Depending on the cooling rate and temperature, the different structures were obtained from the initial near-γ (NG) microstructures by heat treatment in the α+γ field. The results show that the microstructures of samples after furnace cooling (FC) consist primarily of equiaxed γ and α 2 grains, with a few grains containing lamellae. Duplex microstructures consist mainly of γ grains and lamellar colonies were obtained in the quenching into another furnace at 900°C (QFC) samples. However, further increasing of the cooling rate to air cooling (AC) induces the transformation of α→α_2 and results in a microstructure with equiaxed γ and α_2 grains, and no lamellar colonies are found.展开更多

To estimate the unknown scalar, its phase is decomposed into a fractional phase and an integer phase. However, the maximum-likelihood （ML） algorithm for the fractional phase does not have closed-form solutions and suffers from high computational complexity. By ex- ploring the structures of widely used constellations, this paper proposes a low-complexity fractional phase estimation algorithm which requires no exhaustive search. Analytical expressions of the asymptotic mean squared error （MSE） are also derived. The theo- retical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed fractional phase estimation algorithm exhibits almost the same performance as the ML algorithm but with significantly reduced computational burden.展开更多

The dual-energy gamma-ray device is composed of radioactive isotopes of 241Am and 137Cs with emission energies of 59.5 keV and 662 keV respectively. A rational method to calibrate the absorption coefficient was introduced in detail. The statistical error has been analyzed on the basis of the accurate absorption coefficient which enables determination phrase fractions almost independent of the flow regime.

Experimental results indicate that the nanoindentation hardness of cementite grains is between 14.15 GPa and 17.61 GPa,with a mean value of 15.40 GPa.

And the relation between the volume fraction of liquid phase and the recrystallization microstructure was proposed. The results show that increase in reheating temperature and time can augment the volume fraction of liquid phase and accelerate the grain spheroidization, as a result of which the requirement of semi-solid forming can be satisfied. Due to the higher aberration energy of grain boundary, the melting point is lowered as a result of the easy diffusion of atoms. At higher reheating temperature the grain boundary melts, the growth of the recrystallized grain is inhibited and the grain is refined. The composition of the low melt-point phase along the recrystallized grains was determined using EDS. It can be seen from the experimental results that when the extrusion rod of the wrought aluminum alloy is reheated at 610℃ for 20min, perfect fine equiaxial grains can be obtained, the average grain size is about 66.34μm and the volume fraction of solid phase is about 68%.展开更多

The transmitter adopts a digital offset quadrature phase-shift keying（O-QPSK） modulator and passive direct-phase multiplexing technology, which are energy-and hardware-efficient, to enhance the data rate for a given spectrum.A passive mixer and a capacitor cross-coupled（CCC） source-follower driving amplifier（DA） are also designed for the transmitter to further reduce the low power consumption. For the receiver, a power-aware low-noise amplifier（LNA） and a quadrature mixer are applied. The LNA adopts a CCC boost common-gate amplifier as the input stage, and its current is reused for the second stage to save power. The mixer uses a shared amplification stage for the following passive IQ mixer. Phase noise suppression of the phase-locked loop（PLL） is achieved by utilizing an even-harmonics-nulled series-coupled quadrature oscillator（QVCO） and an in-band noise-aware charge pump（CP） design. The transceiver achieves a measured data rate of 0.8 Gbps with power consumption of 16 m W and31.5 m W for the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. The optimized integrated phase noise of the PLL is0.52° at 4.025 GHz.展开更多
