2.3–21 GHz broadband and high linearity distributed low noise amplifier

This paper focuses on the design of a 2.3–21 GHz Distributed Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with low noise figure (NF), high gain (S₂₁), and high linearity (IIP3) for broadband applications. This distributed amplifier (DA) includes S/C/X/Ku/K-band, which makes it very suitable for heterodyne receivers. The proposed DA uses a 0.18 μm GaAs pHEMT process (OMMIC ED02AH) in cascade architecture with lines adaptation and equalization of phase velocity techniques, to absorb their parasitic capacitances into the gate and drain transmission lines in order to achieve wide bandwidth and to enhance gain and linearity. The proposed broadband DA achieved an excellent gain in the flatness of 13.5 ± 0.2 dB, a low noise figure of 3.44 ± 1.12 dB, and a small group delay variation of ±19.721 ps over the range of 2.3–21 GHz. The input and output reflection coefficients S₁₁ and S₂₂ are less than −10 dB. The input compression point (P_1dB) and input third-order intercept point (IIP3) are −1.5 dBm and 11.5 dBm, respectively at 13 GHz. The dissipated power is 282 mW and the core layout size is 2.2 × 0.8 mm².

接收机整机最小噪声系数的实现

前级LNA的性能指标的好坏对接收机整体性能起主要作用。较流行的设计方法是用ADS等仿真软件在Smith圆图上作出LNA的等增益圆和等噪声圆，以确定LNA是否同时满足所要求的增益和噪声系数指标。这种方法虽然满足了设计要求，但往往不能获得整机噪声的最佳点。本文在符合设计指标后进一步对噪声和增益的关系进行分析，建立适用于常用接收机的简单模型，在此基础上获得基于整机噪声的最佳点。这种设计方法可以广泛应用于各种微波接收系统中,降低整机哭声系数.     

河流工程中的图形绘制与处理

在河流工程领域,不管是实体模型还是数学模型,对多样化的数据和丰富多彩的图形的需要越来越强烈,旧的表现形式已经被层出不穷的新的、信息量大而且地位高的2D、3D图形所取代,因此在工程中合理地选择绘图方式和开发软件就变得十分重要。以实际操作经验为基础,从基本操作类到二次开发类再到高端图形图像开发类,详细地讨论了在河流工程中各种图形的绘制和处理方法选择,具有一定参照价值。     

用高程与河道断面特性平均积分曲线图解河道水面线

从恒定、渐变流河段能量方程式中推导出以高程与河道断面特性平均积分曲线图解河道水面线的方法,并通过某河段水面线计算实例说明了此方法的计算图解步骤。对于同一河道,由于高程与河道断面特性平均积分曲线不变。故曲线可重复利用。因此,对进行多种设计标准的水面线计算可很方便地直接从曲线图上得出水面线结果。

建筑制图标准中图形符号适宜性、区分性的研究

应用线段长短、间距大小视觉反应的量化规律，提出设计图形符号大小的原则——既更使其大小满足“长”“短”“大”“小”的心理要求，又要互相之间在大小上有区分性。根据图形组织的相似、接近、连续三原则提出设计图形符号形状的原则——图形符号之间尽量减少相似、接近、连续，以保证较好的区分性。通过分析发现，现行建筑制图标准中的图形符号绝大部分在大小和形状具有适宜性、区分性。     

Analysis and Optimization of Noise in Bipolar RF Harmonic Mixers

A noise analysis of bipolar harmonic mixers (BHM) used for direct-conversion receivers is presented in this paper. Analytical and simulated results for the transfer function of the mixer are presented. Simple analytical expressions describing noise contribution from all sources are derived. Estimation of flicker noise quite agrees with harmonic-balance simulation results. Based on the derived expressions, total time average noise power spectral density (PSD) at the output is compared with simulation results. For the recommended regions of operation, error is less than 20%. The overall BHM noise figure (NF) is calculated and optimized based on a simple extracted formula. Errors introduced by analysis remain within a 1.5-dB margin with respect to simulation results. The validity of analysis for high frequencies is justified. The effect of flicker noise coefficient on the overall mixer NF is compared for different available processes.     

Attachment to the therapist.

This study examines the ways in which therapists function as attachment figures for patients. Patients in long-term psychoanalytic therapy answered questionnaires about their feelings about their therapists and their closest personal relationships. Components of attachment prominent in the therapeutic relationships were looking up to the therapist and feeling the therapist was responsive to emotional needs. Stronger attachment to therapists was associated with greater frequency and duration of therapy, a stronger working alliance, and greater security of the patients' attachment style, as well as with the gender of the patient and therapist. Using attachment theory to understand psychoanalytic relationships emphasizes the unique importance of a therapist to a patient and can offer new perspectives on both therapeutic and attachment processes.
