Investigation on the Effects of Additive on Performance and Photostability of PCDTBT:PC71BM Solar Cells by Endale Tsegaye Mohammed, Bedasa Abdisa Gonfa, Fedlu Kedir, Teketel Yohannes Anshebo

“…For the device without DIM especially as the light exposure time was increased, the device stability was better because the PCDTBT could be shielded from air by an aggregated PC71BM layer. For the PCDTBT:PC71BM device processed with DIM, the results obtained from J‐V measurement indicates that it has a lower recombination rate. …”

Analysis and research on propagation field strength characteristics of non-line-of-sight signal by Fengxun GONG, Ying ZHANG

“…In order to explore the diffraction loss caused by non-line-of-sight (NLOS ) propagation caused by obstacles in the airport communication path, the attenuation characteristics of signal field were studied.Firstly, based on the influence of different terrain environments on signal propagation in ITU-R P.1546, a combined signal field strength model was constructed with Deygout model.Secondly, according to the number of obstacles, the propagation characteristics of the received field strength varying with the height of obstacles were analyzed.The simulation results show that the higher the single obstacle is, the larger the Fresnel zone occupying 0.6F₁ is and the smaller the field strength is.In the dual obstacle path, the obstacle with increased height goes through the process of changing from secondary to main obstacle until only the main obstacle is left, so that the field strength gradually decreases.Thirdly, the relationship between secondary obstacle height and 0.6F₁ Fresnel zone was analyzed for field strength rise.Finally, the minimum threshold of the covered field strength was adjusted to determine whether the receiving device was blocked by obstacles and the signal was shielded.The above research results can provide a reference for simulating the distribution of obstacles in various airport scenarios in the future, and predicting whether the receiver is interfered by obstacles or affects the field intensity coverage.…”
