Field Measurements with a 5.25 GHz Broadband MIMO-OFDM Communication System

Theoretical capacity calculations and corresponding simulations show significant capacity/throughput gains from MIMO systems. Whether these gains are achievable in a real system, deployed in a practical environment, depends on a variety of factors, such as the choice of the communication algorithms, analog impairments and the "quality" of the wireless channel to sustain MEMO communications. In this paper, a 5.25 GHz broadband MIMO-OFDM testbed is described along with field measurements conducted with it. The MIMO-OFDM communication algorithms and also the impact of analog impairments on the performance of the system are described. Detailed system calibration results are described which serve as a baseline for results of field measurements. The results of wireless measurements are compared with the theoretical capacity, computed with the channel estimates obtained during the demodulation process. The average achievable capacity in the indoor wireless environment is shown to be 9.97 bps/Hz (bits per sec per Hz) while the capacity loss due to analog impairments and the choice of algorithms is about 2.33 bps/Hz. Also, field measurements conducted with the system in various environments are presented comparing the average throughput/capacity achieved in each of these environments.     

Protonation constant of salicylidene (N-benzoyl)glycyl hydrazone and its coordination behaviour towards some bivalent metal ions

Protonation constant of an unsymmetrical Schiff base, salicylidene(N-benzoyl)glycyl hydrazone (SalBzGH), and formation constants of its complexes have been determined potentiometrically at different temperatures in aqueous dioxane medium. Complexes of SalBzGH with VO(IV), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) have been prepared. Elemental analyses, pH-metric, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, electronic, IR, ESR, XRD (powder) and NMR studies have been carried out to study the coordination behaviour of SalBzGH toward these metal ions. pH-metric and 1H NMR studies show the presence of two dissociable protons in the ligand. IR and NMR spectra suggest the tridentate nature of the ligand, coordinating as a uninegative species in the Mn(II) complex and as a dinegative species in all the other complexes. Presence of two different conformers of the ligand at room temperature and stabilization of a single conformer upon complex formation have been established from¹H NMR spectra of the metal-free ligand, Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes recorded at 296 K. Electronic and ESR spectra indicate highly distorted tetragonal geometry for VO(IV) and Cu(II) complexes. XRD powder patterns of the Zn(II) complexes are indexed for an orthorhombic crystal system.

On the Strong Law of Large Numbers and the Law of the Logarithm for Weighted Sums of Independent Random Variables with Multidimensional Indices

Let (X, X ; ^d} be a field of independent identically distributed real random variables, 0 < p < 2, and {a _, ; ( , ) ^d × ^d, ≤ } a triangular array of real numbers, where ^d is the d-dimensional lattice. Under the minimal condition that sup _, |a _, | < ∞, we show that | |^{− 1/p} ∑ _≤ a _, X → 0 a.s. as | | → ∞ if and only if E(|X|^p(L|X|)^{d − 1}) < ∞ provided d ≥ 2. In the above, if 1 ≤ p < 2, the random variables are needed to be centered at the mean. By establishing a certain law of the logarithm, we show that the Law of the Iterated Logarithm fails for the weighted sums ∑ _≤ a _, X under the conditions that EX = 0, EX² < ∞, and E(X²(L|X|)^{d − 1}/L₂|X|) < ∞ for almost all bounded families {a _, ; ( , ) ^d × ^d, ≤ of numbers.     

Fractional extensions of some boundary value problems in oil strata

In the present paper, we solve three boundary value problems related to the temperature field in oil strata — the fractional extensions of the incomplete lumped formulation and lumped formulation in the linear case and the fractional generalization of the incomplete lumped formulation in the radial case. By using the Caputo differintegral operator and the Laplace transform, the solutions are obtained in integral forms where the integrand is expressed in terms of the convolution of some auxiliary functions of Wright function type. A generalization of the Laplace transform convolution theorem, known as Efros’ theorem is widely used.

Valence band and chemical interactions of Zn/CdSnAs2 interfaces

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) together with argon ion sputtering was used to investigate the interface of the Zn/CdSnAs₂ system at various temperatures. The formation of an intermediate compound between Zn and As is proposed. The surface enrichment of Cd and Sn at 200 and 400°C is explained in terms of bond breaking and lattice strain theories.NCL Communication No. 4352     

Effect of60Co gamma radiation on La2CuO4

The effect of⁶⁰Co -radiation on La₂CuO₄ solid catalyst prepared by the ceramic method has been studied. Gamma irradiation of La₂CuO₄ samples has been found to increase the Cu⁺ content, electrical conductivities and decrease the magnetic susceptibilities of the catalyst. The results have been interpreted on the basis of the crystal field model of the structure of La₂CuO₄.
