Measurement and Calibration of A High-Sensitivity Microwave Power Sensor with An Attenuator
In this paper, measurement and calibration of a high-sensitivity microwave power sensor through an attenuator is performed using direct comparison transfer technique. To provide reliable results, a mathematical model previously derived using signal flow graphs together with non-touching loop rule analysis for the measurement estimate (i.e. calibration factor) and its uncertainty evaluation is comparatively investigated. The investigation is carried out through the analysis of physical measurement processes, and consistent mathematical model is observed. Later, an example of Type-N (up to 18 GHz) application is used to demonstrate its calibration and measurement capability

An Efficient Method for GPS Multipath Mitigation Using the Teager-Kaiser-Operator-based MEDLL
An efficient method for GPS multipath mitigation is proposed. The motivation for this proposed method is to integrate the Teager-Kaiser Operator (TKO) with the Multipath Estimating Delay Lock Loop (MEDLL) module to mitigate the GPS multipath efficiently. The general implementation process of the proposed method is that we first utilize the TKO to operate on the received signal’s Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) to get an initial estimate of the multipaths. Then we transfer the initial estimated results to the MEDLL module for a further estimation. Finally, with a few iterations which are less than those of the original MEDLL algorithm, we can get a more accurate estimate of the Line-Of-Sight (LOS) signal, and thus the goal of the GPS multipath mitigation is achieved. The simulation results show that compared to the original MEDLL algorithm, the proposed method can reduce the computation load and the hardware and/or software consumption of the MEDLL module, meanwhile, without decreasing the algorithm accuracy
Asymptotics of neutron Cooper pair in weakly bound nuclei
Asymptotic form of neutron Cooper pair penetrating to the exterior of nuclear
surface is investigated with the Bogoliubov theory for the superfluid Fermions.
Based on a two-particle Schr\"{o}dinger equation governing the Cooper pair wave
function and systematic studies for both weakly bound and stable nuclei, the
Cooper pair is shown to be spatially correlated even in the asymptotic large
distance limit, and the penetration length of the pair condensate is revealed
to be universally governed by the two-neutron separation energy and
the di-neutron mass
Pair correlation of giant halo nuclei in continuum Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory
The giant halos predicted in neutron-rich Zr isotopes with are
investigated by using the self-consistent continuum Skyrme
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach, in which the asymptotic behavior of continuum
quasiparticle states is properly treated by the Green's function method. We
study in detail the neutron pair correlation involved in the giant halo by
analyzing the asymptotic exponential tail of the neutron pair condensate (pair
density) in addition to that of the neutron particle density. The neutron
quasiparticle spectra associated with these giant halo nuclei are examined. It
is found that the asymptotic exponential tail of the neutron pair condensate is
dominated by non-resonant continuum quasiparticle states corresponding to the
scattering states with low asymptotic kinetic energy. This is in contrast to
the asymptotic tail of the neutron density, whose main contributions arise from
the resonant quasiparticle states corresponding to the weakly-bound
single-particle orbits and resonance orbits in the Hartree-Fock potential
Superconductivity in pure and electron doped MgB2: Transport properties and pressure effects
The normal state and superconducting properties of MgB2 and Mg1-xAlxB2 are
discussed based on structural, transport, and high pressure experiments. The
positive Seebeck coefficient and its linear temperature dependence for Tc<T<160
K provide evidence that the low-temperature transport in MgB2 is due to
hole-like metallic carriers. Structural and transport data show the important
role of defects as indicated by the correlation of Tc, the residual resistance
ratio, and the microstrain extracted from x-ray spectra. The decrease of Tc
with hydrostatic pressure is well explained by the strong-coupling BCS theory.
The large scatter of the pressure coefficients of Tc for different MgB2
samples, however, cannot be explained within this theory. We speculate that
pressure may increase the defect density, particularly in samples with large
initial defect concentration.Comment: Presented at NATO Advanced Research Workshop "New Trends in
