等离子体微带开关特性

 提出一种基于微放电等离子体的微带开关。它是以“时变等离子体”取代微带线射频微机电开关的“金属悬臂”,利用等离子体的导体或介质特性使电磁波沿其表面进行传输或截止,从而实现微带线上电磁波传输的动态控制。等离子体微带开关的基本结构包括用以隔断电磁波的微带间隙和产生片状等离子体的放电装置。放电产生时,电磁波因等离子体导体性通过开关,形成“开”状态;放电停止后,电磁波被微带间隙反射,形成“关”状态。利用CST软件仿真研究了等离子体开关特性,结果表明：这种开关的带宽由等离子体密度决定,隔离度由间隙决定,而工作插损与等离子体密度和电子碰撞频率有关。等离子体位形（宽度、厚度等）对于开关性能也非常重要。

Nanoneedle Platforms: The Many Ways to Pierce the Cell Membrane

Establishing techniques to efficiently and nondestructively access the intracellular milieu is essential for many biomedical and scientific applications, ranging from drug delivery, to electrical recording, to biochemical detection. Cell penetration using nanoneedle arrays is currently a research focus area because it not only meets the increasing therapeutic demands of cell modifications and genome editing, but also provides an ideal platform for tracking long‐term intracellular information. Although the precise mechanism driving membrane penetration by nanoneedle arrays is still unclear, the low cytotoxicity, wide range of delivered materials, diverse cell type targets, and simple material structures of nanoneedle arrays make these splendid platforms for cell access. Here, the recent progress in this field is reviewed by examining device architectures and discussing mechanisms for nanoneedle penetration, and the major studies demonstrating the most general applicability of nanoneedle arrays, typical methodologies to access the intracellular environment using nanoneedles with spontaneous or assisted penetration modes, as well as biosafety aspects are presented. This review should be valuable for deeply understanding the materials fabrication principles, device designs, cell penetration methodologies, biosafety aspects, and application strategies of nanoneedle array‐based systems that are of crucial importance for the development of future practical biomedical platforms.     

Joint beam selection and user association strategy for beam space millimetre wave downlink systems

Beam space multiple‐input multiple‐output (B‐MIMO) systems operating at mmWave frequency in downlink uses different beam selection techniques for reducing the required number of radio frequency chains without apparent performance loss. In this paper, a joint beam selection and user association scheme with the objective of sum rate maximization is proposed. The proposed work on beam selection is based on a norm and uncorrrelation based approach, which considers channel correlation among the users so as to avoid inter‐user interference. Two different methods for beam user association with one modelled as a balanced assignment problem based on average sum assignment method and the other method that associates an optimal beam to every user by considering their channel gain values are also proposed along with beam selection. The proposed beam assignment methods are less complex and efficient in finding a suitable beam to every user within the cell. Simulation results show that the proposed method accomplish comparable performance in terms of sum rate and energy efficiency with appreciably low computational complexity relative to the existing methods in a correlated environment.
