However, the presence of noise introduces certain limitations and challenges. It is crucial to harness wideband technology for applications demanding the rapid and precise transmission of diverse information from one point to another within a short timeframe. The ability to report a signal without tuning within the input bandwidth stands out as one of the advantages of employing a digital wideband receiver. As indicated, a digital wideband receiver plays a pivotal role in achieving high precision and accuracy. The primary distinction between Analog and Digital Instantaneous Frequency Measurement lies in the fact that analog Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) receivers have traditionally covered extensive input bandwidths, reporting one accurate frequency per short pulse. In the contemporary landscape, digital IFM systems utilize high-sampling-rate Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) along with Hilbert transforms to generate two output channels featuring a 90-degree phase shift. This paper explores the improvement of sensitivity in current digital IFM receivers. The optimization efforts target the Hilbert transform and autocorrelations architectures, aiming to refine the system’s ability to report fine frequencies within a noisy wide bandwidth environment, thereby elevating its overall sensitivity.展开更多

We conducted a joint inversion of receiver functions and surface wave dispersions with P-wave velocity constraints using data from the Chin Array Ⅱ temporary stations deployed across the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Prior to joint inversion, we applied the H-κ-c method(Li JT et al., 2019) to the receiver function data in order to correct for the back-azimuthal variations in the arrival times of Ps phases and crustal multiples caused by crustal anisotropy and dipping interfaces. High-resolution images of vS, crustal thickness, and vP/vSstructures in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau were simultaneously derived from the joint inversion. The seismic images reveal that crustal thickness decreases outward from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The stable interiors of the Ordos and Alxa blocks exhibited higher velocities and lower crustal vP/vSratios. While, lower velocities and higher vP/vSratios were observed beneath the Qilian Orogen and Songpan-Ganzi terrane(SPGZ), which are geologically active and mechanically weak, especially in the mid-lower crust.Delamination or thermal erosion of the lithosphere triggered by hot asthenospheric flow contributes to the observed uppermost mantle low-velocity zones(LVZs) in the SPGZ. The crustal thickness, vS, and vP/vSratios suggest that whole lithospheric shortening is a plausible mechanism for crustal thickening in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, supporting the idea of coupled lithospheric-scale deformation in this region.展开更多

This study was to explore whether the combination of MSCT enhancement scan and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) level could increase the diagnostic efficiency for s HCC.METHODS: This study included 35 s HCC patients and 52 cirrhotic patients without image evidence of HCC as a control group. The diagnoses were made by three radiologists employing a 5-point rating scale, with postoperative pathologic results as the gold standard. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the three MSCT combination modes(arterial phase+portal-venous phase, arterial phase+delayed phase,arterial phase+portal-venous phase+delayed phase) and AFP levels for s HCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. RESULTS: The area under ROC curve(AUC), sensitivity,and specificity of the combination of arterial phase+portalvenous phase+delayed phase were 0.93, 93%, and 82%, respectively. The average AUC of the arterial phase+portalvenous phase+delayed phase combination was significantly greater than that of the arterial phase+portal-venous phase(AUC=0.84, P=0.01) and arterial phase+delayed phase(AUC=0.85, P=0.03). Arterial phase+portal-venous phase had a smaller AUC(0.84) than arterial phase+delayed phase(0.85), but the difference was insignificant(P=0.15). After combining MSCT enhancement scan with AFP, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.95, 94%, and 83%, respectively, indicating a greatly increased diagnostic efficiency for s HCC.CONCLUSIONS: The combination of AFP and 3 phases MSCT enhancement scan could increase the diagnostic efficiency for s HCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. The application of ROC curve analysis has provided a new method and reference in HCC diagnosis.展开更多

With very complex geological environment and tectonic background, it is oneof the seismically active areas. In the paper, the teleseismic records were selected from 16 national, local and mo-bile stations, including 4 very-wide-band mobile stations of PASSCAL. And nearly 2 000 receiver functions wereextracted. Two measuring lines are 650 km and 450 km, respectively and across some major tectonic units inWestern Yunnan. It is indicated that Nujiang might be a seam characterized by underthrusting. The western andeastern boundaries of Sichuan-Yunnan rhombus block, i.e., Honghe and Xiaojiang faults, might be an erectionseam or collision belt. Panxi tectonic zone still has the characteristics of continental rift valley, that is, the surfaceis hollow and the upper mantle is upwarping. The tectonic situation in Western Yunnan is of certain regulation withthe interlacing distribution of orogenic zone and seam. The crustal thickness decreases gradually from the north tothe south and the S wave velocity is globally lower here.展开更多

Based on data accumulation from the WHU ELF/VLF receiver system, we develop an automatic detection module in terms of the maximum-entropy-spectral-estimation(MESE) method to identify unambiguous instances of low latitude tweeks.We justify the feasibility of our procedure through a detailed analysis of the data observed at the Suizhou Station(31.57°N, 113.32°E) on17 February 2016. A total of 3961 tweeks were registered by visual inspection;the automatic detection method captured 4342 tweeks, of which 3361 were correct ones, producing a correctness percentage of 77.4%(= 3361/4342) and a false alarm rate of 22.6%(= 981/4342).A Short-Time Fourier Transformation(STFT) was also applied to trace the power spectral profiles of identified tweeks and to evaluate the tweek propagation distance. It is found that the fitting accuracy of the frequency–time curve and the relative difference of propagation distance between the two methods through the slope and through the intercept can be used to further improve the accuracy of automatic tweek identification. We suggest that our automatic tweek detection and analysis method therefore supplies a valuable means to investigate features of low latitude tweek atmospherics and associated ionospheric parameters comprehensively.展开更多

To the receiver, higher interception efficiency means more thermal shocks and stronger stresses of high temperatures mainly contribute to the reduction of receiver's life time. To address these problems,a semi-random distribution strategy is proposed to select the best aiming point of the heliostat, and the distribution of onedimensional array arranged on the centerline of the receiver is carried out for further optimization. It is shown by simulation that through our optimization the temperature distribution on the receiver surface becomes much more uniform while maintaining acceptable interception efficiency.展开更多

Starting from last decade, GPS/GNSS positioning had become one of the most used methodology thanks to the rapid development of satellite-based positioning and to the appearance of GNSS mass-market receivers and antennas. Methods based on these instruments are more affordable than the conventional ones even if their use for precise positioning is not so intuitive. This study is aimed to evaluate the use of singlefrequency GPS/GNSS mass-market receivers for cadastral surveys, considering both single-base RealTime Kinematic(RTK) and Network Real-Time Kinematic(NRTK) methodologies. Furthermore, a particular tool for predicting and estimating the occurrence of false fix of the phase ambiguities has been considered, in order to improve the accuracy and precision of the solutions. Considering the single-base positioning, the research results showed the difference of a few centimetres between the reference coordinates and the estimated ones if the distance between master and rover is less than 3 km, while considering the network positioning and the Virtual Reference Station correction, the difference are about a couple of centimetres for East and North component, and about 5 cm for the Up.展开更多

文摘The Tian Shan is a vast range that spans several countries in Asia.Understanding its evolutionary history may provide valuable insights into intracontinental orogenic dynamics.In this study,we explored the crustal characteristics of the Tian Shan and their relationships to the tectonic evolution of the region.A new H-stacking method that combines the P receiver function and gravity anomalies was used to estimate the thickness and ratio of P-to S-wave velocities(Vp/Vs)for 91 broadband seismic stations in the central and western Tian Shan.Our results revealed significant lateral variations in crustal thickness and Vp/Vs.A—45-km-thick crust and an intermediate-high Vp/Vs(-1.74-1.84)were found in the Kazakh Shield and Tarim Basin,which we interpreted to indicate a mafic crystalline basement and lower crust.The central Tian Shan varied greatly in crustal thickness(40-64 km)and Vp/Vs ratio(1.65-2.00).which may be due to crustal shortening,mafic underplating,and crustal melting.In contrast,we observed a relatively thin crust(42-50 km)with an intermediate Vp/Vs ratio(-1.78)in the western Tian Shan.The differences in the crustal structures between the western and central Tian Shan imply that the Talas-Fergana Fault may be trans-lithospheric.
文摘Thermoelectric generators(TEGs)are considered promising devices for waste heat recovery from various systems.The Seebeck effect can be utilized to generate power using the residual heat emitted by the filter dryer receiver(FDR)of an air conditioning(A/C)system,which would otherwise go to waste.The study aims to build a set of thermoelectric generators(TEG)to collect the waste heat of the FDR and generate low-power electricity.A novel electrical circuit with two transformers is designed and fabricated to produce a more stable voltage for operation and charging.The thermoelectric generator(TEGs)was installed on the FDR of the A/C unit.The test showed that climate conditions have a significant impact on the output power generated from the system.The results showed that the peak voltage recorded in the current study is 5.2 V per day(wet,cold,and wind weather)with an output power of 0.2 W.These values are acceptable for powering the load and charging a single battery with 3.5 V as the voltage increases battery 0.1 V/20 min charge.A case study of operating the emergency signs in a building was considered.The current heat recovery system is deemed to be easily installed and can be connected to a network of TEGs to produce more power.

文摘The study of inter-system bias(ISB)is important for multi-system fusion and the performance of different signal compatibility.In this paper,the stability of ISB at the BDS3/BDS2 receiver end is calculated and analyzed for different time spans(DOY 060~090 in 2021)from a total of 31 MGEX and iGMAS stations.We adopted two estimation strategies,random walk and constant approach,using the precision products of orbit and clock bias provided by WUM,the influence of which on ISB was also analyzed.Our results showed that the ISB value varied little within a day,and the mean of daily ISB standard deviation was only 0.037 m when the observation condition was good.The signal reception was continuous,indicating a high ISB stability for one day.If extending the time series to one month,however,the ISB standard deviation calculated by constant approach,in which a constant ISB is estimated on a daily basis was about 0.1 m,and the results of adjacent days were not continuous,with no apparent pattern.Concerning the random walk approach,the obtained ISB time series also had a jump,and the conclusion was the same as that of the constant strategy.Besides,receiver types showed a strong regularity in ISB numerical situation,and the distribution of ISB values corresponding to the same receiver type was relatively close.Therefore,we conclude that the ISB parameters remain stable in the short term(one day)and less stable in the long-term period.It is recommended that the ISB term should be set as a constant estimate every day in BDS3/BDS2 solutions,regardless of receiver type consistency.

文摘As different power has its own receivers,this paper analyzes and designs a multiple-receiver wireless power transfer(WPT)system systematically.The equivalent circuit model of the system is established to analyze the key parameters including transmitter power,receiver power,transmission efficiency,and each receiver power allocation.A control circuit is proposed to achieve the maximum transmission efficiency and transmitter power control and arbitrary receiver power allocation ratios for different receivers.Through the proposed control circuit,receivers with different loads can allocate appropriate power according to its power demand,the transmitter power and system efficiency do not vary with the change of the number of receivers.Finally,this control circuit is validated using a 130-kHz WPT system with three receivers whose power received is 3:10:12,and the overall system efficiency can reach as high as 55.5%.

文摘BACKGROUND: The various combination of multiphase enhancement multislice spiral CT(MSCT) makes the diagnosis of a small hepatocellular carcinoma(s HCC) on the background of liver cirrhosis possible. This study was to explore whether the combination of MSCT enhancement scan and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) level could increase the diagnostic efficiency for s HCC.METHODS: This study included 35 s HCC patients and 52 cirrhotic patients without image evidence of HCC as a control group. The diagnoses were made by three radiologists employing a 5-point rating scale, with postoperative pathologic results as the gold standard. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the three MSCT combination modes(arterial phase+portal-venous phase, arterial phase+delayed phase,arterial phase+portal-venous phase+delayed phase) and AFP levels for s HCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. RESULTS: The area under ROC curve(AUC), sensitivity,and specificity of the combination of arterial phase+portalvenous phase+delayed phase were 0.93, 93%, and 82%, respectively. The average AUC of the arterial phase+portalvenous phase+delayed phase combination was significantly greater than that of the arterial phase+portal-venous phase(AUC=0.84, P=0.01) and arterial phase+delayed phase(AUC=0.85, P=0.03). Arterial phase+portal-venous phase had a smaller AUC(0.84) than arterial phase+delayed phase(0.85), but the difference was insignificant(P=0.15). After combining MSCT enhancement scan with AFP, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.95, 94%, and 83%, respectively, indicating a greatly increased diagnostic efficiency for s HCC.CONCLUSIONS: The combination of AFP and 3 phases MSCT enhancement scan could increase the diagnostic efficiency for s HCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. The application of ROC curve analysis has provided a new method and reference in HCC diagnosis.
文摘In this paper, novel mathematical expressions are derived for the Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver interference tolerance in the presence of different types of interference signals such as: continuous wave interference, narrowband interference, partial band interference, broadband interference, match spectrum interference and pulse interference. Also, in this paper the mean time to loss lock is determined in order to analyse the mentioned interferences effect on the GPS receiver. These derived analytical expressions are validated with the aid of extensive simulation experiments.
文摘We analyzed a total of 37 427 receiver-function data recorded by national and regional broadband seismic networks of the China Earthquake Administration to study the mantle transition zone beneath eastern and central China.Significant topography on both the 410-km and 660-km discontinuities was clearly imaged in the 3D volume of CCP (common-conversion-point) stacked images that cover an area of 102.5 E-122.5 E and 22.0 N-42.0 N.3D crustal and mantle velocity models were used in computing the Ps time moveouts to better image the absolute depths of the two discontinuities.We found that the 660-km discontinuity is depressed up to 25 km along the east coast of China,indicating the presence of the subducted Pacific slab in the region.More interestingly,a double 660-km was observed beneath the Huanghai Sea,which was not seen from the 410-km discontinuity.We found a strong and localized anomaly beneath the Quaternary Datong volcano located at the northeastern edge of the Ordos Plateau in North China.The 410-km is depressed by as much as 15 km beneath the volcano.If the amount of the depression is caused by unmodeled low velocity anomaly in the upper mantle,it requires either a strong (4%-8%) localized low velocity anomaly near the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary or ～1.5% low velocity column across the entire upper mantle above the 410-km.The latter could suggest a deep origin of the Datong volcano,although it was usually attributed to edge-driven convection by most of the literatures.

文摘A carrier tracking loop which can adjust the loop parameters adaptively is proposed for high dynamic application.Three modules,called theα-β-γfilter model,adaptive loop structure model and adaptive loop bandwidth model respectively,are added in the presented tracking loop compared with the traditional carrier tracking loop based on the second-order frequency lock loop(FLL)assisting third-order phase lock loop(PLL)loop filter.And the optimization methods for the tracking bandwidth and the carrier loop order are analyzed.The real-time estimation methods of the dynamic parameters,the velocity,acceleration and jerk along the line of sight(LOS)between the satellite and the receiver's antenna,and the measurement parameters are discussed based on the presentedα-β-γfilter algorithm.A method is introduced to improve the filter's dynamic response to meet high dynamic application by self-adjustedα-βγfilter coefficient used in the tracking loop.The performance of three cases with different carrier tracking loop is compared by simulation.
文摘Western Yunnan is located at the boundary of collision or underthrusting zone of Eurasian plate and is influencedby many times tectonic movements. With very complex geological environment and tectonic background, it is oneof the seismically active areas. In the paper, the teleseismic records were selected from 16 national, local and mo-bile stations, including 4 very-wide-band mobile stations of PASSCAL. And nearly 2 000 receiver functions wereextracted. Two measuring lines are 650 km and 450 km, respectively and across some major tectonic units inWestern Yunnan. It is indicated that Nujiang might be a seam characterized by underthrusting. The western andeastern boundaries of Sichuan-Yunnan rhombus block, i.e., Honghe and Xiaojiang faults, might be an erectionseam or collision belt. Panxi tectonic zone still has the characteristics of continental rift valley, that is, the surfaceis hollow and the upper mantle is upwarping. The tectonic situation in Western Yunnan is of certain regulation withthe interlacing distribution of orogenic zone and seam. The crustal thickness decreases gradually from the north tothe south and the S wave velocity is globally lower here.

文摘As a dispersive wave mode produced by lightning strokes, tweek atmospherics provide important hints of lower ionospheric(i.e., D-region) electron density. Based on data accumulation from the WHU ELF/VLF receiver system, we develop an automatic detection module in terms of the maximum-entropy-spectral-estimation(MESE) method to identify unambiguous instances of low latitude tweeks.We justify the feasibility of our procedure through a detailed analysis of the data observed at the Suizhou Station(31.57°N, 113.32°E) on17 February 2016. A total of 3961 tweeks were registered by visual inspection;the automatic detection method captured 4342 tweeks, of which 3361 were correct ones, producing a correctness percentage of 77.4%(= 3361/4342) and a false alarm rate of 22.6%(= 981/4342).A Short-Time Fourier Transformation(STFT) was also applied to trace the power spectral profiles of identified tweeks and to evaluate the tweek propagation distance. It is found that the fitting accuracy of the frequency–time curve and the relative difference of propagation distance between the two methods through the slope and through the intercept can be used to further improve the accuracy of automatic tweek identification. We suggest that our automatic tweek detection and analysis method therefore supplies a valuable means to investigate features of low latitude tweek atmospherics and associated ionospheric parameters comprehensively.

文摘For solar power tower technology, the improvement of interception efficiency of heliostat field and the extension of central receiver's life time are two technical difficulties. To the receiver, higher interception efficiency means more thermal shocks and stronger stresses of high temperatures mainly contribute to the reduction of receiver's life time. To address these problems,a semi-random distribution strategy is proposed to select the best aiming point of the heliostat, and the distribution of onedimensional array arranged on the centerline of the receiver is carried out for further optimization. It is shown by simulation that through our optimization the temperature distribution on the receiver surface becomes much more uniform while maintaining acceptable interception efficiency.
文摘Nowadays many positioning techniques and methods are applied to the cadastral surveys. Starting from last decade, GPS/GNSS positioning had become one of the most used methodology thanks to the rapid development of satellite-based positioning and to the appearance of GNSS mass-market receivers and antennas. Methods based on these instruments are more affordable than the conventional ones even if their use for precise positioning is not so intuitive. This study is aimed to evaluate the use of singlefrequency GPS/GNSS mass-market receivers for cadastral surveys, considering both single-base RealTime Kinematic(RTK) and Network Real-Time Kinematic(NRTK) methodologies. Furthermore, a particular tool for predicting and estimating the occurrence of false fix of the phase ambiguities has been considered, in order to improve the accuracy and precision of the solutions. Considering the single-base positioning, the research results showed the difference of a few centimetres between the reference coordinates and the estimated ones if the distance between master and rover is less than 3 km, while considering the network positioning and the Virtual Reference Station correction, the difference are about a couple of centimetres for East and North component, and about 5 cm for the Up.

文摘The teleseismic receiver functions of digital seismic network of Ningxia and its adjacent area are calculated with two different Gauss filter factors.The accuracy and stability of the receiver functions are discussed.The h-k stacking method is applied to estimate the crustal thickness and velocity ratio beneath seismic stations.The results indicate that there are sharp changes of crustal thickness and velocity ratio in the studied region.This region is located in the northeastern margin of Tibet,and also a junction of several first-grade blocks.The large contrast of crustal structure in this region is considered to be resulted from the interaction of these blocks.Our results are helpful to construct the completed model of the formation and evolution of the Tibet.Some local structures are also discussed combining with the geological faults.

文摘The Binchuan region is located in a seismically active area in northwestern Yunnan,China.The detailed crustal structure is important to understand the tectonic evolution and to assess the seismic hazard in the study area.With a 2-D dense array deployed in this region,we use teleseismic receiver function traditional imaging methods,including the H-κand common-conversion-point stacking methods,to derive high-resolution crustal thickness and vP/vS ratio maps.Our results indicate that the crustal thickness increases from~40 km to~46 km in the south-north direction,and the average crustal thickness beneath the Binchuan basin is~42 km.Our results agree with previous results but have higher resolution due to dense interstation spacing.
