Construction of a broadband impedance spectrum and synchronous DC voltammetry measurement system for solar cells

The current impedance spectroscopy measurement techniques face difficulties in diagnosing solar cell faults due to issues such as cost,complexity,and accuracy.Therefore,a novel system was developed for precise broadband impedance spectrum measurement of solar cells,which was composed of an oscilloscope,a signal generator,and a sampling resistor.The results demonstrate concurrent accurate measurement of the impedance spectrum(50 Hz-0.1 MHz)and direct current voltametric characteristics.Comparative analysis with Keithley 2450 data yields a global relative error of approximately 6.70%,affirming the accuracy.Among excitation signals(sine,square,triangle,pulse waves),sine wave input yields the most accurate data,with a root mean square error of approximately 13.3016 and a global relative error of approximately 4.25%compared to theoretical data.Elevating reference resistance expands the half circle in the impedance spectrum.Proximity of reference resistance to that of the solar cell enhances the accuracy by mitigating line resistance influence.Measurement error is lower in high-frequency regions due to a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Study of ultra-wideband radar signals-generated technology using two-channel signal generator

Synthesis of ultra-wideband （UWB） linear frequency modulation radar signals is a very important technology for microwave imaging, target identification and detection of low radar-cross-section （RCS） targets. A new method of UWB radar signals generation with two-channel signal generator is presented. The realization structure is given; the principle and errors of signal synthesis are analyzed. At the same time, an automatic .adjustment measure of signal phase is proposed because of phase discontinuity of waveform in this method. The simulation experiment and analysis results indicate that radar signals with large instantaneous bandwidth can be generated by means of this method on the condition that the high-speed digital devices are limited.

Digital Predistortion and Measurement Method

Digital PreDistortion(DPD)is a very useful method to improve the linearity of Power Amplifiers(PAs)for LTE and upcoming 5 G networks.As the spectrum resources are becoming more and more crowded,and the communications bandwidth are broader,the ACPR(Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio)is very important to communication systems.DPD is one of the useful means for PA to reduce ACPR.This article demonstrates what DPD is and how DPD is achieved,the measurement of the Digital Distortion of a PA using a vector generator and vector analyzer,and the measurement results has been discussed.

Self-powered chaos signal generator is potentially useful in future medical system,such as low cost portable human healthy monitor and treatment without external power source.For both functional and power unit,the power level of electric energy generator and consumption is a key factor for self-powered system.In this paper,we have investigated the power consumption of three typical output modes of a simple chaos circuit.Analytical analysis for power consumption of fixed output mode is obtained for evaluating the power characteristics of chaos signal generator.Numerical calculations are given for predicting the power characteristics of periodical and chaotic output modes.This study is important for not only understanding the power consumption of chaos signal generator,but also guiding new self-powered chaos signal generator design.

NPR1-dependent salicylic acid signaling inhibits Agrobacteriummediated transient expression in Arabidopsis

Dear Editor,Arabidopsis thaliana,as a model plant,is the most well-studied plant species.One of the advantages of using Arabidopsis is that obtaining stably transformed plants using flower-dipping method is easy.However,generating transgenic plants is still time-consuming.Therefore,transient expression is frequently used to characterize protein functions.Several transient expression assays have been developed,including protoplast transfection,biolistic bombardment,and Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression.Among these assays,

Millimeter-wave modulated optical pulse generated by pulse repetition rate multiplication and temporal Talbot effect

A novel scheme was proposed to generate a millimeter-wave （MMW） optical pulse by combining pulse repetition rate multiplication （PRRM） technology and temporal Talbot effect （TTE）. A cascaded Mach- Zehnder interferometer （MZI） lattice was used for PRRM, and a linearly chirped fiber grating （LCFG） was used as TTE. The basic principle was analyzed by using a Gaussian input short pulse and its characteristics were discussed by numerical simulation. It is shown that the proposed scheme is feasible for MMW signal generation and has potential merits for practical application of radio over fiber （ROF） technology.

A New Full Bridge High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Power System with Harmonic Cancellation

The feasibility of a new full bridge high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) amplifier system with harmonic cancellation is evaluated in this study. Harmonic cancellation technique is applied to these power amplifiers, which can eliminate the 3rd harmonic and all even harmonics. Since this technique requires two channels of phase signal to control one channel of power amplifier, the signal generator is required to double its output. The transducer array proposed in this study has 100 elements. So we choose an FPGA chip to generate 200 driving signals, and each channel has a phase resolution of 2ns, less than 1°. The phase signal from the FPGA meets the requirement of driving the power amplifiers. The output waveform of one channel of power amplifier(voltage across the transducer) is evaluated, and shows fewer harmonic components.

Multiple-frequency basestation RoF system based on po-larization multiplexed FWM in SOA

An approach of multiple-frequency millimeter-wave(mm-wave)signal generation is proposed for radio-over-fiber(RoF)system with multiple-frequency basestations(MFBSs).Two groups of orthogonally polarized signals are injected into a semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA),and subsequently ten new different wavelengths are generated via four-wave mix-ing(FWM)effect.At each MFBS,different wavelengths are filtered out using demultiplexer and then input to a photodiode(PD)to generate the mm-wave signals with the frequencies from 52 GHz to 68 GHz at the interval of 2 GHz.Simulation results verify that the proposed multiple-frequency generation for MFBS RoF system can work properly.
