PERFORMANCE STUDY OF ENHANCED FQPSK AND CONSTRAINED ENVELOPE MODULATION TECHNIQUES

Borah, Deva K., Horan, Stephen 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper investigates the spectral properties and the bit error rate (BER) performance of enhanced FQPSK (EFQPSK) and constrained envelope modulation (CEM) techniques. Both the techniques are found to provide good spectral efficiencies. The EFQPSK signals are found to generate spectral lines for unbalanced data. An analytical spectral study for the spectral lines is presented. While the performance of CEM techniques has been presented in [6] for an ideal nonlinear amplifier, we present results for more realistic amplifiers with AM/AM and AM/PM effects. It is shown that such an amplifier generates spectral regrowth and a predistorter is required to reduce the adverse effects. A BER performance study with/without channel coding is also presented for the two techniques.

AN ENHANCED, CONSTANT ENVELOPE, INTEROPERABLE SHAPED OFFSET QPSK (SOQPSK) WAVEFORM FOR IMPROVED SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY

Hill, Terrance J. 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Shaped BPSK (SBPSK) and Shaped Offset QPSK (SOQPSK), as defined in various MIL standards, are widely employed on SATCOM links because they offer an attractive combination of good spectral efficiency, constant envelope characteristics, and interoperability with legacy equipments. More recently, numerous terrestrial applications of OQPSK and similar waveforms (Feher-patented FQPSK) have been proposed. The present paper describes a simple non-proprietary modification of the MIL-STD SOQPSK waveform which offers spectral containment and detection efficiency comparable to or better than FQPSK-B (Revision A1), while preserving a constant envelope characteristic and backward compatibility with existing equipment.

Interdigitated capacitor sensor for complex dielectric constant sensing

Zhang, Sheng, 1986- 26 October 2010 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a complex dielectric properties sensor using interdigitated capacitor (IDC) structure. IDCs are easy to fabricate and because of its planar structure, it can be easily integrated with other sensing components and signal processing electronics. The design, fabrication, modeling, and testing of IDC sensors are presented in this thesis. Design parameters and their influence on sensor's output signals are discussed. Previous IDC models are reviewed and the limitations are studied. A new equivalent circuit model based on the fringing electric field distribution and a novel iterative data extraction algorithm combining Finite-Element Method (FEM) and the equivalent circuit model is studied. Results suggest that the algorithm can accurately extract relatively low dielectric constant and conductivity of material under test (MUT) from measured impedance data. / text

An evaluation of coplanar line for application in microwave integrated circuitry

Jeong, Jae Soon 12 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / A general study of conductor backed coplanar waveguide is presented. The impedance (Z(0)) and effective dielectric constant (ɛ(reff)) of conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CBCPW) have been calculated by using a variational method and the boundary point matching method. In this present work only the TEM dominant low frequency propagation mode of coplanar line has been considered. Experimental facilities are vector network analyzer (HP8409) and bench-instrument measurements. / http://archive.org/details/evaluationofcopl00jeon / Captain, Korean Air Force

Novel Concept for High Dielectric Constant Composite Electrolyte Dielectrics

Fromille, Samuel S., IV 09 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release / This research was part of an ongoing program studying the concept of multi-material dielectrics (MMD) with dielectric constants much higher than homogenous materials. MMD described in this study have dielectric constants six orders of magnitude greater than the best single materials. This is achieved by mixing conductive particles with an insulating surface layer into a composite matrix phase composed of high surface area ceramic powder and aqueous electrolyte. Specifically examined in this study was micron-scale nickel powder treated in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) loaded into high surface area alumina powder and aqueous boric acid solution. This new class of dielectric, composite electrolyte dielectrics (CED), is employed in an electrostatic capacitor configuration and demonstrated dielectric constant of order 10 [raised to the 10th power] at approximately 1 Volt. Additionally, it is demonstrated that treated nickel can be loaded in high volume fractions in the CED configuration. Prior studies of composite capacitors indicated a general limitation due to shorting. This results from the onset of percolation due to excess loading of conductive phases. Insulated particles described herein are successfully loaded up to 40% by volume, far above typical percolation thresholds. Simple models are presented to explain results. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

Measurements of B(Ds -> lvl) and fDs using data collected from the BaBar experiment

Randle-Conde, Aidan January 2010 (has links)
This thesis presents measurements of the branching fractions B(Ds -> lvl) and mea- surements of the pseudoscalar decay constant, fDs , using all the data acquired at the BaBar detector at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, which were collected from September 1999 to April 2007, and comprised 531 fb-1. The following mea- surements are made: B(Ds -> eve) = (6:11 +/-0:38 +/- 0:33) * 10-3, B(Ds -> tvt) = (5:06 +/- 0:34 +/- 0:50) * 10-2 , and a limit B(Ds -> eve) < 1:46 * 10-4 is obtained. Using these measurements a value of fDs = 252 +/- 6 +/- 7 +/- 1MeV is obtained, where the first uncertainties account for the statistical limitations of the data, the second uncertainties account for the systematic uncertainties, and the third uncertainties account for uncertainties associated with other physical constants (dominated by the lifetime of the Ds meson).

Fyzikálně chemické vlastnosti léčiv / Physico-Chemical Properties of Drugs

Suchý, Miroslav January 2016 (has links)
1. Abstract Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department of Biophysics and Physical Chemistry Candidate: Miroslav Suchy Supervisor: Ing. Vladimir Kubicek, CSc. Title of Diploma Thesis: Physico-Chemical properties of drugs To test physico-chemical properties of new molecules is necessary during drug development. It could be helpful to understand or predict the pharmacokinetic parametres of a new drug in vivo/in vitro experiments. One of this parameters is a dissociation constant (pK). Dissociation constant is defined as " Number on pH scale, wherein is just fifty percent of molecule in a ionization condition". In real case this number can help us to know where in the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) the drug will be absorbed. In GIT only molecules exhibiting pK from 3 to 11 could be absorbed. Out of this range it is not possible. In this work I would like to introduce the ways of experimental measurement of pK values. I was working with two methods to measure the pK values of water-soluble compounds. The spectrophotometric method and the potentiometric one. I had to find out, that potentiometric titration is primary method which gets us good and accurate results. Based on my measurement I evaluated the spectrophotometric method as the secondary method.

Zobecnění metody analytického prodloužení ve vazbové konstantě / Generalization of the method of analytical continuation in coupling constant

Brožek, Pavel January 2014 (has links)
In the thesis we study a method for determining resonance energies - gen- eralization of the method of analytical continuation in the coupling constant, which is based on continuation of the coupling constant λ as a function of the momentum k. A formula for λ(k) is derived for spherically symmetric potential consisting of finite number of δ-functions and its Taylor series is studied. Taylor series of λ(k) and its asymptotic behavior is studied for sep- arable potential. Proper choice of added potential parameters is studied on examples. A method for determining λ(k) poles is described for spherically symmetric potential with added δ-function. It is tested whether the knowl- edge of λ(k) poles can be useful to improve the accuracy of the determination of the resonance parameters of the original potential.
