Simulated and measured results of the DAs are characterized. The measured results show that the low noise DAs have input and output VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of less than 2.0,associated gain of more than 7.0dB and gain ripple of less than ldB in the frequency range from 2 to 10GHz. Noise figure of the DAs is less than 5dB in the frequency range from 2 to 6GHz,and less than 6.5dB in the frequency range from 2 to 10GHz. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones.展开更多

The firing of head direction cells(HDCs) and grid cells(GCs) is related to the moving direction and distance, respectively. Thus, it is considered that these cells play an important role in the rodents' path integration. To provide a bionic approach for the vehicle to achieve path integration, we present a biologically inspired model of path integration based on the firing characteristics of HDCs and GCs. The detailed implementation process of this model is discussed. Besides, the proposed model is realized by simulation, and the path integration performance is analyzed under different conditions. Simulations validate that the proposed model is effective and stable.展开更多

The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with cell parameters, a = 9.3309(19)/k, b = 14.798(3)A, c = 33.637(7)/k, β= 91.11(3)°, V = 4643.8(16) nm3 and Z = 4. The connectivity of the ZnO4 tetrahedra and HPO3 pseudo pyramids results in infinite corner-sharing 4-membered ring chains as second building units which are further linked by Zn-O-P bonds to form a 2-D layer that with interesting 8-membered ring channels along the [100] direction. The diprotonated 4,4'-trimethylenedipyridine molecules sit in the middle of the layers along the [100] direction and interact with the framework via hydrogen bonds.展开更多

The analysis of the decay process for a Fock state and a coherent state demonstrate that this method is very useful in dealing with the problems in decay process of the open system. For finite temperatures, the calculations of the reduced density matrix and the mean excitation number for the open system show that an initiaJ coherent state will evolve into a temperature-dependant coherent state after tracing over the bath variables. Also in short-time limit, a temperature-dependant effective Hamiltonian for the open system characterizes the decay process of the open system.展开更多
