Influence of CaF_2 on the structure and dielectric properties of Ag(Nb_(0.8)Ta_(0.2))O_3 ceramics

Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 ceramics were prepared by the traditional solid-state reaction method. The effect of CaF2 addition on the structure and dielectric properties of Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 ceramics was investigated. The addition of CaF2 led the ceramics to a larger grain size and distortion of lattice. With the addition of 4.5 wt.% CaF2, the permittivity of the ceramics increased from 442 to 1028, the dielectric loss decreased sharply from 6.12 × 10^-3 to 8.6 × 10^-4, and the temperature coefficient of capacitance decreased from 1834 ppm/℃ to -50 ppm/℃ （at 1 MHz）. These results indicated that the high permittivity was related with a large grain size, a low grain boundary density, and the weak Ta-O or Nb-O bond strength caused by the addition of CaF2.

Production of ZnO Nanobelts and Meso-Scale Study of Mechanical Properties

We investigate a peculiar phenomenon by processing ZnO nanobelts with an atomic force microscope （AFM）. In the contact mode of AFM, peculiar bending occurs in meso-scale when the nanobelt is applied with force in lateral direction. We study the mechanical properties of ZnO nanobelts under the influence of small size effect, with finite element analysis and mathematical analysis by means of Matlab. Based on this abnormal effect, a novel measuring method is proposed, which allows the surface morphology and surface properties to be characterized at the same time.

Improved Method of Contention-Based Random Access in LTE System

Random access is the necessary process to establish the wireless link between the user equipment （UE） and network. The performance of the random access directly affects the performance of the network. In this work, we propose a method on the basis of the existing alternatives. In this method, we estimate the system load in advance to adjust the number of terminals. An access threshold is set to control the number of terminals which want to access the base station at an acceptable level. At the same time, we havean improvement on the existing power climbing strategy. We suppose that the power ramping is not always necessary for the re-access. And the selection ofpower ramping steps is studied in this paper. Simulations based on MATLAB are employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed solution and to make comparisons with existing alternatives.

Moreover, by using CK mode, it is the fact that WAI'-E was SK-secure with PFS and was provided with independent security of certificate authentication was proved.

Evaluating of Adhesion Property of ULSI Interconnect Films by the Surface Acoustic Waves

The technique of surface acoustic waves （SAWs） is a very promising method for determining film properties such as Young＇s modulus, density and film thickness nondestructively and accurately. The dispersion property of SAWs is also affected largely from the adhesion property of films, which is revealed by the bonding spring assumption described. This SAW method could offer a quantitative evaluation of the film adhesion from the curvature of SAW dispersion lines affected by the normal and shear spring constants. The method is applied to numerically characterize the adhesion property of the typical ultra-large-scale integrated circuit interconnect layered structure of a thin Cu film deposited on the Si substrate as well as a SiO2 thin film on a Sisubstrate.

An innovative method of cooperative frequency domain differential modulation and demodulation is presented.This method applies the prior knowledge of channel propagation to selecting the variable differential length and carrying out frequency domain modulation.This strategy optimizes the design of system parameters to effectively improve the anti-interference ability of the differential system in time-varied multipath channel circumstance without making the execution more complicating.The simulations and comparisons demonstrate the proposed method is effective,and the results show that it is especially suitable for the fading channel with strong propagation and fast time-variation.

基于中继的OFDMA网络中可扩展编码视频流传输的权衡优化(英文)

To achieve an optimal trade-off between video quality and energy efficiency in the uplink streaming of multi-user Scalable Video Coding (SVC) videos in relay-based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) cellular networks, a cross-layer design framework that jointly selects the Transmission Policy (TP) for SVC video frames, assigns OFDMA subcarriers, and allocates power for each subcarrier is proposed. We apply the dual decomposition method to the problem, and obtain a TP selection subproblem for each SVC video adaptation and a resource allocation subproblem of Joint Subcarrier, Relay and Power Allocation (JSRPA). A second level of dual decomposition is used to divide the JSRPA problem into independent subcarrier subproblems. The proposed Crosslayer Trade-off Optimization (CTO) algorithm is sub-distributed with significantly low complexity. A performance evaluation with typical SVC video traces demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is able to converge and efficiently achieve the optimal trade-off between the video quality and energy consumption at the MSs for uplink SVC streaming.

Influence of roughness on the detection of mechanical characteristics of low-k film by the surface acoustic waves

The surface acoustic wave （SAW） technique is a precise and nondestructive method to detect the mechanical charac- teristics of the thin low dielectric constant （low-k） film by matching the theoretical dispersion curve with the experimental dispersion curve. In this paper, the influence of sample roughness on the precision of SAW mechanical detection is inves- tigated in detail. Random roughness values at the surface of low-k film and at the interface between this low-k film and the substrate are obtained by the Monte Carlo method. The dispersive characteristic of SAW on the layered structure with rough surface and rough interface is modeled by numerical simulation of finite element method. The Young＇s moduli of the Black DiamondTM samples with different roughness values are determined by SAWs in the experiment. The results show that the influence of sample roughness is very small when the root-mean-square （RMS） of roughness is smaller than 50 nm and correlation length is smaller than 20 μm. This study indicates that the SAW technique is reliable and precise in the nondestructive mechanical detection for low-k films.

The effect of intragranular microstress in A1203-SiC nanocomposites

A theoretical model is established to investigate the intragranular particle residual stress in A1203-SiC nanocom-posites. Using this model, we calculate the average compressive stress on the A1203 grain boundary （GB） and the average tensile stress within A1203 grains caused by SiC nanoparticles. The normal compressive stress strengthens the GB, and the average tensile stress weakens the grains. The model gives a reasonable interpretation of the strength changes of A1203-SiC nanocomposites with the number of SiC particles.

Controlled growth of ZnO nanorods by polymer template and their photoluminescence properties

A large amount of one-dimensional ZnO nanorods with diameters in 15―50 nm aligned in radial cluster were successfully synthesized by polar polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as soft-template. The growth of ZnO nanorods was controlled by changing annealing temperature. The evolution of the morphology and microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron micro- scope and X-ray diffraction. It is shown that ZnO nanorods tend to be uniform and the crystallization is gradually improved with the temperature increasing from 400℃ to 700℃. The photoluminescence spectra of products show a strong ultra violet emission and relatively weak defect emissions. The sharp strong emission peak at 354 nm owing to the inter-band transition indicates the extraordinary photoluminescence property of ZnO nanorods.

空间调制系统的遍历容量分析(英文)

Spatial Modulation(SM) is a newlyintroduced wireless transmission scheme,andSpace Shift Keying(SSK) is its simplifiedversion.Their capacity performance has notbeen well examined to date.Starting frombasic definitions of information theory,through theoretical analyses and numericalcalculations,this paper evaluates the capacityof SM systems in various channels.Our conclusion is that under Rayleigh fading channels,the capacity of the SSK system is limited bythe Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR) or the number of transmit antennas,whichever one issmaller.From the capacity point of view,theSM system is better than the Single-Input andSingle-Output(SISO) system,but worse thanthe Multiple-Input and Single-Output(MISO)system.The correlation between transmit antennas will degrade the performance of theSSK system.Line-of-Sight(LOS) may causeperformance degradation for SSK,but capacity increases for SM.

A novel portable transmitter with 8 dBm output power for wireless communication equipments

In this paper,a portable 2.42 GHz transmitter for wireless communication systems,with 8dBm output power and small size is proposed.Several novel features exist in this transmitter.First,power consumption and output are balanced by introducing a differential oscillator with input signal controlled biasing,which acts as both a carrier generator and an OOK modulator.Then,power consumption of the transmitter is reduced by the OOK modulated signal via switching the oscillator and the power amplifier at the same time.Furthermore,the area size is also reduced by a class-AB power amplifier,which uses the PCB antenna as the resonance inductance.With these features,the total chip area is reduced to 670μm×740μm(In a 0.18μm CMOS process).

A SYNTHETIC ALGORITHM FOR WAVELENGTH ROUTING IN OPTICAL NETWORK

After analyzing the merits and shortcomings of Fixed-Alternated Routing algorithm (FAR) and Least Loaded Routing algorithm (LLR),we propose one novel dynamic optical routing algorithm. Having considered the influences of path’s length and path’s congestion just like in FAR and LLR,we take into account the network resource status-amount of free wavelengths in the network. Proposed algorithm sets up connections on three possible paths according to amount of available free wave-lengths in the network,which effectively decreases the blocking probability. The National Science Foundation (NSF) network and mesh-torus network simulation results show that the performance of this algorithm is better than that of FAR and LLR.

DME Interference mitigation for L-DACS1 based on system identification and sparse representation

L-band digital aeronautical communication system 1(L-DACS1) is a promising candidate data-link for future air-ground communication, but it is severely interfered by the pulse pairs(PPs) generated by distance measure equipment. A novel PP mitigation approach is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a deformed PP detection(DPPD) method that combines a filter bank, correlation detection, and rescanning is proposed to detect the deformed PPs(DPPs) which are caused by multiple filters in the receiver. Secondly, a finite impulse response(FIR) model is used to approximate the overall characteristic of filters, and then the waveform of DPP can be acquired by the original waveform of PP and the FIR model. Finally, sparse representation is used to estimate the position and amplitude of each DPP, and then reconstruct each DPP. The reconstructed DPPs will be subtracted from the contaminated signal to mitigate interference. Numerical experiments show that the bit error rate performance of our approach is about 5 dB better than that of recent works and is closer to interference-free environment.
