However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.展开更多

This design uses the concept of software radio, and it consists of the following parts： front-end, acquisition, tracking, synchronization, navigation solution and some assisting modules. In the acquisition module, the acquisition algorithm based on circular correlation is utilized. The input data and the local code are converted into the frequency domain by means of the fast Fourier transform （FFT）. After performing circular correlation, the initial phase of the C/A code can be obtained and the cartier frequency can be found in 1 kHz frequency resolution, which is too coarse to use for the tracking loop. In order to improve the frequency resolution, the fine frequency estimation through a phase relationship is then achieved, by which, the frequency resolution is improved dramatically. Experiments show that the inaccuracy of the carrier frequency can be estimated within a few hertz by the fine frequency estimation method, and the fine frequency attained can be directly used for the tracking loop.展开更多

Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.
文摘In this paper,an interference cancellation based neural receiver for superimposed pilot(SIP)in multi-layer transmission is proposed,where the data and pilot are non-orthogonally superimposed in the same time-frequency resource.Specifically,to deal with the intra-layer and inter-layer interference of SIP under multi-layer transmission,the interference cancellation with superimposed symbol aided channel estimation is leveraged in the neural receiver,accompanied by the pre-design of pilot code-division orthogonal mechanism at transmitter.In addition,to address the complexity issue for inter-vendor collaboration and the generalization problem in practical deployments,respectively,this paper also provides a fixed SIP(F-SIP)design based on constant pilot power ratio and scalable mechanisms for different modulation and coding schemes(MCSs)and transmission layers.Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed schemes on the performance of block error rate and throughput compared with existing counterparts.

文摘Prostate cancer(PCa)is characterized by high incidence and propensity for easy metastasis,presenting significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment.Tumor microenvironment(TME)-responsive nanomaterials provide a promising prospect for imaging-guided precision therapy.Considering that tumor-derived alkaline phosphatase(ALP)is over-expressed in metastatic PCa,it makes a great chance to develop a theranostics system with ALP responsive in the TME.Herein,an ALP-responsive aggregationinduced emission luminogens(AIEgens)nanoprobe AMNF self-assembly was designed for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic PCa.The nanoprobe exhibited self-aggregation in the presence of ALP resulted in aggregation-induced fluorescence,and enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention period at the tumor site.In terms of detection,the fluorescence(FL)/computed tomography(CT)/magnetic resonance(MR)multi-mode imaging effect of nanoprobe was significantly improved post-aggregation,enabling precise diagnosis through the amalgamation of multiple imaging modes.Enhanced CT/MR imaging can achieve assist preoperative tumor diagnosis,and enhanced FL imaging technology can achieve“intraoperative visual navigation”,showing its potential application value in clinical tumor detection and surgical guidance.In terms of treatment,AMNF showed strong absorption in the near infrared region after aggregation,which improved the photothermal treatment effect.Overall,our work developed an effective aggregation-enhanced theranostic strategy for ALP-related cancers.

文摘In this paper,we investigate a distributed multi-input multi-output and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) dual-functional radar-communication(DFRC) system,which enables simultaneous communication and sensing in different subcarrier sets.To obtain the best tradeoff between communication and sensing performance,we first derive Cramer-Rao Bound(CRB) of targets in detection area,and then maximize the transmission rate by jointly optimizing the power/subcarriers allocation and the selection of radar receivers under the constraints of detection performance and total transmit power.To tackle the non-convex mixed integer programming problem,we decompose the original problem into a semidefinite programming(SDP) problem and a convex quadratic integer problem and solve them iteratively.The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm,as well as the performance improvement brought by optimizing radar receivers selection.

文摘As a novel signaling technology,the power splitting receiver(PSR)simultaneously employs both the coherent and non-coherent signal processing.In order to improve its communication performance,an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is introduced into its signal propagation path.Consequently,an IRSaided PSR is concerned for a point-to-point(P2P)data link,where both the single-antenna and multiantenna deployments on the receiver are discussed.We aim at maximizing the capacity of the concerned P2P data-link by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of IRS and the splitting ratio of PSR,either in single-antenna or multi-antenna case.However,owing to the coupling of multiple variables,the optimization problems are non-convex and challenging,especially in the later multi-antenna case.The proposed alternating-approximating algorithm(A-A),aided by semi-definite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation(SCA)methods,etc.,successfully overcomes these challenges.We compare the IRS-aided PSR system that optimized by our proposed algorithm to the systems without IRS or PSR,and the systems without joint optimization.The simulation results show that our proposal has a better performance.

文摘Based on the observational data from 60 short-period stations deployed in the Jishishan M6.2 earthquake epicenter and adjacent regions(Gansu Province,2023),this study inverted the near-surface S-wave velocity structure through teleseismic receiver function analysis by using the amplitude of direct P-wave.The results reveal that the epicentral area(Liugou Township and surroundings)exhibits markedly low S-wave velocities of 400-600 m/s,with a mean value of(500±50)m/s.In contrast,intermountain basins-Guanting Basin and Dahejia Basin-demonstrate significantly elevated velocities,exceeding the epicentral zone by 100-300 m/s,with values concentrated at 600-900 m/s.Notably,localized areas such as Jintian Village and Caotan Village maintain stable S-wave velocities of(700±30)m/s.The western margin tectonic belt of Jishishan displays distinctive velocity differentiation:A pronounced velocity gradient zone along the 35.8°N latitude boundary separates northern areas(<550 m/s)from southern regions(>750 m/s).These findings demonstrate significant spatial heterogeneity in shallow S-wave velocity structures,primarily controlled by three factors:(1)topographic-geomorphic units,(2)stratigraphic lithological contrasts,and(3)anthropogenic modifications.The persistent low-velocity anomalies(<600 m/s)in the epicentral zone and northern Yellow River T2 terrace likely correlate with Quaternary unconsolidated sediments,enhanced groundwater circulation,and bedrock weathering.These results provide critical geophysical constraints for understanding both the seismogenic environment of the Jishishan earthquake and its damage distribution patterns.Furthermore,they establish a foundational framework for regional seismic intensity evaluation,site amplification analysis,and secondary hazard risk assessment.

文摘Low-carbon smart parks achieve selfbalanced carbon emission and absorption through the cooperative scheduling of direct current(DC)-based distributed photovoltaic,energy storage units,and loads.Direct current power line communication(DC-PLC)enables real-time data transmission on DC power lines.With traffic adaptation,DC-PLC can be integrated with other complementary media such as 5G to reduce transmission delay and improve reliability.However,traffic adaptation for DC-PLC and 5G integration still faces the challenges such as coupling between traffic admission control and traffic partition,dimensionality curse,and the ignorance of extreme event occurrence.To address these challenges,we propose a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based delay sensitive and reliable traffic adaptation algorithm(DSRTA)to minimize the total queuing delay under the constraints of traffic admission control,queuing delay,and extreme events occurrence probability.DSRTA jointly optimizes traffic admission control and traffic partition,and enables learning-based intelligent traffic adaptation.The long-term constraints are incorporated into both state and bound of drift-pluspenalty to achieve delay awareness and enforce reliability guarantee.Simulation results show that DSRTA has lower queuing delay and more reliable quality of service(QoS)guarantee than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

文摘Increasing the number of atoms that interact with microwave fields represents a promising strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based superheterodyne receivers.Nevertheless,the practical implementation of this approach is impeded by adverse effects such as excitation saturation of Rydberg atoms and power broadening.Here,we demonstrate enhanced microwave field measurements based on two specific velocity groups of atoms,simultaneously addressed by dual-channel probe beams in a Sagnac loop interferometer.The application of resonance detuning in two-photon excitation enables selective addressing of atoms moving along the beam direction,thereby significantly mitigating atomic transit noise.At 7.97 GHz,our method yields a 3 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),achieving a sensitivity of 10.7 nV·cm^(−1)·Hz^(−1/2).This approach offers a viable pathway to further improve the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based microwave electrometers.

文摘In planning and executing marine controlled-source electromagnetic methods, seafloor electromagnetic receivers must overcome the problems of noise, clock drift, and power consumption. To design a receiver that performs well and overcomes the abovementioned problems, we performed forward modeling of the E-field abnormal response and established the receiver＇s characteristics. We describe the design optimization and the properties of each component, that is, low-noise induction coil sensor, low-noise Ag/AgCI electrode, low-noise chopper amplifier, digital temperature-compensated crystal oscillator module, acoustic telemetry modem, and burn wire system. Finally, we discuss the results of onshore and offshore field tests to show the effectiveness of the developed seafloor electromagnetic receiver and its performance： typical E-field noise of 0.12 nV/m/rt（Hz） at 0.5 Hz, dynamic range higher than 120 dB, clock drift lower than 1 ms/day, and continuous operation of at least 21 days.

文摘The design of a global positioning system （GPS） software receiver is introduced. This design uses the concept of software radio, and it consists of the following parts： front-end, acquisition, tracking, synchronization, navigation solution and some assisting modules. In the acquisition module, the acquisition algorithm based on circular correlation is utilized. The input data and the local code are converted into the frequency domain by means of the fast Fourier transform （FFT）. After performing circular correlation, the initial phase of the C/A code can be obtained and the cartier frequency can be found in 1 kHz frequency resolution, which is too coarse to use for the tracking loop. In order to improve the frequency resolution, the fine frequency estimation through a phase relationship is then achieved, by which, the frequency resolution is improved dramatically. Experiments show that the inaccuracy of the carrier frequency can be estimated within a few hertz by the fine frequency estimation method, and the fine frequency attained can be directly used for the tracking loop.

High bandwidth and high sensitivity are achieved through a fully differential transimpedance amplifier with balanced input loads and two photodetectors to convert the incident light into a pair of differential photogenerated currents,respectively. In addition,a corresponding 0.35μm standard CMOS optoelectronic integrated receiver with two 60μm × 30μm, 1. 483pF fingered p^＋/n- well/p-substrate photodiodes is also presented. The simulation results demonstrate that it achieves a 1.37GHz bandwidth and a 81.9dBΩ transimpedance gain,supporting data rates up to at least 2Gbit/s. The device consumes a core area of 0. 198mm^2 and the optical sensitivity is at least - 13dBm for a 10^-12 bit error rate under a 2^15 - 1 PRBS input signal.
