Broadband high‐gain slot grid array antenna for millimeter wave applications

A broadband high‐gain slot grid array antenna (SGAA) is proposed in this paper. Based on the electromagnetic complementarity principle, the metal elements in the traditional microstrip grid array antenna (GAA) are replaced by a wide slot element. Compared with the GAA, the proposed SGAA achieves broadband and high‐gain performance. In order to demonstrate this concept, a prototype with 9‐element SGAA is designed using wide slot radiation elements and fabricated on Rogers 5880 printed circuit board (PCB) substrates, which is fed by a 50 Ω coaxial probe. The measured and simulated results show a good agreement. The proposed SGAA achieves a measured peak gain of 14.8 dBi at 26.0 GHz, a 10‐dB impedance bandwidth from 22.2 to 28.5 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 24.9%. These results indicate that the SGAA is with high performance and it is suitable for the fifth‐generation (5G) millimeter wave (mmW) wireless communication system.     

A simplification method for capacitance models in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors under large drain voltage using channel analysis

This article analyzes the bias dependence of gate‐drain capacitance (C_gd) and gate‐source capacitance (C_gs) in the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors under a high drain‐to‐source voltage (V_ds) from the perspective of channel shape variation, and further simplifies C_gd and C_gs to be gate‐to‐source voltage (V_gs) dependent only at high V_ds. This method can significantly reduce the number of parameters to be fitted in C_gd and C_gs and therefore lower the difficulty of model development. The Angelov capacitance models are chosen for verifying the effectiveness of simplification. Good agreement between simulated and measured small‐signal S‐parameters, large‐signal power sweep, and power contours comprehensively proves the accuracy of this simplification method.     

A lossless secret image sharing scheme using a larger finite field

Recent research has made an effort to take 8b-bit value as a polynomial coefficient and use a random number as the maximum coefficient term in a Shamir’s polynomial, where b > 0. These can help improve computationl efficiency by reducing the sum of calculating polynomials, and avoid the case of the coefficient of x^k??1 being zero. However, such research still has the issues of requiring much extra storage space, lossy secret image, shadow images with large size, and storing permutation key. To solve the above issues, in this paper, we propose a novel scheme which takes 8b-bit value as a polynomial coefficient, designs a bit-level method and runs under Galois Field GF(2^8b). Experimental results show that this scheme improves existing similar schemes on several aspects, such as less extra storage space and higher computational performance.

三维模型局部自相似性是物体形状分析中的一个基本问题,其中,局部形状描述符的构建对自相似性分析的最终结果至关重要.针对此问题,提出了一种基于张量融合特征描述符的自相似性分析方法.首先利用相关面和反向点对点云模型进行形状直径函数(shapediameterfunction,SDF)的近似计算;然后利用谱聚类对模型进行过分割成模型子块,由K近邻(K-nearest neighbor, KNN)邻域点的SDF、形状指数(shape index, SI)和高斯曲率(Gauss curvature,GS)矩阵构造三维特征张量;最后利用张量范数构造映射得到形状描述符,并定义相似性度量分析模型子块之间的自相似性.对几种最新的方法(包括部分匹配和显著性检测)进行了实验,无论是直观视觉效果,还是相似性测度和相对误差上的评价指标,结果均表明,该方法可有效地对形状进行描述,提高了点云模型相似子块的识别精度.

多尺度分割先验迭代重加权低秩恢复显著性检测

目的 现有显著性检测方法大多只关注显著目标的中心信息,使得算法只能得到中心清晰、边缘模糊的显著目标,丢失了一些重要的边界信息,而使用核范数约束进行低秩矩阵恢复,运算过程冗余。为解决以上问题,本文提出一种无监督迭代重加权最小二乘低秩恢复算法,用于图像视觉显著性检测。方法 将图像分为细中粗3种尺度的分割,从细粒度和粗粒度先验的融合中得到分割先验信息;将融合后的分割先验信息通过迭代重加权最小二乘法求解平滑低秩矩阵恢复,生成粗略显著图;使用中粒度分割先验对粗略显著图进行平滑,生成最终的视觉显著图。结果 实验在MSRA10K（Microsoft Research Asia 10K）、SOD（salient object detection dataset）和ECSSD（extended complex scene saliency dataset）数据集上进行测试,并与现有的11种算法进行对比。结果表明,本文算法可生成边界清晰的显著图。在MSRA10K数据集上,本文算法实现了最高的AUC（area under ROC（receiver operating characteristic）curve）和F-measure值,MAE（mean absolute error）值仅次于SMD（structured matrix decomposition）算法和RBD（robust back ground detection）算法,AUC和F-measure值比次优算法RPCA（robust principal component analysis）分别提高了3.9%和12.3%;在SOD数据集上,综合AUC、F-measure和MAE值来看,本文算法优于除SMD算法以外的其他算法,AUC值仅次于SMD算法、SC（smoothness constraint）算法和GBVS（graph-based visual salieney）算法,F-measure值低于最优算法SMD 2.6%;在ECSSD数据集上,本文算法实现了最高的F-measure值75.5%,AUC值略低于最优算法SC 1%,MAE值略低于最优算法HCNs（hierarchical co-salient object detection via color names）2%。结论 实验结果表明,本文算法能从前景复杂或背景复杂的显著图像中更准确地检测出边界清晰的显著目标。

在材料分析、纳米光学等研究中,高质量数值模拟多体系统电子密度的随时间演化是一类重要研究内容.演化中产生的时间依赖偶极子等物理量,是更进一步研究的基础.此类数值模拟分为两个步骤.即多体系统的基态求解、及以基态为初值的系统的动态演化模拟.这两个步骤可以分别通过数值求解科恩-沈(Kohn-Sham)方程及含时科恩-沈(time-dependent Kohn-Sham)方程实现.本文中,我们提出一类基于有限元方法的数值求解框架,为这两个步骤提供一个统一的模拟实现.在基态求解中,我们利用一类自洽场迭代对方程进行线性化,采用局部最优块预处理共轭梯度法求解导出的广义特征值问题,并设计了一个基于多重网格方法的预优对求解进行有效加速.在动态演化模拟中,针对方程的结构,我们提出了一个基于隐式中点公式的数值方法,利用预估-校正方法对方程进行线性化处理,并设计了一个针对复值线性系统的代数多重网格求解器用于加速时间推进.特别地,我们基于提出的数值方法,分别针对科恩-沈及含时科恩-沈方程导出了残量型后验误差估计子,并实现了基于局部加密的网格自适应方法,用于进一步改善数值模拟效率.数值解展示了方法的有效性.
