基于频域均衡的宽带阵列通道校正

通道失配会严重影响阵列天线的性能,需要校正失配.窄带阵列只需在中心频率上校正即可,而宽带阵列因带宽相对较大需要对整个通道特性采取均衡的方法来保证各通道间的幅度和相位一致性.首先建立了失配通道模型,然后介绍了基于最小二乘准则的频域均衡算法,最后通过计算机仿真验证了频域均衡算法的有效性.同时,新算法采用LFM信号作为校正信号,克服了时域校正时校正权值不收敛的问题.

Pointcuts, advice, refinements, and collaborations: similarities, differences, and synergies

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a novel programming paradigm that aims at modularizing complex software. It embraces several mechanisms including (1) pointcuts and advice as well as (2) refinements and collaborations. Though all these mechanisms deal with crosscutting concerns, i.e., a special class of design and implementation problems that challenge traditional programming paradigms, they do so in different ways. In this article we explore their relationship and their impact on modularity, which is an important prerequisite for reliable and maintainable software. Our exploration helps researchers and practitioners to understand their differences and exposes which mechanism is best used for which problem.     

Texture,contour, shape,and motion

Intrinsic magic calculation exploits constraints arising from physical and imaging processes to derive physical scene parameters from input images. After a brief review of a paradigmatic intrinsic image calculation we turn to a recent result in shape from texture and then to a new result that derives shape and motion from a sequence of patterned inputs. Experimental results are demonstrated for synthetic and natural images.     

Household technology adoption,use, and impacts: Past,present, and future

Since the 1980s, researchers have been studying the phenomenon associated with technology being diffused to the household. In this paper, three themes in that stream of research, specifically adoption, use, and impacts, are explored. Key studies from prior research within each theme are discussed and directions for future research are offered. The directions for future research range from investigating adoption issues associated with the digital divide to understanding the impacts of new technology and social networking sites on individuals and families. The evolving nature of the technology continues to offer interesting research directions and challenges, with the study of unintended consequences of technology use presenting, perhaps, the greatest opportunities.

Petri nets, algebras, morphisms, and compositionality

It is shown how a category of Petri nets can be viewed as a subcategory of two sorted algebras over multisets. This casts Petri nets in a familiar framework and provides a useful idea of morphism on nets different from the conventional definition—the morphisms here respect the behaviour of nets. The categorical constructions which result provide a useful way to synthesise nets and reason about nets in terms of their components; for example, various forms of parallel composition of Petri nets arise naturally from the product in the category. This abstract setting makes plain a useful functor from the category of Petri nets to a category of spaces of invariants and provides insight into the generalisations of the basic definition of Petri nets—for instance, the coloured and higher level nets of Kurt Jensen arise through a simple modification of the sorts of the algebras underlying nets. Further, it provides a smooth formal relation with other models of concurrency such as Milner's calculus of communicating systems (CCS) and Hoare's communicating sequential processes (CSP), though this is only indicated in this paper.
