This document discusses a subarray multiple-input multiple-output (SMIMO) radar system that combines advantages of phased array radars and MIMO radars. The SMIMO radar divides the transmit and receive antenna arrays into overlapping or non-overlapping subarrays that can vary in the number of elements. This provides flexibility to adapt the radar configuration based on detection needs. The performance of the SMIMO radar is analyzed based on factors like the virtual array size, maximum detectable targets, angle resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and detection probability. Simulation results show the SMIMO radar outperforms other radar types in these areas due to its adaptive subarray approach.
MIMO radar is introduced in presentation ,its advantage .future scope,research area.
MIMO radars represent a new generation of radars. In contrast to the traditional phased-array radar in which the transmit elements can transmit only the scaled versions of same signal, a MIMO radar allows the transmitters to transmit multiple signals. This waveform diversity offers enhanced flexibility in transmit beampattern synthesis which is an important area of MIMO radar signal processing

Index modulation is one of the promising techniques for future communications systems due to many improvement over the classical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems such as single RF chain, increased throughput for the same modulation order, achieved tradeoff between the efficiencies of the power and the spectral, and elimination of inter-channel interference. Many forms of index modulation researches exist where symbols are conveyed in antennas, subcarriers, time slots, and the space-time matrix. Spatial modulation is one member of index modulation family where symbols are conveyed in activating transmit/receive antennas. In this paper, a modification to a standard multiple input single output scheme by integrating spatial modulation using simplified mathematical procedure is achieved. In the transmitter side, data and activation symbols are distributed simultaneously using mathematical module and floor functions. At the receiver, a simplified maximum likelihood detector is used to obtain transmitted pair of symbols. To verify this, MATLAB simulink is used to simulate a downlink system where spatial modulation is applied to a base station. Results for different transmit antenna number and modulation order are obtained in the form of bit error rate versus signal to noise ratio.

Beamspace channel estimation mechanism for massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) antenna
system presents a major process to compensate the 5G spectrum challenges caused by the proliferation of
information from mobile devices. However, this estimation is required to ensure the perfect channel state
information (CSI) for lower amount of Radio Frequency (RF) chains for each beam. In addition, phase
shifter (PS) components used in this estimation need high power to select the beam in the desired direction.
To overcome these limitations, in this work, we propose Regular Scanning Support Detection (RSSD)
based channel estimation mechanism. Moreover, we utilise a 3D lens antenna array having metallic plate
and a switch in our model which compensates the limitation of phase shifters. Simulation results show that
the proposed RSSD based channel estimation surpasses traditional technique and SD based channel
estimation even in lower SNR area which is highly desirable in the millimeter wave (mmWave) massive
MIMO systems.

Abstract- Conventional monostatic single-input single-output (SISO) radar transmits an electro-magnetic (EM) wave from the transmitter. The properties of this wave are altered while reflecting from the surfaces of the targets towards the receiver. The altered properties of the wave enable estimation of unknown target parameters like range, Doppler, and attenuation. However, such systems offer limited degrees of freedom. Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems use arrays of transmitting and receiving antennas like phased array radars but while a phased array transmits highly correlated signals which form a beam, MIMO antennas transmit signals from a diverse set and independence between the signals is exploited

In this paper, we obtain the left-handed circularly polarized (LHCP) and right-handed circularly polarized (RHCP) of triangular array eight patches antennas using corporate feeding-line for circularly polarized-synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR) sensor embedded on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with compact, simple, and efficient configuration. Although the corporate feeding-line design has already been developed, its design was for the side antenna view of 0° and only produced one of LHCP or RHCP instead of both. Here, the design for LHCP and RHCP eight patches array fed by corporate feeding-line having the side antenna view of 36° at f=1.25 GHz for CP-SAR are discussed. We use the 2016 version of computer simulation technology (CST) to realize the method of moments (MoM) for analyzing. The performance results, especially for gain and axial ratio (Ar) at resonant frequency are consecutively 13.46 dBic and 1.99 dB both of LHCP and RHCP. Moreover, the 12-dBic gain-bandwidth and the 3-dB Ar-bandwidth of them are consecutively around 38 MHz (3.04%) and 6 MHz (0.48%). Furthermore, the two-beams appeared at boresight in elevation plane for average beamwidth of 12 dBic-gain and the 3 dB-Ar LHCP and RHCP have similar values of around 12° and 46°, respectively.

A broadband MIMO antenna's channel capacity for WLAN and WiMAX applicationsIJICTJOURNAL
This paper describes the findings of a research into the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel capacity of a broadband dual-element printed inverted F-antenna (PIFA) antenna array. The dual-element antenna array is made up of two PIFAs that are meant to fit on a teeny-tiny and small wireless communication device that runs at 5 GHz. The device's frequency range is between 3.5 and 4.5 GHz. These PIFAs are also loaded into the device during the installation process. In order to investigate the channel capacity, the ray tracing method is employed in two different kinds of circumstances. For the purpose of carrying out this analysis of the channel capacity, both the simulated and measured mutual couplings of the broadband MIMO antenna are utilized.
Channel Estimation Scheme for the Enhanced Reliability in the Flying Ad-hoc N...IJERA Editor
This paper proposes the improved channel estimation for flying ad-hoc network (FANET). The FANET means the wireless communication network between the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). UAVs have unlimited availability not only in war but in various fields such as reconnaissance, observation, exploration. Due to the high-mobility of the UAVs, these channels of the FANET environment are very dynamic and time varying channel. Because the FANET for UAV transfers data such as the information on mission accomplishment, collision prevention, etc., the FANET requires the robust and spectral efficient communication scheme in the fading channel. IEEE 802.11p is considered as a communication method between UAVs. However, IEEE 802.11p suffers from the challenge of robust channel estimation due to rapid time-varying nature of the channel. In the IEEE 802.11p, the long training symbols are used for fine synchronization and channel estimation. This channel estimation scheme isn’t suitable in the time varying channel. This paper proposes the scheme that uses the pilot symbols and recovered symbols to estimate channel. The proposed scheme can provide the reliable wireless communication for the FANET

The most critical parameters that indicate the Wi-Fi network are throughput, delay, latency, and packet loss since they provide significant benefits, especially to the end-user. This research aims to investigate Wi-Fi performance in an indoor environment for light-of-sight (LOS) and nonlight-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. The effect of the surrounding obstacles and distance has also been reported in the paper. The parameters measured are packet loss, the packet sent, the packet received, throughput, and latency. Site measurement is done to obtain real-time and optimum results. The measured parameters are then validated using the EMCO ping monitor 8 software. The comparison results between the measurement and the simulation are well presented in this paper. Additionally, the measurement distance is done up to 30 meters and the results are reported in the paper as well. The results indicate that the throughput value decreases with an increasing distance, where the lowest throughput value is 24.64 Mbps and the highest throughput value is 70.83 Mbps. Next, the maximum latency value from the measurement is 79 ms, while the lowest latency value is 56.09 ms. Finally, this research verified that obstacles and distances are among the contributing factors affecting the throughput and latency performance of the Wi-Fi network.
Statistical analysis of an orographic rainfall for eight north-east region of...IJICTJOURNAL
Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models are used to predict the rain rate for orographic rainfall over a long period of time, from 1980 to 1918. As the orographic rainfall may cause landslides and other natural disaster issues, So, this study is very important for the analysis of rainfall prediction. In this research, statistical calculations have been done based on the rainfall data for twelve regions of India (Cherrapunji, Darjeling, Dawki, Ghum, Itanagar, Kamchenjunga, Mizoram, Nagaland, Pakyong, Saser Kangri, Slot Kangri, and Tripura) from the eight states, i.e., Sikkim, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Ladakh (Union Territory of India), Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Tripura, and Nagaland) with varying altitude. The model's output is assessed using several error calculations. The model's performance is represented by the fit value, which is reliable for the northeast region of India with increasing altitude. The statistical dependability of the rainfall prediction is shown by the parameters. The lowest value of root mean square error (RMSE) indicates better prediction for orographic rainfall.

Satellite dish antenna control for distributed mobile telemedicine nodesIJICTJOURNAL
The positioning control of a dish antenna mounted on distributed mobile telemedicine nodes (DMTNs) within Nigeria communicating via NigComSat-1R has been presented. It was desired to improve the transient and steady performance of satellite dish antenna and reduce the effect of delay during satellite communication. In order to overcome this, the equations describing the dynamics of the antenna positioning system were obtained and transformed into state space variable equations. A full state feedback controller was developed with forward path gain and an observer. The proposed controller was introduced into the closed loop of the dish antenna positioning control system. The system was subjected to unit step forcing function in MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment considering three different cases so as to obtain time domain parameters that characterized the transient and steady state response performances. The simulation results obtained revealed that the introduction of the full state feedback controller provided improved position tracking to unit step input with a rise time of 0.42 s, settling time of 1.22 s and overshoot of 4.91%. With the addition of observer, the rise time achieved was 0.39 s, settling time of 1.31 s, and overshoot of 10.7%. The time domain performance comparison of the proposed system with existing systems revealed its superiority over them.
High accuracy sensor nodes for a peat swamp forest fire detection using ESP32...IJICTJOURNAL
The use of smoke sensors in high-precision and low-cost forest fire detection kits needs to be developed immediately to assist the authorities in monitoring forest fires especially in remote areas more efficiently and systematically. The implementation of automatic reclosing operation allows the fire detector kit to distinguish between real smoke and non-real smoke successfully. This has profitably reduced kit errors when detecting fires and in turn prevent the users from receiving incorrect messages. However, using a smoke sensor with automatic reclosing operation has not been able to optimize the accuracy of identifying the actual smoke due to the working sensor node situation is difficult to predict and sometimes unexpected such as the source of smoke received. Thus, to further improve the accuracy when detecting the presence of smoke, the system is equipped with two digital cameras that can capture and send pictures of fire smoke to the users. The system gives the users choice of three interesting options if they want the camera to capture and send pictures to them, namely request, smoke trigger and movement for security purposes. In all cases, users can request the system to send pictures at any time. The system equipped with this camera shows the accuracy of smoke detection by confirming the actual smoke that has been detected through images sent in the user’s Telegram channel and on the graphical user interface (GUI) display. As a comparison of the system before and after using this camera, it was found that the system that uses the camera gives advantage to the users in monitoring fire smoke more effectively and accurately.

In this time of a global urgency where people are losing lives each day in a large number, people are trying to develop ways/technology to solve the challenges of COVID-19. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been employed previously as well to the times of pandemic where they have proven their worth by providing reliable results in varied fields this is why ML tools are being used extensively to fight this pandemic as well. This review describes the applications of ML in the post and pre COVID-19 conditions for contact tracing, vaccine development, prediction and diagnosis, risk management, and outbreak predictions to help the healthcare system to work efficiently. This review discusses the ongoing research on the pandemic virus where various ML models have been employed to a certain data set to produce outputs that can be used for risk or outbreak prediction of virus in the population, vaccine development, and contact tracing. Thus, the significance and the contribution of ML against COVID-19 are self-explanatory but what should not be compromised is the quality and accuracy based on which solutions/methods/policies adopted or produced from this analysis which will be implied in the real world to real people.

Most OED systems use textual similarities for this purpose. Similar documents, that may indicate a potential event, are further strengthened by the replies made by other users, thereby improving the potentiality of the group. However, these documents are at times unusable as independent documents, as they may replace previously appeared noun phrases with pronouns, leading OED systems to fail while grouping these replies to their suitable clusters. In this paper, a pronoun resolution system that tries to replace pronouns with relevant nouns over social media data is proposed. Results show significant improvement in performance using the proposed system.
Performance analysis on self organization based clustering scheme for FANETs ...IJICTJOURNAL
With the fast-increasing development of wireless communication networks, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has emerged as a flying platform for wireless communication with efficient coverage, capacity, reliability, and its network is called flying ad-hoc network (FANET); which keeps changing its topology due to its dynamic nature, causing inefficient communication, and therefore needs cluster formation. In this paper, we proposed a cluster formation, selection of cluster head and its members, connectivity and transmission with the base station using the K-means algorithm, and choice of an optimized path for transmission using firefly optimization algorithm for efficient communication. Evaluation of performance with experimental results are obtained and compared using the K-means algorithm and firefly optimization algorithm in cluster building time, cluster lifetime, energy consumption, and probability of delivery success. On comparison of firefly optimization algorithm with firefly optimization algorithm, i.e., K-means algorithm results proved than without firefly optimization algorithm, better in terms of cluster building time, energy consumption, cluster lifetime, and also the probability of delivery success.
A persuasive agent architecture for behavior change interventionIJICTJOURNAL
A persuasive agent makes use of persuasion attributions to ensure that its predefined objective(s) is achieved within its immediate environment. This is made possible based on the five unique features namely sociable, persuasive, autonomy, reactive, and proactive natures. However, there are limited successes recorded within the behavioural intervention and psychological reactance is responsible for these failures. Psychological reactance is the stage where rejection, negative response and frustration are felt by the users of the persuasive system. Thus, this study proposes a persuasive agent (PAT) architecture that limits the experience of psychological reactance to achieve an improved behavioural intervention. PAT architecture adopted the combination of the reactance model for behavior change and the persuasive design principle. The architecture is evaluated by conducting an experimental study using a user-centred approach. The evaluation reflected that there is a reduction in the number of users who experienced psychological reactance from 70 per cent to 3 per cent. The result is a better improvement compared with previous outcomes. The contribution made in this study would provide a design model and a steplike approach to software designers on how to limit the effect of psychological reactance on persuasive system applications and interventions.

Just after the invention of electricity by Michael Faraday, there has been a revolution in the communication technology, which lead to the invention of radio, television, radar, satellite, and mobile. While these machines transformed our life high quality, safer and simpler, they have been associated with alarming probable health hazards owing to their electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emission. Couple of cases it has been reported by personals regarding various health related issues relating to exposure on electromagnetic field (EMF) and EMR. Although couple of persons showed light symptoms and respond by avoiding the electrical field (EF) and EMR fields as much as possible, some others are so much affected that they have changed their entire lifestyle. In this paper, empirical survey study has been carried out in the laboratories of Daffodil International University (DIU) main and permanent campus. It was found that some of the instrument had higher EMFs. The findings from this survey may be helpful for the students to take precautionary measurement who work for long duration in the various laboratories for their practical classes and for the users of the domestic appliances as well as office equipment and industrial instruments.

An internet of things-based irrigation and tank monitoring systemIJICTJOURNAL
Agriculture plays a significant role in the development of a nation and provides the main source of food production, income, and employment to nations. It was the most practiced occupation in Nigeria and this formed the backbone of the economy in the early 1960s before the discovery of crude oil, which has led to the derail of sufficient food production, exportation, and the agricultural economy at large. Over time, the dry season has always been challenging with little or no rainfall and there are no irrigation facilities that incorporate different saving practices to adapt to these climate changes on their own. In this paper, a cost-effective internet of things irrigation system that is capable of reducing water wastage, manual labor, monitoring tank water level and that can be controlled remotely is designed. The system integrated Arduino UNO with a soil moisture sensor, HCSR04 ultrasonic sensor, and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module that gives the system capable of being controlled remotely via the internet, thus achieving optimal irrigation using the internet of things (IoT). Some of the challenges facing the existing irrigation system are water wastage, poor performance, and high cost of implementation. The design system helps to control water supply to crops when it is needed, and also monitors soil moisture, temperature, and water tank level. After carrying out the experiments for 15 days, the system saved approximately 49% of the water used in traditional irrigation method. The system is useful in large farming areas to minimize human effort and reduce the cost of hiring personnel.

Both algorithms were implemented, and experiments were conducted throughout five datacenters of Grid’5000 testbed in France to obtain preliminary performance results in terms of network bandwidth usage. This work is prior to implementing a large-scale decentralized epidemic propagation modeling and prediction system based upon asynchronous distributed cellular automata with application to the current pandemic of SARSCoV-2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
A convolutional neural network for skin cancer classificationIJICTJOURNAL
Skin diseases can be seen clearly by oneself and others. Although this disease is visible on the skin, we fear that this skin disease is harmful. People who experience skin diseases immediately visit a dermatologist to have their complaints and symptoms checked. This skin protects the body, especially from the sun, so it can be lethal if something goes wrong. One example of deadly skin disease is skin cancer or skin tumors. In this research, we classified skin cancer into Benign and Malignant using the convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The purpose of this research is to develop the CNN architecture to help identify skin diseases. We used a dataset of 3,297 skin cancer images which are publicly available on the Kaggle website. We propose two CNN architectures that differ in the number of parameters. The first architecture has 6,427,745 parameters, and the second architecture has 2,797,665. The accuracy of the proposed models is 93% and 74% respectively. The first model with the number of parameters 6,427,745 was saved for use in the creation of the website. We created a web-based application with the Django framework for skin disease identification.

Women have progressed a lot in terms of social empowerment and economics. They are going for higher education, jobs, and many other similar endeavors, but harassment cases have also been on the rise. So, women’s safety is a big concern nowadays, especially in developing countries. Many previous studies and attempts were made to create a feasible safety solution for women. Out of various features to ensure women’s safety in critical situations, location tracking is a very common and key feature in most previously proposed solutions. This study found mechanisms of sending the location to different types of recipients in various women safety solutions. In addition, the advantages and drawbacks of location sending methods in women's safety solutions were analyzed.
Detection of myocardial infarction on recent dataset using machine learningIJICTJOURNAL
In developing countries such as India, with a large aging population and limited access to medical facilities, remote and timely diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) has the potential to save the life of many. An electrocardiogram is the primary clinical tool utilized in the onset or detection of a previous MI incident. Artificial intelligence has made a great impact on every area of research as well as in medical diagnosis. In medical diagnosis, the hypothesis might be doctors' experience which would be used as input to predict a disease that saves the life of mankind. It is been observed that a properly cleaned and pruned dataset provides far better accuracy than an unclean one with missing values. Selection of suitable techniques for data cleaning alongside proper classification algorithms will cause the event of prediction systems that give enhanced accuracy. In this proposal detection of myocardial infarction using new parameters is proposed with increased accuracy and efficiency of the existing model. Additional parameters are used to predict MI with more accuracy. The proposed model is used to predict an early diagnosis of MI with the help of expertise experiences and data gathered from hospitals.
Correcting optical character recognition result via a novel approachIJICTJOURNAL
Optical character recognition (OCR) is a recognition system used to recognize the substance of a checked picture. This system gives erroneous results, which necessitates a post-treatment, for the sentence correction. In this paper, we proposed a new method for syntactic and semantic correction of sentences it is based on the frequency of two correct words in the sentence and a recursive technique. This approach starts with the frequency calculation of each two words successive in the corpora, the words that have the greatest frequency build a correction center. We found 98% using our approach when we used the noisy channel. Further, we obtained 96% using the same corpus in the same conditions.

A novel enhanced algorithm for efficient human trackingIJICTJOURNAL
Tracking moving objects has been an issue in recent years of computer vision and image processing and human tracking makes it a more significant challenge. This category has various aspects and wide applications, such as autonomous deriving, human-robot interactions, and human movement analysis. One of the issues that have always made tracking algorithms difficult is their interaction with goal recognition methods, the mutable appearance of variable aims, and simultaneous tracking of multiple goals. In this paper, a method with high efficiency and higher accuracy was compared to the previous methods for tracking just objects using imaging with the fixed camera is introduced. The proposed algorithm operates in four steps in such a way as to identify a fixed background and remove noise from that. This background is used to subtract from movable objects. After that, while the image is being filtered, the shadows and noises of the filmed image are removed, and finally, using the bubble routing method, the mobile object will be separated and tracked. Experimental results indicated that the proposed model for detecting and tracking mobile objects works well and can improve the motion and trajectory estimation of objects in terms of speed and accuracy to a desirable level up to in terms of accuracy compared with previous methods.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The subarray MIMO radar (SMIMO) is a multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) radar with elements in the form of a sub-array that acts as a phased
array (PAR), so it combines at the same time the key advantage of the PAR
radar, which is high directional gain to increase target range, and the key
advantage of the MIMO radar, i.e., high diversity gains to increase the
maximum number of detected targets. Different schemes for the number of
antenna elements in the transceiver zones, such as uniform and/or variable,
overlapped and non-overlapped, significantly determine the performance of
radars as virtual arrays (VARs), maximum number of detected targets,
accuracy of target angle, detection resolution, SNR detection, and detection
probability. Performance is also compared with the PAR, the MIMO, and the
phased MIMO radars (PMIMO). The SMIMO radar offers great versatility
for radar applications, being able to adapt to different shapes of the multiple
targets to be detected and their environment. For example, for a transmit-
receive with an antenna element number, i.e., M = N = 8, the range of the
number of detected targets for the SMIMO radar is flexible compared to the
other radars. On the other hand, the proposed radar's signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) detection performance and detection probability (K = 5, L = 3) are
both 1,999 and above 90%, which are better than other radars.

1. INTRODUCTION
Along with the development of multi-antenna systems on radar technology that detects multiple
targets at a long distance, it has a detection function and a flexible response to the target state and its
surroundings, supported by high detection accuracy and angle resolution. One of the most important factors
in radar performance is optimal range and tracking angle [1] and multi-target detection [2]. High accuracy
enhances the ability to detect targets, and high angle resolution increases the number of detected targets. Its
implementation requires a radar with high detection accuracy and angle resolution for multiple target
detection, especially as an automotive radar [3]. The phased array (PAR) and multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) radars are two common types of multi-antenna radar systems. This array on the radar system is
arranged in order to get a highdirectivity mainlobe [4], [5]. The PAR radar is that all antenna elements are fed
by adjusting the phase difference to provide higher directional gain in certain directions only [6], [7], so that
the number of detected targets is limited by the small resolution of the resulting angle. The number of

detected targets is increased by applying the MIMO radar because it exploits all orthogonal transmission
signals to obtain multiple echo signals reflected by multitarget [8]–[11], but has a low directional gain.
Besides, the MIMO system concept has been known to have the advantage of increasing the channel capacity
[12], which is directly proportional to the number of detected targets.
The troubles skilled via way of means of the PAR and the MIMO radars are triumph over via way of
means of the Phased MIMO radar (PMIMO) [13]–[16] via way of means of forming overlapped subarrays
(SAs) at the transmit array side (Tx) in order that this radar can concurrently take gain of the primary gain of
the PAR radar, specifically excessive directional advantage and the primary gain of the MIMO radar is
excessive range advantage to growth the range of goal detection and range. Furthermore, this radar is referred
to as PMIMO_Tx.
In the [17]–[19] study of Full PMIMO radar (FPMIMO), using SAs that overlap both Tx and Rx
actually yielded the maximum amount of detected targets and angle resolution. It turned out to increase. The
amount of SA elements in Tx-Rx array is the same. This radar is also known as the PMIMO_Tx_Rx.
To achieve generalization and flexibility of multi-target detection and high angle resolution, this
paper introduces the Subarray MIMO radar (SMIMO), which allows SAs to have the following conditions: a)
the numeral of SA elements varies and or uniform and b) overlapped and or non-overlapped, on Tx-Rx so
that it can form a PAR, MIMO, PMIMO_Tx, PMIMO_Tx_Rx radar configuration, and other radar
variations. SMIMO radar sub-array conditions provide increased degrees of freedoms (DoFs) compared to
other radar types where traditional radars cannot provide detection accuracy, high angle resolution, high SNR
detection, and high detection probability to adapt to current environmental conditions. While using the
SMIMO radar, all you have to do is adjust the configuration and number of Tx-Rx SAs.
The proposed radar performance is expressed in terms of the number of VAs (NVAR), the maximum
amount of detected targets (max), the angle resolution, the maximum complex amplitude of the target return,
the SNR detection (), and the probability detection (Pd). All of these have not been explained in detail in
previous studies and have not been shown comprehensively. The results of this paper show that the SMIMO
radar is highly flexible in various configurations by adjusting the amount of SA elements, the amount of SAs,
overlapped/non-overlapped, and target detection conditions at that time.
The structure of this paper is as follows. In section 2 shows the SMIMO radar system and signal
model. The formulas used to calculate NVAR, max, the magnitude of the complex amplitude, , and Pd are
described in section 3. Section 4 presents the results and considerations in the form of numerical calculations
and simulations of the SMIMO radar performance parameters, as well as their analysis and verification.
Finally, section 5 contains the conclusions of this research.
2. THE SMIMO RADAR
2.1. System model
The multi-antenna uniform linear array (ULA) radar system in Tx-Rx array consists of a total of M
and N elements, respectively. The distances between the antenna elements of Tx and Rx array are dM and dN,
respectively. The transmitted signal has a non-dispersive and narrowband propagation. As shown in Figure 1,
the Tx and Rx arrays are divided into the numeral of SAs, i.e. K and L. These SAs may follow a combination
of overlapped and/or non-overlapped, and the numeral of elements may vary. The SA numbers for Tx and Rx
are 1 ≤ K ≤ M and 1 ≤ L ≤ N, respectively.
Since each SA of both the Tx array and the Rx array acts as an element of the MIMO radar array
that acts as a directional gain controller like a PAR radar, the subarray acts as an orthogonal Tx-Rx element
of the SMIMO radar and independent of each other. The configuration of these sub-arrays promises a
combination of directional gain and diversity gain that can be used simultaneously with both the MIMO and
the PAR radars.
Figure 1 shows some configurations (such as overlapped and/or non-overlapped) of various SAs
within a Tx-Rx array on a SMIMO radar, and the amount of elements in each subarray that are equal and/or
variable. Figure 1(a) shows an proposed radar scheme called a SA in which the SA terms overlap and the
numeral of elements in each sub-array is equal (OES), or K = 3 and L = 4 overlap in Tx and Rx. This
configuration detects multiple targets by generating three quadrature signals transmitted by three SAs on Tx
and received by four SAs operating independently on Rx. Figure 1(b) shows the conditions between the sub-
arrays on the overlapped SMIMO radars, where the amount of elements in each sub-array changes or the
overlapping unequal SAs (OUS) with K = 3 for Tx and L = 4 for Rx. Three orthogonal signals transmitted by
the three SAs of Tx and received by the four SAs of Rx. The difference between the OES configuration and
the OUS configuration is that the radiation shape (beamforming) of the SAs in the OES configuration is the
same for Tx and Rx of each SA, but different for OUS. This is because the OUS configuration has a variable
amount of antenna elements, and a SA with many elements produces higher directivity.

The configurations of the proposed radar SAs in Figure 1(c) do not overlap, and each SA has a
uniform number of elements (NOES), or Tx has K sub-arrays and Rx has L sub-arrays. In this configuration,
for multi-target capture, K orthogonal signals are generated that are sent by the Tx array and received by the
L independent SAs in the Rx array. Figure 1(d) shows the non-overlapped schemes between the SAs, where
the numeral of elements in each sub-array varies or is called a non-overlapping unequal SAs (NOUS), where
Tx has K SAs and Rx has L SAs. The difference between the NOES configuration and the NOUS
configuration is that the sub-arrays with the NOES scheme have the same radial shape for Tx and Rx of each
SA, whereas the radial shape for NOUS is different. This is because the NOUS scheme has a variable amount
of antenna elements, as described in Figure 1(c).
The distinction among overlapped SA (OS) and non-overlapped SA (NOS) is special in Section 4.1,
i.e. concerning the dimensions of the virtual array (VAR) generated and the sign transmitted through the SAs
is semi-orthogonal. This immediately impacts the accuracy and backbone of the detection attitude of the
target.

(c) (d)
Figure 1. The configuration of the Tx-Rx antenna array on an SMIMO radar with SA is a subarray with the
following conditions: (a) overlapped-equal number (OES), (b) overlapped-unequal number (OUS), (c) non-
overlapped-equal number (NOES), and (d) non-overlapped-unequal number (NOUS)
2.2. Signal model
The SMIMO radar block diagram is an adaptation of the PMIMO_Tx_Rx radar block diagram
described by [18] see Figure 2. The difference lies in the numeral of elements of the SA and the state of the
SA, i.e. a non-overlapping number. Tx subpartitions transmit orthogonal signals simultaneously to multiple
targets. The k-th SA of the Tx network sends signals k(t) independently of each other. For M elements in the
Tx network, transmit the baseband signal vector through the k-th SA with k = 1, 2, ..., M, i.e.

3. VIRTUAL ARRAY, MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DETECTED TARGETS, COMPLEX
AMPLITUDE OF ECHO SIGNAL, SNR DETECTION, AND DETECTION PROBABILITY
FOR SMIMO RADAR
The advantage of orthogonally transmitted MIMO radar over the PAR radar is the formation of
VAR [11]. Target detection, angular accuracy, detection angle resolution, and maximum numeral of detected
targets are primarily determined by the VAR of the PAR and MIMO radar [11] and the FPMIMO radar [19]
with evenly overlapping SAs.
VAR calculations at the MIMO, the PAR, the PMIMO_Tx_Rx, and the PMIMO_Tx radars had
been supplied through [19], at (14)-(17). For the most wide variety of detectable goals the MIMO and the
PAR radars had been mentioned through [20], whilst for the PMIMO_Tx_Rx and the PMIMO_Tx radars it's
been mentioned through [19]. The calculation of the angular decision acquired through the complicated
amplitude of the goal echo sign at the PMIMO_Tx_Rx, the MIMO, the PMIMO_Tx, and the PAR radars has
been defined through [19]. For the SNR detector on the proposed radar is an extension of the SNR detector
on the MIMO radar by [21]. Meanwhile, to determine the detection probability on the SMIMO radar, we
adapt Pd from the FPMIMO radar by [19].
The calculation of VAR, the maximum amount of targets that can be detected, and the complex
amplitude of the target return signal on the proposed radar is an extension of the study in [19]. The number of
both overlapped and non-overlapped SAs, and/or the number of SMIMO radar VARs that vary uniformly or
have a number of Tx and Rx SAs, is defined by K and L, respectively.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1. Virtual array
Calculating VAR (NVAR) with SMIMO radar allows you to apply the concept of VAR with the
MIMO radar. That is, antenna-shaped elements can be used to radiate orthogonal signals and extend to sub-
array-shaped elements that are not mutually exclusive overlaps or NOES. VAR is the result of the
convolution of the Tx array and Rx [11]. To determine the VAR, the subarray is considered a single antenna
in the site center and emits orthogonal signals according to the scheme shown in [11]. Based on a comparison
with PMIMO_Tx with 4 OES, the following is an example of VAR calculation for proposed radar with
(M = N = 8) and 4 NOES (2 elements per subarray).
𝑇𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1}; 𝑅𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1};
𝑉𝐴𝑅 = {1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 0}
(16)
Since there are four NOES, there is one compelling element position that is displayed in different font colors.
The Rx array is worth one in the position of eight elements. The VAR of the SMIMO radar using NOES is
14, which is near to the VAR amount of the MIMO radar of 15. For comparison of SMIMO radar using 2
NOES (numeral of elements per 4 SAs).
𝑇𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0}; 𝑅𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1};
𝑉𝐴𝑅 = {0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 0 0}
(17)
then the VAR variety for the SMIMO radar with 2 NOES is 13.
For the PMIMO_Tx radar pronounced by [13] which makes use of a radiation detail withinside the
shape of Tx OES, in accordance to [11] every waveform is radiated from the midpoint of the segment or the
6. Int J Inf & Commun Technol ISSN: 2252-8776

223
vicinity of the antenna detail withinside the SA with MK the maximum middle detail can be 1 at the same
time as the others are 0. Here are a few examples of VAR calculations for the PMIMO_Tx radar with the
same amount of Tx-Rx antenna elements. For example, the configuration of K is four then MK is 5. The shape
of Tx-Rx array and VAR are
𝑇𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {0 1 1 1 1 0 0}; 𝑅𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1};
𝑉𝐴 = {0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 0 0}
(18)
Since there are 4 SAs per SA 5, the element in the center of each SA is worth 1, shown in different
font colors, and the Rx array is worth 1. There are 8 element positions. The PMIMO radar has an VAR
number of 11, which is between two extreme configurations, slightly higher than the PAR radar, i.e. 8, and
lower than the MIMO radar, i.e. 15.
To compare the amount of VARs for proposed radar using OES and NOES, Table 1 shows the
numeral of OES or NOES type SAs, the amount of elements per SA, the amount of OES and NOES, and the
amount of VARs. The numeral of overlapped locations on the SMIMO-OES radar clearly affects the VAR
because there are multiple elements between the shared SAs and the signals are not perfectly orthogonal.
This is shown in the configuration of two OESs, with six element positions in the O state, where NVAR is close
to NVAR on the PAR radar i.e. 9. Meanwhile, if the position of the element in state O is small (like the scheme
of 7 OES with 1 element in state O), NVAR will be one or more of NVAR in the MIMO radar. The OES-based
PMIMO_Tx radars generally have a higher SINR [13] due to the large amount of OES elements, but have a
higher of the directional gain, such as the PAR radars [22], [23]. Therefore, a compromise must be made
between NVAR and the amount of OES, which is proportional to the angle resolution, angle accuracy, and the
numeral of detected targets, to conform to the situations of the desired target of radar.

During the calculation of NVAR on the FPMIMO / PMIMO_Tx_Rx radar reported by [18] and [19],
Tx and Rx are OES, and according to [11] each signal is emitted from the midpoint of the phase or the
position of the antenna element. The Tx subarray with MK has a central element value of 1 and the other
elements 0. The same conditions apply to Rx SAs with many elements. That is, NL. For example, if you
calculate NVAR with K = L = 4 and then MK = NL is 5, the array will be Tx, Rx, and VAR.
𝑇𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {0 1 1 1 1 0 0}; 𝑅𝑥 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦 = {0 1 1 1 1 0 0};
𝑉𝐴𝑅 = {0 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0}
(19)
In case there are 4 SAs in Tx and Rx array, the arrangement of the elements is alike. The NVAR of the
PMIMO_Tx_Rx radar is 7 because out of the 15 slots in the VAR element with a value greater than 1, only 7
are available.
The following is a table showing the result NVAR of all configurations formed for K = L = 8 using (9)
as shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows that the NVAR in the SA configuration of proposed radars such as
PMIMO_Tx and PMIMO_Tx_Rx is intermediate between the PAR and the NVAR of the MIMO radar and
gives the NVAR,PAR < NVAR,SMIMO < NVAR,MIMO. These results also show the proposed radar with the numeral of
Tx and Rx SAs. K and L are common forms of radar that emit many orthogonal signals. Special conditions
for proposed radar are the PAR or SMIMO OES radar (M = 1, N = 8), the MIMO or SMIMO NOES
(M = N = 8), and the PMIMO_Tx or SMIMO OES (1 < K < M, L = 8 ).
However, if dM and dN are not equal with d and are greater than d, the resulting NVAR will be greater
than those tabulated in Table 2. Similarly, for the magnitudes dM = LdN and dN = d, the maximum value of
NVAR becomes KL. For example, if K = L = 8, the maximum NVARs for the PAR, the MIMO, the PMIMO_Tx,
7. ISSN: 2252-8776

224
and the PMIMO_Tx_Rx radars are 8, 64, 32, and 16, respectively. However, in reality, M = N, which is
already safe. For example, it is not possible programmatically to set the spacing between the elements of Tx
and Rx in order to get the uppercase NVAR. The antennas on the Tx and Rx arrays are almost always in a
specific location from the beginning.

4.2. Angle resolution
The formation of the VAR is due to the Tx array transmitting the quadrature signal, thus forming a
more focused radiation or beam ray. This happens because a large array is formed in the VAR. The output
beam scheme is the product of the Tx and the Rx beam scheme. The Tx beam ray is the power pattern
radiated from the Tx antenna in all directions of the target. Similarly, the Rx beam ray is the received power
pattern from the target as the arrival angle function of the return signal. If the Rx uses only one antenna, it is
difficult to determine the arrival of angle as it will be difficult to distinguish between strong signals from the
top of the beam and weak signals in the sidelobes. However, if Rx is an array, this does not happen and the
beam can be digitally directed to the reach angle of the echo signal.
Figure 2(a) shows the MIMO radar beam schemes for a two-element Tx array and a three-element
Rx array. The spacing between the Tx and the Rx array elements is 0.5λ. Here, λ is wavelenght a carrier
signal. Its output beam ray is similar to the Rx beam ray. However, if you increase the spacing among the
elements of the Tx array to 3 times dN, the resulting beam scheme is shown in Figure 2(b). The resulting
beam pattern has a narrower beamwidth. Also, the grating lobes that appear in the beam scheme do not seem
to appear in the output beam ray. The output beam ray in Figure 2(c) is similar to Figure 2(b), with the
difference that the spacing between the elements of Tx is 0.5λ, while the spacing between the elements of Rx
is twice dM. Therefore, the beam ray can also be represented as a pattern from a 2 × 3 = 6 element Rx array,
or the output beam ray is a VAR beam scheme as shown in Figure 2(d). This shows that calculating the
correct geometry between the correct element of the Tx array and Rx improves the angle resolution of the
radar system without adding the element of antenna to the array.
For PAR transmit signals, a high gain beam is obtained and the SNR is increased M-fold, which
does not occur for quadrature signal transmissions. Therefore, it is necessary to find a compromise between
signal transmission with directional amplification and quadrature signal transmission in order to obtain
angular resolution that meets the target conditions. This guarantees a compromise between the two extreme
configurations and supports the application of the proposed radar concept, which can simultaneously provide
SNR, angle resolution, maximum amount of detected targets, and beam schemes. The use of SAs is a
compromise between Tx-Rx gain, SINR, and maximum range, as described in [22] and [23].
There is capacity for the usage of SAs with extraordinary variety of elements (unequal subarray,
US) to triumph over the restrictions of identical subarray (ES). Especially if it's far adjusted to the situations
for detecting more than one objectives due to the fact usually with excessive directional benefit it's far
appropriate for objectives which have an extended variety and weak or small radar cross section (RCS). If the
goal situations range i.e. varies in variety, RCS, etc., then using a aggregate of various SA schemes (OS/NOS
and ES/US) may be found out as an example in a single time and one Tx array may be found out as a non-
overlapped identical SA (NOES), overlapped identical SA (OES), non-overlapped unequal SA (NOUS), or
overlapped unequal SA (OUS). However, there additionally wishes to be technical issues in its
implementation which decide whether or not it may be implemented practically, particularly to the waveform
generator in Tx and sign processor in Rx for the utility of the SA methods.

4.3. Relationship between VAR and maximum amount of discoverable targets
Section 4.1 explained the relationship between the numerical calculation of VAR using (9) reported
in [20]. Since VAR is proportional to angle resolution and accuracy, it is also proportional to the calculation
of the maximum amount of detected targets (max). In calculating the maximum numeral of the MIMO radar
targets formulated in [20], at (22), it is also useful to calculate the maximum amount of detected targets for
PAR, PMIMO_Tx, and PMIMO_Tx_Rx radars i.e. special conditions for proposed radar. Radar uses (10). To
demonstrate this, (11) is used to obtain numerical results as shown in Figure 3. This shows a comparison of
these four parameters for all variations of the proposed radar at K = 4, L = 5, and M = N is about 8.
As shown in Figure 3, the MIMO and the PMIMO_Tx radars can detect the four targets indicated by
the red dotted vertical lines. That is, D = {-25o
, -10o
, 5o
, 15o
}, but only two the PAR radar and the
PMIMO_Tx_Rx radars can detect the target. = {-25o
, -10o
}. MIMO radar has the highest detection
accuracy of the four radars. Similarly, it detects the magnitude of the complex amplitude of the return signal
most often obtained by MIMO radar. This is related to the amount of VARs in the largest MIMO radar,
which improves angle detection accuracy and angle resolution.
Based on the max equation in (10) of the SMIMO radar, the max value of the PMIMO_Tx and
PMIMO_Tx_Rx radar signal schemes is between the PAR and the max value of the MIMO radar, and they
are related i.e. max,PAR < max,PMIMO < max,MIMO. For example, for Tx-Rx with K = L is 8, get max,PAR,
max,MIMO, max,PMIMO-Tx, and max,PMIMO-Tx-Rx, that is, 4, (7, 32), (5, 16) and (3, 8), respectively. Looking at
Figure 3, the MIMO and the PMIMO radars are within the detectability limits of more than four radars, so
they can properly detect four targets.

4.4. SNR detector
The best performance measure of various detectors is Pd which will be presented in section 4.5. So
comparisons of Pd of various radar systems must be made and selected to determine which one is the best.
The comparison is a numerical calculation of a single scalar performance measure such as a function of the
detector's SNR performance [21].
Figure 4 is the result of the evaluation of expression (14) to calculate the SNR detector performance
of the proposed radar. It is assumed that M = N = 8 and the SNR range = {-10:1:15} where the radar
configurations of the PAR, the MIMO, the PMIMO_Tx, and two variations of SMIMO are (K = 1, L = 8),
(K = L = 8), (K = 4, L = 8), (K = 5, L = 3), and (K = 7, L = 6), respectively. It appears that the SNR detector
of the PAR radar is superior to other radar configurations, especially for low SNR, but when the SNR is
above 10 dB, generally the performance of the SNR detector from the proposed radar, namely SMIMO, tends
to reach the same value as the SNR detector from the PAR radar. For example, for an SNR condition of 10
dB, the SNR detector constant value () for PAR, MIMO, PMIMO_Tx radars, and the two proposed radar
variants are 1,998, 1,994, 1,996, 1,999, and 1,995, respectively. The results also show that the variation in the
amount of SAs in Tx-Rx, i.e. K and L, affects the value of where it is evident that the proposed radar
configuration (K = 5, L = 3) has a high value compared to the special configuration of the proposed radar,
namely the PAR radar. Thus, the SMIMO radar has high flexibility to detect multiple targets by adjusting the
numeral of Tx-Rx SAs, i.e. K and L.
4.5. Detection probability
In the radar detection results according to [21] that the performance of the PAR radar outperforms
compared to the MIMO radar at low SNR but the condition is reversed for high SNR. Based on (15) with
similar assumptions to the previous evaluation, i.e. M = N = 8, the SNR is set to 10 dB, and the range
Pfa = {0:0.1:1} where the configurations of the PAR, the MIMO, the PMIMO_Tx, and the SMIMO radars
respectively are (K = 1, L = 8), (K = L = 8), (K = 4, L = 8), and (K = L = 4), the results are obtained as
presented in Figure 5. The numerical evaluation results in Figure 5 corroborate the results discussed in
section 4.4 and as reported by [21] namely the Pd performance of the PAR radar outperforms the
performance of other radars. While at a low Pfa of about 10-4
, all Pd performances of the SMIMO radar
variation have Pd values above 90%. This shows that detection target is more best for SNR values above
10 dB. It also appears that the variation in the amount of SAs in Tx-Rx namely K and L affects the Pd value.
This is evident because the PAR, the MIMO, and the PMIMO_Tx radars are special conditions of the
proposed radar.

5. CONCLUSION
This article described the number of the VARs, the angle resolution, the maximum number of
detectable targets, the magnitude of the complex amplitude, the SNR detector, and the detection probability
of the SMIMO radar return signal under various SA configurations. The number of VARs strongly
determines the angle resolution and the number of detected targets. These are strongly influenced by SA
schemes like OES, OUS, NOES, and NOUS. For the total amount of Tx-Rx array of antennas, or the
proposed radar with M and N, all parameters of SMIMO radar performance are primarily determined by the
number of Tx-Rx SAs, K and L. The maximum number of targets that can be detected, the SNR detector, the
size of the complex amplitude, and the detection probability turn on the number of SAs of the Tx-Rx
proposed radar, where the PAR, the MIMO, the PMIMO_Tx, and the PMIMO_Tx_Rx radars represent
special schemes. Changing the number of specific K and L Tx-Rx SAs (M and N) is adaptive, flexible, and
programmable with the proposed radar, providing multi-target detection capabilities with multi-antenna radar
systems that increase with target and environment. The condition is more reliable and the design planning
radar is easier.
