Designing optimal number of receiving traces based on simulation model

Currently, the selection of receiving traces in geometry design is mostly based on the horizontal layered medium hypothesis, which is unable to meet survey requirements in a complex area. This paper estimates the optimal number of receiving traces in field geometry using a numerical simulation based on a field test conducted in previous research （Zhu et al., 2011）. A mathematical model is established for total energy and average efficiency energy using fixed trace spacing and optimal receiving traces are estimated. Seismic data acquired in a complex work area are used to verify the correctness of the proposed method. Results of model data calculations and actual data processing show that results are in agreement. This indicates that the proposed method is reasonable, correct, sufficiently scientific, and can be regarded as a novel method for use in seismic geometry design in complex geological regions.

Receiver function study of the crustal structure of Northeast China:Seismic evidence for a mantle upwelling beneath the eastern flank of the Songliao Basin and the Changbaishan region

Northeast China is a unique place to study intra-plate volcanism. We analyzed P-wave receiver function data recorded by 111 permanent broadband seismic stations in Northeast China. The results show that the crustal thickness varies from 27.9 km beneath the eastern flank of the Songliao Basin to 40.7 km beneath the Great Xing＇an Range region. The large depth variations of the Moho can be largely but not completely explained by surface topography. The residual Moho depth calculated based on the Airy＇s isostasy model indicates that the Moho is dynamically uplifted by 〈3 km beneath the eastern flank of the Songliao Basin and the Changbaishan region. We suggest that a mantle upwelling, which has been proposed by several recent seismic studies, might have caused the uplift.

A sign-function receiving scheme for sine signals enhanced by stochastic resonance

To address the problem that it is difficult to detect an intermediate frequency(IF)signal at the receiving end of a communication system under extremely low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)conditions,we propose a stochastic resonance(SR)-enhanced sine-signal detection method based on the sign function.By analyzing the SR mechanism of the sine signal and combining it with the characteristics of a dual-sequence frequency-hopping(DSFH)receiver,a periodic stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation(FPE)with a time parameter is obtained.The extreme point of the sine signal is selected as the decision time,and the force law of the electromagnetic particles is analyzed.A receiving structure based on the sign function is proposed to maximize the output difference of the system,and the value condition of the sign function is determined.In order to further improve the detection performance,in combination with the central-limit theorem,the sampling points are averaged N times,and the signal-detection problem is transformed into a hypothesis-testing problem under a Gaussian distribution.The theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results confirm that when N is 100 and the SNR is greater than 20 dB,the bit-error ratio(BER)is less than 1.5×10^(-2) under conditions in which the signal conforms to the optimal SR parameters.

Influence of shallow low resistivity thin layer on SATEM response at different receiving heights in near and far regions

In recent years,the semi-airborne transient electromagnetic method(SATEM)has been rapidly developed in China.Based on the theoretical development of the long grounding wire source transient electromagnetic method,the unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with the receiving coil to collect the electromagnetic response data at high altitude,making the TEM no longer affected by the terrain and greatly improving the actual working efficiency.However,its flight altitude has not been concerned for a long time.It is generally believed that the change of flight altitude only affects the amplitude of the received response.However,under special circumstances,the electromagnetic response data received at different flight altitudes in the near and far regions may lose the characteristic information of the target geological body.This paper simulates the low resistance thin layer model and analyzes the electromagnetic responses of different receiving heights under different transceiver distances.The results show that in the near area,when the flight altitude is higher than 30 meters or more,the received electromagnetic response will lose the information of the shallow lowresistance thin layer,while in the far area,the change of flight altitude has no obvious influence on the characteristic electromagnetic response information of the received geological body.

Experimental and numerical studies on the receiving gain enhancement modulated by a sub-wavelength plasma layer

A novel technique based on sub-wavelength plasma structure effects on enhancement of RF communication signals on a receiving antenna is carried out in this paper in laboratory experiments and analyzed by corresponding numerical simulations.Considerable intensification on receiving signal gain up to -10 d B in comparison with that without the plasma modulation is observed experimentally in -1 GHz RF band,with an effective enhancement bandwidth of -340 MHz and the fractional bandwidth of -34%.Then,the optimal modulation parameters of plasma are further studied by a numerical simulation.It is shown that the number density,the layer thickness,and the collision frequency of the plasma,as well as the relative distance between the plasma layer and antenna synergistically affect the modulation.Compared to the metallic antenna with the same overall dimension,the modulated antenna covered by the subwavelength plasma structure features higher receiving efficiency and lower radar cross section in the studied RF band.The mechanism of the reception enhancement is further revealed by analyzing characteristics of electromagnetic scattering and electric field distribution in the subwavelength plasma layer.The results then exhibit scientific significance and application potential of sub-wavelength plasma modulation on compact receiving antennas with higher performance and better feature of radar stealth.

Influence of Close-Up Starting Programs on Performance of Light-Weight Feedlot Steers Calves during the Early Receiving Period

The influence of close-up feed strategies on growth performance and dietary NE in light-weight feedlot steers during a 56 d receiving period was evaluated. Dietary treatments were formulated to meet the average metabolizable amino acid requirements of calves during 1) the initial 7 d;2) the initial 14 d;and 3) the initial 21 d following arrival into the feedlot, assuming average interval DMI of 2.8, 3.0, and 3.6 kg/d, respectively. Thereafter, all steers received dietary treatment 3. Fish meal was the source of supplemental protein. One hundred eight medium-framed crossbred steers (168.4 ± 5.0 kg) were blocked by weight and assigned to 18 pen groups (6 steers per pen). P-value (≤0.10) was considered as statistically significant. Daily weight gain (linear effect, P = 0.09) and gain efficiency (linear effect, P = 0.08) decreased as the close-up interval increased. DMI was not influenced by feeding program (P = 0.46). The ratio of observed to expected dietary NEm (linear effect P = 0.06) and NEg (linear effect, P = 0.05) decreased as length of close-up interval increased. Morbidity was low (18%) and not affected (P > 0.40) by dietary treatments. It is concluded that the addition of a close-up diet formulated to meet the metabolizable amino acid requirements of shipping stressed calves during the initial 7 d in the feedlot, when feed intakes are comparatively low, will have long-term beneficial effect on cattle growth performance and dietary NE.

Beidou receiver based on anti-jamming antenna arrays with self-calibration for precise relative positioning

Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)may be subjected to unintentional radio frequency interference(RFI)or hostile jamming attack which will lead to fail to track global navigation satellite system(GNSS)signals.Therefore,the simultaneous realization of anti-jamming and high-precision carrier phase difference positioning becomes a dilemmatic problem.In this paper,a distortionless phase digital beamforming(DBF)algorithm with self-calibration antenna arrays is proposed,which enables to obtain distortionless carrier phase while suppressing jamming.Additionally,architecture of high precision Beidou receiver based on anti-jamming antenna arrays is proposed.Finally,the performance of the algorithm is evaluated,including antenna calibration accuracy,carrier phase distortionless accuracy,and carrier phase measurement accuracy without jamming.Meanwhile,the maximal jamming to signal ratio(JSR)and real time kinematic(RTK)positioning accuracy under wideband jamming are also investigated.The experimental results based on the real-life Beidou signals show that the proposed method has an excellent performance for precise relative positioning under jamming when compared with other anti-jamming methods.

Enhancing Indoor User Localization:An Adaptive Bayesian Approach for Multi-Floor Environments

Indoor localization systems are crucial in addressing the limitations of traditional global positioning system(GPS)in indoor environments due to signal attenuation issues.As complex indoor spaces become more sophisticated,indoor localization systems become essential for improving user experience,safety,and operational efficiency.Indoor localization methods based on Wi-Fi fingerprints require a high-density location fingerprint database,but this can increase the computational burden in the online phase.Bayesian networks,which integrate prior knowledge or domain expertise,are an effective solution for accurately determining indoor user locations.These networks use probabilistic reasoning to model relationships among various localization parameters for indoor environments that are challenging to navigate.This article proposes an adaptive Bayesian model for multi-floor environments based on fingerprinting techniques to minimize errors in estimating user location.The proposed system is an off-the-shelf solution that uses existing Wi-Fi infrastructures to estimate user’s location.It operates in both online and offline phases.In the offline phase,a mobile device with Wi-Fi capability collects radio signals,while in the online phase,generating samples using Gibbs sampling based on the proposed Bayesian model and radio map to predict user’s location.Experimental results unequivocally showcase the superior performance of the proposed model when compared to other existing models and methods.The proposed model achieved an impressive lower average localization error,surpassing the accuracy of competing approaches.Notably,this noteworthy achievement was attained with minimal reliance on reference points,underscoring the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed model in accurately estimating user locations in indoor environments.

Fast measurement and prediction method for electromagnetic susceptibility of receiver

Aiming at evaluating and predicting rapidly and accurately a high sensitivity receiver’s adaptability in complex electromagnetic environments,a novel testing and prediction method based on dual-channel multi-frequency is proposed to improve the traditional two-tone test.Firstly,two signal generators are used to generate signals at the radio frequency(RF)by frequency scanning,and then a rapid measurement at the intermediate frequency(IF)output port is carried out to obtain a huge amount of sample data for the subsequent analysis.Secondly,the IF output response data are modeled and analyzed to construct the linear and nonlinear response constraint equations in the frequency domain and prediction models in the power domain,which provide the theoretical criteria for interpreting and predicting electromagnetic susceptibility(EMS)of the receiver.An experiment performed on a radar receiver confirms the reliability of the method proposed in this paper.It shows that the interference of each harmonic frequency and each order to the receiver can be identified and predicted with the sensitivity model.Based on this,fast and comprehensive evaluation and prediction of the receiver’s EMS in complex environment can be efficiently realized.
