Measurement of eye-penalty based on the clock amplitude of transmitted signal

We investigate the relationship between the eye-penalty and the clock amplitude of the transmission signal. The simulation results for return-to-zero (RZ) signals show a good correspondence between the clock amplitude and the eye-penalty. For a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal, however, the correspondence between them is satisfied within the reasonable range of the transmission distance. Thus, we can monitor the eye-penalty by measuring the clock amplitude of the transmission signal. The proposed scheme may provide a cost-effective monitoring of the chromatic dispersion-induced signal distortion in optical transmission systems and networks.     

Optimal selection of ARQ parameters in QAM channels

For a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communication channel with forward error correction (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ), the bit error rate (BER) is estimated as a function of the channel signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). A method is presented for trading off the number of allowed transmissions and the level of margin (or the line ARQ gain) applied to the channel SNR. The line ARQ gain maximizing the channel throughput is shown to be a sum of the channel SNR and some function of the bit load and FEC parameters. Using this result, we formulate a fast method of determining the optimum ARQ parameters at the actual channel conditions, based on their values at some reference conditions, the latter being either stored in the modem memory or pre‐calculated prior to channel initialization. The derivations are presented both for AWGN and slowly fading channel conditions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

导电介质中电磁波相移常数与振幅衰减常数的方向关系的讨论

对文献上给出的非均匀电磁波在同一均匀导电介质中传播时,电磁波的相移常数和振幅衰减常数方向之间满足定量关系的结论,重新进行了分析和推导,利用电磁波在导电介质界面的边界条件,给出了两种情况下的相移常数和振幅衰减常数的表达式,以及它们与界面法线的夹角正弦的表达式.结果表明,在同一均匀导电介质中,非均匀电磁波的相移常数的方向和振幅衰减常数的方向之间一般不满足定量关系.     

Entropy Could Quantify Brain Activation Induced by Mechanical Impedance-Restrained Active Arm Motion: A Functional NIRS Study

Brain activation has been used to understand brain-level events associated with cognitive tasks or physical tasks. As a quantitative measure for brain activation, we propose entropy in place of signal amplitude and beta value, which are widely used, but sometimes criticized for their limitations and shortcomings as such measures. To investigate the relevance of our proposition, we provided 22 subjects with physical stimuli through elbow extension-flexion motions by using our exoskeleton robot, measured brain activation in terms of entropy, signal amplitude, and beta value; and compared entropy with the other two. The results show that entropy is superior, in that its change appeared in limited, well established, motor areas, while signal amplitude and beta value changes appeared in a widespread fashion, contradicting the modularity theory. Entropy can predict increase in brain activation with task duration, while the other two cannot. When stimuli shifted from the rest state to the task state, entropy exhibited a similar increase as the other two did. Although entropy showed only a part of the phenomenon induced by task strength, it showed superiority by showing a decrease in brain activation that the other two did not show. Moreover, entropy was capable of identifying the physiologically important location.     

Monotone positive solution for three-point boundary value problem

In this paper, the existence of monotone positive solution for the following secondorder three-point boundary value problem is studied：
x″（t）＋f（t,x（t））=0,0〈t〈1,
x′（0）=0,x（1）＋δx′（η）=0,
where η ∈ （0, 1）, δ∈ [0, ∞）, f ∈ C（[0, 1] × [0, ∞）, [0, ∞））. Under certain growth conditions on the nonlinear term f and by using a fixed point theorem of cone expansion and compression of functional type due to Avery, Anderson and Krueger, sufficient conditions for the existence of monotone positive solution are obtained and the bounds of solution are given. At last, an example is given to illustrate the result of the paper.
