Integration of array antennas in chip package for 60-GHz radios by Liu, Duixian., Zhang, Y. P.

“…Then, we examine switched-beam array antennas using the Rotman lens or Butter matrix, illustrating that they allow scanning only in one plane and some miss a link even in the boresight direction. Nevertheless, a switched-beam array antenna uses a conceptually simple switch circuit to select the best signal path and may be a cost-effective approach to implementing steerable antennas in the 60-GHz band. …”

Nonlinear channel equalization for wireless communication systems using Legendre neural networks by Patra, Jagdish Chandra, Meher, Pramod Kumar, Chakraborty, Goutam

“…In this paper, we present a computationally efficient neural network (NN) for equalization of nonlinear communication channels with 4-QAM signal constellation. The functional link NN (FLANN) for nonlinear channel equalization which we had proposed earlier, offers faster mean square error (MSE) convergence and better bit error rate (BER) performance compared to multilayer perceptron (MLP). …”

Urban local authorities and the delivery of micromobility strategies obstacles in the implementation of bicycle hire in the UK by Dudley, G, Banister, D, Schwanen, T

“…The dynamics of the delivery of micromobility can therefore offer strong challenges to urban local authorities in constructing stable networks, mobilizing public support for their actions, and in linking in with other transport services. The two case studies selected here cover the development of bicycle hire in the UK, with particular reference to dockless bicycle hire. …”

X-Ray Computed Tomography Study of the Microstructure of Superconducting MgB 2 Bulks by Wang, Y, Grovenor, C, Speller, S, Shollock, B, Mousavi, T

“…MgB2 is a promising candidate for commercial superconducting applications because, as grain boundaries in MgB2 are not weak links, there are fewer limitations on the choice of processing technique compared to high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cuprates. …”

Correlates of lifestyle patterns among children in Singapore aged 10 years: the growing up in Singapore towards healthy outcomes (GUSTO) study by Tan, Sarah Yi Xuan, Chia, Airu, Tai, Bee Choo, Toh, Jia Ying, Colega, Marjorelee, Padmapriya, Natarajan, Setoh, Peipei, Kee, Michelle Zhi Ling, Yuan, Wen Lun, Lee, Yung Seng, Loo, Benny Kai Guo, Yap, Fabian Kok Peng, Tan, Kok Hian, Godfrey, Keith M., Chong, Yap Seng, Eriksson, Johan, Müller-Riemenschneider, Falk, Chong, Mary Foong-Fong

“…Having siblings, pet ownership, mother’s physical activity, parenting style, parental bonding, child’s outdoor time, and breakfast consumption were not associated with children’s lifestyle patterns. Conclusions: These findings provide direction for future interventions by identifying vulnerable groups and contexts that should be prioritised.…”

An integrated dual voltage loop control for capacitance reduction in CHB-based regenerative motor drive systems by Yang, Zezhou, Sun, Jianjun, Tang, Yi, Huang, Meng, Zha, Xiaoming

“…The inherent second-harmonic ripple power in a cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based motor drive system poses the demand of large capacitors in the dc link of each cell. In this paper, an active power decoupling method based on negative sequence current injection and its corresponding dual voltage closed-loop control are proposed to solve this problem without adding any extra components. …”
