On Max-SINR Receiver for Hexagonal Multicarrier Transmission Over Doubly Dispersive Channel
In this paper, a novel receiver for Hexagonal Multicarrier Transmission (HMT)
system based on the maximizing Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio
(Max-SINR) criterion is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the prototype
pulse of the proposed Max-SINR receiver should adapt to the root mean square
(RMS) delay spread of the doubly dispersive (DD) channel with exponential power
delay profile and U-shape Doppler spectrum. Simulation results show that the
proposed Max-SINR receiver outperforms traditional projection scheme and
obtains an approximation to the theoretical upper bound SINR performance within
the full range of channel spread factor. Meanwhile, the SINR performance of the
proposed prototype pulse is robust to the estimation error between the
estimated value and the real value of time delay spread.Comment: 6 pages. The paper has been published in Proc. IEEE GLOBECOM 2012.

Self-current induced spin-orbit torque in FeMn/Pt multilayers
Extensive efforts have been devoted to the study of spin-orbit torque in
ferromagnetic metal/heavy metal bilayers and exploitation of it for
magnetization switching using an in-plane current. As the spin-orbit torque is
inversely proportional to the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, sizable
effect has only been realized in bilayers with an ultrathin ferromagnetic
layer. Here we demonstrate that, by stacking ultrathin Pt and FeMn alternately,
both ferromagnetic properties and current induced spin-orbit torque can be
achieved in FeMn/Pt multilayers without any constraint on its total thickness.
The critical behavior of these multilayers follows closely three-dimensional
Heisenberg model with a finite Curie temperature distribution. The spin torque
effective field is about 4 times larger than that of NiFe/Pt bilayer with a
same equivalent NiFe thickness. The self-current generated spin torque is able
to switch the magnetization reversibly without the need for an external field
or a thick heavy metal layer. The removal of both thickness constraint and
necessity of using an adjacent heavy metal layer opens new possibilities for
exploiting spin-orbit torque for practical applications.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figure
