Closed-form analysis for indirect learning digital pre-distorter for wideband wireless systems

Indirect learning architecture (ILA) for digital pre-distortion (DPD) is commonly used to linearize power amplifiers (PA). To the author’s best knowledge, most of the DPD results in the literature obtain the matrix form of the least-square solution in order to get the DPD coefficients numerically. There exists no explicit closed-form for these coefficients that can be used as plug-and-play in simulations, or used for further closed-form analysis of important measures such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE), bit-error rate (BER), …etc. In this paper, we analyze the ILA-DPD system for general memory-polynomial PA models. We provide a closed-form solution for the DPD coefficients. We first present the analytical methodology for deriving the mathematical expressions for each DPD coefficient and then introduce an open-access code that generates the DPD coefficients in symbolic form that is used to mathematically model the DPD. We consider case studies for PA and show that the analytical DPD solution matches the Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, we also provide a closed-form solution for the iterative adaptive ILA-DPD. Our analysis shows that in the case of a large training block length the non-iterative DPD achieves approximately the same performance as an iterative DPD with a shorter training block length. System impairments are also considered, e.g. the thermal noise and the quantization noise in analog–digital conversion (ADC). We derive the normalized mean square error (NMSE) for the transmit chain in the presence of these impairments. The NMSE expression is verified through numerical simulations.     

冷原子荧光光谱中数字基线估计方法的研究

水体中汞的存在形态有单质汞、无机汞和有机汞三种。其中,甲基汞是主要的有机汞形态,毒性远高于单质汞和无机汞。测量水体中的甲基汞的方法有很多,冷原子荧光光谱法是测量水体中甲基汞的推荐方法。冷原子荧光光谱法是原子发射光谱法和原子吸收光谱法综合发展而来的元素分析方法。经过多年的发展与完善,是元素分析最常用的分析技术之一,具有灵敏度高、检出限低等特点,被广泛应用于环境科学、生命科学、地质等领域。由于检测仪器的背景噪声和色谱柱分离效果的影响,冷原子荧光光谱出现基线漂移和信号拖尾等干扰因素,严重影响冷原子荧光光谱数据的峰面积计算和痕量甲基汞的定量分析。其中,基线漂移是最主要干扰因素。目前,改进模拟器件参数和数字基线估计是解决基线漂移的的两种重要手段。在改进模拟器件参数方面,有激发光源使用空心阴极汞灯、闭环控制的热阴极低压汞灯等,但存在实验设备复杂、成本高昂等缺陷;在数字基线估计方面,有最小二乘法、差值拟合法等,但存在基线估计不稳,含量计算不准等缺点。基于此,提出了一种基于小波变换的数字基线估计方法。首先,分析甲基汞的冷原子荧光光谱微观信号和基线漂移现象,建立冷原子荧光光谱信号和基线漂移数理模型;其次,根据冷原子荧光光谱信号模型的特点,以小波变换为研究基础,研究合适的母小波模型,将母小波模型与基线漂移模型进行卷积,卷积结果恒为零,理论上证明了基线漂移现象经过小波变换后会被消除;再次,以100 pg标样甲基汞为例,实验验证了小波变换能够有效地消除基线漂移的干扰和信号拖尾的影响;最后,在仪器相对标准差（RSD）为1.29%~3.40%的条件下,对0,10,20,50,100,500以及1 000 pg的标样甲基汞溶液进行5次重复实验,分别建立小波变换前后峰面积平均值校准曲线,校准曲线的相关系数（R2）由小波变换前的0.994提高到小波变换后的0.997。实验结果表明,该方法能够有效地消除测量仪器基线漂移和信号拖尾的影响,提升了系统测量准确性。     

Wavelet filtering applied to time-average digital speckle pattern interferometry fringes

In this paper we are presenting a filtering scheme using Symlet wavelet to remove the speckle noise from the time-averaged digital speckle pattern interferometry fringes. To demonstrate the potential of Symlet wavelet filtering, experiments are conducted to remove the speckle noise from the fringes recorded for the surface of computer hard disk. Experimental results demonstrate that this filtering removes the speckle noise to the large extent.     

Creep deformation measurement using quartz optical fiber

This paper describes an optical system for high temperature creep strain measurement using quartz optical fiber, super long working distance microscope and digital image processing techniques. In this system one end of the quartz optical fibers is arrayed in a small area on the specimen surface and the other end is illuminated by a laser beam. The fiber ends on the specimen surface form the spot array. The small optical spots on the specimen are tracked by a CCD camera and the images are processed by digital image processing software. The diameter of each quartz fiber is 100 μm and the fibers can be arrayed in a small area. The local strains are determined by measuring the variety of relative distance between two spots. Experimental results of local creep strain on the welding joints of 15CrMo and HK40 at 850°C are obtained.     

Lensless Fourier holography for digital holographic interferometry on biological samples

Digital holography as a tool for highly sensitive, interferometric non-destructive testing has several advantages compared to holographic measurements based on conventional storage media like an all-digital processing and a direct access to the phase of the object wave. Experimental results of interferometric investigations of heart valve bio-prostheses with a setup for lensless Fourier holography are presented which demonstrate that this technique is applicable to such biological samples with their wet and unstable surfaces. Limitations on size and resolution of the reconstructed object caused by the properties of the CCD sensor are discussed.     

Surface contouring by phase-shifting digital holography

Surface contouring by phase-shifting digital holography is proposed that provides surface height from a change of reconstructed object phases due to the tilt of object illumination. Surface height from a reference plane is directly obtained from the phase change. Its sensitivity depends on the tilt angle as well as on the initial incident angle. By proper selection of the angles we can derive surface height without phase unwrapping. The sensitivity can be enhanced by increasing the tilt angle. Then we need phase unwrapping that is sensitive to noise due to laser speckles in the reconstructed images. This noise could be suppressed by selecting phase values at points of the maximum product of amplitudes before and after the illumination change in the course of data reduction from 1024×1024 to 512×512 and by selecting paths for phase unwrapping by looking for the intensity maximum. The observed height resolution is 20 μm. Effects of numerical focusing have also been investigated. The present method has the same sensitivity as the fringe projection method, but it has larger measurement depth and is also applicable to the deformation measurement with the same arrangement.     

The determination of material parameters of microcomponents using digital holography

Progresses in microsystem technology promise a lot of new applications in industry and research. However, the increased complexity of the microsystems demand sensitive and robust measurement techniques. Fullfield and non invasive methods are desirable to get access to spatially resolved material properties and parameters.This contribution describes a simple and fast interferometric method for the analysis of shape and deformation of small objects by optical means. These quantities together with a well defined loading of the components can be the starting point for the determination of material parameters like Poisson-ratio, Young's modulus or the thermal expansion coefficient. Holographic interferometry and multiple wavelength contouring as well as multiple source point contouring are precise enough to fulfill the requests for precision and resolution in microsystem technology even on complex shaped structures with steps or gapsA new adaptive, iterative algorithm is developed and applied to the measured results that allows the numerical evaluation of the phase data to get absolute shape and deformation information in Cartesian coordinates. Surfaces with holes, gaps and steps can be registered without any ambiguities. Digital holography as the underlying holographic recording mechanism is extremely suitable for small objects and lead to simple and compact setups in which the objects’ shape as well as their deformation behavior can be recorded. Experiments using silicon microbeams and an object from fine mechanics are described to show the great potential of these fast and robust measurement techniques with respect to the determination of material parameters.
