This model simultaneously describes angular arrival of multi-path signals in the azimuth and elevation planes in an environment where uniformly distributed scatterers are assumed to be present in hemispheroids around the base station(BS) and mobile station(MS). Using this channel model, we first derive the closed-form expression for the joint and marginal probability density functions of the angle-of-arrival and time-of-arrival measured at the BS and the MS corresponding to the azimuth and elevation angles. Next, we derive an expression for the Doppler spectral distribution caused by motion of the MSs. Furthermore, we analyze the performance of multiple-input multiple-output antenna systems numerically. The results show that the proposed 3D scattering channel model performs better than previously proposed two-dimensional(2D) models for indoor and outdoor environments. We compare the results with previous scattering channel models and measurement results to validate the generalizability of our model.展开更多

The QA-OMPFEK-20 with an ion exchange capacity(IEC) of 1.66 mmolg^-1 exhibited a higher SO42-conductivity(9.62mScm^-1) than that of the QA-TMPFEK-40(4.82mScm^-1) at room temperature, which had a slightly higher IEC of 1.73 mmolg-1but much lower QA density.The enhanced SO42-conductivity of QA-OMPFEK-20 was attributed to the ion-segregated structure arising from the densely anchored QA groups, which was validated by SAXS observation. Furthermore, the QA-OMPFEK-20 showed much lower VO2+permeability(1.24×10^-14m^2s^-1) than QA-TMPFEK-40(5.40×10^-13m^2s^-1) and Nafion N212(5.36×10^-12m^2s^-1), leading to improved Coulombic and energy efficiencies in Vanadium redox flow batteries(VRFBs). Therefore, the Ullmann coupling extension is a valuable approach for the development of high performance anion exchange membranes for VRFBs.展开更多

The ultra-small textured surface achieves the low reflectance by multiple reflections among the silicon nanowires (NWs). The electrical performances of the solar cells, including open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (lsc) and conversion efficiency (η), are analyzed by the theoretical model. The results show that the low reflectance is not the only pursuit in manufacturing the Si NWs solar cells. Other factors including optimizing the surface passivation, improving the silicon wafers quality and designing the proper nanowire length should be considered together with NWs structure.展开更多

And the variations of the dimensionless gain spectra with the normalized angular frequency and normalized incident power are calculated and discussed for different sign relations between the linear dispersion and the third-order nonlinear coefficients. The results show that in the negative refractive index region, MI can occur irrespective of the sign relation between the linear dispersion and the third-order nonlinear coefficients. And depending on different dimensionless angular frequencies and different sign relations, the variations of the dimensionless gain spectra with incident power take on several different forms. Namely, the peak gain and the cut-off frequency of MI may increase then decrease with the increase of the incident power, or decrease monotonously. Moreover, MI may even have a threshold incident power for some cases.展开更多
