For the excellent mode-selective propagation ability, it is of value for applications in gyrotron-traveling-wave amplifiers (gyro-TWT), accelerators, and other microwave propagation systems. This paper focuses on studying the application of the strong lossy-dielectric- loaded periodic waveguide in millimeter-wave gyro-TWT. It is revealed that due to the lossy property of the dielectric, the energy in the dielectric slots is absorbed effectively and the high order Bloch harmonics induced by the periodicity of the structure are suppressed, which changes the discrete spectrum under losstess condition into a continuous one. As a result, the periodicity of the system is severely suppressed and a mode in the hollow region could be approximated by a fast wave mode in an empty waveguide. These results bring specific guidance for the applications of the lossy dielectric-loaded waveguide in gyro-TWTs and other devices.展开更多

It aims at optimizing the subjective quality of the restored video under the constraints of low delay and computational complexity, which are critical to real-time applications and portable devices having limited resources. Specifically, it takes into consideration the physical property of motion field in order to achieve more meaningful perceptual video quality, in addition to the improved objective PSNR. Further, a simple bilinear spatial interpolation approach is combined with the improved boundary-match (B-M) based temporal EC approach according to texture and motion activity analysis. Finally, we propose a low complexity temporal EC method based on motion vector interpolation as a replacement of the B-M based approach in the scheme under low-computation requirement, or as a complement to further improve the scheme's performance in applications having enough computation resources. Extensive experiments demonstrated that the proposal features not only better reconstruction, objectively and subjectively, than JM benchmark, but also robustness to different video sequences.展开更多

Indium tin oxide(ITO)and aluminum-doped zinc oxide(AZO) are considered as LMR active materials used to excite several lossy modes and gold and silver are used as surface plasmon resonance(SPR) active materials. In this probe design, a central uniform core coated with ITO/AZO is the active sensing region, whereas tapered regions are meant for bringing the incident angle close to the critical angle. The sensitivity of the present fiber optic bio-sensor is evaluated for first two LMRs utilizing both ITO and AZO separately, along with its variation with the taper ratio(TR). For ITO, the maximum sensitivity values are observed to be 18.425 μm RIU^(-1)(refractive index unit)and 0.825 μm RIU^(-1), corresponding to the first and second LMRs, respectively, at a TR of 1.6 and for AZO, equivalent values are 0.79 μm RIU^(-1) and 0.35 μm RIU^(-1), respectively, at a TR of2.0. The results illustrate that the first LMR is more sensitive than the second LMR and the ITOcoated probe possesses greater sensitivity than the AZO-coated probe for both LMRs. Similarly,for the fiber optic SPR sensor, the maximum value of sensitivity is 5.6425 μm RIU^(-1), in the case of gold and 5.0615 μm RIU^(-1) in the case of silver, at a TR of 1.6. Hence, the result shows that the sensor with the present fiber optic probe design has around a 3-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared with conventional SPR sensors. This study will have applications in many sensing schemes where the requirement of large sensitivity is vital.展开更多

Given topology dynamics and bandwidth constraints, a space-efficient packet marking scheme is first introduced. The scheme uses a Bloom filter as a compression tool so that path information can bc piggybacked by data packets. Based on the path information, LoNI then adopts a fast algorithm to detect lossy nodes. The algorithm formulates the inference problem as a weighted set-cover problem and solves it using a greedy approach with low complexity. Simulations show that LoNI can locate about 80% of lossy nodes when lossy nodes are rare in the network. Furthermore, LoNI performs better for the lossy nodes near the sink or with higher loss rates.展开更多

The amplifier is susceptible to oscillations when the operating current level is higher than the start-oscillation current. There are several ways of calculating the start-oscillation current, including using the linear and nonlinear theory of a gyro-TWT. In this paper, a simple way of determining the start-oscillation current of lossy gyro-TWT is introduced. The linear TWT parameters that include the effects of synchronism, loss, and gain, were converted to gyro-TWT parameters to calculate the start-oscillation-current. The dependence on magnetic field, loss, and beam alpha was investigated. Calculations were carried out for a V-band gyro-TWT for both operating and competing modes. The proposed method of calculating the start-oscillation current provides a simple and fast way to estimate the oscillation conditions and can be used for the design process of a gyro-TWT.展开更多

The verification of workability of the proposed current mode integrator is well explained by the help of SPICE simulations using TSMC CMOS 0.18 μm technology node.
文摘Image compression techniques aim to reduce redundant information in order to allow data storage and transmission in an efficient way. In this work, we propose and analyze a lossy image compression method based on the singular value decomposition using an optimal choice of eigenvalues and an adaptive mechanism for block partitioning. Experiments are conducted on several images to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed compression method in comparison with the direct application of the singular value decomposition.
