Single-carrier frequency-domain equalization with decision-feedback processing for time-reversal space-time block-coded systems

In this letter, we propose to introduce frequency-domain equalization with decision-feedback processing (FD-DFE) for time-reversal space-time block-coded (TR-STBC) systems with multiple transmit antennas to effectively achieve both spatial diversity and multipath diversity over frequency-selective channels. This letter will also present a theoretical performance analysis result that relates the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) to a new tight upper bound for the probability of error. It is shown that the new bound is not only valid for the TR-STBC systems, but also valid for single-input single-output, single-input multiple-output, and multiple-input multiple-output systems with MMSE equalization.     

Mechanism of negative capacitance in LEDs

In order to explain the phenomenon of negative capacitance（NC） in light emitting diodes LEDs, we present a new model based on local strong recombination in active region and firstly deduce the analytic expression of NO from continuity equation. The theoretical result indicates that the NC effect becomes stronger when the carrier recombination rate increases in a certain range,which is consistent with the experimental result. Accordingly,we confirm that the NO is caused by carrier recombination in active reaion instead of by other exterior factors.     

Performance evaluation of OFDM and single‐carrier systems using frequency domain equalization and phase modulation

In this paper, we study the performance of the continuous phase modulation (CPM)‐based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CPM‐OFDM) system. Also, we propose a CPM‐based single‐carrier frequency domain equalization (CPM‐SC‐FDE) structure for broadband wireless communication systems. The proposed structure combines the advantages of the low complexity of SC‐FDE, in addition to exploiting the channel frequency diversity and the power efficiency of CPM. Both the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed system are implemented with FDE to avoid the complexity of the equalization. Two types of frequency domain equalizers are considered and compared for performance evaluation of both systems; the zero forcing (ZF) equalizer and the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer. Simulation experiments are performed for a variety of multipath fading channels. Simulation results show that the performance of the CPM‐based systems with multipath fading is better than their performance with single path fading. The performance over a multipath channel is at least 5 and 12 dB better than the performance over a single path channel, for the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed CPM‐SC‐FDE system, respectively. The results also show that, when CPM is utilized in SC‐FDE systems, they can outperform CPM‐OFDM systems by about 5 dB. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Mobility measurement and degradation mechanisms of MOSFETs made with ultrathin high-k dielectrics

Accurate measurements and degradation mechanisms of the channel mobility for MOSFETs with HfO/sub 2/ as the gate dielectric have been systematically studied in this paper. The error in mobility extraction caused by a high density of interface traps for a MOSFET with high-k gate dielectric has been analyzed, and a new method to correct this error has been proposed. Other sources of error in mobility extraction, including channel resistance, gate leakage current, and contact resistance for a MOSFET with ultrathin high-k dielectric have also been investigated and reported in this paper. Based on the accurately measured channel mobility, we have analyzed the degradation mechanisms of channel mobility for a MOSFET with HfO/sub 2/ as the gate dielectric. The mobility degradation due to Coulomb scattering arising from interface trapped charges, and that due to remote soft optical phonon scattering are discussed.
