In this paper, based on our previous work on Multiple Access Channel (MAC) and Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC), we analyze the impact of a relay on the fundamental wireless communications concept, i.e., coverage region of MARC, as a basic model for uplink communications between a base station and users with the help of a relay. This analysis includes the coverage region for the MAC as a special case. Considering rate regions for the Gaussian MARC and fading Gaussian MARC, it is proved that in a fixed transmission rate, the relay extends coverage region of the MARC. Numerical illustrations confirm our theoretical results.}, keywords = {multiple access relay channel,Coverage region,Fixed desired transmission rates,Cellular network}, url = {https://jce.shahed.ac.ir/article_324.html}, eprint = {https://jce.shahed.ac.ir/article_324_53881c808ccf98515a921b16064b0202.pdf} } @article { author = {Amiri, Shervin and Imani, Ali and Soleimani, Mohammad}, title = {Theoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna}, journal = {Journal of Communication Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {21-28}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Shahed University}, issn = {2322-4088}, eissn = {2322-3936}, doi = {10.22070/jce.2016.327}, abstract = {Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions.

The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveguide-fed phased-array antenna, which is covered with uniaxial anisotropic liquid crystal layers. The analytical method can be used to optimize the wide angle impedance matching over broad angular range of the array. The analytical method is assumed for infinite arrays. The analytical results have been verified using simulation software. In this paper it is proposed to use anisotropic liquid crystal to improve the reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antennas. Also it is proposed to employ the reconfigurable properties of liquid crystal to engineering the analytical optimization. }, keywords = {modal analysis,waveguide,fed phased,array antenna,liquid crystal}, url = {https://jce.shahed.ac.ir/article_326.html}, eprint = {https://jce.shahed.ac.ir/article_326_1879251d50aefd6a7b1a55f882f72f5a.pdf} } @article { author = {Chehel Amirani, Mehdi and Ghobadi, Changiz and Nourinia, Javad and mostafapour, ehsan}, title = {Tracking performance of incremental LMS algorithm over adaptive distributed sensor networks}, journal = {Journal of Communication Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {55-66}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Shahed University}, issn = {2322-4088}, eissn = {2322-3936}, doi = {10.22070/jce.2016.325}, abstract = {in this paper we focus on the tracking performance of incremental adaptive LMS algorithm in an adaptive network.
