Reduction of signal reflection along through silicon via channel in high-speed three-dimensional integration circuit

The through silicon via （TSV） technology has proven to be the critical enabler to realize a three-dimensional （3D） gigscale system with higher performance but shorter interconnect length. However, the received digital signal after trans- mission through a TSV channel, composed of redistribution layers （RDLs）, TSVs, and bumps, is degraded at a high data-rate due to the non-idealities of the channel. We propose the Chebyshev multisection transformers to reduce the signal reflec- tion of TSV channel when operating frequency goes up to 20 GHz, by which signal reflection coefficient （$11） and signal transmission coefficient （$21） are improved remarkably by 150% and 73.3%, respectively. Both the time delay and power dissipation are also reduced by 4% and 13.3%, respectively. The resistance-inductance-conductance-capacitance （RLGC） elements of the TSV channel are iterated from scattering （S）-parameters, and the proposed method of weakening the signal reflection is verified using high frequency simulator structure （HFSS） simulation software by Ansoft.

Analysis of reflected signal of quad rotor UAV based on model fitting in mobile communication system

In view of the many scenes of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)detection,a third-party signal source is used to design a receiver to monitor the UAV.It is of great significance to understand the reflection of the signal illuminating the UAV.Taking the communication base station(BS)signal as the third-party signal source,and considering the complete transmission link,reflection changes and loss fading of the communication signal,this study conducts model fitting for irregular UAV targets,simplifying complex targets into a combination of simple targets.Furthermore,the influence of the dielectric constant of the target surface and the signal irradiation angle on the signal reflection is analyzed.The analysis shows that the simulation results of this model fitting method are consistent with the results of other literature,which provides theoretical support for the detection of low and slow small targets such as UAVs.

Precise calibration of cavity forward and reflected signals using low-level radio-frequency system

Precise measurements of the cavity forward(Vf)and reflected signals(Vr)are essential for characterizing other key parameters such as the cavity detuning and forward power.In practice,it is challenging to measure V_(f) and V_(r) precisely because of cross talk between the forward and reflected channels(e.g.,coupling between the cavity reflected and forward signals in a directional coupler with limited directivity).For DESY,a method based on the cavity differential equation was proposed to precisely calibrate the actual V_(f) and V_(r).In this study,we verified the validity and practicability of this approach for the Chinese ADS front-end demo superconducting linac(CAFe)facility at the Institute of Modern Physics and a compact energy recovery linac(cERL)test machine at KEK.At the CAFe facility,we successfully calibrated the actual V_(f) signal using this method.The result demonstrated that the directivity of directional couplers might seriously affect the accuracy of V_(f) measurement.At the cERL facility,we calibrated the Lorentz force detuning(LFD)using the actual Vf.Our study confirmed that the precise calibration of V_(f) significantly improves the accuracy of the cavity LFD measurement.

Simulation of Multi-satellite GNSS Reflected Signals and Design of Simulator

Using GNSS-R technology for remote sensing of surface parameters has become a new trend in the field of remote sensing.With the rapid development of GNSS-R technology,GNSS-R simulation has become one of the new hot spots.Now the researches of the GNSS-R simulation are all the simulations that consider a single star or a single frequency point,and in actual applications,the signal captured by the receiver is often the reflected signals of multiple stars.In view of this situation,from the perspective of multi-satellite simulation,this paper gives the model of GNSS-R multi-satellite ocean simulation on the basis of analyzing the remote sensing principle,reflection signal model and simulation principle of GNSS-R technology.Based on the GNSS-R multi-satellite ocean simulation model and the fast parallel computing capability of GPU,the GNSS-R multi-satellite ocean simulator was designed.Finally,the direct and reflected signals generated by the GNSS-R multi-satellite simulator were tested and verified.The results show that the positioning result of the direct signal meets the positioning accuracy requirements;The delay-related power results obtained from the simulated two-satellite reflected signals processing are in good agreement with the theoretical model,and the correlation coefficients are all above 0.99;The generated signals are used for GNSS-R height measurement technology,the height measurement error is about 1.4~1.8 m,which is in line with the accuracy of the C/A code ranging receiver;And the parallel operation of the GPU for multi-satellite simulation calculation is 800—900 times higher than the traditional CPU calculation.It proves that the proposed model and the designed simulator are feasible and accurate.

Impedance matching for the reduction of signal reflection in high speed multilevel three-dimensional integrated chips

In high speed three-dimensional integrated circuits （3D ICs）, through silicon via （TSV） insertion causes impedance discontinuities along the interconnect-TSV channel that results in signal reflection. As demonstrated for a two-plane interconnect structure connected by a TSV, we incorporate an appropriate capacitance at the junction to mitigate the signal reflection with gigascale frequencies. Based on 65 nm technology and S-parameter analysis, the decrease of signal reflection can be 189% at the tuned frequency of 5 GHz. Extending this method to the five-plane interconnect structure further, the reduction of signal reflection can achieve 400%. So we could broaden this method to any multilevel 3D interconnect structures. This method can also be applied to a circuit with tunable operating frequencies by digitally connecting the corresponding matching capacitance into the circuit through switches. There are remarkable improvements of the quality of the transmitting signals.

Research on direct-path interference suppression for bistatic radar based on GNSS reflected from the ocean surface

The use of global navigation satellite system signals reflected by the sea surface as a remote sensing tool has received considerable attention for over a decade. However, in signal detection processing, the direct-path interference can potentially introduce a bigger obstacle to ocean surface detection than other interferences, such as clutter and radio signals. In order to improve retrieval of the ocean surface parameters, the direct-path interference signals have to be suppressed. The interference suppression based on the improved subspace projection algorithm is put forward in this paper. First of all, the interferential signal is acquired and tracked, then according to the acquired interferential signal parameter, the corresponding disturbance subspace is constructed. Finally, the interference is eliminated using the improved subspace block projection. This method can not only reduce the influence of interferential performance by the tracking error but also decrease computation greatly. It suits the changeable environment and the multi-data sample situation. The analysis of the simulated results has confirmed the validity of this method and provided a basis for the following system optimization design.
