However, when there are frequency offsets during the signal transmission, the inter-carrier interference （ICI） is introduced, which significantly degrades the performance. The existing ICI self-cancellation schemes such as PCC-OFDM are not optimum to minimize the interference considering both noise and ICI. In this paper, a new metric named S1NR （signal-to-interference- and-noise ratio） is proposed. We discuss the optimization issue when a constant frequency offset exists and in time-varying channels. The optimum weighting-coefficient-pair （OWCP） is obtained, which maximizes SINR theoretically through the alternant iteration algorithm. Simulations show that the performance of OWCP-OFDM is better than that of PCC-OFDM, especially when the frequency offset is large. Although the ICI self-cancellation scheme suffers bandwidth inefficiency, from the simulation results we can also see that the performance of OWCP-OFDM is much better than that of the standard OFDM systems with the same bandwidth efficiency when a frequency offset exists. Moreover, since the redundant modulation provides the capability to suppress ICI as well as a receiving SNR gain, it can be considered as exchanging the bandwidth for SNR.展开更多

Therefore,it is necessary to analyze the mechanism and influence factor of ICI in HST environment. In this paper, by using a non-stationary geometry-based stochastic model( GBSM) for MIMO HST channels, ICI is analyzed through investigating the channel coefficients and the carrier-to-interference power ratio( CIR). It is a fact that most of signal energy spreads on itself and its several neighborhood subcarriers. By investigating the amplitude of subcarriers, CIR is used to evaluate the ICI power level. The simulation results show that the biggest impact factor for the CIR is the multipath number L and the minimum impact factor K; when the train speed υR> 400 km / h,the normalized Doppler frequency offset ε > 0. 35,the CIR tends to zero,and the communication quality will be very poor at this condition. Finally,bit error rate( BER) is investigated by simulating a specific channel environment.展开更多

Firstly,based on the characteristic that the ICI generated by a subcarrier to the two adjacent subcarriers is approximately equal, a data pair with opposite sign and equal magnitude is modulated onto two adjacent subcarriers as pilot pair to eliminate the effect of ICI on pilots. Secondly, a new OFDM channel estimation model based on linear time-varying（LTV） model and compressed sensing（CS） is constructed, which obtains the mean of the gains of the multipath.Finally, a pilot pair optimization algorithm based on two layers loop is used to realize the minimization of the mutual coherence of the measurement matrix. For time-varying channel scenes with different numbers or delay of multipath and maximum Doppler frequency shift, the performances of several channel estimation methods are verified by simulation. The result shows that the new method has obvious advantage in both the performance of the channel estimation and the spectral efficiency.展开更多

文摘Flexible multifunctional polymer-based electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding composite films play a pivotal role in 5 G communication technology,smart wearables,automotive electronics,and aerospace.In this work,(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene/cellulose nanofibers(CNF)-(hydroxy‑functionalized BNNS(BNNS-OH)/CNF)composite films(TBCF)with Janus structure are prepared via vacuum-assisted filtration of BNNS-OH/CNF and Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/CNF suspension by one after another.Then ionic bonding-strengthened TBCF(ITBCF)is obtained by Ca^(2+)ion infiltration and cold-pressing technique.The Janus structure endows ITBCF with the unique“conductive on one side and insulating on the other”property.When the mass ratio of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) and BNNS is 1:1 and the total mass fraction is 70 wt.%,the electrical conductivity(σ)of the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/CNF side of ITBCF reaches 166.7 S/cm,while the surface resistivity of the BNNS-OH/CNF side is as high as 304 MΩ.After Ca^(2+)ion infiltration,the mechanical properties of ITBCF are significantly enhanced.The tensile strength and modulus of ITBCF are 73.5 MPa and 15.6 GPa,which are increased by 75.9%and 46.2%compared with those of TBCF,respectively.Moreover,ITBCF exhibits outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness(SE)of 57 dB and thermal conductivity(λ)of 9.49 W/(m K).In addition,ITBCF also presents excellent photothermal and photoelectric energy conversion performance.Under simulated solar irradiation with a power density of 120 mW/cm^(2),the surface stabilization temperature reaches up to 65.3°C and the maximum steady state voltage reaches up to 58.2 mV.

文摘Robust, ultra-flexible, and multifunctional MXene-basedelectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding nanocomposite filmsexhibit enormous potential for applications in artificial intelligence,wireless telecommunication, and portable/wearable electronic equipment.In this work, a nacre-inspired multifunctional heterocyclic aramid(HA)/MXene@polypyrrole (PPy) (HMP) nanocomposite paper withlarge-scale, high strength, super toughness, and excellent tolerance tocomplex conditions is fabricated through the strategy of HA/MXenehydrogel template-assisted in-situ assembly of PPy. Benefiting from the"brick-and-mortar" layered structure and the strong hydrogen-bondinginteractions among MXene, HA, and PPy, the paper exhibits remarkable mechanical performances, including high tensile strength (309.7 MPa),outstanding toughness (57.6 MJ m−3), exceptional foldability, and structural stability against ultrasonication. By using the template effect ofHA/MXene to guide the assembly of conductive polymers, the synthesized paper obtains excellent electronic conductivity. More importantly,the highly continuous conductive path enables the nanocomposite paper to achieve a splendid EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 54.1 dBat an ultra-thin thickness (25.4 μm) and a high specific EMI SE of 17,204.7 dB cm2g−1. In addition, the papers also have excellent applicationsin electromagnetic protection, electro-/photothermal de-icing, thermal therapy, and fire safety. These findings broaden the ideas for developinghigh-performance and multifunctional MXene-based films with enormous application potential in EMI shielding and thermal management.

文摘A new method based on the iterative adaptive algorithm(IAA)and blocking matrix preprocessing(BMP)is proposed to study the suppression of multi-mainlobe interference.The algorithm is applied to precisely estimate the spatial spectrum and the directions of arrival(DOA)of interferences to overcome the drawbacks associated with conventional adaptive beamforming(ABF)methods.The mainlobe interferences are identified by calculating the correlation coefficients between direction steering vectors(SVs)and rejected by the BMP pretreatment.Then,IAA is subsequently employed to reconstruct a sidelobe interference-plus-noise covariance matrix for the preferable ABF and residual interference suppression.Simulation results demonstrate the excellence of the proposed method over normal methods based on BMP and eigen-projection matrix perprocessing(EMP)under both uncorrelated and coherent circumstances.

文摘Conductive polymer foam(CPF)with excellent compressibility and variable resistance has promising applications in electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and other integrated functions for wearable electronics.However,its insufficient change amplitude of resistance with compressive strain generally leads to a degradation of shielding performance during deformation.Here,an innovative loading strategy of conductive materials on polymer foam is proposed to significantly increase the contact probability and contact area of conductive components under compression.Unique inter-skeleton conductive films are constructed by loading alginate-decorated magnetic liquid metal on the polymethacrylate films hanged between the foam skeleton(denoted as AMLM-PM foam).Traditional point contact between conductive skeletons under compression is upgraded to planar contact between conductive films.Therefore,the resistance change of AMLM-PM reaches four orders of magnitude under compression.Moreover,the inter-skeleton conductive films can improve the mechanical strength of foam,prevent the leakage of liquid metal and increase the scattering area of EM wave.AMLM-PM foam has strain-adaptive EMI shielding performance and shows compression-enhanced shielding effectiveness,solving the problem of traditional CPFs upon compression.The upgrade of resistance response also enables foam to achieve sensitive pressure sensing over a wide pressure range and compression-regulated Joule heating function.
文摘BACKGROUND Bioabsorbable interference screws are a widely used option for graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction.Their ability to degrade over time and avoid secondary hardware removal makes them advantageous.However,complications such as breakage and intra-articular migration of screws can cause significant clinical issues,including joint pain,swelling,and cartilage damage.Early diagnosis and management are critical in such cases.CASE SUMMARY A 26-year-old male presented with knee pain and swelling one year after ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft and bioabsorbable tibial interference screw.The patient had been engaged in rigorous physical activity as part of military training.Clinical examination revealed mild effusion without instability,and imaging showed screw breakage with intra-articular migration.Therapeutic arthroscopy confirmed intact graft tension,and broken screw fragments were removed successfully.The patient resumed normal activity two weeks after surgery.CONCLUSION This case highlights the potential complications associated with bioabsorbable screws,emphasizing the need for meticulous surgical technique,postoperative monitoring,and timely intervention.A comprehensive review of the literature illustrates the mechanisms,risk factors,and preventive strategies associated with screw-related complications.

文摘Interference significantly impacts the performance of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS),highlighting the need for advanced interference localization technology to bolster anti-interference and defense capabilities.The Uniform Circular Array(UCA)enables concurrent estimation of the Direction of Arrival(DOA)in both azimuth and elevation.Given the paramount importance of stability and real-time performance in interference localization,this work proposes an innovative approach to reduce the complexity and increase the robustness of the DOA estimation.The proposed method reduces computational complexity by selecting a reduced number of array elements to reconstruct a non-uniform sparse array from a UCA.To ensure DOA estimation accuracy,minimizing the Cramér-Rao Bound(CRB)is the objective,and the Spatial Correlation Coefficient(SCC)is incorporated as a constraint to mitigate side-lobe.The optimization model is a quadratic fractional model,which is solved by Semi-Definite Relaxation(SDR).When the array has perturbations,the mathematical expressions for CRB and SCC are re-derived to enhance the robustness of the reconstructed array.Simulation and hardware experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in estimating interference DOA,showing high robustness and reductions in hardware and computational costs associated with DOA estimation.

文摘In wideband noncooperative interference cancellation,the reference signals obtained through auxiliary antennas are weighted to cancel with the interference signal.The correlation between the reference signal and the interference signal determines interference cancellation performance,while the auxiliary antenna array affects the correlation by influencing the amplitude and phase of the reference signals.This paper analyzes the effect of auxiliary antenna array on multiple performances of wideband noncooperative interference cancellation.Firstly,the array received signal model of wideband interference is established,and the weight vector coupled with the auxiliary antennas array manifold is solved by spectral analysis and eigen-subspace decomposition.Then,multiple performances which include cancellation resolution,grating null,wideband interference cancellation ratio(ICR),and convergence rate are quantitatively characterized with the auxiliary antenna array.It is obtained through analysis that the performances mutually restrict the auxiliary antenna array.Higher cancellation resolution requires larger array aperture,but when the number of auxiliary antennas is fixed,larger array aperture results in more grating nulls.When the auxiliary antennas are closer to the main antenna,the wideband ICR is improved,but the convergence rate is reduced.The conclusions are verified through simulation of one-dimensional uniform array and two-dimensional nonuniform array.The experiments of three arrays are compared,and the results conform well with simulation and support the theoretical analysis.

文摘With the advancement of electronic countermeasures,airborne synthetic aperture radar(SAR)systems are facing increasing challenges in maintaining effective performance in hostile environments.In particular,high-power interference can severely degrade SAR imaging and signal processing,often rendering target detection impossible.This highlights the urgent need for robust anti-interference solutions in both the signal processing and image processing domains.While current methods address interference across various domains,techniques such as waveform modification and spatial filtering typically increase the system costs and complexity.To overcome these limitations,we propose a novel approach that leverages the multi-domain characteristics of interference to efficiently suppress narrowband interference and repeater modulation interference.Specifically,narrowband interference is mitigated using notch filtering,a signal processing technique that effectively filters out unwanted frequencies,while repeater modulation interference is addressed through strong signal amplitude normalization,which enhances both the signal and image processing quality.These methods were validated through tests on real SAR data,demonstrating significant improvements in the imaging performance and system robustness.Our approach offers valuable insights for advancing anti-interference technologies in SAR systems and provides a cost-effective solution to enhance their resilience in complex electronic warfare environments.

文摘In this paper,a novel Filter bank multicarrier/quadrature amplitude modulation(FBMC/QAM)scheme which separates the real and imaginary part of the subcarriers in a multipath time-varying fading channel is put forward and analyzed in detail.By applying the methods of mapping the time-domain symbols and reducing the correlation of frequency-domain symbols,the presented scheme can eliminate the intrinsic imaginary interference more thoroughly and greatly mitigate residual interference as well as receive a good peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)mitigation effect.Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that compared with the existing schemes with the methods of pre-coding(FBMC/QAM-CC)and iterative interference cancellation(FBMC/QAM-IIC),our adopted scheme can not only obtain better performances on bit error rate(BER)and out-of-band(OOB)emission with no loss of transmission efficiency,but also achieve a good PAPR mitigation effect with a small increase in complexity.

文摘Wave-particle duality is one of the key features of quantum physics,characterized by the interference pattern.Meanwhile,Floquet spectroscopy is typically studied in the high-frequency region because the Floquet sidebands are very sharp,behaving like“particles”in frequency space,and no interference phenomena are observed.Here,we consider the larger quantum fluctuation region where the Floquet sidebands are broader,making interference between them possible.With the help of an optical lattice clock experimental platform and numerical simulations,such interference of Floquet modes in frequency space is clearly observed.Additionally,it exhibits many exotic phenomena,such as large Floquet sidebands between integer ones,sensitivity to the initial phase,and corresponding emergent symmetries.To analytically elucidate this,we propose the Floquet channel interference hypothesis,which surprisingly matches quantitatively well with both experimental and numerical results.Our research paves the way for developing a new type of interferometer that could be applicable to other Floquet systems.
