Improvement of Ultra‐wideband Link Performance over Bands Requiring Interference Mitigation in Korea

Ultra‐wideband (UWB) systems have witnessed a debate over whether they may cause interference to other existing and future narrowband systems sharing their band of operation. The detect and avoid (DAA) mechanism was developed as a solution to reduce interference to narrowband systems in order to ease regulatory concerns. It works by adaptively reducing the transmitted power at the overlapping bands upon detecting an active narrowband link. However, employing DAA degrades the performance of UWB transmissions. In this paper, we present the Korean UWB regulations as an example of regulations that require DAA in certain bands. We investigate DAA's impact on performance and propose a method to mitigate it, which provides UWB with the more efficient support of the DAA mechanism and enables it to avoid a larger number of narrowband users while sustaining the data rate. Results show significant improvement in performance with the application of our technique compared to conventional performance.     

配体尺度对配合物结构及光催化降解活性的调节:从零维到一维的Cu(Ⅱ)配合物

合成了桥联吡啶类配体2,6-二(3′-吡啶乙炔基)-4-甲基苯胺(L1)和未见文献报道的尺度更短的桥联吡啶配体2,6-二(3′-吡啶基)-4-甲基苯胺(L2),在常温下分别将其与一水合醋酸铜(Cu(OAc)2·H2O,OAc-=CH3CO2-)进行配位反应获得零维的配位大环分子[Cu2(L1)(OAc)4]2(1)和一维的配位聚合物{[Cu2(L2)(OAc)4]·2CH2Cl2·CH3CN}n(2)。对获得的2个配合物进行了X射线单晶衍射、傅里叶红外光谱、元素分析等方面的结构表征。对比其结构可以发现,配合物1和2中均存在{Cu2(OAc)4}的二核铜簇,不同的是2个配合物中配体的配位取向不同:配位大环化合物1中的配体L1以U型构型与二核铜簇形成了“2+2”的平面配位大环结构,而化合物2中的配体L2则以Z型构型连接相邻的二核铜簇形成一维链状结构。2个化合物的结构差异是由于配体的尺度导致的,更短的尺度使得配位氮原子取向发生改变而产生不同的配位构型,这显示了结构调控中配体尺度的影响作用。通过测定配体与配合物在固态下的荧光发射性质,证实了铜的引入会猝灭配体自身的荧光发射;同时,采用亚甲基蓝(MB)为底物的光催化降解实验证明,大环配位分子的光催化降解活性明显优于一维配位聚合物,两者的催化活性均远远强于醋酸铜本身的催化活性。

A 0.13 μm CMOS UWB RF Transmitter with an On‐Chip T/R Switch

This paper presents a fully integrated 0.13 μm CMOS MB‐OFDM UWB transmitter chain (mode 1). The proposed transmitter consists of a low‐pass filter, a variable gain amplifier, a voltage‐to‐current converter, an I/Q up‐mixer, a differential‐to‐single‐ended converter, a driver amplifier, and a transmit/receive (T/R) switch. The proposed T/R switch shows an insertion loss of less than 1.5 dB and a Tx/Rx port isolation of more than 27 dB over a 3 GHz to 5 GHz frequency range. All RF/analog circuits have been designed to achieve high linearity and wide bandwidth. The proposed transmitter is implemented using IBM 0.13 μm CMOS technology. The fabricated transmitter shows a ?3 dB bandwidth of 550 MHz at each sub‐band center frequency with gain flatness less than 1.5 dB. It also shows a power gain of 0.5 dB, a maximum output power level of 0 dBm, and output IP3 of +9.3 dBm. It consumes a total of 54 mA from a 1.5 V supply.

Synchronous fluorescence determination of DNA based on the interaction between methylene blue and DNA

The fluorescence intensity of methylene blue (MB) quenched by DNA in the pH range of 6.5-8.0 was studied with synchronous fluorescence technology. A novel method for detecting single-stranded and double-stranded DNA was developed. The decreased fluorescence intensity at 664 nm is in proportion to the concentration of DNA in the range of 0.28-11.0 μmol L⁻¹ for ctDNA, 0.14-8.25 μmol L⁻¹ for thermally denatured ctDNA and 0.28-8.25 μmol L⁻¹ for hsDNA. The detection limits (S/N = 3) are 0.11, 0.04 and 0.04 μmol L⁻¹, respectively. The method is rapid, selective, and the reagents are lower toxic. It has been used for the determination of DNA in synthetic samples with good satisfaction. In addition, the interaction modes between MB and ctDNA and the mechanism of the fluorescence quenching were also discussed in detail. The experimental results from absorption spectra and fluorescence polarization indicate that the possible interaction modes between MB and DNA are the electrostatic binding and the intercalation binding.     

Preparation of an ion-exchangeable polymer bead wrapped with bilayer membrane structures for high performance liquid chromatography

We synthesized a chromatographic packing material that has a non-covalently attached dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP) bilayer membrane structure on a CA08S, a nonporous-type cationic polymer bead with a diameter ranging from 11 to 14 μm. Confocal fluorescence microscopic and differential scanning calorimetric analyses of the DHP-CA08S complex revealed that the DHP bilayer membrane structures were formed on the surface of the CA08S polymer beads. When the functionality of the DHP-CA08S complex was evaluated in the ion-exchange HPLC of proteins, the retention behavior of the proteins on the DHP-CA08S complex column totally mirrored the anionic property of the DHP bilayer membrane surface, not the cationic property of the CA08S bead. Methylene blue (MB) was eluted from the DHP-CA08S complex column in the isocratic elution mode, but not at all from a CK08S column, a styrene-divinylbenzene based cation-exchange polymer. When the column temperature was elevated from 50 to 60 °C, the peak shape of MB on the DHP-CA08S complex column became fairly sharp without a change in its peak area, which mirrored the characteristic phase transition of the DHP bilayer membrane formed on the DHP-CA08S complex.     

Magnetic beads as versatile tools for electrochemical DNA and protein biosensing

Magnetic beads (MBs) are versatile tools in the separation of nucleic acids, proteins and other biomacromolecules, their complexes and cells. In this article recent application of MBs in electrochemical biosensing and particularly in the development of DNA hybridization sensors is reviewed. In these sensors MBs serve not only for separation but also as a platform for optimized DNA hybridization. A hybridization event is detected separately at another surface, which is an electrode. The detection is based either on the intrinsic DNA electroactivity or on various kinds of DNA labeling, including chemical modification, enzyme tags, nanoparticles, electroactive beads, etc., greatly amplifying the signals measured. In addition to DNA hybridization, other kinds of biosensing in combination with MBs, such as DNA-protein interactions, are reviewed.

Delay and crosstalk reliability issues in mixed MWCNT bundle interconnects

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) bundles have potentially provided attractive solution in nanoscale VLSI interconnects. In current fabrication process, it is not trivial to grow a densely packed bundle having MWCNTs with similar number of shells. A realistic nanotube bundle, in fact, is a mixed CNT bundle consisting of MWCNTs of different diameters. This research paper presents an analytical model of mixed CNT bundle wherein MWCNTs having different number of shells are densely packed. Two different types of MWCNT bundles are presented: (1) MB that contains MWCNTs with similar number of shells (i.e., uniform diameters) and (2) MMB wherein MWCNTs having different number of shells (i.e., non-uniform diameters) are mixed. Multi-conductor transmission line theory is used to present an equivalent single-conductor (ESC) model of different MB and MMB configurations. Using the ESC model, performance is analyzed to address the effect of propagation delay, crosstalk and power dissipation that explores the reliability of an interconnect wire. It is observed that using an MMB arrangement, the overall reduction in delay and crosstalk are 15.33% and 29.59%, respectively, compared to the MB for almost similar power dissipation.
