By seeding with narrow-band Cherenkov radiation from a dielectric loaded waveguide(DLW), stimulated excitation in an optical cavity is presented. The evolution and energy loss of the field oscillating in optical cavity is analysed by the theoretical and numerical calculation. The results show that the high order TM modes of the Cherenkov radiation can be better preserved after a large number of roundtrips in the optical cavity and this scheme offers a potential method of realizing high power Terahertz radiation source in a compact facility., Proceedings of the 10th Int.

For most software systems, pair-wise combinatorial testing is highly practical and effective. This article mainly starts with the specific research status of the pair-wise covering combinatorial test and the main content of the software test, analyzes and compares the existing main implementation algorithms, and then evaluates their specific performance.

A carving, cutting, and flip-chip bonding process is proposed for the fabrication of flexible electric double layer transistors (EDLTs) with low cost. Solution processed poly(styrenesulfonic acid sodium salt) is used as a gate dielectric. The large EDL-specific capacitance ( $4.5~\mu \text{F}$ /cm2 at 20 Hz) can induce very high charge carrier density in the InGaZnO (IGZO) channel layer, enabling the EDLTs to operate at a single-battery-drivable low voltage of 1.0 V with a high on-current of 10−4A. The effect of IGZO layer thickness on the performance of EDLTs was investigated. The flexible EDLT with optimized IGZO thickness of 100 nm has achieved a high on/off ratio of $1.4 \times 10^{7}$ , a low threshold voltage of 0.51 V, a saturated field-effect mobility of 1.14 cm2/Vs, and high positive gate bias stress stability. Furthermore, the achieved subthreshold swing, 76 mV/dec, is very close to the theoretical ideal minimum value.

In this paper, a new radiation scheme, which adopts the high order harmonic of modulated electron beam from dielectric loaded waveguide to excite the Smith-Purcell terahertz (THz) radiation, is proposed and in-vestigated by numerical simulations. The results show that the radiation with frequency close to 1.0 THz is generated, while, the fundamental bunching frequency of electron beam is 0.28 THz. Thus, this scheme offer a new method to get the higher frequency THz radiation., Proceedings of the 9th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2018, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Given a start point s, a target point t, and k disjoint convex polygons in the given order in the plane, finding the shortest path of visiting the convex polygons sequence from s to t is the goal. In this paper, we present a fast algorithm to compute the shortest path based on the last step shortest path maps. Firstly, we locate the dividing-points quickly in the two adjacent polygons, which can reduce amounts of iteratively computation. Then, we convert this problem to solving the shortest path of visiting the disjoint line segments sequence which makes the solution much simpler. Furthermore, we analyze the complexity of new algorithm and obtain that it is superior to the previous solution. Finally, we implement this algorithm and show that it is correct.

No-till planting can promote soil and water conservation and has gradually been adopted on the North China Plain where an annual wheat–corn double cropping system serves as the main cropping system. Corn is planted in June immediately after the winter wheat harvest so that fields are covered with wheat residues. The presence of wheat straw makes it difficult to maintain uniform corn seed spacing and sowing depth. To overcome these problems, a new seeder unit has been developed with a depth-control mechanism on a single-sided gauge wheel. A study was conducted to compare the performance of this seeder unit with two conventional seeder units (with depth-control mechanisms using double-sided gauge wheels and a rear gauge wheel) by testing in fields with two different amounts of residue (0.78 kg/m2 and 0.64 kg/m2). Seed spacing, sowing depth, and emergence time were measured after planting. The results indicate that the newly designed seeder unit with a single-sided gauge wheel performs better on seed spacing, sowing depth and emergence time uniformity, particularly in fields with a small amount of residue, with the quality of feed index, quality of sowing depth index and quality of emergence time index of 91.90%, 95.45% and 87.87%, respectively. The new seeder unit can meet the requirements of no-till planting for corn.

The B. Steiner estimator used in the TD-SCDMA system assumes that the channel response during one timeslot is constant, which results in big errors under the fast varying channel condition compared with the real channel response. In order to solve this problem, a novel channel estimation method is proposed for the TD-SCDMA system. Every timeslot is separated into several segments, the multi-segment estimation and multi-slot LSM fit is used to improve the accuracy of channel estimation. By comparing this two methods and analyzing their effects to detection, especially for the joint detection (JD) algorithm of TD-SCDMA system, simulation results show that the novel channel estimation is more close to the real channel response, which can largely improve the system performance, especially for the fast varying channel environment

Simulation results show that: by using the proposed multi-antenna pre-processing technology, the capacity and performance of TD-SCDMA system is significantly improved. Meanwhile, the improved multi-antenna pre-processing algorithm performs better than the basic algorithm under fast varying channel condition.

An adaptive hybrid MIMO scheme has been proposed for multi-antenna system based on the uniformed hybrid MIMO model combining the transmit diversity and spatial multiplexing. The adaptive hybrid MIMO scheme adaptively adjusts the allocation of freedom degree i.e. gain ratio between the diversity and multiplexing with the adaptive hybrid MIMO precoding according to the variation of channel condition to achieve the necessary diversity gain and spatial multiplexing gain simultaneously; Meanwhile, an adaptive hybrid detection method is designed to complete the hybrid spatial multiplexing signal separation and transmit diversity signal decoding. Simulation results show that: for the multi-antenna system with the fixed antennas, compared with other transmit diversity and spatial multiplexing schemes, the proposed adaptive hybrid MIMO scheme can achieve the best performance and highest capacity during the whole channel SNR variation span.

A downlink grouping transmission scheme has been proposed for TDD OFDM system. The coded bits are separated into several branches according to their priority, and then the results are adaptively allocated and transmitted on the 2-demension time-frequency channel blocks, which are also separated into different groups according to their power. Simulation results show that this scheme can significantly improve the performance of TDD OFDM system. Meanwhile, the grouping modulation and downlink time-frequency channel prediction can further enhance the grouping transmission.

Simulation results show that the SDM-JT scheme can significantly improve the capacity and performance of TD-SCDMA system while the complexity of Mobile station (MS) is sharply reduced.
