Interference-Free Broadband Single- and Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA
The choice of the direct sequence spreading code in DS-CDMA predetermines the properties of the system. This contribution demonstrates that the family of codes exhibiting an interference-free window (IFW) outperforms classic spreading codes, provided that the interfering multi-user and multipath components arrive within this IFW, which may be ensured with the aid of quasi-synchronous adaptive timing advance control. It is demonstrated that the IFW duration may be extended with the advent of multicarrier DS-CDMA proportionately to the number of subcarriers. Hence, the resultant MC DS-CDMA system is capable of exhibiting nearsingle-user performance without employing a multi-user detector. A limitation of the system is that the number of spreading codes exhibiting a certain IFW is limited, although this problem may be mitigated with the aid of novel code design principles

Recurrent Neural Network Based Narrowband Channel Prediction
In this contribution, the application of fully connected recurrent neural networks (FCRNNs) is investigated in the context of narrowband channel prediction. Three different algorithms, namely the real time recurrent learning (RTRL), the global extended Kalman filter (GEKF) and the decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF) are used for training the recurrent neural network (RNN) based channel predictor. Our simulation results show that the GEKF and DEKF training schemes have the potential of converging faster than the RTRL training scheme as well as attaining a better MSE performance
Wideband Channel Estimation and Prediction in Single-Carrier Wireless Systems
Abstract—In this contribution wideband channel estimation and prediction designed for single-carrier wideband wireless communications systems are investigated. Specifically, the single-carrier wideband pilot signal received by the receiver is first converted to the frequency-domain. Then, the envelope of the channel transfer function (CTF) is estimated in the frequency-domain, in order to reduce the effects of background noise on the channel prediction step to be invoked. Finally, channel prediction is carried out based on the estimated CTF in the frequency-domain, where a Kalman filter assisted long-range channel prediction algorithm is employed. Our simulation results show that for a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value the proposed frequency-domain based wideband channel estimator is capable of efficiently mitigating the effects of the background noise, hence enhancing the performance of wideband channel prediction

Electron yields from spacecraft materials
Photoyields and secondary electron emission (SEE) characteristics were determined under UHV conditions for a group of insulating materials used in spacecraft applications. The SEE studies were carried out with a pulsed primary beam while photoyields were obtained with a chopped photon beam from a Kr resonance source with major emission at 123.6 nm. This provides a photon flux close to that of the Lyman alpha in the space environment. Yields per incident photon are obtained relative to those from a freshly evaporated and air oxidized Al surface. Results are presented for Kapton, FEP Teflon, the borosilicate glass covering of a shuttle tile, and spacesuit outer fabric
Angular momentum transport and element mixing in the stellar interior I. Application to the rotating Sun
The purpose of this work was to obtain diffusion coefficient for the magnetic
angular momentum transport and material transport in a rotating solar model. We
assumed that the transport of both angular momentum and chemical elements
caused by magnetic fields could be treated as a diffusion process. The
diffusion coefficient depends on the stellar radius, angular velocity, and the
configuration of magnetic fields. By using of this coefficient, it is found
that our model becomes more consistent with the helioseismic results of total
angular momentum, angular momentum density, and the rotation rate in a
radiative region than the one without magnetic fields. Not only can the
magnetic fields redistribute angular momentum efficiently, but they can also
strengthen the coupling between the radiative and convective zones. As a
result, the sharp gradient of the rotation rate is reduced at the bottom of the
convective zone. The thickness of the layer of sharp radial change in the
rotation rate is about 0.036 in our model. Furthermore, the
difference of the sound-speed square between the seismic Sun and the model is
improved by mixing the material that is associated with angular momentum
transport.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
