Serially-connected series-stub resonators for narrowband coplanar-stripline bandpass filters

In this letter, a coplanar stripline (CPS) series resonator composed of serially-connected series-stubs is proposed. This kind of resonator provides two transmission zeros close to the resonant frequency. With the proposed structure, the reactance slope parameters of the resonators are significantly increased and adjustable by changing the length ratio of the two series stubs. This is useful for designing narrowband filters which is difficult to realize with conventional series CPS resonators. The structures of the resonators are optimized for a lower radiation loss and used to design a narrowband Chebyshev bandpass filter. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed filter provides multiple transmission zeros and high selectivity.     

Computational Implementation of Asymmetric Integral Imaging by Use of Two Crossed Lenticular Sheets

We propose an asymmetric integral imaging method to adjust the resolution and depth of a three‐dimensional image. Our method is obtained by use of two lenticular sheets with different pitches fabricated under the same F/#. The asymmetric integral imaging is the generalized version of integral imaging, including both conventional integral imaging and one‐dimensional integral imaging. We present experimental results to test and verify the performance of our method computationally.     

Power amplifier with low average current and compact output matching network

A power amplifier with a compact output matching network and a high average operating efficiency owing to its control circuits which enable the dynamic control of the quiescent current is presented. The microwave monolithic integrated circuit of the power amplifier was designed and implemented, in order to verify the output matching network and control circuits for the 1.88-GHz band. The power-added efficiency for an average power-usage of the proposed amplifier is almost twice that of conventional power amplifiers (3.74% versus 6.86%) in urban areas.

A novel high-efficiency linear transmitter using injection-locked pulsed oscillator

This letter presents a novel high-efficiency linear transmitter using pulse-width modulation (PWM). An envelope of radio frequency (RF) input signal is modulated by the PWM. The modulated signal is applied to the gate bias of a class F injection-locked power oscillator and switches it on and off. By filtering the pulsed oscillating output signal of the injection-locked oscillator using high-Q bandpass filter, the input signal is restored. This technique enables the transmitter to have high efficiency with good linearity. Also, there is little distortion near saturation point of an active device. The measured results show efficiency of 54.6% and very good linearity in PCS band at 26.4-dBm output power.     

High-temperature hydrothermal systems in West Yunnan Province, China

There are more than 660 thermal springs in West Yunnan Province, 30 of which are high-temperature hydrothermal systems with reservoir temperatures above 150°C.All thermal springs in West Yunnan are under the control of the tectonics, most of them being distributed at anticlinoria of metamorphic rocks and granites. This paper discusses the relationship between thermal areas and tectonics, the correlation between thermal springs in West Yunnan and North Thailand, and the geothermal prospects in West Yunnan.

A Silicon–Silica Nanocomposite Material

The synthesis and characterization of a novel silicon–silica nanocomposite material are reported. A self‐assembly method allows the encapsulation of silicon nanoclusters within the channels of a periodic mesoporous silica thin film. The result is the formation of a silicon–silica nanocomposite film with bright, room‐temperature photoluminescence in the visible range, and a nanosecond luminescence lifetime. The properties of the nanocomposite material have been studied by several analytical techniques, which collectively show the existence within the channels of non‐diamondoid‐structure‐type silicon nanoclusters with various hydrogenated silicon sites. It is estimated that the silicon nanoclusters in the silica mesoporous films occupy up to 39 % of the accessible pore volume. The nanocomposite film shows improved resistance to air oxidation compared to crystalline silicon. The high loading and chemical stability to oxidation under ambient conditions are important advantages in terms of the development of silicon‐based light‐emitting diodes from this class of materials.

Bayesian algorithms for simultaneous structure from motion estimation of multiple independently moving objects.

In this paper, the problem of simultaneous structure from motion estimation for multiple independently moving objects from a monocular image sequence is addressed. Two Bayesian algorithms are presented for solving this problem using the sequential importance sampling (SIS) technique. The empirical posterior distribution of object motion and feature separation parameters is approximated by weighted samples. The first algorithm addresses the problem when only two moving objects are present. A singular value decomposition (SVD)-based sample clustering algorithm is shown to be capable of separating samples related to different objects. A pair of SIS procedures is used to track the posterior distribution of the motion parameters. In the second algorithm, a balancing step is added into the SIS procedure to preserve samples of low weights so that all objects have enough samples to propagate empirical motion distributions. By using the proposed algorithms, the relative motions of all the moving objects with respect to the camera can be simultaneously estimated. Both algorithms have been tested on synthetic and real-image sequences. Improved results have been achieved.
