Quadrature Mismatch Shaping for Digital-to-Analog Converters

Quadrature sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters require a feedback path for both the I and the Q parts of the complex feedback signal. If two separate multibit feedback digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are used, mismatch among the unit DAC elements leads to additional mismatch noise in the output spectrum as well as an I/Q imbalance. This paper proposes new quadrature bandpass (QBP) mismatch shaping techniques. In our approach, the I and Q DACs are merged into one complex DAC, which leads to near-perfect I/Q balance. To select the unit DAC elements of the complex multibit DAC, the well-known butterfly shuffler and tree structure are generalized towards a complex structure, and necessary constraints for their correct functioning are derived. Next, a very efficient first-order QBP shaper implementation is proposed. Finally, the newly presented complex structures are simulated to prove their effectiveness and are compared with each other with respect to performance     

The possibility of new high-transmission,high finesse,Perot-Fabry interferometers for far ir spectroscopy

Finesse as high as 260 and peak transmission close to 98% at frequencies around 30 cm^?1 are predicted at 10 K by coating the Perot-Fabry (PF) mirrors with a suitable thickness of High Tc (HTC) superconductor YBaCuO. In fact, Finesse will be limited by the lack of parallelism and the lack of perfect flatness of the mirrors to values around 100. These predictions are based upon phenomenological models for both the YBaCuO coating and the MgO support, i.e. from direct transmission measurements of MgO and YBaCuO in the Far IR, which had to be fitted by the models.     

电子束和接触式曝光机的混合曝光技术

Ⅰ线光致抗蚀剂可以同时实用电子束和光学系统曝光，在50kV加速电压下，其曝光剂量为50-100μC/cm^2，曝光后在0.7%NaOH溶液内显影1分钟。其灵敏度比PMMA快5倍，分辩率为0.5μm。采用两方法制备CaAsPHEMT：一种用Ⅰ线光致抗蚀剂，对源、漏及栅全部都采用电子束曝光，制备了0.5μm栅长的GaAs PHEMT；另一种将源、漏及栅分割成两部分，其中精细部分由电子束曝光，其余部分由光学系统曝光，用这种方法制备了0.25μm栅长的GaAs PHEMT。Ⅰ

Carbon precipitation and diffusion in SiGeC alloys under silicon self-interstitial injection

In this work we investigate the diffusion and precipitation of supersaturated substitutional carbon in 200-nm-thick SiGeC layers buried under a silicon cap layer of 40 nm. The samples were annealed in either inert (N₂) or oxidizing (O₂) ambient at 850 °C for times ranging from 2 to 10 h. The silicon self-interstitial (I) flux coming from the surface under oxidation enhances the C diffusion with respect to the N₂-annealed samples. In the early stages of the oxidation process, the loss of C from the SiGeC layer by diffusion across the layer/cap interface dominates. This phenomenon saturates after an initial period (2–4 h), which depends on the C concentration. This saturation is due to the formation and growth of C-containing precipitates that are promoted by the I injection and act as a sink for mobile C atoms. The influence of carbon concentration on the competition between precipitation and diffusion is discussed.

Generic replica symmetric field-theory for short range Ising spin glasses

Symmetry considerations and a direct, Hubbard-Stratonovich type, derivation are used to construct a replica field-theory relevant to the study of the spin glass transition of short range models in a magnetic field. A mean-field treatment reveals that two different types of transitions exist, whenever the replica number n is kept larger than zero. The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick critical point in zero magnetic field between the paramagnet and replica magnet (a replica symmetric phase with a nonzero spin glass order parameter) separates from the de Almeida-Thouless line, along which replica symmetry breaking occurs. We argue that for studying the de Almeida-Thouless transition around the upper critical dimension d = 6, it is necessary to use the generic cubic model with all the three bare masses and eight cubic couplings. The critical role n may play is also emphasized. To make perturbative calculations feasible, a new representation of the cubic interaction is introduced. To illustrate the method, we compute the masses in one-loop order. Some technical details and a list of vertex rules are presented to help future renormalisation-group calculations.

用迭代法消除数字图像放大后的模糊

用迭代法对数字图像经过插值放大后产生的模糊问题进行了研究，把数字图像插值放大造成的模糊看成是点扩散函数与清晰图像卷积的结果，根据插值算法可以得到点扩散函数，由于数字图像解卷积是典型的解线性方程组的问题，用雅可比（Jacobi）迭代法得到了很好的结果。与频谱空间变换的方法相比，迭代法没有分母为0的问题和空间变换过程造成的舍入误差。     

Hopf algebra actions

Finite groups acting on rings by automorphisms, and group-graded rings are instances of Hopf algebras H acting on H-module algebras A. We study such actions. Let A^H = {a ε A¦h · A = (h) a, all h ε H}, the ring of H-invariants, and form the smash product A # H. We study the ring extensions A^H A A # H. We prove a Maschke-type theorem for A # H-modules. We form an associated Morita context [A^H, A, A, A # H] and use these to get connections between the various rings.
