This article presents a design methodology for linearizing GaN HEMT amplifiers based on splitting a large FET into multiple parallel FETs with same total gate periphery and by biasing them individually. By varying the biases, the magnitude and the phase of the IMD3 components at the output of FET changes. A detailed simulation methodology using commercial microwave CAD software is presented. Simulation results show that by biasing one device in Class AB and other(s) in deep Class AB mode, IMD3 components of parallel FETs can be made out of phase to each other leading to cancellation and improvement in linearity. Three prototype circuits were simulated using (a) a single 5 mm FET (1 × 5 mm), (b) two parallel 2.5 mm FETs (2 × 2.5 mm), and (c) four parallel 1.25 mm FETs (4 × 1.25 mm), for a total gate periphery of 5 mm, over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.0 GHz. IMD3 improvement up to 20 dBc was achieved with the 4 × 1.25 mm circuit when the FET biases were optimized. Measurement results show improvement in linearity up to 20 dBc for 4 × 1.25 mm circuit. The proposed method improves linearity without a substantial penalty on the power consumption and is straightforward to implement. 相似文献
With the rapid development of the Internet, finding desired images from numerous images has become an important research topic. In this paper, we propose an image retrieval system facilitating retrieval time and accuracy. Since the performance of image retrieval is deeply influenced by image features and retrieval methods. Five different types of features and five different methods are used to find the best combination for an image retrieval system. First, we segment out the main object in an image and then extract its features. Next, relevant features are selected from the original feature set for facilitating image retrieval, using the SAHS algorithm. Then, five methods based on AND/OR-construction are proposed to build the image retrieval model, using the relevant features. Finally, the experimental results not only show that our methods are more effective than the other state-of-the-art methods but also present some observations never explored by the previous research.

The design of highly stable and efficient porous materials is essential for developing breakthrough hydrocarbon separation methods based on physisorption to replace currently used energy-intensive distillation/absorption technologies. Efforts to develop advanced porous materials such as zeolites, coordination frameworks, and organic polymers have met with limited success. Here, a new class of ionic ultramicroporous polymers (IUPs) with high-density inorganic anions and narrowly distributed ultramicroporosity is reported, which are synthesized by a facile free-radical polymerization using branched and amphiphilic ionic compounds as reactive monomers. A covalent and ionic dual-crosslinking strategy is proposed to manipulate the pore structure of amorphous polymers at the ultramicroporous scale. The IUPs exhibit exceptional selectivity (286.1–474.4) for separating acetylene from ethylene along with high thermal and water stability, collaboratively demonstrated by gas adsorption isotherms and experimental breakthrough curves. Modeling studies unveil the specific binding sites for acetylene capture as well as the interconnected ultramicroporosity for size sieving. The porosity-engineering protocol used in this work can also be extended to the design of other ultramicroporous materials for the challenging separation of other key gas constituents. 相似文献
A series of single-component blue, green and red phosphors have been fabricated based on the Ca3Gd(GaO)3(BO3)4 host through doping of the Ce3+/Tb3+/Eu3+ ions, and their crystal structure and photoluminescence properties have been discussed in detail. A terbium bridge model via Ce3+ → Tb3+ → Eu3+ energy transfer has been studied. The emission colours of the phosphors can be tuned from blue (0.1661, 0.0686) to green (0.3263, 0.4791) and eventually to red (0.5284, 0.4040) under a single 344 nm UV excitation as the result of the Ce3+ → Tb3+ → Eu3+ energy transfer. The energy transfer mechanisms of Ce3+ → Tb3+ and Tb3+ → Eu3+ were found to be dipole-dipole interactions. Importantly, Ca3Gd(GaO)3(BO3)4:Ce3+,Tb3+,Eu3+ phosphors had high internal quantum efficiency. Moreover, the study on the temperature-dependent emission spectra revealed that the Ca3Gd(GaO)3(BO3)4:Ce3+,Tb3+,Eu3+ phosphors possessed good thermal stability. The above results indicate that the phosphors can be applied into white light-emitting diodes as single-component multi-colour phosphors. 相似文献
