This paper presents a new approach to suppress interference between neighbouring radiating elements resulting from surface wave currents. The proposed technique will enable the realization of low-profile implementation of highly dense antenna configuratio... see more

 

Hieu Trong Dao and Sunghwan Kim

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has been viewed as an advanced technique in future 5G networks. Conventional massive MIMO systems consist of cellular base stations (BS) equipped with a very large number of antennas to simultaneously serve ma... see more

 

Pengshuai Cui, Peidong Zhu, Peng Xun and Chengcheng Shao

In this paper, a failure model of Cyber-Physical systems and an attack model are proposed. We divide the attacks into three kinds: simultaneous attack, sequential attack and composite attack. Through numerical simulations, we find that: (1) the sequential... see more

 

Ki-Hun Lee, Eun-Seong Kim, Jun-Ge Liang and Nam-Young Kim

In this study, the proposed bandpass filter (BPF) connects an interdigital and a spiral capacitor in series between the two symmetrical halves of a circular intertwined spiral inductor. For the mass production of devices and to achieve a higher accuracy a... see more

 

Luiz Da Rocha Farias, Lucas Felipe Monteiro, Murilo Oliveira Leme and Sergio Luiz Stevan, Jr.

This paper presents a performance analysis based on a practical approach of narrowband communication through power lines (Power Line Communication—PLC) to the last-mile industrial environment. A kit for developing PLC based applications, in accordan... see more

 

Zhimin Chen, Xinyi He, Zhenxin Cao, Yi Jin and Jingchao Li

The existing positioning methods for the automatic guided vehicle (AGV) in the port can not achieve high location precision, Therefore, a novel multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna radar positioning scheme is proposed in this paper. The positioni... see more
