Optimum design of a wideband planar N-way fork power divider with arbitrary power division and input-to-output impedance matching

An effective design procedure based on method of least squares is proposed for multi-section and multi-output fork power divider/combiner with arbitrary power division ratios among its outputs in a specified frequency bandwidth together with impedance matching among its arbitrary source/load impedances. Transmission and scattering matrices are obtained for its equivalent circuit. An error function is constructed based on design specifications on its output power division ratios, isolations among output ports, return losses at its input and output ports and source/load impedances in a desired frequency bandwidth. The design procedure is fully developed, which determines the widths and lengths of microstrip line sections and resistor values. A design example is described for unequal power division ratio and unequal input/output impedances. A 3-section and 3-output fork power divider is designed for equal power division and load/source impedances for 2–12 GHz band. It is fabricated and measured. Variations of its transmission coefficients are less than 0.5 dB, isolations at its outputs are better than −15 dB and reflection coefficients at its ports are better than −10 dB. Excellent agreement is observed among the results of the proposed design procedure, full wave computer software and measurement data.     

Efficient disparity vector prediction schemes with modified P frame for 2D camera arrays

An efficient disparity estimation algorithm for multi-view video sequences, recorded by a two-dimensional camera array in which the cameras are spaced equidistantly, is presented. Because of the strong geometrical relationship among views, the disparity vectors of a certain view can for most blocks be derived from the disparity vectors of other views. A frame constructed using that idea is called a D frame in this work. Three new prediction schemes which contain D frames are proposed for encoding 5 × 3 multi-view video sequences. The schemes are applied to several multi-view image sequences taken from a camera-array and they are compared in terms of quality, bit-rate and complexity. The experimental results show that the proposed prediction schemes significantly decrease the complexity of the encoder at a very low cost of quality and/or bit-rate.

Opinion dynamics in networks with heterogeneous confidence and influence

We propose a discrete-time model of opinion dynamics. The neighborhood relationship is decided by confidence radius and influence radius of each agent. We investigate the influence of heterogeneity in confidence/influence distribution on the behavior of the network. The simulations suggest that the heterogeneity of single confidence or influence networks can promote the opinions to achieve consensus. It is shown that the heterogeneous influence radius systems converge in fewer time steps and more often in finite time than the heterogeneous confidence radius systems. We find that heterogeneity does not always promote consensus, and there is an optimal heterogeneity so that the relative size of the largest consensus cluster reaches maximum in heterogeneous confidence and influence networks.     

Non-fullerene organic solar cells with 7% efficiency and excellent air stability through morphological and interfacial engineering

We report on the fabrication of the poly{[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl]} (PTB7) and poly{[N,N-9-bis(2-octyldodecyl)- naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,59-(2,29-bithiophene)}(P(NDI2OD-T2)) active layer combination employing air brush spray coating technique in 2-methyl anisole. Optical absorption characteristics of the blend layer were examined utilizing UV–visible spectra in the wavelength sweep varying from 300 to 900 nm. Atomic force microscopy was utilized to analyze the surface characteristics of the fabricated active layer. Under the radiance of simulated solar light with 100 mW cm⁻² (AM 1.5G), the current density voltage (J-V) characteristics were determined by employing a solar simulator. Fullerene-free organic solar cells were build using a combination of P(NDI2OD-T2) acceptor and a polymer donor PTB7 with SnO₂ acting as an interlayer, which showed power conversion efficiency (PCEs) of more than 7.0%, which is considered as the best PCEs been reported for the chosen donor and the acceptor. The device is extremely stable, holding 75% of its unique effectiveness subsequent to being put away in air for 72 days even without encapsulation. These outcomes demonstrate that the spray-coated film is a feasible contrasting option to the vacuum-deposited ITO film in terms of cost for mass production and for roll-to-roll based organic solar cells.

Power grid redundant path contribution in system on chip (SoC) robustness against electromigration

The miniaturisation of integrated circuits leads to reliability issues such as electromigration (EMG). This well-known phenomenon is checked at design level by CAD tools. The conventional EMG check methods are based on electrical parameters. However, the wire physical degradation depends also on the interconnection network structure. In order to improve the EMG check methodologies, we propose an accurate method based on failure mechanism and chip power grid configuration. Indeed, the power grid offers redundant paths in case of void in main power supply path. The principle of our method is to take into account the contribution of these redundant paths in power grid lifetime assessment. These effects are validated by silicon ageing tests on structures designed in 28 nm Full Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FDSOI). These accelerated tests results have confirmed the lifetime gain due to the redundancy. These results provide perspectives for the relaxation of wire current limits and improve the chip design toward EMG.

调频同步广播小功率多频直放站功放设计

由于遮挡等原因在调频同步广播覆盖不到某些区域,需要小功率发射机进行补点。尤其在隧道内,需要对多个频道信号进行补强。因此设计一种新型的小功率直放站,其可同时发射多频道信号。由于不同频道信号之间不可避免地会产生一定地互调,这对功放的线性度提出了较高的要求。本文设计了一种可基本满足多频道小功率直放站需要的线性功放,并且实际制作了实物。经过测试,实际输出功率≥2.5W,三阶互调抑制比≥40d Bc。
