TWIDDLE FACTOR MERGED TIME-DECIMAL FFT ALGORITHM AND THE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION FOR TWIDDLE FACTOR MERGED FFT ALGORITHM

Martens proposed a highly efficient and simply formed DFT algorithm——RCFA,whose efficien-cy is comparable with that of WFTA or that of PFA,and whose structure is similar to that of FFT.Theauthors have proved that,in the case of radix 2,the RCFA is exactly equivalent to the twiddle factor mergedfrequency-decimal FFT algorithm.The twiddle factor merged time-decimal FFT algorithm is providedin this paper.Thus,in any case,the FFT algorithm used currently can be replaced by the more efficientalgorithm——the twiddle factor merged FFT algorithm,with exactly the same external property and thesimilar internal structure.Also in this paper,the software for implementing the twiddle factor merged FFTalgorithm(TMFFT)is provided.     

Configurable Floating-Point FFT Accelerator on FPGA Based Multiple-Rotation CORDIC

Fast Fourier transform (FFT) accelerator and Coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm play important roles in signal processing.We propose a conflgurable floating-point FFT accelerator based on CORDIC rotation,in which twiddle direction prediction is presented to reduce hardware cost and twiddle angles are generated in real time to save memory.To finish CORDIC rotation efficiently,a novel approach in which segmentedparallel iteration and compress iteration based on CSA are presented and redundant CORDIC is used to reduce the latency of each iteration.To prove the efficiency of our FFT accelerator,four FFT accelerators are prototyped into a FPGA chip to perform a batch-FFT.Experimental results show that our structure,which is composed of four butterfly units and finishes FFT with the size ranging from 64 to 8192 points,occupies 33230(3％) REGs and 143006(30％)LUTs.The clock frequency can reach 122MHz.The resources of double-precision FFT is only about 2.5 times of single-precision while the theoretical value is 4.What's more,only 13331 cycles are required to implement 8192-points double-precision FFT with four butterfly units in parallel.     

Evolution of Electron Phase Orbits Based on Multi——photon Nonlinear Compton Scattering

The electron movement based on the multi- photon nonlinear Compton scattering with the extra--intense stationary laser field is discussed by using KMR (Kroll--Morton--Rosenbluth) theory. We find that there exists only an evolution from periodicity to non--periodicity of the un--captured electron phase orbits after the energy exchange between the electron beam and laser fields. With the increase of the absorbed photon number n by an electron, this evolution will be more and more faster, while it is rapidly decreased with the enhancement of the collision non- flexibility ξ of the electrons and photons； When the electrons are captured by the laser fields, the evolution is finished, the electrons will stably transport, and the photons don‘t give up the energy to these electrons.

AUTOMATICALLY EXTRACTING AND OPTIMIZING FUZZY RULE BASE

A method of automatically extracting and optimizing fuzzy rule base is presented in this paper. Firstly, it applies the method of CCM (cell-to-cell mapping) to analyze the evolving trend and global behavior of a fuzzy dynamical system based on a cell state space, which is characterized by equilibrium, cost and their domain of attractions. Secondly, each rule base is evaluated to determine a performance index based on the information of the system obtained by CCM. Thirdly, CA (Genetic Algorithm) optimizes the coded rule bases according to the performance index generation by generation. The method presented in this paper can be applied to various systems (linear or nonlinear, continuous or discrete) to automatically obtain optimal rule base, for it fuses the advantages of GA and CCM. As an example, a complicated nonlinear system-an inverted pendulum is simulated to demonstrate the validity of the method.     

Combined optical fiber interferometric sensors for the detection of acoustic emission

A type of combined optical fiber interferometric acoustic emission sensor is proposed. The sensor can be independent on the laser source and make light interference by matching the lengths of two arms,so it can be used to monitor the health of large structure. Theoretical analyses indicate that the system can be equivalent to the Michelson interferometer with two optical fiber loop reflectors,and its sensitivity has been remarkably increased because of the decrease of the losses of light energy. PZT is powered by DC regulator to control the operating point of the system,so the system can accurately detect feeble vibration which is generated by ultrasonic waves propagating on the surface of solid. The amplitude and the frequency of feeble vibration signal are obtained by detecting the output light intensity of interferometer and using Fourier transform technique. The results indicate that the system can be used to detect the acoustic emission signals by the frequency characteristics.     

Propagation characteristics of six-core photonic liquid crystal fibers

We demonstrate a new kind of multi-core photonic liquid crystal fibers (PLCFs) which have six liquid crystal cores arrayed in the ring-type geometry and separated by the air holes. Through analyzing the structure of this kind of PLCFs, it can be found that they have the ability to resist the structure deformation. Due to the effective index of the liquid crystal can be adjusted by temperature and wavelength, the energy in the six liquid crystal cores is increased with the temperature increasing and wavelength decreasing. The effective index of the PLCFs is decreased, the effective fundamental mode area is increased and the dispersion properties are gently affected with the wavelength increasing and temperature decreasing.     

A New Method for Sorting Unknown Radar Emitter Signal

Sorting rate of common method is not high and it is sensitive to the Signal noise ratio （SNR）, in order to solve these problems, bispectrum two dimensions characteristics complexity is applied to sort unknown complicated radar signal and a high sorting rate would be got. The bispectrum of received signal is extracted and it is predigested to two dimensions characteristic, the box dimension and information dimension are extracted from the two di- mensions characteristic and used as the sorting characteristics, and the last sorting is accomplished by using KFCM algorithm. For the bispectrum of different signal is distin- guishing and it is not sensitive to SNR, the box dimension and information dimension are divisible and steady, the advantage of this new method is validated by simulation results, and the lowest sorting rate is 90% at SNR equals to 10dB.     

Theoretical analysis of the relationship between the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain in the optical-fiber sensors

The relation between the power of the Brillouin signal and the strain is one of the bases of the distributed fiber sensors of temperature and strain.The coefficient of the Brillouin gain can be changed by the temperature and the strain that will affect the power of the Brillouin scattering.The relation between the change of the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain is thought to be linear by many researchers.However,it is not always linear based on the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.Therefore,errors will be caused if the relation between the change of the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain is regarded as to be linear approximately for measuring the temperature and the strain.For this reason,the influence of the parameters on the Brillouin gain coefficient is proposed through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.

Theoretical analysis of the relationship between the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain in the optical-fiber sensors

The relation between the power of the Brillouin signal and the strain is one of the bases of the distributed fiber sensors of temperature and strain. The coefficient of the Bfillouin gain can be changed by the temperature and the strain that will affect the power of the Brillouin scattering. The relation between the change of the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain is thought to be linear by many researchers. However, it is not always linear based on the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.

Tris（8—Hydroxyquinoline）Aluminum／2—（4—Biphenylyl）—5—（4—Tertbutylphenyl）—1,3,3—O—xadiazole Organic Multiple Quantum Wells for Electroluminescent Devices

Organic multiple quantum wells(OMQWs) consisting of alternating layers of organic materials have been fabricated from tris(8-hdroxyquinoline) aluminum(Alq)and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tertbutylphenyl)-1,3,3-oxadiazole(PBD)by a multisource-type high-vacuum organic molecular deposition.From the small-angle X-ray diffraction patterns of Alq/PBD OMQWs,a periodically layered structure is confirmed through the entire stack.The Alq layer thickness in the OMQWs was varied from 1 nm to 4 nm.From the optical aborption, photoluminescence and electroluminescence measurements,it is found that the exciton energy shifts to higher energy with decreasing Alq layer thickness,The changes of the exciton energy could be interpreted as the confinement effects of exciton in the Alq thin layers.Narrowing of the emission spectrum has also been observed for the electroluminescent devices(ELDs)with the OMQWs structure at room temperature.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of ternary complex Eu(UVA)3Phen in nano-TiO2

By introducing 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone(UVA) and 1,10-phenanthroline(Phen) as the ligands, the ternary rare earth complex of Eu(UVA)3Phen is synthesized, and it is characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra(MS) and infrared(IR) and ultraviolet(UV) spectroscopy. Results show that the Eu(III) in complex emits strong red luminescence when it is excited by UV light, and it has higher sensitized luminescent efficiency and longer lifetime. The organic-inorganic thin film of complex Eu(UVA)3Phen doped with nano-Ti O2 is prepared, and the nano-Ti O2 is used in the luminescence layer to change the luminescence property of Eu(UVA)3Phen. It is found that there is an efficient energy transfer process between ligands and metal ions. Moreover, in an indium tin oxide(ITO)/poly(N-vinylcar-bazole)(PVK)/Eu(UVA)3Phen/Al device, Eu3+ can be excited by intramolecular ligand-to-metal energy transfer process. The main peak of emission at 613 nm is attributed to 5D0→7F2 transition of the Eu3+, and this process results in the enhanced red emission.

Tree pruning for MIMO sphere detection based on MMSE detection

Tree pruning is an effective algorithm to reduce the complexity of sphere detection(SD) for multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) communication systems.How to determine the tree pruning rule,as well as by what the tradeoff between the performance and the complexity can be achieved,is still an open problem.In this paper,a tree pruning algorithm is proposed based on minimum mean square error(MMSE) detection.The proposed algorithm first preforms MMSE detection since the complexity of MMSE detection is very low.Then the pruning constraints will be set according to the scaled path metrics of the MMSE solution.The choice of the scale factors and their influences on the complexity and performance are also discussed.Through analysis and simulations,it is shown that the complexity is reduced significantly with negligible performance degradation and additional computations.
