Plurality-count Diversity Combining for Fading M-ary Transmissions
Author: John N. Pierce
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Alphabets
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
The performance of a plurality-count diversity combiner for fading M-ary transmissions is analyzed, and calculated error probabilities are presented graphically for alphabet sizes of 2, 8, and 32. The performance is shown to be within 3 dB of that of an optimum square-law combiner for moderate alphabet sizes when there is no restriction on the allowable number of diversity branches. It is shown that a worthwhile saving in transmitted power can be effected by using nonbinary alphabets with plurality-count combining for the transmission of binary data. The availability of extra information from the combiner for use with error-correction is discussed.

Matrix Criteria for Arbitrary Reliability in Iterated Neural Nets
Author: Rocco H. Urbano
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Iterative methods (Mathematics)
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
In a previous paper by this author, the problem of achieving arbitrary reliability for combinatorial nets from arbitrarily unreliable elements was reduced to the study of convergence properties of an associated polynomial system. In this paper simple criteria which specify the convergence of such a system to a nodal fixed point are obtained from known results in matrix theory. (Convergence to a nodal point implies that the corresponding net approaches reliability arbitrarily near 1 for a particular function.) Theorems are also given which show that it is possible to obtain from a single system converging to a nodal fixed point, many systems having this property.

Electrophoretic Power Generation in Thermally Ionized Plasmas
Author: C. C. Leiby (Jr.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electrophoresis
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Druyvesteyn's solutions for electrophoretically induced gas flows in electrical discharges in gases were extended over a larger pressure range and corrected for the influence of Debye shielding effects. The effects of molecular or 'slip' flow were also taken into account. These more accurate and general solutions were applied to the reverse phenomenon of space charge field generation arising from the flow of a thermally ionized cesium plasma through a tube. Under such flow conditions, a non-linear differential equation for the axial pressure distribution was obtained but not solved. However, it was possible to obtain estimates of the ranges of cesium pressure, temperature and tube radii which would be required for sensible levels of electric power generation. Anaphoretic flow power levels of the order of 0.1 to 10 watts, in tubes of laboratory dimensions (radii of 10 cm or less), appear feasible at temperatures from 1700 to 2400K. Sensible power generation levels at lower temperatures require very large diameter tubes, and therefore are not feasible. (Author).

A Study of Band Edge Distortion in Heavily Doped Germanium
Author: Freeman D. Shepherd (Jr.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Energy-band theory of solids
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Details of the energy band structure of degenerate n-type germanium were determined by analysis of fine structure in the 4.2K volt-ampere characteristic of germanium tunnel diodes. No shift in the relative energy of the conduction band minima was observed. The band edge is found to be exponentially distributed with 1/e energies of the order of 10 MeV. There appears to be an ordering mechanism among the group V impurity atoms used as substrate dopants. (Author).

Adsorption of Inorganic Anions on a Mercury Electrode from Solutions of Formamide
Author: Richard Payne
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Anions
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
A theory of hydromagnetic ionizing waves has been developed which is valid in the region in which gas pressure is negligible, compared with magnetic pressure. The theory takes into account the energy expended in partial ionization of the gas behind the wave. The usual high conductivity boundary condition behind the wave is not employed. The electric field in front of the wave is taken as a parameter. Results of this theory are compared with available experimental measurements, and show good agreement. (Author).
