A 140 GHz transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) chip set has been developed in 65 nm CMOS by using on– off keying non-coherent modulation to support high speed proximity data communication. To the author’s best knowledge, it enables the first integrated multi-Gbps data link in D-band by saving power hungry frequency synthesizer, high speed data convertors and complicated digital signal processor. ...

I describe recent high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of surface emission from nearby, thermally emitting neutron stars. I focus on RX J0720.4−3125, RX J1308.6+2127, and RX J1605.3+3249, all of which have similar temperature, but differ in the presence and strength of absorption features in their spectra. I discuss possible causes for the absorption we see in two sources, and conclude that it ma...

With an ever-increasing number of frequency bands supported by cellular transceivers (TRX), front-end (FE) complexity increases due to a large number of external SAW filters. The challenge of removing inter-stage filters from multiband 3G receivers (RX) resides in the additional noise contribution due to limited transmitter (TX) leakage rejection at the RX input, intermodulation (IM) products a...

Rx-mediated extreme resistance against potato virus X in potato does not involve a necrotic hypersensitive response at the site of initial infection and thereby differs from the more usual type of disease resistance in plants. However, the Rx protein is structurally similar to products of disease resistance genes conferring the hypersensitive response. We show in both Nicotiana spp and potato t...

This paper presents a comparison in the performance analysis between a newly developed crossover operator called Rayleigh Crossover (RX) and an existing crossover operator called Laplace Crossover (LX). Coherent to the previously defined Scaled Truncated Pareto Mutation (STPM) operator to form two (2) generational RCGAs called RX-STPM and LX-STPM, both crossovers are utilized. A set of ten (10)...

For a Riemannian manifold M n with the curvature tensor R, the Jacobi operator RX is defined by RX Y = R(X, Y)X. The manifold M n is called pointwise Osserman if, for every p ∈ M n , the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator RX do not depend of a unit vector X ∈ TpM n , and is called globally Osserman if they do not depend of the point p either. R. Osserman conjectured that globally Osserman manif...

In this paper, we propose a new joint transmit and receive spatial/frequency-domain filtering for single-carrier (SC) multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) eigenmode transmission using iterative interference cancellation (IC). Iterative IC is introduced to a previously proposed joint transmit and receive spatial/frequency-domain filtering based on minimum mean square error criterion (called join...

We report observations which confirm the identities of the optical counterpart to the transient sources RX J0544.1-7100 and RX J0520.5-6932. The counterparts are suggested to be a B-type stars. Optical data from the observations carried out at ESO and SAAO, together with results from the OGLE data base, are presented. In addition, X-ray data from the RXTE all-sky monitor are investigated for lo...

A four-port diplexer consisting of two back-to-back three-port diplexers combined with a 180° phase shifter in one branch is presented. The technique achieves high Tx/Rx isolation with relatively low degree filters. Two experimental diplexers are demonstrated, one with equal Q resonators in all filters and the other with dissimilar Q factors, enabling miniaturization and cost reduction. Measure...
