Investigation of HgCdTe p-n device structures grown by liquid-phase epitaxy

The microstructure of p-n device structures grown by liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) on CdZnTe substrates has been evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The devices consisted of thick (∼21-μm) n-type layers and thin (∼1.6-μm) p-type layers, with final CdTe (∼0.5 μm) passivation layers. Initial observations revealed small defects, both within the n-type layer (doped with 8×10¹⁴/cm³ of In) and also within the p-type layer but at a much reduced level. These defects were not visible, however, in cross-sectional samples prepared by ion milling with the sample held at liquid nitrogen temperature. Only isolated growth defects were observed in samples having low indium doping levels (2×10¹⁴/cm³). The CdTe passivation layers were generally columnar and polycrystalline, and interfaces with the p-type HgCdTe layers were uneven. No obvious structural changes were apparent in the region of the CdTe/HgCdTe interfaces as a result of annealing at 250°C.

On Downlink Beamforming Methods: Capacity and Error Probability Performance

In space-division multiple access (SDMA), different beamforming or space-domain precoding techniques can be applied. We investigate two different space-domain precoding methods, the maximum capacity (MC) and the minimum mean square error (MMSE) precoders, for the downlink channel. It is shown that the MMSE precoding, which is practically implementable, can provide a reasonable performance in terms of the capacity and error probability, while the MC precoding is not practical (although it is optimum in terms of the capacity). Space-domain precoding methods are also applied to code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems.This work was supported by the HY-SDR Research Center at Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, under the ITRC Program of MIC, Korea.Jinho Choi was born in Seoul, Korea.

强干扰下的波束形成

提出强干扰条件下等距线阵的波束形成方法。该方法将空间角度映射到数字频率,对阵列方向图的设计就等效于对FIR滤波器的零点设计。在强干扰方向形成零陷可采用零点修改法与零点增加法2种设计方法,由于该2种方法均会使波束主瓣方向略有改变,且对旁瓣的抑制能力有所下降,所以要设计方向图指向正确且对旁瓣电平有要求的方向图时需要进行迭代设计。仿真结果表明,该2种设计方法适用于强干扰条件下弱信号的接收。

多波束融合BP神经网络拖船噪声抵消

拖曳线列阵声纳中,拖船噪声常常是影响声纳性能的重要因素之一。由于存在严重的多途效应,仅仅改变自适应结构难以提高拖船噪声抵消性能。因此在实际应用中,固定参考输入自适应干扰抵消技术的抵消效果一般均不理想,本文针对拖船噪声的特性,提出了一种多干扰波束融合的抵消算法,该算法具有抗多途效应效果好,可以较有效地消除拖船干扰,提高声纳的检测性能,试验数据处理结果表明它优于现有的自适应方法,且具有运算量少的优点,可望在实际声纳中得到应用。
