| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the fundamentals of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) radio communication systems with space-time codes. A MIMO system was design using the Alamouti space-time code. The modulation technique was binary phase-shift keying (BPSK). Matlab with Simulink was used to simulate the design, which was tested in both an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and in a multipath fading channel with AWGN. Theoretical performance was derived for both channels and compared to simulated results. The original receiver design was changed to incorporate a maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) receiving technique with channel state information (CSI). The theoretical performance for this design was determined and compared to simulated and published results. | en_US |

Cooperative Control of Multiple Space Manipulators
(1994);This paper concerns the cooperative control of multiple manipulators attached to the same base as they reposition a common payload. The theory is easily applied to inertially based problems as well as space based free-floating ... -

Implementation of a multiple robot frontier-based exploration system as a testbed for battlefield reconnaissance support
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-06-01);Future military battlefields will see smaller forces responsible for ever increasing geographical areas. In addition, future conflicts will occur more often in urban or built-up areas. Both of these trends argue for some ...
