficiency, we present some models for rank ordering efficient candidates, by extending the ideas of some authors. Then, we propose a new methodology to rank the ranking models for the performance indices of only DEA efficient candidates based on a classical voting model. Also, an approach for combining the results obtain...

This paper concerns power allocation in relay-assisted wireless channels for two-hop transmission. First, the transmitter sends the information to both the relay and receiver parts. Next, in the second hop, the transmitter cooperates with the relay to increase the received signal to noise ratio (SNR), assuming the relay makes use of the Amplify and Forward (AF) strategy. Moreover, it is assumed...

The ideal electric laser efficiently converts electrical power into optical power in the form of a beam that can propagate a long distance with minimal diffraction-limited spreading. Various laser applications require scaling to high power (kWs to MWs) while maintaining a diffrac-tion-limited beam; thus, many efforts have been directed toward that goal. The main impediment to this high-power sc...

In this article, we study the multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless power transfer (WPT) system so as to enhance output DC of rectennas. To that end, revisit rectenna nonlinearity considering multiple receive antennas. Two combining schemes for rectennas at receiver, RF combinings, are modeled analyzed. For combining, optimize transmit beamforming, adaptive channel state informatio...

In this paper we analyze the beam combining and atmospheric propagation of high-power lasers for directed-energy (DE) applications. The large linewidths inherent in high-power fiber, and to a lesser extent, slab lasers cause random phase and intensity fluctuations occurring on subnanosecond time scales. To coherently combine these high-power lasers would involve instruments capable of precise p...
