Assessing Earthquake Forecast Performance Based on b Value in Yunnan Province,China

Many studies have shown that b values tend to decrease prior to large earthquakes. To evaluate the forecast information in b value variations, we conduct a systematic assessment in Yunnan Province, China, where the seismicity is intense and moderate–large earthquakes occur frequently. The catalog in the past two decades is divided into four time periods (January 2000–December 2004, January 2005–December 2009, January 2010–December 2014, and January 2015–December 2019). The spatial b values are calculated for each 5-year span and then are used to forecast moderate-large earthquakes (M ≥ 5.0) in the subsequent period. As the fault systems in Yunnan Province are complex, to avoid possible biases in b value computation caused by different faulting regimes when using the grid search, the hierarchical space–time point-process models (HIST-PPM) proposed by Ogata are utilized to estimate spatial b values in this study. The forecast performance is tested by Molchan error diagram (MED) and the efficiency is quantified by probability gain (PG) and probability difference (PD). It is found that moderate–large earthquakes are more likely to occur in low b regions. The MED analysis shows that there is considerable precursory information in spatial b values and the forecast efficiency increases with magnitude in the Yunnan Province. These results suggest that the b value might be useful in middle- and long-term earthquake forecasts in the study area.     

Wide-Angle Ultra-Broadband Metamaterial Absorber with Polarization-Insensitive Characteristics

An ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is developed,which is polarized-insensitive and angular-stable.Three layers of square resistive films comprise the proposed metamaterial.The optimal values of geometric parameters are obtained,such that the designed absorber can achieve an ultra-broadband absorption response from 4.73 to 39.04 GHz(relative bandwidth of 156.7%)for both transverse electricity and transverse magnetic waves.Moreover,impedance matching theory and an equivalent circuit model are utilized for the absorption mechanism analysis.The compatibility of equivalent circuit calculation results,together with both full-wave simulation and experimental results,demonstrates the excellent performance and applicability of the proposed metamaterial absorber.

基于差分Pattern时延差编码和海豚whistles信号的仿生水声通信技术研究

为解决传统的隐蔽水声通信方法带来的通信性能降低问题, 提出了一种将差分 Pattern 时延差编码通信体制与海豚whistles信号相结合的仿生水声通信技术. 海豚whistles信号频带较窄且各信息码元间隔不等、码元之间互相关性较弱, 选取whistles信号作同步码和Pattern 码, 并以相邻whistles信号之间的时延差值携带信息. 这种仿生的水声通信信号不易被敌方探测、截获, 且差分Pattern时延差特殊的编码方式也不易使信息被破译, 因此该水声通信技术具有较强的隐蔽性和保密性, 且在抗码间干扰以及抗多普勒效应方面具有优异性能. 本文对系统进行了水池实验, 在信噪比为0 dB、存在相对运动时实现了通信速率为67 bit/s的低误码数据传输, 验证了系统的有效性、稳健性和隐蔽性. 关键词： 仿生水声通信 差分Pattern时延差编码 海豚whistles信号 隐蔽性
