    Clupisoma sinense (Huang) (Fig. 3) Platytropius sinensis Huang 1981: 437, fig. 1 (Holotype: KIZ 735124, China: Yunnan: Puer County: Xiaoganlanba); Chu & Kuang 1990: 129 (Shuanjiang County: Xiaoheijiang; Simao County: Xiaoganlanba; Lancang County: Menglang; Jinghong County: Menghan). Laides sinensis: Rainboth 1996: 152 (mainstem of the Mekong, Cambodia). Clupisoma sinensis: Ng 1999: 384; Chen et al. 2005: 570 (Lancang Jiang); Chen in Yang et al. 2010: 509 (middle and lower Lancang-jiang). Clupisoma sinense: Ferraris 2007: 357 (Mekong River basin, including Lancangjiang (= upper Mekong River of Yunnan) and Malay Peninsula); Kottelat 2013: 252; Chen 2013: 318 (middle and lower Lancang-jiang); Zhang et al. 2016: 181 (lower Lancang-jiang). Material examined. Holotype: KIZ 735124, 110.1 mm SL, Yunnan: Pu-Er County: Tongxing Township, main stream of the Lancang-jiang. Paratypes: KIZ 735114–116, 3 ex., 164.3–175.4 mm SL, collected with the holotype; KIZ 735044, 734056, 2 ex., 146.7–200 mm SL, Yunnan: Jinghong County: Menghan Township, main stream of the Lancang-jiang; KIZ 737005, 1 ex., 187.7 mm SL, Yunnan: Lcncang County: Menglang; KIZ 75001, 764001, 2 ex., 219.8 mm SL and 254.4 mm SL, Yunnan: Shuangjiang County: Xiaoheijiang, a branch of Lancang-jiang; KIZ 7890578, 1 ex., 205.7 mm SL, Yunnan: Mengla County: Menglun Township, a branch of Lancang-jiang. Diagnosis. Morphometric and meristic data are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Clupisoma sinense is distinguished from its congeners occurring in China by the following combination of characters: branched anal-fin rays 40–43 (vs. more than 47); dorsal-fin origin located at vertical through middle distance between pectoral-fin origin and pelvic-fin origin (vs. behind middle distance between pectoral-fin origin and pelvic-fin origin, or close to pelvic-fin origin); pectoral-fin spine not extending to pelvic-fin origin (vs. extending to or beyond pelvic-fin origin). Distribution. Lower Lancang-jiang in Yunnan, China (upper Mekong River basin) (Fig. 2); Mekong River basin in Laos (Kottelat 2001), Thailand, and Cambodia; and the Malay Peninsula (Zakaria-Ismail 1992, Rainboth 1996, Ng 1999).Published as part of Li, Xu & Zhou, Wei, 2018, The species of Clupisoma from Yunnan, China (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Ailiidae), with a comment on the validity of the family Ailiidae, pp. 77-86 in Zootaxa 4476 (1) on pages 79-80, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4476.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/144044

    Design and Analysis of a 21-29-GHz Ultra-Wideband Receiver Front-End in 0.18-mu m CMOS Technology

    [[abstract]]This paper reports the design and analysis of 21-29-GHz CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA), balun and mixer in a standard 0.18-m CMOS process for ultra-wideband automotive radar systems. To verify the proposed LNA, balun, and mixer architectures, a simplified receiver front-end comprising an LNA, a double-balanced Gilbert-cell-based mixer, and two Marchand baluns was implemented. The wideband Marchand baluns can convert the single RF and local oscillator (LO) signals to nearly perfect differential signals over the 21-29-GHz band. The performance of the mixer is improved with the current-bleeding technique and a parallel resonant inductor at the differential outputs of the RF transconductance stage. Over the 21-29-GHz band, the receiver front-end exhibits excellent noise figure of 4.6 +/- 0.5 dB, conversion gain of 23.7 +/- 1.4 dB, RF port reflection coefficient lower than -8.8 dB, LO-IF isolation lower than -47 dB, LO-RF isolation lower than -55 dB, and RF-IF isolation lower than -35.5 dB. The circuit occupies a chip area of 1.25 x 1.06 mm(2), including the test pads. The dc power dissipation is only 39.2 mW.[[note]]SC
