For the development of highly integrated, flexible and low-cost cognitive radio (CR) devices, simple transceiver architectures, like direct-conversion receiver, are expected to be deployed and provide viable radio frequency (RF) spectrum sensing solutions for practical implementation. Yet, this can be very challenging task especially if spectrum sensing and down-conversion are conducted over multiple RF channels simultaneously for improved efficiency in channel scans. Then, the so-called dirty RF problem that degrades link performance of traditional transmission systems starts to be influential from spectrum sensing perspective as well. The unavoidable RF impairments, e.g., oscillator phase noise in direct-conversion receiver, could generate crosstalk between multiple channels that are down-converted simultaneously, and thus considerably limit the spectrum sensing capabilities. Most of the existing spectrum sensing studies in literature assume an ideal RF receiver and have not considered such practical RF hardware problem. In this article, we study the impact of oscillator phase noise on energy detection (ED) based spectrum sensing in multi-channel direct-conversion receiver scenario. With complex Gaussian primary user (PU) signal models, we first derive the detection and false alarm probabilities in closed-form expression. The analytical results, verified through extensive simulations, show that the wideband multi-channel sensing receiver is very sensitive to the neighboring channel crosstalk induced by oscillator phase noise. More specifically, it is shown that the false alarm probability of multi-channel energy detection increases significantly, compared to the ideal RF receiver case. The exact performance degradation depends on the power of neighboring channels as well as statistical characteristics of the phase noise in the deployed receiver. In order to prevent such performance degradation in spectrum identification, an enhanced energy detection technique is proposed. The proposed technique calculates the leakage power from neighboring channels for each channel and improves the sample energy statistics by subtracting this leakage power from the raw values. An analytical expression is derived for the leakage power which is shown to be a function of power spectral levels of neighboring channels and 3-dB bandwidth of phase noise process. Practical schemes for estimating these two quantities are discussed. Extensive computer simulations show that the proposed enhanced detection yields false alarm rates that are very close to those of an ideal RF receiver and hence clearly outperforms classical energy detection. 相似文献

Removal of phosphate species from solution by adsorption onto calcite used as natural adsorbent 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Phosphates are very important basic materials in agricultural and other industrial applications. Phosphorus is often present in low concentrations in wastewater, almost solely in the form of organic and inorganic phosphates (ortho- and poly-phosphates). The removal of phosphates from surface waters is generally necessary to avoid problems, such as eutrophication, particularly near urban areas. The usual methods of treatment are either biological or physicochemical by sedimentation. This paper studies the removal of phosphate species by adsorption onto calcite used as natural adsorbent. The phosphate solutions were prepared artificially by adding certain quantities of K2HPO4 in water. The effect of equilibrium pH, phosphate/mineral ratio and contact time was studied. The results showed that pH plays an important role in the removal of phosphate species from solution, with removal being more efficient in the basic pH region. The experimental results also show that adsorption is also efficient for high ratios phosphate/adsorbent. Finally, the adsorption process is time dependent. Based on the experimental results a possible mechanism of phosphate removal onto calcite surface is proposed. As a general conclusion, phosphate species seem to be efficiently removed from solutions using calcite as natural adsorbent. In addition, the adsorption product can be used as fertilizer for acid soils. 相似文献

Processor core power is primarily consumed in a data path consisting of high-activity functional modules. We propose low-power/energy BIST schemes for data path architectures built around the most common combinations of multipliers, adders, ALUs, and shifters 相似文献

In this paper the testability of modified-Booth array multipliers for standard cells based design environments is examined for first time. In such cases the structure of the cells may be unknown, thus Cell Fault Model (CFM) is adopted. Two C-testable designs are proposed. A design for an N
x × Ny bits modified-Booth multiplier, which uses ripple carry addition at the last stage of the multiplication, is first proposed. The design requires the addition of only one extra primary input and 38 test vectors with respect to CFM. A second C-testable design is given using carry lookahead addition at the last stage which is the case of practical implementations of modified-Booth multipliers. Such a C-testable design using carry lookahead addition is for first time proposed in the open literature. This second design requires the addition of 4 extra primary inputs. One-level and two-levels carry lookahead adders, are considered. The C-testable design requires 61 test vectors for the former and 73 test vectors for the latter, respectively. The hardware and delay overheads imposed by both C-testable designs are very small and decrease when the size of the multiplier increases. 相似文献

A correlation for the estimation of critical micellization concentrations and temperatures of polyols in aqueous solutions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An empirical correlation is presented for the estimation of critical micellization concentrations (CMC) and critical micellization
temperatures (CMT) for poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers in aqueous solutions. The CMC and CMT are expressed as a function of the polyol molecular
weight, composition, and temperature (for CMC determination) or concentration (in the case of CMT). The correlation was developed
from experimental CMT data for a set of 12 polyols that covered a wide range of molecular weights (2900–14600) and poly(ethylene
oxide) contents (30–80 wt%) and is based on a simple expression for the standard free energy of micellization. Such a correlation
should be useful to practitioners of the field as it allows easy prediction of CMC and CMT for a wide range of polyols with
a minimal number of input parameters. 相似文献

Sensory studies of four fingers were performed on 72 patients with early (distal motor latency <4.2 ms) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and on 43 control subjects. Results demonstrate that sensory studies of digit 4 yields the highest sensitivity (88%) for diagnosis of early CTS. The sensitivity of digit 1, digit 2, and digit 3 was 61%, 22%, and 50%, respectively. 相似文献

Gold nanoparticles with an average diameter in the range 5-20?nm have been synthesized from hydrogen tetrachloroaureate (III) hydrate (HAuCl(4)·3H(2)O) in air-saturated aqueous PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymer solutions at ambient temperature in the absence of any other reducing agent (PEO: poly(ethylene oxide), PPO: poly(propylene oxide)). The particle size was controlled by the block copolymer concentration and PEO and PPO block lengths. Our findings indicate that longer PEO blocks lead to an increase in particle size because of an increase in reaction activity. Adsorption of PO segments on gold nanoparticles seems to prevent particle growth from aggregation, and results in small particle size and high colloidal stability. An increase of the HAuCl(4) concentration causes a change in the particle shape from spherical to triangular or hexagonal nanoplates. 相似文献

The aqueous self-assembly behavior of two homologous series of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-containing nonionic surfactants based on a C10-Guerbet hydrophobe is reported. The two families of surfactants, alkyl ethoxylates and alkyl alkoxylates, are commercially available from BASF under the trade name Lutensol® XP-series and XL-series, respectively. The latter incorporate propylene oxide (PO) units in the surfactant chain. Dye solubilization was used to determine the critical micellization concentration (CMC) of each surfactant at 22 and 50 °C. The PO-containing alkyl alkoxylates displayed lower CMC values, which were also more sensitive to temperature. The Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of micellization were computed from the CMC data and used to identify the contribution of each surfactant moiety (alkyl chain, PO unit, and PEO block) in controlling the CMC. The micellization properties are compared with compositionally similar surfactants with linear alkyl chains, yielding information about the effects of the Guerbet alkyl chain on micellization. Isothermal titration calorimetry was also used to characterize the CMC and enthalpy of micellization which generally compare well with the dye solubilization results. Cloud point data reveal nonmonotonic relationships for the Lutensol® surfactants with respect to composition, unlike linear alkyl chain surfactants. Finally, dilute solution viscosity measurements performed on some Lutensol® surfactants show a change in the slope, suggesting a structural change that tends to be more pronounced for surfactants with longer PEO blocks. The data presented herein enhance the understanding of surfactant structure–property relationships required for industrial formulation. 相似文献
