高端口隔离度的太赫兹基波上混频器设计

介绍了一种基于IHP 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS工艺,具有高本振（Local Oscillator, LO）/射频（Radio Frequency, RF）及本振/中频（Intermediate Frequency, IF）端口隔离度的太赫兹基波上混频器.该混频器采用了吉尔伯特双平衡结构,本振信号通过共面波导（Coplanar Waveguide, CPW）传输来抑制其在传输过程中由于强寄生耦合效应造成的传输不对称性,削弱了由该不对称性造成的LO/RF端口隔离度恶化的特性.通过采用非对称性的开关互联结构降低本振信号在开关晶体管集电极端寄生耦合的不平衡性,提升本振信号在开关晶体管集电极端的对消效率,通过在版图中合理布局跨导级晶体管的位置来抑制本振信号在中频端口的泄露.后仿真结果表明：在2.2 V电源电压下,本振信号为230 GHz,中频信号为2 ~ 12 GHz,该上混频器工作在218 ~ 228 GHz时,LO/RF端口隔离度大于24 dB, LO/IF端口隔离度大于20 dB,转换增益为-4 ~ -3.5 dB.当中频信号为10 GHz时,输出1 dB压缩点为-14.8dBm.电路直流功耗为42.4 mW,芯片的核心面积为0.079 mm2.该上混频器可应用于采用高阶正交幅度调制（Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, QAM）方式的无线发射系统.     

当我们来到模拟世界

想象一下,当你的曾祖父母还是少男少女之时,他们获得了一件开创性的新设备——全世界首个完全沉浸式的虚拟现实娱乐系统,不是你现在随处可见的那种蠢兮兮的VR眼镜.这种设备更像电影《黑客帝国》中出现的玩意——是一种时髦的魔力头带,塞满电极,以某种方式直接连上人类大脑的感知系统,用机器生成的新知觉取代了佩戴者的视觉、听觉、触觉、...     

人类进化故事如何继续开枝散叶

我们人类不再是过去的模样.在过去20年里,基因组学、古DNA学和古人类学齐心协力,彻底修订了我们对于人类起源的理解.在最近几十万年里,人类进化的多样性和复杂性甚至超越了我们最无稽的想象.然而,我们对人类起源的了解越来越清楚,对于人类进化的叙述却越来越混乱,越来越不简练.事实证明,人类这个物种的身份纷繁复杂.     

科学和灵性 ——寻找火星上的生命

在西方长期的科学和宗教斗争中,某些角色并非一成不变.起初,宗教领袖坚信神创万物,他们谴责(经常是处死)那些质疑圣经中关于地球起源以及天堂美好故事之人.而科学家则不断对此提出挑战.如今,科学家反而成了确定论者,以理查德?道金斯(Richard Dawkins)为代表的新无神论者认为,宗教人士既软弱又愚蠢,因为他们无法接受...

"艾弗森先生,你需要来一趟你儿子的学校." "我正在准备一宗案子.这事就不能等到周五吗?"艾弗森先生面前的屏幕中的女人撅起嘴唇.她是沃瑟姆老师,也是负责艾文的首席教师,"这事十分紧要,我们需要商议一下." "好吧,咱们现在就谈." 沃瑟姆老师的额头上顿时形成几条代表受挫的皱纹,转眼又消失不见.她将头发拂到一侧耳朵后面.     

An aqueous extract of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan alters the labeling of blood constituents with Technetium-99m

The Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is a formula of a traditional Chinese medicine that is used to treat asthma patients and has been shown to have several important properties,such as antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities.The influence of an extract of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan on the labeling of blood constituents with technetium-99m was investigated.Anticoagulated blood(Wistar rats) was incubated with the extract,stannous chloride and technetium-99m,as sodium pertechnetate.Samples were centrifuged and aliquots of plasma and blood cells were separated and precipitated with trichloroacetic acid,to obtain soluble and insoluble fractions of the blood constituents.The percentage of radioactivity(%ATI) in all the fractions was determined.The analysis of the results shows that the extract at the highest concentration used(70 mg/mL) decreased significantly(P<0.05) the %ATI(from 96.48 ± 1.19 to 54.46 ± 7.38) on blood cells compartment,(from 81.11 ± 4.15 to 61.33 ± 4.74) on insoluble fractions of blood cells and(from 65.91 ± 2.44 to 13.15 ± 3.62) on insoluble fractions of plasma.In conclusion,the results suggest that the substances present on this extract can alter this labeling process,probably due to(i) redox properties(antioxidant and chelator activities) and/or(ii) specific actions in the binding sites where the 99mTc would be bound on the blood constituents.As a consequence,precaution is suggested on the interpretation of the nuclear medicine results from performed with blood constituents labeled with 99m Tc in patients that have undertaken LWDHW,although the current findings were obtained in experimental animal models.     

New testing methodology for the quantification of rock crushability: Compressive crushing value (CCV)

Crushing is a size reduction process that plays a key role in both mineral processing and crushing-screening plant design. Investigations on rock crushability have become an important issue in mining operations and the manufacture of industrial crusher equipment. The main objective of this research is to quantify the crushability of hard rocks based on their mineralogical and mechanical properties. For this purpose, the mineralogical, physical, and mechanical properties of various hard rocks were determined. A new compressive crushing value (CCV) testing methodology was proposed. The results obtained from CCV tests were compared with those from mineralogical inspections, rock strength as well as mechanical aggregate tests. Strong correlations were found between CCV and several rock and aggregate properties such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), the brittleness index (S₂₀), and aggregate impact value (AIV). Furthermore, the relationship between the mineralogical properties of the rocks and their CCVs were established. It is concluded that the proposed testing methodology is simple and highly repeatable and could be utilized as a pre-design tool in the design stage of the crushing process for rock quarries.     

石灰石粉对水泥浆体水化特性及流变性能的影响

利用微量热仪和旋转黏度计,从掺量和细度两方面研究了石灰石粉对水泥浆体水化特性和流变性能的影响.从水化放热速率和放热量角度分析了石灰石粉对水化特性的影响,从紧密堆积理论和固体颗粒体积分数两个角度分析石灰石粉对流变性能的影响.结果表明:石灰石粉可以促进体系的水化进程,且石灰石粉细度越大,促进作用越明显.石灰石粉掺量增大导致水泥含量减少,所以体系第二放热峰峰值和总放热量随石灰石粉掺量的增大而减小.随着石灰石粉掺量或细度的增加,复合体系中固体颗粒的体积分数逐渐增大,粒径分布模数减小,且体系的粒度分布曲线逐渐接近于最密堆积的理想分布曲线.复合体系的屈服应力和塑性黏度随石灰石粉掺量的增大而减小,随石灰石粉细度的增大而增大.     

生物质/聚吡咯复合材料的电化学性能研究

在造纸行业中作为废液的木质素磺酸盐是一种含有甲氧基和酚羟基的生物质衍生物,由于具有可逆的氧化还原反应而提供赝电容.但木质素磺酸盐的导电性低,从而不能直接作为超级电容器电极.本文在含木质素磺酸钠(Lig)的体系中原位聚合吡咯(Py)制备了具有导电性能的木质素磺酸钠/聚吡咯复合材料(LP).通过扫描电镜(SEM)和傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)测试对其形貌和结构进行表征.结果表明:当Lig与Py质量比为1∶1和电流密度为1 A/g时,复合材料具有高的比电容(346.8 F/g),相比于单纯聚吡咯(PPy)的比电容提高了约50 F/g.而且当电流密度从1 A/g升高到10 A/g时,LP1的倍率性能高达60.8%,比PPy提高了9.3%.在高电流密度10 A/g时,复合物LP1经过1 000次恒电流充放电后仍保留了47%的电容值,表明复合物LP1表现出好的循环稳定性.
