Research on the optical fiber gas flowmeters based on intermodal interference

In this work, a self-heating type optical fiber flowmeter with high sensitivity was proposed. The core-offset fiber structures were employed to couple a part of signal light into the fiber cladding layer, and the other part of light still propagated in the core layer. The intermodal interference between the two parts of light happened when the cladding modes were coupled back into core layer. Meanwhile, the high power laser was also introduced into fiber to heat the silver film coated on the surface of the cladding layer. When the cool gas flow passed, the temperature of the sensor probe decreased due to the heat transfer process. Because of the thermo-optic effect in the fiber, interference spectrum could be shifted when the temperature was changed. The experimental results showed the resolution of the proposed sensor was 2×10⁻² m/s in the region of 0–8 m/s. The highest sensitivity could achieve 1537 pm/(m/s).     

A mechanism for detecting on-chip radio frequency interference of field-programmable gate array

One-chip measurements without modifying the physical structure of packaged integrated circuits such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) is challenging. This paper proposes a sensor for detecting the radio frequency interference (RFI) on the supply inside the FPGA chip. The core of the sensor is a ring oscillator built with FPGA look-up tables. The paper proposes a model to predict the response of the ring oscillator to power supply RFI, and shows that the normalized frequency shift of the ring oscillator resulting from the interference is determined by the amplitude of the interference. This relationship is independent of the interference frequency and the size of the ring oscillator. To verify the model, simulations on transistor-level look-up tables of 130-nm and 40-nm technologies were performed. The simulation results matched well with the model. In addition to simulation, an FPGA test board was fabricated. Measurements of FPGA RFI response were performed and the results were consistent with the theoretical model. The effect of the interference on the ring oscillator provided a mechanism to detect the amplitude of the supply interference on the FPGA chip. The frequency of the ring oscillator was monitored through the supply pin by measuring the spectrum of the supply noise. The properties of the sensor, such as constant response in a wide frequency range, insensitiveness to the oscillator size, ease of implementation, and minimal modification requirement of the physical structure, made it suitable for performing on-chip FPGA measurements.

A modified sequential extraction method for arsenic fractionation in sediments

A modified sequential extraction method was developed to characterize arsenic (As) associated with different solid constituents in surficial deposits (sediments), which are unconsolidated glacial deposits overlying bedrock. Current sequential extraction methods produce a significant amount of unresolved As in the residual fraction, but our proposed scheme can fractionate >90% of the As present in sediments. Sediment samples containing different As concentrations (3–35 μg g⁻¹) were used to assess the developed method. The pooled amount of As recovered from all the fractions using the developed method was similar (83–122%) to the total As extracted by acid digestion. The concentrations of As in different fractions using the developed scheme were comparable (89–106%) to the As fractions obtained by other existing methods. The developed method was also evaluated for the sequential extraction of other metals such as copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr) and strontium (Sr) in the sediment samples. The pooled concentrations of these four individual metals from all the fractions were similar (96–104%) to their total concentrations extracted by acid digestion. During method development, we used extractants that did not contain chloride to eliminate formation of polyatomic ions of argon chloride (⁴⁰Ar³⁵Cl) that interfered with ⁷⁵As when analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The results suggest that the developed method can reliably be employed for complete As and other metals’ fractionation in sediments using ICP-MS.     

A simple transmit diversity system for fading channels using shaped sinusoidal functions

This paper proposes a transmit-diversity system using a pair of orthogonal pulses. The system uses a set of orthonormal-basic functions, which contains four shaped-sinusoidal pulses with the same frequency. The first two elements in the set are shaped sine and cosine pulses. The second two elements are the same sine and cosine pulses but they are shaped with the Hilbert transform of the shaping pulse of the first two elements. The modulator in the proposed system produces two modulated symbols for each data symbol. It uses the first two elements in the proposed set in modulating the first modulated symbol and the second two elements in modulating the second modulated symbol. The modulated symbols are transmitted though two antennas. The diversity order of the proposed system is twice the number of antennas in the receiver. In the proposed system, no space-time coding is used and the channel gains change every symbol period. This is different from the Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The receiver of the proposed system consists of two matched filters for each receiving antenna. No special detectors or interference cancelation techniques are used because there is no interference between the outputs of the matched filters.     

A downlink beamforming assisted by locally positioned communication devices

Recently, multiple cell types with overlapping coverage have been deployed simultaneously to increase cellular network capacity. Cross‐tier interference is one of the key technical challenges in the use of this method. A simple and practical beamforming scheme assisted by locally positioned communication devices for the downlink of a multi‐cell wireless hierarchical cell structure system is proposed in this paper to maximize the capacity of the embedded small cell and simultaneously ensure minimal impact on the performance of existing macrocells. The locally positioned communication devices can be implemented with low complexity and at low cost and can continuously provide helpful and accurate information to base stations for the proper configuration of geographical cell coverage, allowing neighboring cells to cooperate effectively with each other. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can provide a significant gain over conventional systems not using the proposed algorithm. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
