A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system is an emerging research field which has attracted many studies in recent years. This type of radar, unlike conventional phased array radar, can transmit different probing signals via its antennas, that may be correlated or uncorrelated with each other. This waveform diversity offered by MIMO radar systems enable superior capabilities compared to conventional phased array radar. Many papers have introduced different ways for beamforming of MIMO radar. In this paper it is desirable to analysis some methods for beamforming of MIMO radars with planar arrays constellation and examine their 3D result beam-pattern of such constellations for... 

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system., unlike a standard phased array radar., can choose freely the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the power around the locations of the targets of interest., or more generally to approximate a given transmit beam-pattern., or to minimize the cross-correlation of the signals reflected back to the radar by the targets of interest. In this paper it will be shown that how these more degrees of freedom to choose freely between probing signals in a MIMO radar can help to have an omnidirectional beam-pattern for a side-lobe blanker system., and it will be shown that with utilizing MIMO radars for a side-lobe blanker system.,... 

A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system, unlike a conventional phased array radar, can choose freely the signals which transmitted via its antennas to maximize the power around the locations of the specific targets, or more generally to approximate a given transmit beampattern, and also to minimize the cross-correlation of the signals reflected back to the radar by the targets of interest. In this paper we use of phase-coded signals and show how the above desirable features of MIMO radars with some operational consideration can help us to have a desire beampattern. We suppose that for a collection of phase-coded signals, the elements of transmitted signals cross-correlation... 

In this era of digital communication systems, different factors are included in efficiency of a transceiver system. Binary PAM systems are one of these transceiver systems. Many aspects of such a system has been considered yet but this field needs more research on because this is the base of any communication system. In this paper, effects of transmitter and receiver filters, noise, duty-cycle and time mismatch between transmitter and receiver in a binary baseband PAM transceiver system is analyzed. Simulation is performed to analyze the above effects on a typical communication system with 10 bits of transmit. MATLAB software is being employed for simulations  

In a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar unlike conventional phased array radar, we can choose freely between the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the transmitted power around specific target locations or to approximate a desire beam-pattern in different manners that many papers have taken into consideration so far. In an operational radar or communication environment, one of the usual phenomenon that happens is multipath. In this paper we'd like to take this effect into consideration and show that how this effect can influence our beam-pattern in a covariance based MIMO radar beam-forming. We will show that multipath can change beam-pattern peak direction,... 

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar is a multiple aperture technology characterized by the ability to transmit diverse signals at each aperture. This is in contrast to traditional phased array radar whereby a single signals is transmitted with a phase shift applied at each element to enable steering of the transmit beampattern. The hybrid MIMO phased array radar (HMPAR) concept is an outgrowth of the monostatic MIMO construct, in which all sensors have the same view of the far field target which is known as colocated antenna. In the HMPAR, the full transmit array is partitioned into sub-arrays which can be electronically steered in different directions and driven by separate transmit... 

A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar is an emerging field which has attracted many researchers recently. In this type of radar, unlike an standard phased array radar, one can choose transmitted probing signals freely to maximize the power around the locations of the targets of interest, or more generally to approximate a given transmit beam-pattern, or to minimize the cross-correlation of the signals reflected back to the radar by the targets of interest. These signals can be correlated to each other or noncorrelated. Many papers have investigated beampattern design and waveforming in MIMO radars. One of the most famous approaches for beampattern design is named covariance based... 

Background: We developed transformer-based deep learning models based on natural language processing for early risk assessment of Alzheimer’s disease from the picture description test. Methods: The lack of large datasets poses the most important limitation for using complex models that do not require feature engineering. Transformer-based pre-trained deep language models have recently made a large leap in NLP research and application. These models are pre-trained on available large datasets to understand natural language texts appropriately, and are shown to subsequently perform well on classification tasks with small training sets. The overall classification model is a simple classifier on... 

Cardiovascular disease is one of the most rampant causes of death around the world and was deemed as a major illness in Middle and Old ages. Coronary artery disease, in particular, is a widespread cardiovascular malady entailing high mortality rates. Angiography is, more often than not, regarded as the best method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease; on the other hand, it is associated with high costs and major side effects. Much research has, therefore, been conducted using machine learning and data mining so as to seek alternative modalities. Accordingly, we herein propose a highly accurate hybrid method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. As a matter of fact, the... 

As benign tumors, warts are made through the mediation of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and may grow on all parts of body, especially hands and feet. There are several treatment methods for this illness. However, none of them can heal all patients. Consequently, physicians are looking for more effective and customized treatments for each patient. They are endeavoring to discover which treatments have better impacts on a particular patient. The aim of this study is to identify the appropriate treatment for two common types of warts (plantar and common) and to predict the responses of two of the best methods (immunotherapy and cryotherapy) to the treatment. As an original work, the study was...
