A novel direct conversion receiver with low cost and low power is implemented in a 0.18 μm 1P6M standard CMOS process for a Mobile UHF RFID reader.A highly linear active mixer with low flicker noise and low noise active load is proposed.An efficient and low cost on-chip DC offset voltage canceling scheme is adopted with a high-input-impedance four-input OPAMP to buffer the output of the DC offset canceller(DCOC) block.The receiver has a measured input 1 dB compression point of 2 dBm and a sensitivity of 72 dBm in the presence of the large leakage signal from the transmitter.Only occupying a silicon area of 2.5 mm 2 and consuming 21 mA from a 1.8 V supply,the receiver makes the mobile UHF RFID reader to communicate with a transponder in a distance of 1 m conveniently. 相似文献
Missing data is a common problem in credit evaluation practice and can obstruct the development and application of an evaluation model. Block-wise missing data is a particularly troublesome issue. Based on multi-task feature selection approach, this paper proposes a method called MMPFS to build a model for credit evaluation that primarily includes two steps: (1) dividing the dataset into several nonoverlapping subsets based on missing patterns, and (2) integrating the multi-task feature selection approach using logistic regression to perform joint feature learning on all subsets. The proposed method has the following advantages: (1) missing data do not need to be managed in advance, (2) available data can be fully used for model learning, (3) information loss or bias caused by general missing data processing methods can be avoided, and (4) overfitting risk caused by redundant features can be reduced. The implementation framework and algorithm principle of the proposed method are described, and three credit datasets from UCI are investigated to compare the proposed method with other commonly used missing data treatments. The results show that MMPFS can produce a better credit evaluation model than data preprocessing methods, such as sample deletion and data imputation.
Bulk Nd–Al–Fe–Co glassy alloys with diameter up to 5 mm were investigated by magnetic measurements, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) at room temperature. The results from the measurement of vibrating sample magnetometer show that these samples with compositions Nd65Al10Fe25-xCox (x=0–10 at.%) and Nd60Al10Fe20Co10 display hard magnetic properties with HC of 300 kAm−1, MS of 10 Am2 kg−1, and Mr of 7 Am2 kg−1. The MFM measurements of the Nd60Al10Fe20Co10 bulk metallic glass (BMG) reveal the existence of magnetic domains with a period of about 0.36 μm, and the ordered clusters with the averaged size of about 5 nm was observed by the HREM on the sample. The domain structure or cluster is believed to be associated with the appearance of hard-magnetic properties in this alloy system. The existence of the large-size domains demonstrates that magnetic moment of a great deal of ordered atomic clusters in the BMG has been aligned by exchange-coupling. 相似文献
