  • Beyond-application datasets and automated fair benchmarking
  • 2023
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Beyond-application perception datasets are generalised datasets that emphasise the fundamental components of good machine perception data. When analysing the history of perception datatsets, notable trends suggest that design of the dataset typically aligns with an application goal. Instead of focusing on a specific application, beyond-application datasets instead look at capturing high-quality, high-volume data from a highly kinematic environment, for the purpose of aiding algorithm development and testing in general. Algorithm benchmarking is a cornerstone of autonomous systems development, and allows developers to demonstrate their results in a comparative manner. However, most benchmarking systems allow developers to use their own hardware or select favourable data. There is also little focus on run time performance and consistency, with benchmarking systems instead showcasing algorithm accuracy. By combining both beyond-application dataset generation and methods for fair benchmarking, there is also the dilemma of how to provide the dataset to developers for this benchmarking, as the result of a high-volume, high-quality dataset generation is a significant increase in dataset size when compared to traditional perception datasets. This thesis presents the first results of attempting the creation of such a dataset. The dataset was built using a maritime platform, selected due to the highly dynamic environment presented on water. The design and initial testing of this platform is detailed, as well as as methods of sensor validation. Continuing, the thesis then presents a method of fair benchmarking, by utilising remote containerisation in a way that allows developers to present their software to the dataset, instead of having to first locally store a copy. To test this dataset and automatic online benchmarking, a number of reference algorithms were required for initial results. Three algorithms were built, using the data from three different sensors captured on the maritime platform. Each algorithm calculates vessel odometry, and the automatic benchmarking system was utilised to show the accuracy and run-time performance of these algorithms. It was found that the containerised approach alleviated data management concerns, prevented inflated accuracy results, and demonstrated precisely how computationally intensive each algorithm was.

  • Calculation of the Performance of Communication Systems from Measured Oscillator Phase Noise
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers. - 1549-8328 .- 1558-0806. ; 61:5, s. 1553-1565
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Oscillator phase noise (PN) is one of the major problems that affect the performance of communication systems. In this paper, a direct connection between oscillator measurements, in terms of measured single-side band PN spectrum, and the optimal communication system performance, in terms of the resulting error vector magnitude (EVM) due to PN, is mathematically derived and analyzed. First, a statistical model of the PN, considering the effect of white and colored noise sources, is derived. Then, we utilize this model to derive the modified Bayesian Cramer-Rao bound on PN estimation, and use it to find an EVM bound for the system performance. Based on our analysis, it is found that the influence from different noise regions strongly depends on the communication bandwidth, i.e., the symbol rate. For high symbol rate communication systems, cumulative PN that appears near carrier is of relatively low importance compared to the white PN far from carrier. Our results also show that 1/f^3 noise is more predictable compared to 1/f^2 noise and in a fair comparison it affects the performance less.

  • Modeling and Estimation of Phase Noise in Oscillators with Colored Noise Sources
  • 2013
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The continuous increase in demand for higher data rates due to applications with massive number of users motivates the design of faster and more spectrum efficient communication systems. In theory, the current communication systems must be able to operate close to Shannon capacity bounds. However, the real systems perform below capacity limits, mainly due to channel estimation error and hardware impairments that have been neglected by idealistic or simplistic assumptions on the imperfections. Oscillator phase noise is one of the hardware impairments that is becoming a limiting factor in high data rate digital communication systems. Phase noise severely limits the performance of systems that employ dense constellations. Moreover, the level of phase noise (at a given off-set frequency) increases with carrier frequency which means that the problem of phase noise may be even more severe in systems with high carrier frequency.The focus of this thesis is on finding accurate statistical models of phase noise, as well as the design of efficient algorithms to mitigate the effect of this phenomenon on the performance of modern communication systems. First we derive the statistics of phase noise with white and colored noise sources in free-running and phase-locked-loop-stabilized oscillators. We investigate the relation between real oscillator phase noise measurements and the performance of communication systems by means of the proposed model. Our findings can be used by hardware and frequency generator designers to better understand the effect of phase noise with different sources on the system performance and optimize their design criteria respectively. Then, we study the design of algorithms for estimation of phase noise with colored noise sources. A soft-input maximum a posteriori phase noise estimator and a modified soft-input extended Kalman smoother are proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithms is compared against that of those studied in the literature, in terms of mean square error of phase noise estimation, and symbol error rate of the considered communication system. The comparisons show that considerable performance gains can be achieved by designing estimators that employ correct knowledge of the phase noise statistics. The performance improvement is more significant in low-SNR or low-pilot density scenarios.

  • mm-Wave Data Transmission and Measurement Techniques: A Holistic Approach
  • 2019
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The ever-increasing demand on data services places unprecedented technical requirements on networks capacity. With wireless systems having significant roles in broadband delivery, innovative approaches to their development are imperative. By leveraging new spectral resources available at millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, future systems can utilize new signal structures and new system architectures in order to achieve long-term sustainable solutions. This thesis proposes the holistic development of efficient and cost-effective techniques and systems which make high-speed data transmission at mm-wave feasible. In this paradigm, system designs, signal processing, and measurement techniques work toward a single goal; to achieve satisfactory system level key performance indicators (KPIs). Two intimately-related objectives are simultaneously addressed: the realization of efficient mm-wave data transmission and the development of measurement techniques to enable and assist the design and evaluation of mm-wave circuits. The standard approach to increase spectral efficiency is to increase the modulation order at the cost of higher transmission power. To improve upon this, a signal structure called spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) is utilized. SEFDM adds an additional dimension of continuously tunable spectral efficiency enhancement. Two new variants of SEFDM are implemented and experimentally demonstrated, where both variants are shown to outperform standard signals. A low-cost low-complexity mm-wave transmitter architecture is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A simple phase retarder predistorter and a frequency multiplier are utilized to successfully generate spectrally efficient mm-wave signals while simultaneously mitigating various issues found in conventional mm-wave systems. A measurement technique to characterize circuits and components under antenna array mutual coupling effects is proposed and demonstrated. With minimal setup requirement, the technique effectively and conveniently maps prescribed transmission scenarios to the measurement environment and offers evaluations of the components in terms of relevant KPIs in addition to conventional metrics. Finally, a technique to estimate transmission and reflection coefficients is proposed and demonstrated. In one variant, the technique enables the coefficients to be estimated using wideband modulated signals, suitable for implementation in measurements performed under real usage scenarios. In another variant, the technique enhances the precision of noisy S-parameter measurements, suitable for characterizations of wideband mm-wave components.

  • Protecting GNSS Open Service-Navigation Message Authentication against Distance-Decreasing Attacks
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • As the security of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) for civilian usage is increasingly important, navigation message authentication (NMA) significantly improves resilience to spoofing attacks. However, not all attacks can be effectively countered: a strong variant of replay/relay attacks, distance-decreasing (DD) attacks, can shorten pseudorange measurements, without manipulating the cryptographically protected navigation message, thus manipulating the position, velocity, and time solution undetected. First, we discuss how DD attacks can tamper with GNSS signals, demonstrating the attack effectiveness on a recorded Galileo signal. DD attacks might introduce bit errors to the forged signals, but the adversary can keep this error rate very low with proper attack parameter settings. Then, based on our mathematical model of the prompt correlator output of the tracking phase at the victim receiver, we find that the correlator output distribution changes in the presence of DD attacks. This leads us to apply hypothesis testing to detect DD attacks, notably a Goodness of Fit (GoF) test and a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), depending on the victim’s knowledge on the DD attacks. Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the detection probability and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for two tests, for different adversary configuration and noise settings. Then, we evaluate the effectiveness of the GoF and GLRT tests with a synthesized DD signal. Both tests can detect DD attacks with similar performance in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. The GLRT detection probability is approximately 20% higher than that of the GoF test in low SNR environments.

  • 2017
  • Ingår i: SenSys 2017 - Proceedings of the 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. - 9781450354592
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The sensing capabilities of most sensor networks are fixed at the time of deployment. Adding new sensing capabilities to such networks is a costly and cumbersome process. We present Passive Sensor Tags, battery-free sensing devices that could be used to extend the sensing capabilities of an existing network. Sensor tags feature our new 802.15.4 receiver design which is suitable for micro-power operation, making battery-free tags possible. Because our tags can both transmit and receive 802.15.4 frames there is no need for any modification to the deployed hardware. We present preliminary measurements of transmission and reception range.

  • VCSEL Equivalent Circuits and Silicon Photonics Integration
  • 2022
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a light source of great importance for numerous industrial and consumer products. The main application areas are datacom and sensing. The datacom industry uses GaAs-based VCSELs for optical interconnects, the short-reach fiber optical communication links used to transfer large amounts of data at high rates between units within data centers and supercomputers. In the area of sensing, VCSELs are largely used in consumer products such as smart phones (e.g. face ID and camera auto focus), computer mice, and automobiles (e.g. gesture recognition and LIDAR for autonomous driving). In this work, an advanced physics-based equivalent circuit model for datacom VCSELs has been developed. The model lends itself to co-design and co-optimization with driver and receiver ICs, thereby enabling higher data rate transceivers with bandwidth limited VCSELs and photodiodes. The model also facilitates an understanding of how each physical process within the VCSEL affects the VCSEL static and dynamic performance. It has been applied to study the impact of carrier transport and capture on VCSEL dynamics. The work also includes micro-transfer-printing of GaAs-based single-mode VCSELs on silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Such PICs are increasingly used for e.g. compact and highly functional bio-photonic sensors. Transfer printing of VCSELs enables the much-needed on-PIC integration of power efficient light sources. The bottom-emitting VCSELs are printed above grating couplers on the PIC and optical feedback is used to control the polarization for efficient coupling to the silicon nitride waveguide. Wavelength tuning, as required by the bio-sensing application, is achieved by direct current modulation.

  • From Noise-Shaped Coding to Energy Efficiency - One bit at the time
  • 2011
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Three parameters that drive the research and development of future RF transmitter technologies for high speed wireless communication today are energy efficiency, flexibility and reduction of the physical footprint. This thesis treats the use of single-bit quantization in conjunction with a method called Noise-Shaped Coding (NSC), as an enabler for these parameters, foremost in terms of energy efficiency.The first part of the thesis provides a short introduction to the common Radio Frequency Power Amplifier (RFPA) power efficiency enhancement techniques. The pulsed RF transmitter is introduced in which the RFPA is used as a switch, modulated by a single-bit quantized signal which allows it to operate solely at its two most efficient states.The second part of the thesis provides an introduction to the concept of NSC and the underlying idea of how high signal quality can be achieved with one bit quantization of the signal amplitude. A particular method of implementing NSC, namely the ΣΔ-modulator, is introduced and some common methods for design and analysis are discussed. An optimization-based approach to ΣΔ-modulator design is proposed and benchmarked against conventional methods in terms of its ability to shape the power spectral density of the quantization noise according to a given reconstruction filter response, minimizing the reconstructed error metric.The third and final part of the thesis focuses specifically on the application of ΣΔ-modulation in a pulsed RF transmitter context. The concepts of band-pass and baseband ΣΔ-modulation are introduced. A few important challenges related to the use of ΣΔ-modulation in a pulsed RF-transmitter context are identified. A ΣΔ-modulator topology which handles a complex input signal is investigated in great detail and advantages compared to conventional methods for using ΣΔ-modulation are unveiled by means of theoretical analysis and simulations. A method for suppressing the quantization noise within a frequency band surrounding the modulated RF carrier, enabling the use of more wideband reconstruction filter and moderate pulse-rates, is also presented. A detailed theoretical analysis reveals how optimized Noise-Shaped Coding, as provided by the optimization method introduced in the second part, can be deployed in order to improve the system performance. Finally, the method is validated by experimental measurements on two different high efficiency RFPAs at 1 and 3.5 GHz respectively, showing promising results.

  • 2017
  • Ingår i: 2017 12th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC). - 9782874870484 ; 2017-January
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper demonstrates a wideband, subharmonic down converting mixer using a commercial 130-nm SiGe-BiCMOS technology. The mixer adopts a frequency doubling LO-stage, a differential switched-transconductance RF-stage, on-chip LO and RF baluns, and two emitter-follower buffer-stages. The measured results exhibit a maximum conversion gain up to 2.6 dB over the frequency range of 100 to 140 GHz with a LO power of 5 dBm. The mixer achieves an input referred 1-dB compression point of −7.2 dBm, with a DC power of 46.3 mW, including 26.7 mW for buffer-stages. It demonstrates also up to 12 GHz 3-dB IF bandwidth, which to the authors' best knowledge, is the highest obtained among active sub-harmonic mixers operating above 100 GHz. The chip occupies 0.4 mm2, including pads.

    • During the Antarctica expedition CHAQ2020, several cultural heritage sites – remains from the Swedish South Polar Expedition (1901–1903) – were documented using a range of different techniques and technologies. These physical monuments and environments are for all intents and purposes unavailable for most researchers due to their remote location and are also threatened by the effects of climate change. Hence, the deployed documentation techniques and technologies were selected both as a consequence of the inherently difficult conditions in Antarctica, where their reliance, durability, and speed were key considerations, but also for their perceived ability to document the unique and fragile environment. The documentation was carried out with the double intention of both allowing for observations in situ through processes of analytical drawings and data capture, but also capturing the environment as broadly and deeply as possible, in essence making a copy of it open for studies of unknown unknowns, that could serve as a source material for research questions still undefined. Hence, with the documentation of the winter station on Snow Hill Island as a case study, and with a perspective on documentation as a method through which to process, preserve, and disseminate information, this article serves to critically detail, compare, and evaluate the digital techniques and technologies that the expedition deployed to capture architectural elements and spatial contexts, and the data that could be obtained through these.

  • Evaluation of surface EMG-based recognition algorithms for decoding hand movements
  • 2019

    • Myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) to decode limb movements is an important advancement regarding the control of powered prostheses. However, this technology is not yet in wide clinical use. Improvements in MPR could potentially increase the functionality of powered prostheses. To this purpose, offline accuracy and processing time were measured over 44 features using six classifiers with the aim of determining new configurations of features and classifiers to improve the accuracy and response time of prosthetics control. An efficient feature set (FS: waveform length, correlation coefficient, Hjorth Parameters) was found to improve the motion recognition accuracy. Using the proposed FS significantly increased the performance of linear discriminant analysis, K-nearest neighbor, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and support vector machine by 5.5%, 5.7%, 6.3%, and 6.2%, respectively, when compared with the Hudgins’ set. Using the FS with MLE provided the largest improvement in offline accuracy over the Hudgins feature set, with minimal effect on the processing time. Among the 44 features tested, logarithmic root mean square and normalized logarithmic energy yielded the highest recognition rates (above 95%). We anticipate that this work will contribute to the development of more accurate surface EMG-based motor decoding systems for the control prosthetic hands. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

    • Första delen behandlar Microchips "Base-line"-kretsar och andra delen behandlar "Midrange"-kretsarna. De flesta funktioner belyses med konstruktionsexempel. Exempel och övningar är mycket hårdvarunära och boken behandlar konstruktion av mikrodatorer från grunden. Boken är avsedd för kurser i mikrodatorteknik på högskolan eller annan högre teknisk utbildning, men kan även användas som självstudiematerial eftersom de flesta exempel ges med detaljerade och verifierade lösningar av såväl hård- som mjukvaran. Tidigare erfarenhet av assemblerprogrammering är inte nödvändig men grundläggande kunskaper i digitalteknik förutsätts. Boken kan med fördel också läsas av rutinerade assemblerprogrammerare som vill veta hur prestanda hos de nya RISC-baserade PIC-controllerna står sig i konkurrensen med de mer etablerade enchipscontrollerna, t ex HC11 och 8751, som bygger på traditionell CISC-arkitektur.

  • Battery Loss and Stress Mitigation in a Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter for Vehicle Traction Applications by Filter Capacitors
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification. - 2332-7782. ; 5:3, s. 659-671
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In this paper, two types of filter capacitors of varying capacity, were connected to the battery packs of a cascaded H-Bridge single-star multilevel vehicle traction inverter, and their influence on the battery losses has been analyzed. The battery and capacitor simulation models used are experimentally verified in a down-scaled system. Different capacitor configurations were simulated for four drive cycle scenarios to determine the potentials for the mitigation of current pulse stresses and battery loss reduction with respect to the added weight. By adding capacitors corresponding to a weight of 4% of the initial battery storage, the peak current is reduced by 5%-20%, depending on the operating point from DC to a few kHz, and the battery losses are reduced by 10%. In comparison, it is demonstrated that adding supercapacitors is more beneficial for lower output frequencies, while adding electrolytic capacitors is better for higher output frequencies. Furthermore, the low-order voltage harmonics of the DC-rails between the converter and battery were reduced by 10%-30% for frequencies above 9 kHz, which decreases the potential of electromagnetic disturbances. In addition, during cold battery temperatures, when it is very important to avoid heavy cyclings, the loss reduction using the capacitors was 2.5 times larger than for nominal temperature.

  • Fault Detection and Localization for Limp Home Functionality of Three-Level NPC Inverters with Connected Neutral Point for Electric Vehicles
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification. - 2332-7782. ; 5:2, s. 416-432
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper deals with the detection of single battery or inverter switch faults during operation of a common and an active three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter with a connected neutral point. Here, the main focus lies on the detection and localization of open-circuit faults of the inverter's switches. Therefore, a fault detection algorithm, using a current estimator, and two fault localization algorithms, a pulse pattern injection principle and an online adaption of the space vector modulation (SVM), are investigated and verified through simulations and experiments. Also, investigated is how the powertrain can be operated under a fault condition, so that the vehicle can drive with a limited maximum power using an adapted SVM, referred to as "limp home" mode, to the next service station. It is shown, that an active NPC inverter can cope with any single short or open-circuit fault of the inverter's switches without bringing the vehicle to standstill, whereas a generic NPC inverter loses controllability if an open-circuit fault at an inner switch occurs. Furthermore, both inverter types are able to be operated just with half of the dc-link voltage in case of a failure in one part of the battery.

  • Measuring and Separating Conducted Three-Wire Emissions from a Fault-Tolerant, NPC Propulsion Inverter with a Split-Battery Using Hardware Separators Based on HF Transformers
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. - 0885-8993 .- 1941-0107. ; 36:1, s. 378-390
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Conducted emissions on the traction battery's power cables in EVs must be limited to avoid unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI). When designing an EMI filter, it is advantageous to have information of the common mode (CM) and differential mode (DM) noise levels. This article deals with the measurement and separation of the dc side's three-wire DM/CM noise of a fault-tolerant three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter with a split-battery system. Two hardware separators, based on small-circuit highfrequency transformers, were developed to identify the dc side's CM, line-DM, and phase-DM noise levels. Their characterized CM and DM rejection ratios for the frequency range from 150 kHz to 110 MHz are at least -33 and -21 dB, respectively. The separated noise of the NPC inverter was measured, using an inductive load, when operating the inverter with three-level and two-level modulation, resembling normal operation and a possible operation under fault, respectively. A simple three-wire CM model of the used testbed and the DM power module oscillation were derived to validate the separated noise's resonance peaks/valleys. It has been seen that the CM noise is dominant, especially below 10 MHz, except for the power module oscillations. Furthermore, when using the two-level modulation, in the case of a clamping diode fault, the noise levels are increased by about 3 dB.

  • Modular Battery Systems for Electric Vehicles based on Multilevel Inverter Topologies - Opportunities and Challenges
  • 2021
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Modular battery systems based on multilevel inverter (MLI) topologies can possibly overcome some shortcomings of two-level inverters when used for vehicle propulsion. The results presented in this thesis aim to point out the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the technical challenges, of modular vehicle battery systems based on MLIs in comparison to a conventional, two-level IGBT inverter drivetrain. The considered key aspects for this comparative investigation are the drive cycle efficiency, the inverter cost, the fault tolerance capability of the drivetrain and the conducted electromagnetic emissions. Extensive experiments have been performed to support the results and conclusions. In this work, it is shown that the simulated drive cycle efficiency of different low-voltage-MOSFET-based, cascaded seven-level inverter types is improved in comparison to a similarly rated, two-level IGBT inverter drivetrain. For example, the simulated WLTP drive cycle efficiency of a cascaded double-H-bridge (CDHB) inverter drivetrain in comparison to a two-level IGBT inverter, when used in a small passenger car, is increased from 94.24% to 95.04%, considering the inverter and the ohmic battery losses. In contrast, the obtained efficiency of a similar rated seven-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) drivetrain is almost equal to that of the two-level inverter drivetrain, but with the help of a hybrid modulation technique, utilizing fundamental selective harmonic elimination at lower speeds, it could be improved to 94.85%. In addition, the CDHB and CHB inverters’ cost, in comparison to the two-level inverter, is reduced from 342€ to 202€ and 121€, respectively. Furthermore, based on a simple three-level inverter with a dual battery pack, it is shown that MLIs inherently allow for a fault tolerant operation. It is explained how the drivetrain of a neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter can be operated under a fault condition, so that the vehicle can drive with a limited maximum power to the next service station, referred to as limp home mode. Especially, the detection and localization of open circuit faults has been investigated and verified through simulations and experiments. Moreover, it is explained how to measure the conducted emissions of an NPC inverter with a dual battery pack according to the governing standard, CISPR 25, because the additional neutral point connection forms a peculiar three-wire DC source. To separate the measured noise spectra into CM, line-DM and phase-DMquantities, two hardware separators based on HF transformers are developed and utilized. It is shown that the CM noise is dominant. Furthermore, the CM noise is reduced by 3dB to 6dB when operating the inverter with three-level instead of two-level modulation.

  • Ingår i: IECON Proceedings (Industrial Electronics Conference). - 2162-4704 .- 2577-1647. ; 2020-October, s. 1884-1891
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper shows two approaches to determine the battery impedance of battery cells or battery modules when used in a reconfigurable battery system (RBS) or in any type of modular multilevel converter (MMC) for electric drive applications. A generic battery model is used and the concepts of the recursive time and frequency-domain parameter extraction, using a current step and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, are explained. Thus, it is shown and demonstrated that the balancing current of neighboring cells/modules ,when in parallel operation, can be used, similar to the time-domain parameter extraction utilizing a current step, to determine the battery parameters. Furthermore, it is shown and demonstrated that a part of the inverter can be used as variable AC voltage source to control a sinusoidal current through the motor inductances of the drive train, which can be injected to the inserted battery cells/modules of an adjacent phase to perform an on-board impedance spectroscopy. Using either of the two presented approaches, the individual battery impedances can be easily determined, yielding the state of health (SOH) and the power capability of individual battery cells/modules. Nonetheless, the analyzed approaches were just considered to be applied at machine standstill, which is not suitable for grid-tied applications.

    • We propose a silicon on-Chip-in-Package antenna design featuring a simulated radiation efficiency of > 70% and an S11 matching better than −10 dB in the 112–125 GHz frequency range. High radiation performance is achieved by: (i) thinning the silicon substrate down to 100 μm through wafer-level grinding; (ii) embedding the IC in-between two PCBs, one of which forms an electromagnetic bandgap structure that attenuates the EM leakage inside the silicon substrate. Furthermore, since the die-embedding concept employs the gap-waveguide packaging technology, a universal contactless waveguide interconnect is realized between the IC and the radiating gap waveguide in the package. This will also enable modular antenna designs.

    • This paper presents the structure and control of a single phase Exponential Modular Multilevel Converter (EMMC), which works as a bidirectional AC/DC converter. In addition to the main H-bridge converter, it uses series connected H-bridges with DC link capacitors. The nominal voltage rating of the capacitors is increased with each module by factor of two. In this manner, the number of output voltage levels exponentially increases with the number of series connected H-bridges. By using low-voltage MOSFETs it is possible to achieve a very high efficiency, especially at partial loading. The high number of voltage levels reduces the output voltage THD, while using a low switching frequency. Thus, the required grid filter size can be substantially reduced. Furthermore, the additional capacitor modules increase the nominal output voltage at the AC side, so that the flow of the active and reactive power can be dynamically adjusted. Therefore, the EMMC could be used, for instance, as a vehicle charger directly connected to the grid.

    • Reduction of inertia in electricity networks due to high penetration level of renewable energy sources will require wind turbines to participate in frequency regulation via Active Power Control. The performance of frequency regulation and protection system depends strongly on the performance of network frequency estimation. Fast frequency variations and uncertainties associated with unknown harmonics and measurement noise in the network signals are the main obstacles to performance improvement of frequency estimation with classical zero crossing method, which is widely used in industry. The same uncertainties introduce challenges in model based frequency estimation. These challenges are addressed in this paper within the framework of multiple model with harmonic regressor. Additional challenges associated with computational complexity of matrix inversion algorithms and accuracy of inversion of ill-conditioned matrices in the multiple model are also discussed in the paper. New high order algorithms with reduced computational complexity are presented. Instability mechanism is discovered in Newton-Schulz and Neumann matrix inversion techniques in finite precision implementation environment. A new stepwise splitting method is proposed for elimination of instability and for performance improvement of matrix inversion algorithms in the multiple model. All the results are confirmed by simulations.

  • Battery Modeling and Parameter Extraction for Drive Cycle Loss Evaluation of a Modular Battery System for Vehicles Based on a Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter

    • This article deals with the modeling and the parameterization of the battery packs used in cascaded H-bridge multilevel propulsion inverters. Since the battery packs are intermittently conducting the motor currents, the battery cells are stressed with a dynamic current containing a substantial amount of low-order harmonic components up to a couple of kHz, which is a major difference in comparison to a traditional two-level inverter drive. Different models, such as pure resistive and dynamic RC -networks, are considered to model the energy losses for different operating points (OPs) and driving cycles. Using a small-scale setup, the models’ parameters are extracted using both a low-frequency, pulsed current, and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sweep. The models are compared against measurements conducted on the small-scale setup at different OPs. Additionally, a drive cycle loss comparison is simulated. The simple resistive model overestimates the losses by about 20% and is, thus, not suitable. The dynamic three-time-constant model, parameterized by a pulsed current, complies with the measurements for all analyzed OPs, especially at low speed, with a maximum deviation of 3.8%. Extracting the parameters using an EIS seems suitable for higher speeds, though the losses for the chosen OPs are underestimated by 1.5%–7.9%.

    • This paper deals with the modeling and parameterization of LiFeP04batteries when used in cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter drive systems. Since the battery packs are intermittently conducting the motor currents, the battery cells are stressed with a dynamic current waveform containing a substantial amount of low order harmonic components in the range of a couple of kHz. Different battery models like a pure resistive or different RC networks are considered, to determine the battery losses. Measurements of the voltage drop for a pulsed current of variable frequency and magnitude are done to be able to determine the model parameters. The models are then verified against measurements on a battery pack placed in a small scale multilevel inverter operated at 6 different operating point that are representative for the operation of an electrified vehicle. It is shown that the dynamic model agrees very well with the measurements for all operating points analyzed with a maximum deviation of 4 %. The results are also compared with the commonly used resistive model which overestimates the losses with typically around 20 % for the evaluated points. Simulations of 4 full drive cycles are performed where it is stated that the resistive model always shows about 20 % more losses compared to the 3 time constant model.

    • In the Electronic Warfare receivers, it is important to know the type of modulation of the intercepted Radar signals (MOP modulation on pulse). This information can be very helpful in identifying the type of Radar present and to take the appropriate actions against it. In this paper, a new signal processing method is presented to identify the FM (Frequency Modulation) pattern from the received Radar pulses. The proposed processing method based on Auto Regressive Spectrum Modelling used for digital modulation classification [1]. This model uses the instantaneous frequency and instantaneous bandwidth as obtained from the roots of the autoregressive polynomial. The instantaneous frequency and instantaneous bandwidth together were used to identify the type of modulation in the Radar pulse. Another feature derived from the instantaneous frequency is the frequency rate of change. The frequency rate of change was used to extract the pattern of the frequency change. Results show that this method works properly even for low signal to noise ratios.

    • The millimeter-wave band offers large bandwidth and promises high data rates for wireless communication systems. This work proposes a millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber architecture suitable for wideband mm-wave communication, using a lowpass sigma-delta modulation approach. The central unit generates baseband sigma-delta bitstreams, in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) components, which are transported to a remote radio head (RRH) using a standard QSFP28 optical interconnect link connection. In the RRH, the baseband I/Q signals are upconverted to the millimeter-wave band, amplified, and transmitted through an antenna. The performance of the resulting sigma-delta-over-fiber transmitter architecture is experimentally verified at 28 GHz, demonstrating a state-of-the-art symbol rate up to 1.5 Gsym/s. Furthermore, in over-the-air measurements, the architecture is shown to support 1 Gsym/s with 5.9% error vector magnitude for 64/256/1024 quadrature amplitude modulation cases over a 5 m wireless distance. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture for the realization of wideband millimeterwave distributed antenna systems.

  • Aperiodic Array Synthesis for Telecommunications
  • 2017
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Arrays of antennas offer important advantages over single-element antennas and are thus a key part of most advanced communication systems. The majority of current arrays are based on a classical regular layout, which offer simple design criteria despite some limitations. Aperiodic arrays can reduce the number of elements and improve the performance, however their design is far more challenging. This thesis focuses on the synthesis of aperiodic arrays, advancing the state-of-the-art of phased arrays and pioneering the application to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems.In satellite communications (SATCOM), aperiodic sparse arrays have the potential for drastically reducing the costs of massive antennas. Most available synthesis methods are however either intractable, suboptimal or limited for such demanding scenarios. We propose a deterministic and efficient approach based on Compressive Sensing, capable of accounting for electromagnetic phenomena and complex specifications. Some of the key contributions include the extension to the design of multi-beam, modular, multi-element, reconfigurable and isophoric architectures.The same approach is successfully applied to the design of compact arrays for Point-to-Point (PtP) backhauling. The aperiodicity is used here instead to reduce the side lobes and meet the target radiation envelope with high aperture efficiency. A dense, column arranged, slotted waveguide isophoric array has been successfully designed, manufactured and measured.Line-of-Sight (LoS) MIMO can multiply the data rates of classical Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) backhauling systems, however it suffers from limited installation flexibility. We demonstrate how aperiodic arrays and their switched extensions can instead overcome this shortcoming. Since a small number of antennas are typically used, an exhaustive search is adopted for the synthesis.Massive Multi-User (MU) MIMO is envisioned as a key technology for future 5G systems. Despite the prevailing understanding, we show how the MIMO performance is affected by the array layout. To exploit this, we propose a new hybrid statistical-density tapered synthesis approach. Results show a significant improvement in minimum power budget, capacity and amplifier efficiency, especially for massive and/or crowded systems

    • This brief presents a novel digital predistortion (DPD) parameter identification technique that requires only the acquisition of either the in-phase (I) or the quadrature (Q) component of the power amplifier (PA) output signal. To this end, an approach that allows us to estimate the parameters of a model using only one of the IQ components of the model output is presented. Based on experimental results, it is shown that the proposed real-valued measurements based technique can offer similar linearization capabilities as its complex-valued counterparts. The experimental results also indicate that the proposed technique can be used in combination with other techniques that focus on reducing the speed of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)

Performance of the 16QAM transmitter and receiver is evaluated in a loop-back lab set-up. With the proposed 10 Gbps on single carrier system architecture, it is possible to achieve 40 Gbps over a 5 GHz bandwidth when combined with polarization and spatial multiplexing.

  • Aspects of Power Allocation in Massive MIMO
  • 2016
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The past decades have seen a rapid growth of mobile data trac, both in terms of connected devices and data rate. To satisfy the ever growing data trac demand in wireless communication systems, the current cellular systems have to be redesigned to increase both spectral eciency and energy eciency. Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) is one solution that satisfy both requirements. In massive MIMO systems, hundreds of antennas are employed at the base station to provide service to many users at the same time and frequency. This enables the system to serve the users with uniformly good quality of service simultaneously, with low-cost hardware and without using extra bandwidth and energy. To achieve this, proper resource allocation is needed. Among the available resources, transmit power is one of the most important degree of freedom to control the spectral eciency and energy eciency. Due to the use of excessive number of antennas and low-end hardware at the base station, new aspects of power allocation compared to current systems arises. In the rst part of the thesis, a new uplink power allocation schemes that based on long term channel statistics is proposed. Since quality of the channel estimates is crucial in massive MIMO, in addition to data power allocation, joint power allocation that includes the pilot power as additional variable should be considered. Therefore a new framework for power allocation that matches practical systems is developed, as the methods developed in the literature cannot be applied directly to massive MIMO systems. Simulation results conrm the advantages brought by the the proposed new framework. In the second part of the thesis, we investigate the eects of using low-end ampliers at the base stations. The non-linear behavior of power consumption in these ampliers changes the power consumption model at the base station, thereby changes the power allocation. Two dierent scenarios are investigated and both results show that a certain number of antennas can be turned o in low load scenarios.

    • Considering a single-antenna M-user interference channel with symmetrically distributed channel gains, when the channel state information (CSI) is globally available, applying the ergodic interference alignment scheme, each transmitter-receiver pair achieves a rate proportional to ½ of a single user's interference-free achievable rate. This is substantially higher than the achievable rate of the conventional orthogonal transmission schemes such as TDMA. Since the rigid requirement on the CSI may be difficult to realize in practice, in this paper we investigate the performance of applying the ergodic interference alignment scheme when the estimation of each channel gain is made globally known through exploiting only a limited feedback signal from the associated receiver of that channel. Under a block fading environment, we provide a lower bound on the achievable average throughput of the network. Our results imply that the better performance of interference alignment over TDMA may still exist even without the assumption of perfect CSI. Also, the trade off between allocating feedback rate of each receiver to the desired channel or the interference channels at deferent SNR region investigated.

  • Wireless Sensor Network Systems in Harsh Environments and Antenna Measurement Techniques
  • 2014
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Wireless sensor network (WSN) has become a hot topic lately. By using WSN things that previously were difficult or impossible to measure has now become available. One of the main reasons using WSN for monitoring is to save money by cost optimization and/or increase safety by letting the user knowing the physical status of the monitored structure. This thesis considers four main topics, empirical testing of WSN in harsh environments, antenna designs, antenna measurements and radio environment emulation.The WSN has been tested in train environment for monitoring of ball bearings and inside jet engines to monitor strain of blades and temperatures. In total, two investigations have been performed aboard the train wagon and one in the jet engine. The trials have been successful and provide knowledge of the difficulties with practical WSN applications. The key issues for WSN are robust communication, energy management (including scavenging) and physical robustness.For the applications of WSN in harsh environments antennas has to be designed. In the thesis, two antennas has been designed, one for train environment and one for the receiver in the jet engine. In the train environment, a more isotropic radiation pattern is preferable; hence a small dual layered patch antenna is designed. The antenna is at the limit of being electrically small; hence slightly lower radiation efficiency is measured. For the WSN in the jet engine, a directive patch array is designed on an ultra-thin and flexible substrate. The thin substrate of the antenna causes rather lower radiation efficiency. But the antenna fulfils the requirements of being conformal and directive.In reverberation chambers are used to measure antennas, but there are difficulties to provide a realistic radio environment, for example outdoor or on-body. In this thesis, a large reverberation chamber is designed and verified. It enables measurement between 400 MHz and 3 GHz. Also, a sample selection method is designed to provide a post processing possibilities to emulate the radio environment inside the chamber. The method is to select samples from a data set that corresponds to a desired probability density function. The method presented in this thesis is extremely fast but the implementation of the method is left for future research.

  • Pulse-Width Modulated RF Transmitters
  • 2017
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The market for wireless portable devices has grown signicantly over the recent years.Wireless devices with ever-increased functionality require high rate data transmissionand reduced costs. High data rate is achieved through communication standards such asLTE and WLAN, which generate signals with high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR),hence requiring a power amplier (PA) that can handle a large dynamic range signal. Tokeep the costs low, modern CMOS processes allow the integration of the digital, analogand radio functions on to a single chip. However, the design of PAs with large dynamicrange and high eciency is challenging due to the low voltage headroom.To prolong the battery life, the PAs have to be power-ecient as they consume a sizablepercentage of the total power. For LTE and WLAN, traditional transmitters operatethe PA at back-o power, below their peak efficiency, whereas pulse-width modulation(PWM) transmitters use the PA at their peak power, resulting in a higher efficiency.PWM transmitters can use both linear and SMPAs where the latter are more power efficient and easy to implement in nanometer CMOS. The PWM transmitters have a higher efficiency but suffer from image and aliasing distortion, resulting in a lower dynamic range,amplitude and phase resolution.This thesis studies several new transmitter architectures to improve the dynamicrange, amplitude and phase resolution of PWM transmitters with relaxed filtering requirements.The architectures are suited for fully integrated CMOS solutions, in particular forportable applications.The first transmitter (MAF-PWMT) eliminates aliasing and image distortions whileallowing the use of SMPAs by combining RF-PWM and band-limited PWM. The transmittercan be implemented using all-digital techniques and exhibits an improved linearity and spectral performance. The approach is validated using a Class-D PA based transmitter where an improvement of 10.2 dB in the dynamic range compared to a PWM transmitter for a 1.4 MHz of LTE signal is achieved.The second transmitter (AC-PWMT) compensates for aliasing distortion by combining PWM and outphasing. It can be used with switch-mode PAs (SMPAs) or linear PAs at peak power. The proposed transmitter shows better linearity, improved spectral performanceand increased dynamic range as it does not suffer from AM-AM distortion of the PAs and aliasing distortion due to digital PWM. The idea is validated using push-pull PAs and the proposed transmitter shows an improvement of 9 dB in the dynamic rangeas compared to a PWM transmitter using digital pulse-width modulation for a 1.4 MHzLTE signal.The third transmitter (MD-PWMT) is an all-digital implementation of the second transmitter. The PWM is implemented using a Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) core, and outphasing is implemented as pulse-position modulation using FPGA transceivers, which drive two class-D PAs. The digital implementation offers the exibility to adapt the transmitter for multi-standard and multi-band signals. From the measurement results, an improvement of 5 dB in the dynamic range is observed as compared to an all-digital PWM transmitter for a 1.4 MHz LTE signal.The fourth transmitter (EP-PWMT) improves the phase linearity of an all-digital PWM transmitter using PWM and asymmetric outphasing. The transmitter uses PWM to encode the amplitude, and outphasing for enhanced phase control thus doubling the phase resolution. The measurement setup uses Class-D PAs to amplify a 1.4 MHz LTEup-link signal. An improvement of 2.8 dB in the adjacent channel leakage ratio is observed whereas the EVM is reduced by 3.3 % as compared to an all-digital PWM transmitter.The fifth transmitter (CRF-ML-PWMT) combines multilevel and RF-PWM, whereas the sixth transmitter (CRF-MP-PMWT) combines multiphase PWM and RF-PWM. Both transmitters have smaller chip area as compared to the conventional multiphase and multilevel PWM transmitters, as a combiner is not required. The proposed transmitters also show better dynamic range and improved amplitude resolution as compared to conventional RF-PWM transmitters.The solutions presented in this thesis aims to enhance the performance and simplify the digital implementation of PWM-based RF transmitters.

    • The main focus of the work presented in this thesis concerns the development and improvement of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as well as Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WSN consist of interlinked, wireless devices (nodes) capable of relaying data wirelessly between the nodes. The applications of WSNs are very broad and cover both wireless fitness monitoring systems such as pulse watches or wireless temperature monitoring of buildings, among others.The topics investigated in the work presented within this thesis covers antenna design, wireless propagation environment evaluation and modeling, adaptive antenna control and wireless nodes system design and evaluation. In order to provide an end-user suitable solution for wireless nodes the devices require both small form factor and good performance in order to be competitive on the marked and thus the main part of this thesis focuses on techniques developed and data collected to help achieve these goals. Several different prototype systems have been developed which have been used to measure data by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI), GKN Aerospace Sweden AB, the Swedish Transport Administration. The system developed with GKN Aerospace was used to do real-time test measurements inside a running RM12 jet engine and required a substantial amount of measurements, environmental modeling and system validation in order to properly design a wireless system suitable for the harsh and fast fading environment inside a jet engine. For FOI improvements were made on a wearable wireless body area network initially developed during the authors master thesis work. Refinements included work on new generation wireless nodes, antenna packaging and node-supported diversity techniques.Work and papers regarding the design of different types of antennas suitable for wireless nodes are presented. The primary constraints on the presented antennas are the limited electrical size. The types of antennas developed include electrically small helix antennas manufactured both on stretchable substrates consisting of a PDMS substrate with Galinstan as the liquid metal conductors, screen printed silver ink for helix antennas and conformal dual patch antennas for wireless sensor nodes. Other standard type antennas are included on the wireless sensors as well.

    • In this paper, we propose a scheme optimizing the per-user channel sensing duration in millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems. For each user, the BS predicts the effective rate to be achieved after pilot transmission. Then, the channel sensing duration of each user is optimized by ending the pilot transmission when the predicted rate is lower than the current rate. The robust regularized zero-forcing (RRZF) precoder and equal power allocation (EPA) are adopted to transmit sensing pilots and data. Numerical results show that the more severe the interference among users, the longer channel sensing duration is required. Moreover, the proposed scheme results in a higher sum rate compared to benchmark schemes.

  • Over the air calibration of transmitter distortion for active antenna arrays
  • 2024
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Radar systems for air surveillance have long utilised large antenna arrays to generate high enough gain for a narrow enough transmitted beam. In most modern systems this is accomplished through the use of large active electronically steered antenna arrays. Calibrating a large active antenna array is a challenging endeavour. Distorting effects stemming from the amplifying circuitry can have a non-negligible effect on the transmitted signal, and the effects can vary across the array. In modern and future transmitter arrays, individually controlled antenna elements will be a feature. With such systems, distortion that varies over an array can be combatted. One challenge is how to collect data about what signal is being transmitted and in what way the actual signal differs from the desired transmitted signal. The work presented in this thesis studies aspects of characterising a model describing the distortion generated in an active antenna array using an over the air channel. Specifically, the first included article presents a method where signals collected using an over the air channel generated by targets of opportunity are used to estimate the parameters of a non-linearly parametrised model for a radar transmitter. In this article, the radar is assumed to transmit different signals on each antenna element. The second included article studies conditions for identifiability for the setup in the first article as well as for other similar setups. These works constitute the second part of this thesis. To put this work into context, the first part of this thesis presents an overview of the problems caused by distortion in a radar system. This is investigated under different modelling assumptions and for radars operating in a number of different modes.

    • Remote control and monitoring systems provide many useful operating advantages in industrial automation and demand highly reliable and secure communication means. Their widespread use is, however, limited because of the high cost of current communications in use making them economically infeasible. Hence, there is a need to develop new low cost communication and control concepts by making such solutions economically feasible. In this paper, we present a scheme for implementing reliable wireless communication links for application of remote control and monitoring system based on current available commercial wireless communication networks, e.g. GPRS/EDGE/UMTS. The reliability enhancement over wireless networks has been proposed and its performance has been studied. This paper examines the proposed solution by means of both analytical and numerical evaluation, and has shown that the demanded reliability performance can be met by using only commercial wireless communication networks.

  • High-End Performance with Low-End Hardware : Analysis of Massive MIMO Base Station Transceivers

    • Massive MIMO (multiple-input–multiple-output) is a multi-antenna technology for cellular wireless communication, where the base station uses a large number of individually controllable antennas to multiplex users spatially.  This technology can provide a high spectral efficiency.  One of its main challenges is the immense hardware complexity and cost of all the radio chains in the base station.  To make massive MIMO commercially viable, inexpensive, low-complexity hardware with low linearity has to be used, which inherently leads to more signal distortion.  This thesis investigates how the degenerated linearity of some of the main components—power amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and low-noise amplifiers—affects the performance of the system, with respect to data rate, power consumption and out-of-band radiation. The main results are: Spatial processing can reduce PAR (peak-to-average ratio) of the transmit signals in the downlink to as low as 0B; this, however, does not necessarily reduce power consumption.  In environments with isotropic fading, one-bit ADCs lead to a reduction in effective signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) of 4dB in the uplink and four-bit ADCs give a performance close to that of an unquantized system.  An analytical expression for the radiation pattern of the distortion from nonlinear power amplifiers is derived.  It shows how the distortion is beamformed to some extent, that its gain never is greater than that of the desired signal, and that the gain of the distortion is reduced with a higher number of served users and a higher number of channel taps.  Nonlinear low-noise amplifiers give rise to distortion that partly combines coherently and limits the possible SINR.  It is concluded that spatial processing with a large number of antennas reduces the impact of hardware distortion in most cases.  As long as proper attention is paid to the few sources of coherent distortion, the hardware complexity can be reduced in massive MIMO base stations to overcome the hardware challenge and make massive MIMO commercial reality.

    • An ultra-low power wake-up radio receiver using no oscillators is described. The radio utilizes an envelope detector followed by a baseband amplifier and is fabricated in a 130-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. The receiver is preceded by a passive radio-frequency voltage transformer, also providing 50 Omega antenna matching, fabricated as transmission lines on the FR4 chip carrier. A sensitivity of -47 dBm with 200 kb/s on-off keying modulation is measured at a current consumption of 2.3 mu A from a 1 V supply. No trimming is used. The receiver accepts a dBm continuous wave blocking signal, or modulated blockers 6 dB below the sensitivity limit, with no loss of sensitivity.

  • Bridging the Terahertz Gap : Photonics-assisted Free-Space Communications from the Submillimeter-Wave to the Mid-Infrared
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.. - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 40:10, s. 3149-3162

    • Since about one and half centuries ago, at the dawn of modern communications, the radio and the optics have been two separate electromagnetic spectrum regions to carry data. Differentiated by their generation/detection methods and propagation properties, the two paths have evolved almost independently until today. The optical technologies dominate the long-distance and high-speed terrestrial wireline communications through fiber-optic telecom systems, whereas the radio technologies have mainly dominated the short- to medium-range wireless scenarios. Now, these two separate counterparts are both facing a sign of saturation in their respective roadmap horizons, particularly in the segment of free-space communications. The optical technologies are extending into the mid-wave and long-wave infrared (MWIR and LWIR) regimes to achieve better propagation performance through the dynamic atmospheric channels. Radio technologies strive for higher frequencies like the millimeter-wave (MMW) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) to gain broader bandwidth. The boundary between the two is becoming blurred and intercrossed. During the past few years, we witnessed technological breakthroughs in free-space transmission supporting very high data rates, many achieved with the assistance of photonics. This paper focuses on such photonics-assisted free-space communication technologies in both the lower and upper sides of the THz gap and provides a detailed review of recent research and development activities on some of the key enabling technologies. Our recent experimental demonstrations of high-speed free-space transmissions in both frequency regions are also presented as examples to show the system requirements for device characteristics and digital signal processing (DSP) performance.

    • The performance evaluation of wireless systems is crucial for the development of future systems with more connected devices. It is essential to have an easy and relevant method for ensuring the wireless communication performance of the devices. We have recently developed a new random line-of-sight (random-LOS) measurement system for evaluating the communication performance of wireless devices, e.g., transceivers and antennas installed on a vehicle. In the measurement system, a plane wave is generated in the test zone emulating the far-field wave transmitted from a radio base station. In this paper we present both numerical simulations and actual experimental results of the random-LOS over-the-air (OTA) measurement setup operating in the 1.5-3 GHz band. The measurement accuracy is determined by the field variations within the test zone, where a smaller variation gives better measurement accuracy. In this paper the achieved accuracy expressed in terms of standard deviation (STD) was evaluated to be approximately 1 dB of the power within a cylindrical test zone of height 0.4 m and diameter 2 m. The active multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) performance of antenna systems installed on an actual vehicle was measured and evaluated using the presented setup. A comparison to a theoretical zero forcing (ZF) receiver is also presented.

  • Average Throughput in AWGN Cognitive Fading Interference Channel with Multiple Secondary Pairs
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2012 7th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications, CROWNCOM 2012. - : IEEE Computer Society. - 2166-5370. - 9781936968558 - 9781467329767 ; , s. 158-162
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We consider the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) cognitive fading interference channel consisting of one primary and multiple secondary transmitter-receiver pairs. The secondary transmitters have non-causal knowledge of the primary message. We find a tuple of achievable rates by utilizing the discrete superposition model (DSM), which is a simplified, deterministic channel model. The coding scheme devised for the DSM can be translated into a coding scheme for the AWGN model, where the rate achieved in the AWGN model is at most a constant gap below the rate achieved in the DSM. We then calculate the average throughput of the secondary pairs under the assumption of Rayleigh fading channels. The main result is that our scheme performs well in the weak interference regime. The sum-throughput increases with the number of secondary pairs.

  • Photonic GHz to THz tunable signal generation by chirped-pulse mixing
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: 2006 European ISIS Workshop, Emerging Optical Broadband Technologies, Boppard am Rhein, Germany, May 29 - June 1, 2006.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Frequency-tunable generation of pulsed tones in the millimeter to sub-millimeter range was demonstrated by mixing of two chromatically dispersing femtosecond laser pulses split up in time by an adjustable differential group delay (DGD) and a polarizer. The signal frequency was set by adjusting the amount of DGD and the amount of dispersion, and was here tuned from below 1 GHz to 0.9 THz. Time-domain measurements were conducted using a sampling oscilloscope for the lower frequencies and an auto-correlator for the higher frequencies. Near 100% modulation depth was obtained, and the signal phase was very stable, being locked to the pulses from the femtosecond laser. The line-width of the mm-wave waveform was found to be transform-limited if the signal chirp induced by higher order dispersion was compensated for. Suggested applications for this system are for instance THz spectroscopy, characterization of high performance photo-diodes and real-time dispersion measurements.

  • On the Degrees of Freedom of Parallel Relay Networks

  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We study the degrees of freedom (DOF) of a single-antenna M-user time-varying parallel relay network, where the communications between M pairs of unconnected sources and destinations are provided by a large number of half-duplex decode-and-forward (DF) relays. Unlike the conventional relaying strategy which demands all the relays to simultaneously assist the sources, we divide the relays into two clusters and permit them to take turns forwarding the source messages. With appropriate interference alignment design, it is proved that the M-user time-varying relay network has M DOF, provided that the number of relays is infinitely large.

  • Data-driven Performance Prediction and Resource Allocation for Cloud Services
  • 2016
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Cloud services, which provide online entertainment, enterprise resource management, tax filing, etc., are becoming essential for consumers, businesses, and governments. The key functionalities of such services are provided by backend systems in data centers. This thesis focuses on three fundamental problems related to management of backend systems. We address these problems using data-driven approaches: triggering dynamic allocation by changes in the environment, obtaining configuration parameters from measurements, and learning from observations. The first problem relates to resource allocation for large clouds with potentially hundreds of thousands of machines and services. We developed and evaluated a generic gossip protocol for distributed resource allocation. Extensive simulation studies suggest that the quality of the allocation is independent of the system size for the management objectives considered.The second problem focuses on performance modeling of a distributed key-value store, and we study specifically the Spotify backend for streaming music. We developed analytical models for system capacity under different data allocation policies and for response time distribution. We evaluated the models by comparing model predictions with measurements from our lab testbed and from the Spotify operational environment. We found the prediction error to be below 12% for all investigated scenarios.The third problem relates to real-time prediction of service metrics, which we address through statistical learning. Service metrics are learned from observing device and network statistics. We performed experiments on a server cluster running video streaming and key-value store services. We showed that feature set reduction significantly improves the prediction accuracy, while simultaneously reducing model computation time. Finally, we designed and implemented a real-time analytics engine, which produces model predictions through online learning.

  • A Gap Waveguide-Based D-Band Slot Array Antenna with Interdigital Feed Network
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. - 0018-926X .- 1558-2221. ; 71:9, s. 7124-7131
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This work presents a high gain D-band slot array antenna with a corporate-fed distribution network designed by the gap waveguide. The gap waveguide technology is employed for overcoming the challenge of appropriate electrical contact related to the mechanical assemblage of the antenna feed network and the radiation layer. The antenna includes 24×16 slots and the basis of the antenna interdigital feeding network includes the ridge and groove gap waveguides. A standard WR-6 waveguide flange at the bottom is used to excite the presented antenna. To understand the fabrication challenges and tolerance issues around 140GHz, an antenna prototype was made by standard CNC milling techniques. The results show that an impedance bandwidth of 5.5% (141.8-149.8 GHz), efficiency higher than 78%, and a peak gain of 33.8 dBi are achieved for the proposed 24×16-element array antenna. According to the results, the presented planar array is a good option for D-band applications and can be used as the building block to develop high efficiency and high gain upper mm-wave antennas.

    • A slot array antenna with dual-circular polarisation (CP) is presented in this paper. To overcome the fabrication and loss challenges in mm-wave frequencies, the gap waveguide technique is utilised. The right and left hand circular polarisation (RHCP and LHCP) radiations are achieved using slots-fed stepped septum polariser on the longitudinal slot arrays. The waveguides and feeding layer are based on ridge gap waveguide. The experimental results demonstrate the |S-11| and axial ratio of proposed antenna array are lower than -10 and 2 dB, respectively over the frequency range of 29.1-31.7 GHz. The proposed antenna exhibits the measured peak gain of 27.2 dBic at 30.2 GHz. The results prove that the proposed array antenna is a brilliant choice for 30 GHz-band applications and could be developed to realise larger dual-polarised planar arrays.

  • CMOS Data Converters for Closed-Loop mmWave Transmitters
  • 2020
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • With the increased amount of data consumed in mobile communication systems, new solutions for the infrastructure are needed. Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is seen as a key enabler for providing this increased capacity. With the use of a large number of transmitters, the cost of each transmitter must be low. Closed-loop transmitters, featuring high-speed data converters is a promising option for achieving this reduced unit cost. In this thesis, both digital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital (A/D) converters suitable for wideband operation in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO transmitters are demonstrated. A 2×6 bit radio frequency digital-to-analog converter (RF-DAC)-based in-phase quadrature (IQ) modulator is demonstrated as a compact building block, that to a large extent realizes the transmit path in a closed-loop mmWave transmitter. The evaluation of an successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is also presented in this thesis. Methods for connecting simulated and measured performance has been studied in order to achieve a better understanding about the alternating comparator topology. These contributions show great potential for enabling closed-loop mmWave transmitters for massive MIMO transmitter realizations.
