The InAlN/GaN heterojunction appears to be a new alternative to the common AlGaN/GaN configuration with higher sheet charge density and higher thermal stability, promising very high power and temperature performance as well as robustness. This new system opens up the possibility to scale the barrier down to 5 nm while maintaining nearly its ideal materials and device properties. The status, foc...

This paper proposes a class of covariance estimators based on information divergences in heterogeneous environments. In particular, the problem of covariance estimation is reformulated on the Riemannian manifold of Hermitian positive-definite (HPD) matrices. The means associated with information divergences are derived and used as the estimators. Without resorting to the complete knowledge of t...

In Lecture 2 we have learned about matched filtering. We made a number of hypotheses, including that the ‘signal’ is constant, even if it is possibly corrupted by noise. Two questions arise: how do we estimate the signal from noisy examples? (Simple answer: average the examples). What do we do when the signal is not constant? The answer to this second question is more complicated and depends on...

We report the results of the first multi-object spectroscopic observations at the Danish 1.54m telescope at La Silla, Chile. Observations of five cluster candidates from the ESO Imaging Survey Cluster Candidate Catalog are described. From these observations we confirm the reality of the five clusters with measured redshifts of 0.11 ≤ z ≤ 0.35. We estimate velocity dispersions in the range 294–6...

© 2010 ETRI Journal, Volume 32, Number 2, April 2010 We propose a new matched filter architecture for chirp spread spectrum in IEEE 802.15.4a. By using relations among the four subchirps, the proposed architecture comprises four subfilters utilizing only a set of coefficients matched to the first subchirp. The four subfilters share adders and registers, and as a result, the required adders and ...
