Experimental research on a direct-detection optical OFDM system based on cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasis technique by Wei WU, Jiang-nan XIAO, Ming CHEN, Jian-jun YU, Lin CHEN

“…Frequency selective fading (FF)caused by digital to analog converter and optical fibe dispersion in optical fiber link was analysed,and signal-signal mixing interference (SSMI) when the orthogonal frequency division multiplex-ing (OFDM) signal was detected by PIN after transmitting over the fiber in direct-detection optical OFDM system.The cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal were proposed to decrease the influence of the SSMI and FF.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the receiving sen-sitivity of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of OFDM signal is higher than the interleaved configuration of training ed that the fiber transmission performance of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal is better than the interleaved configuration of training sequence of OFDM signal in ro-bust tolerance against SSMI and FF.…”

Macroeconomic Stability in Resource-rich Countries: The Role of Fiscal Policy by Elva Bova, Paulo Medas, Tigran Poghosyan

“…Given the severity of the shocks, it would be expected that these countries adopt countercyclical fiscal policies to help shield the domestic economy, either through larger spending at times of commodity busts or lower spending during commodity booms. Taking advantage of a new dataset covering 48 non-renewable commodity exporters for the period 1970–2014, we investigate whether fiscal policy does indeed play a stabilizing role. …”

A novel chaotic interleaving algorithm for mobile wireless channels by Xianping WANG, Hui CAO

“…Interleaving technique is an efficient technique to resist serious burst errors over mobile wireless fading channels.To resist 2 dimensionality burst errors effectively,a novel chaotic interleaving algorithm based on Baker map was proposed.In the proposed scheme,the binary source sequence was converted to the data matrix,and then the data matrix was dispersed randomly by using the chaotic Baker map approach,in order to realize the function of transforming 2 dimensionality long bust error into the short 1 dimensionality short bust error after de-interleaving.In additional,the proposed algorithm was combined with the convolution code based on Viterbi decoding,and was applied into the scenario of convolutional codes (2,1,3) and the scenario of (2,1,7) separately for a performance comparison.The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms better than the traditional algorithms under image transmission over mobile wireless channel.Moreover,the anti-fading capability of the proposed algorithm grows as the packet length increases,while reducing the complexity significantly.Finally,the chaotic interleaver can also enhance every transmitted packet's security with different secret keys.…”

Research of the Order Analysis Method for Vibration Signal of Automotive Rear Axle Main Reducer by Wang Jianbao, Yang Ping, Guan Lichao, Zheng Xin

“…As the core component of automotive rear axle,the automotive main reducer undertake the function of slowdown and increase driving moment,its quality directly affects the safety and comfort of automotive.Taking the order analysis method as the core,the vibration signal analysis method of the automotive rear axle main reducer is designed based on the virtual instrument technology,the signal is collected by the data acquisition card and transmitted to the computer through the USB bus.The time point of vibration signal resampling is obtained through the processing of rotational speed signal,the order spectrum of the vibration signal is obtained by the frequency spectrum analysis of the vibration signal resampling,and the order spectrum is compared with the original vibration signal frequency spectrum,the clear frequency component is obtained,the problem of frequency alias produced by the speed fluctuation is solved.…”
