FE(finite element) models of bend pipe without defects and those with defects were introduced to analyze energy distribution, mode transition and defect detection of ultrasonic guided wave. FE simulation results were validated by experiments of four different bend pipes with circumferential defects in different positions. It is shown that most energy of T(0,1) mode or L(0,2) mode focuses on extrados of bend but little passes through intrados of bend, and T(0,1) mode or L(0,2) mode is converted to other possible non-axisymmetric modes when propagating through the bend and the defect after bend respectively. Furthermore, L(0,2) mode is more sensitive to circumferential notch than T(0,1) mode. The results of this work are beneficial for practical testing of pipes.展开更多

The Quasi-Constant Envelope Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(QCE-OFDM) technique can achieve both high spectral efficiency and low peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR). Therefore, the QCE-OFDM technique is considered as a promising candidate multi-carrier technique for satellite systems. However, the Doppler effect will cause the carrier frequency offset(CFO), and the non-ideal oscillator will cause the carrier phase offset(CPO) in satellite systems. The CFO and CPO will further result in the bit-error-rate(BER) performance degradation. Hence, it is important to estimate and compensate the CFO and CPO. This paper analyzes the effects of both CFO and CPO in QCE-OFDM satellite systems. Furthermore, we propose a joint CFO and CPO estimation method based on the pilot symbols in the frequency domain. In addition, the optimal pilot symbol structure with different pilot overheads is designed according to the minimum Cramer-Rao bound(CRB) criterion. Simulation results show that the estimation accuracy of the proposed method is close to the CRB.展开更多

In view of the complexity and high accuracy requirement, 1/2 and 1/4 pilot symbol cycle CAZAC sequence structures are defined as the pilot frequency sequence. Estimation within one symbol cycle is carried out through averaging samples of two neighboring symbol cycles, after which the operation is expanded to all the symbol cycles in one band group. Taking multipath effect into account, the concept of phase rotation is proposed for a further step. Adjust the phase difference of estimated symbols by phase rotation, and cross estimation could be done. Meanwhile, timing scheme works within one cycle training sequence. Theoretical and simulation analysis indicate that CRLB does not only relate to estimation symbol length, but also be influenced by phase difference of estimation symbols seriously. In the condition that the length of estimation is fixed, the bigger the phase rotation angle is, the smaller the CRLB is. The complexity of proposed algorithm is less than full cycle average estimation method for almost 50%. Meanwhile, the estimation accuracy is approximate with the full cycle average estimation method as well. Timing scheme with the defined preamble structure is also proposed. Simulation proves its efficiency.展开更多

This paper proposes a new and advanced positioning algorithm for the dual-frequency satellite navigation receivers, concerning the various influences of all the ranging error sources and taking advantage of the Klobuchar single-frequency ionospheric model. The paper also presents positioning precision provided by the new algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, the new dual-frequency positioning algorithm can achieve higher positioning accu- racy than the single-frequency positioning algorithm and the traditional dual-frequency positioning algorithm.展开更多

They exhibit flexible crystal chemistry. Compounds 1 and 2 are mixed valence selenium oxides containing Se(IV) and Se(VI) cations simultaneously. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibit a 3 D open framework with 4-, 6-and 8-member polyhedral ring tunnels along a, b and c axes. Compound 1 crystallized in a polar space group and could display a subtle frequency doubling efficiency about 35% of the commercial KH2PO4(KDP). UV-vis-NIR spectra reveal that compounds 1–3 are wide-band semiconductors with the optical bandgaps of 3.11, 3.65, 3.58 e V respectively. Theoretical calculations disclose that compounds2 and 3 are indirect band gap structures and their bandgaps are determined by Ag, Bi, Se and O atoms together.展开更多
