Impedance-matching networks affect power transfer from the radio frequency (RF) chains to the antennas. Their design impacts the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the achievable rate. In this paper, we maximize the information-theoretic achievable rate of a multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system with wideband matching constraints. Using a multiport circuit theory approach with frequency-selective scattering parameters, we propose a general framework for optimizing the MISO achievable rate that incorporates Bode-Fano wideband matching theory. We express the solution to the achievable rate optimization problem in terms of the optimized transmission coefficient and the Lagrangian parameters corresponding to the Bode-Fano inequality constraints. We apply this framework to a single electric Chu’s antenna and an array of dipole antennas. We compare the optimized achievable rate obtained numerically with other benchmarks like the ideal achievable rate computed by disregarding matching constraints and the achievable rate obtained by using sub-optimal matching strategies like conjugate matching and frequency-flat transmission. We also propose a practical methodology to approximate the achievable rate bound by using the optimal transmission coefficient to derive a physically realizable matching network through the ADS software.

Achievable Rate of a SISO System Under Wideband Matching Network Constraints
Conventional achievable rate analysis using Shan- non’s theory does not assume practical constraints imposed by Bode-Fano wideband matching theory. This leads to an achiev- able rate bound that cannot be attained by practical matching networks. In this paper, we generalize the information-theoretic achievable rate of a single-input-single-output (SISO) system by incorporating wideband matching constraints at the transmitter. We express the solution to the achievable rate optimization problem in terms of the optimized transmission coefficient and the Lagrangian parameters corresponding to the Bode-Fano inequality constraints. We also propose a practical strategy to design a physically realizable matching network through the ADS software which attains the achievable rate bound with near- optimality. In simulations, we apply this framework to a Chu’s antenna and compare the achievable rate performance with the conventional conjugate matching strategy.

null (Ed.)Using ideas from Chu and Bode/Fano theories, we characterize the maximum achievable rate over the single-input single-output wireless communication channels under a restriction on the antenna size at the receiver. By employing circuit-theoretic multiport models for radio communication systems, we derive the information-theoretic limits of compact antennas. We first describe an equivalent Chu’s antenna circuit under the physical realizability conditions of its reflection coefficient. Such a design allows us to subsequently compute the achievable rate for a given receive antenna size thereby providing a physical bound on the system performance that we compare to the standard size-unconstrained Shannon capacity. We also determine the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which strongly depends on the antenna size and experiences an apparent finite-size performance degradation where only a fraction of Shannon capacity can be achieved. We further determine the optimal signaling bandwidth which shows that impedance matching is essential in both narrowband and broadband scenarios. We also examine the achievable rate in presence of interference showing that the size constraint is immaterial in interference-limited scenarios. Finally, our numerical results of the derived achievable rate as function of the antenna size and the SNR reveal new insights for the physically consistent design of radio systems.more » « less

Horstein, Burnashev, Shayevitz and Feder, Naghshvar et al . and others have studied sequential transmission of a k-bit message over the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with full, noiseless feedback using posterior matching. Yang et al . provide an improved lower bound on the achievable rate using martingale analysis that relies on the small-enough difference (SED) partitioning introduced by Naghshvar et al . SED requires a relatively complex encoder and decoder. To reduce complexity, this paper replaces SED with relaxed constraints that admit the small enough absolute difference (SEAD) partitioning rule. The main analytical results show that achievable-rate bounds higher than those found by Yang et al . [2] are possible even under the new constraints, which are less restrictive than SED. The new analysis does not use martingale theory for the confirmation phase and applies a surrogate channel technique to tighten the results. An initial systematic transmission further increases the achievable rate bound. The simplified encoder associated with SEAD has a complexity below order O ( K 2 ) and allows simulations for message sizes of at least 1000 bits. For example, simulations achieve 99% of of the channel’s 0.50-bit capacity with an average block size of 200 bits for a target codeword error rate of 10 -3.more » « less

null (Ed.)We introduce a mutual information based optimization for a two-port multiple-input single-output (MISO) antenna system. We develop a complete circuit-level analysis of a compact MISO system in the wideband regime. We design a physically realizable antenna array and study the impact of mutual coupling on the spectral efficiency. Then, we maximize the system's mutual information by optimizing the beamformer under two different power constraints, namely the total dissipated power and the available power of the amplifiers. By varying the inter-element antenna spacing, we present results for the achievable spectral efficiency under different power amplifier constraints.more » « less

Bode integrals of sensitivity and sensitivity-like functions along with complementary sensitivity and complementary sensitivity-like functions are conventionally used for describing performance limitations of a feedback control system. In this paper, we show that in the case when the disturbance is a wide sense stationary process the (complementary) sensitivity Bode integral and the (complementary) sensitivity-like Bode integral are identical. A lower bound of the continuous-time complementary sensitivity-like Bode integral is also derived and examined with the linearized flight-path angle tracking control problem of an F-16 aircraft.more » « less
