Volterra series based predistortion for broadband RF power amplifiers with memory effects

RF power amplifiers(PAs)are usually considered as memoryless devices in most existing predistortion techniques.However,in broadband communication systems,such as WCDMA,the PA memory effects are significant,and memoryless predistortion cannot linearize the PAs effectively.After analyzing the PA memory effects,a novel predistortion method based on the simplified Volterra series is proposed to linearize broadband RF PAs with memory effects.The indirect learning architecture is adopted to design the predistortion scheme and the recursive least squares algorithm with forgetting factor is applied to identify the parameters of the predistorter.Simulation results show that the proposed predistortion method can compensate the nonlinear distortion and memory effects of broadband RF PAs effectively.     

Virtual reality mobility model for wireless ad hoc networks

For wireless ad hoc networks simulation, node＇s mobility pattern and traffic pattern are two key elements. A new simulation model is presented based on the virtual reality collision detection algorithm in obstacle environment, and the model uses the path planning method to avoid obstacles and to compute the node＇s moving path. Obstacles also affect node＇s signal propagation. Considering these factors, this study implements the mobility model for wireless ad hoc networks. Simulation results show that the model has a significant impact on the performance of protocols.     

Efficient combination rule of Dezert-Smarandache theory

The Dezert-Smarandache theory （DSmT） is a useful method for dealing with uncertainty problems. It is more efficient in combining conflicting evidence. Therefore, it has been successfully applied in data fusion and object recognition. However, there exist shortcomings in its combination rule. An efficient combination rule is presented, that is, the evidence＇s conflicting probability is distributed to every proposition based on remaining the focal elements of conflict. Experiments show that the new combination rule improves the reliability and rationality of the combination results. Although evidences conflict another one highly, good combination results are also obtained.

黑龙江农田养分平衡和养分水平的动态变化

研究了黑龙江省１９４９￣１９９９年农田养分平衡盈亏的动态变化。指出氮素平衡一直是亏缺的,但进入９０年代,减亏速率很快,到目前氮素收支接近平衡,磷素平衡进入９０年代开始盈余,目前磷素平衡盈余已达４０％;而钾素平衡一直呈双比例亏缺。文章选择了两个典型村农田实际测定在１０年和１８年中土壤养分水平的变化,结果证实了农田养分平衡状况决定了农田养分的变化方向。文章还讨论了农田养分平衡盈余的调控对策。

Design of complex FIR filters with arbitrary magnitude and group delay responses

To design approximately linear-phase complex coefficient finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters with arbitrary magnitude and group delay responses, a novel neural network approach is studied. The approach is based on a batch back-propagation neural network algorithm by directly minimizing the real magnitude error and phase error from the linear-phase to obtain the filter’s coefficients. The approach can deal with both the real and complex coefficient FIR digital filters design problems. The main advantage of the proposed design method is the significant reduction in the group delay error. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with two optimal design examples.     

基于双向投影法的概率语言多属性群决策

针对概率语言信息下的多属性群决策问题,首先基于概率语言术语集(probabilistic linguistic term sets, PLTS)的调整规则和语言尺度函数,定义了PLTS的新运算,并证明其满足代数运算的基本性质。然后,为解决现有向量模公式在下标对称语言下计算结果与实际不符的问题,提出一种改进的概率语言信息下的向量模公式。在此基础上定义方案与正、负理想解形成的向量表示式,并建立针对概率语言信息的双向投影法,由此提出新的贴近度公式。最后,通过应用算例的对比分析验证了本文所提方法的有效性和可行性。该方法充分考虑了PLTS的数据特征,在简化计算的同时避免了信息损失,为解决概率语言信息中数值差异较小的问题提供了新的方法和思路。     

Collaborative Project Management: A Systemic Approach to Heavy Equipment Manufacturing Project Management

Quite often over the last decade, heavy equipment manufacturers are trying to improve their project management performance with the use of effective project management methods. However, the challenges encountered aren’t isolated problems and a systemic approach is required. This paper exemplifies how a systemic approach can be applied to heavy equipment manufacturing project (HEMP) management, through of a multifaceted vision. The findings present in the paper are based on a two-year case study in a metallurgic equipment manufacturing enterprise in China. Based on the analysis of HEMP management problems and the contributions on systemic approach application in project management, the paper enriches existing theory by: (1) interpreting the HEMP management system with the top-down disassembly method; (2) developing the collaborative project management approach with a systems view highlighting the project characteristics management and inter-departmental collaboration; (3) making suggestions for systemic approach application in project management. For practitioners and researchers, the findings are particularly meaningful for manufacturing project management and systemic approach application.
