FPGA-Based Implementation of All-Digital QPSK Carrier Recovery Loop Combining Costas Loop and Maximum Likelihood Frequency Estimator by Kaiyu Wang, Zhiming Song, Xianwei Qi, Qingxin Yan, Zhenan Tang

“…This paper presents an efficient all digital carrier recovery loop (ADCRL) for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK). The ADCRL combines classic closed-loop carrier recovery circuit, all digital Costas loop (ADCOL), with frequency feedward loop, maximum likelihood frequency estimator (MLFE) so as to make the best use of the advantages of the two types of carrier recovery loops and obtain a more robust performance in the procedure of carrier recovery. …”

Phenotypic plasticity plays an essential role in the confrontation between plants and herbivorous insects by Xianzhong Wang, Jieyu Kang, Huizhong Wang, Shigui Wang, Bin Tang, Jiangjie Lu

“…Abstract The interaction between insects and plants is a classic case of coevolution. During the arms race that has continued for 400 million years, the mutualistic (such as pollination and defense assistance) and antagonistic relationships gradually formed and complicated under the selection pressure from phytophagous insects. …”

Generalized Synchronization of Nonlinear Chaotic Systems through Natural Bioinspired Controlling Strategy by Shih-Yu Li, Shi-An Chen, Chin-Teng Lin, Li-Wei Ko, Cheng-Hsiung Yang, Heng-Hui Chen

“…Three main contributions are concluded: (1) apply the bioinspired stability theory to further analyze the stability of fuzzy error systems; the high performance of controllers has been shown in previous study by Li and Ge 2009, (2) a new Lyapunov control function based on bioinspired stability theory is designed to achieve synchronization without using traditional LMI method, which is a simple linear homogeneous function of states and the process of designing controller to synchronize two fuzzy chaotic systems becomes much simpler, and (3) three different situations of synchronization are proposed; classical master and slave Lorenz systems, slave Chen’s system, and Rossler’s system as functional system are illustrated to further show the effectiveness and feasibility of our novel strategy. …”
