摘要： A phased array antenna that employs a switched least means squared architecture comprises plurality of receiving elements each having a respective weighting unit associated therewith, a summation unit, a processor, a plurality of sampling devise and a switching unit contains a switch arm having a contact at its free and, an ADC and a plurality of switch contacts corresponding to the ends of channels connected to the respective sampling devices. Each of a plurality of receiving elements is ampled by a respective sampling device prior to an incoming signal subjected to complex weighting by respective weighting units. Each of the signals sampled by the sampling device passes along respective channels to the switching unit. Thus, by switching between the contacts it is possible to vary which of the receiving elements is sampled. The processor calculates new complex weighting coefficients to be applied to the incoming signals by the weighting units using the sampled incoming signals in order to minimize a difference between an output from the summation unit y and a training signal d.

摘要： A signal processing apparatus comprises a plurality of receiving elements, weighting means, and decoding means. Each of the receiving elements has respective weighting means associated therewith at the decoding means, and is arranged to receive a plurality of signals transmitted from a plurality of transmitters. The weighting means are arranged to apply a complex weighting function to each of a number of the signals received by the receiving elements at a given frequency in order to null the number of signals. The decoding means are arranged to determine a symbol or codeword associated with a non-nulled signal and to incorporate the symbol or codeword in the determination of at least one further symbol or codeword.

摘要： A method of compressing a gas, which uses a compressor train having a plurality of discrete portions and including at least an upstream portion, a mid-stream portion and a downstream portion arranged successively in flow series. The method includes: (i) performing a first compression step by directing a flow of said gas into the upstream compressor portion and driving the upstream compressor portion to compress the gas; (ii) performing a second compression step by directing the compressed flow from the upstream compressor portion into the mid-stream compressor portion and driving the mid-stream compressor portion to further compress the gas; and (iii) performing a third compression step by directing the compressed flow from the mid-stream compressor portion into the downstream compressor portion and driving the downstream compressor portion to further compress the gas.

摘要： An industrial system for compressing a waste gas product, such as CO2, including a compressor train having an upstream rotor portion and a downstream rotor portion arranged in flow series with said upstream portion. Each rotor portion includes one or more compressor stages and said downstream portion is arranged to rotate at a variable relative speed to that of the upstream rotor portion. Sensing equipment for the compressor train is arranged to determine one or more flow conditions and a controller is arranged to receive data indicative of said one or more sensed flow conditions. The controller is arranged to set the rotational speed of the upstream rotor portion based upon the pressure or flow rate of gas upstream of said compressor train and to set operational parameters for said downstream portion so as to maintain a desired surge margin for said upstream rotor portion.
