    Jingyi-Chen/cloud_parcel_mode: cloud parcel model

    No full text
    This is the first release of the cloud parcel model developed by Jingyi Chen. The development of this model was supported by Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2012-2014 (adiabatic version) and 2015-2017 (entrainment-mixing with entrained aerosols).

    Calibration of the Pulsed Electroacoustic Technique in the Presence of Trapped Charge

    No full text
    The influence of pulse voltage on the accuracy of charge density distribution in the pulsed electroacoustic technique (PEA) is discussed. It is shown that significant error can be introduced if a low dc voltage and high pulse voltage are used to calibrate charge density. However, our main focus in the present paper is to deal with one of the practical situations where space charge exists in the material prior to any measurements. The conventional calibration method can no longer be used to calibrate charge density due to the interference by the charge on the electrode induced by space charge. A method has been proposed which is based on two measurements. Firstly, the sample containing charge is measured without any applied voltage. The second measurement is carried out with a small external applied voltage. The applied voltage should be small enough so there is no disturbance of the existing charge in the sample. The difference of the two measurements can be used for calibration. An additional advantage of the proposed method avoids the influence of the pulse voltage on calibration and therefore gives a more accurate representation of space charge. The proposed method has been validated

    Blind joint maximum likelihood channel estimation and data detection for SIMO systems

    No full text
    A blind adaptive scheme is proposed for joint maximum likelihood (ML) channel estimation and data detection of single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems. The joint ML optimisation over channel and data is decomposed into an iterative optimisation loop. An efficient global optimisation algorithm called the repeated weighted boosting search is employed at the upper level to optimally identify the unknown SIMO channel model, and the Viterbi algorithm is used at the lower level to produce the maximum likelihood sequence estimation of the unknown data sequence. A simulation example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this joint ML optimisation scheme for blind adaptive SIMO systems

    Iterative Soft Interference Cancellation Aided Minimum Bit Error Rate Uplink Receiver Beamforming

    No full text
    Iterative multiuser receivers constitute an effective solution for transmission over Multiple Access Interference (MAI) infested channels, when invoking a combined multiuser detector and channel decoder. Most reduced-complexity methods in this area use the Complex-valued Minimum Mean Squared Error (CMMSE) Multiuser Detector (MUD). Since the desired output of BPSK systems is real-valued, minimizing the Mean Square Error (MSE) between the beamformer’s desired output and the real part of the beamformer output has the potential of significantly improving the attainable Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. We refer to this MMSE design as the Real-valued MMSE (RMMSE) receiver. In this paper, we explore a new Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) interference cancellation multiuser detection algorithm based on the novel Minimum BER (MBER) criterion. We demonstrate that the MBER turbo receiver outperforms both the CMMSE and the RMMSE algorithms, particularly in so-called ‘overloaded’ beamforming systems, where the number of receiver antennas is lower than the number of users supported

    Effect of polyethylene interface on space charge formation

    No full text
    This paper reports the results of an investigation into the space charge formation and decay at different material interfaces. In particular, the influence of the interface between electrode and polymer or polymer and polymer on the space charge dynamics has been studied. Planar samples were subjected to high dc electric stresses for extended periods of time and space charge measurements taken using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) technique. It has been found that the types of interface between electrode and polymer play a significant role in determining the charge distribution in the insulation and that the interface between polymer and polymer acts as a potential barrier to electrons whilst allowing positive charge carriers through easily
