The device is characterized by a charge island layer on the interface of the top silicon layer and the dielectric buried layer in which a series of equidistant high concentration n＋-regions is inserted. Inversion holes resulting from the vertical electric field are located in the spacing between two neighbouring n＋-regions on the interface by the force with ionized donors in the undepleted n＋-regions, and therefore effectively enhance the electric field of the dielectric buried layer （Ei） and increase the breakdown voltage （BV）, thereby alleviating the self-heating effect （SHE） by the silicon window under the source. An analytical model of the vertical interface electric field for the CI PSOI is presented and the analytical results are in good agreement with the 2D simulation results. The BV and El of the CI PSOI LDMOS increase to 631 V and 584 V/μm from 246 V and 85.8 V/μm for the conventional PSOI with a lower SHE, respectively. The effects of the structure parameters on the device characteristics are analysed for the proposed device in detail.展开更多

This paper focuses on a LDPC encoded slow frequency hopping (SFH) communication system with partial-band interference. Firstly, a modified soft- decision algorithm based on the utilization of interference information is proposed, and its performance is compared with some other soft-decision methods. Secondly, with numerical simulation, the influence of code rate, code length and the number of symbols per hops on the performance of the system with partial band noise interference is illustrated and examined in detail. Considering the great influence of hops per symbol on the performance, interleaver should be used and its influence on the performance is further examined by simulation. Finally, some constructive advises for the design of LDPC coded SFH system are given. Simulation results show that, with a reasonable design, the SFH system with LDPC code could achieve a desirable performance.展开更多

For baseline assessment participants sat on the vibration platform without vibration. Both training conditions consisted of five series of a one-minute vibration training and a one-minutebreak between them. In this experimental study surface electromyography(EMG) of the erector spinae(ES), one of the back muscles, and heart rate variability(HRV) was measured at baseline and during training. Balance and flexibility were assessed at baseline and immediately after training. Balance was measured with the modified star excursion balance test(mS EBT) and flexibility was assessed through the modified fingertip-to-floor method(mF TF).RESULTS Paired sample t-test showed a significant increase in balance that was restricted to STOCH(t =-2.22, P = 0.018; SIN: t =-0.09, P = 0.466). An increase in flexibility was also restricted to STOCH(t = 2.65, P = 0.007; SIN: t = 1.41, P = 0.086). There was no significant change of muscle activity in the ES-EMG in STOCH or SIN conditions. In both training conditions, HRV decreased significantly, but remained in a low-load range(STOCH: t = 2.89, P = 0.004; SIN: t = 2.55, P = 0.009).CONCLUSION In sitting position, stochastic resonance partial-body vibration can improve balance and flexibility while cardiovascular load is low. STOCH can be a valuable training option to people who are unable to stand(e.g., people, who are temporarily wheelchair-bound).展开更多

A high concentration of charges accumulate on the interface, whose density changes with the negative drain voltage, which increase the electric field （Er） in the dielectric buried oxide layer （BOX） and modulate the electric field in drift region . This results in the enhancement of the breakdown voltage （BV）. The values of E1 and BV of an HI PSOI with a 2-~m thick SOI layer over a 1-~tm thick buried layer are 580V/~m and -582 V, respectively, compared with 81.5 V/p.m and -123 V of a conventional PSOI. Furthermore, the Si window also alleviates the self-heating effect （SHE）. Moreover, in comparison with the conventional device, the proposed device exhibits low on-resistance.展开更多

Unbalance power control means that different traffics can achieve different CIR at receivers. This paper proposes a forward link partial-balance power control algorithm, which can provide necessary Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffics in Wideband CDMA(W-CDMA) systems. The proposed algorithm is the integration of grading traffics priority and allocating and adjusting forward link power levels. For higher priority traffics, the unbalance power control is used. Whereas for lower priority traffics, balance power control is adopted. Computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee the special QoS requirements of the traffics with higher priority orders and maximize the CIR of the traffics with lower priority orders.展开更多

A decoding scheme for joint erasures of severely jammed symbols and error correction is proposed. If an uncorrectable error is detected, the receiver erases the jammed symbols and uses incremental redundancy to increase the error-correcting capability. The performance of LT codes, under power-oppressive partial band noise jamming （ PB- N J） with the additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN）, is evaluated via simulation. Even if the jam- mer spreads its high power over half of the hopping bandwidth, LT codes are shown to achieve a tar- get bit error probability of 10 -5, demonstrating their effectiveness as high-performance codes to im- prove the ability of FH systems to combat varying partial band noise jamming.展开更多
