Motivated by recent works on spectrum-sharing systems, this paper investigates the effects of transmit diversity on the peak interference power limited cognitive radio(CR) networks. In particular, we derive the ergodic and outage capacities of a spectrum-sharing system with multiple transmit-antennas. To derive the capacities, peak interference power constraint is imposed to protect the primary receiver. In a CR transmitter and receiver pair with multiple antennas at the transmitter side, the allowable transmit power is distributed over the transmit-antennas to achieve transmit diversity at the receiver. We investigate the effect of this power distribution when a peak interference power constraint is imposed to protect the primary receiver. We show that the transmit diversity does not improve the ergodic capacity compared to the single-antenna system. On the other hand, the transmit diversity significantly improves the outage capacity. For example, two transmit-antennas improve the outage capacity 10 times compared to the single-antenna with a 0 dB interference constraint.

An empirical functional form was suggested for the analysis of the emission spectrum of high-power light-emitting diode (LED) consisting of a sharp blue peak from the LED chips and a broad yellow peak from the phosphor layer. The peak positions, half widths, shape parameters, and amplitudes of these two peaks were reliably obtained as a function of the temperature, and the results were discussed qualitatively in relation with the junction temperature. The adoption of an inert liquid was found to have significantly reduced the LED temperature and the color shift of the emitted light. The phenomenological approach used in this study may be helpful in the simulation of the LED spectrum under various thermal conditions, and may thus be helpful in the improvement of the device performance.

Historically, spectrum use has been increased through use of high frequencies, improved modulation, and between antenna techniques. However, these approaches are reaching practical limits. Cognitive radio allows new approaches to improve the intensity of use in spectrum which is licensed but under utilized. This paper addresses two such possible approaches. Real time spectrum markets permit users to exchange spectrum use. Interruptible spectrum would allow public sector spectrum users to recoup economic benefits for allowing others to share their low average, high peak use spectrum subject to preemption.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between parameters affecting internal quality of watermelon and its acoustic characteristics. The measuring and analyzing system was established to study the acoustic characteristics of watermelon. Algorithms for analyzing sound signals were developed. Sound signals which was detected with the microphone were filtered, and their spectrum was computed by means of the Fast Fourier Transform. As watermelon changed from the unripe stage to ripe, acoustic waves in time domain became complicated, and several components appeared in frequency domain. The correlationship was investigated between some parameters affecting internal quality of the watermelon and several peak frequencies. Results indicated that weight, density and sugar content had high correlations with several frequencies(the first peak frequency, the second peak frequency, and the third peak frequency). And the sugar content and the volume of the watermelon were highly correlated with the third peak frequency.

In this work a method to detect the vibrational peak and to decide the vibrational mode of detected peak for core internal vibration monitoring system which is particularly concerned on the core support barrel (CSB) and fuel assemblies is developed. Flow induced vibration and aging process in the reactor internals cause unsoundness of the internal structure. In order to monitor the vibrational status of core internal, signals from the ex-core neutron detectors are transformed into frequency domain. By analyzing transformed frequency domain signal, an analyst can acquire the information on the vibrational characteristics of the structures, i.e., vibration frequencies of each component, vibrational level, modes of vibration, and the causes of the abnormal vibration, if any. This study is focused on the development of the automated monitoring system. Several methods are surveyed to define the peaks in power spectrum and fuzzy theory is used to automatic detection of the vibrational peaks. Fuzzy algorithm is adopted to define the modes of vibration using the peak values from fuzzy peak recognition, phase spectrum, and coherence spectrum.

We solve the momentum resolved d-wave Eliashberg equation employing the magnetic excitation spectrum from the inelastic neutron scattering on the LSCO superconductors reported by Vignolle et al. The magnetic excitation spectrum exhibits 2 peaks: a sharp incommensurate peak at 18 meV at momentum (${\pi}$, ${\pi}{\pm}{\delta}$) and (${\pi}{\pm}{\delta}$, ${\pi}$) and another broad peak near 40~70 meV at momentum (${\pi}$, ${\pi}$). Above 70 meV, the magnetic excitation spectrum has a long tail that is shaped into a circle centered at (${\pi}$, ${\pi}$) with ${\delta}$. The sign of the real part of the self-energy is determined by the momentum position of the peaks of the magnetic excitation spectrum and bare dispersion. We will discuss the effects of the each component of the magnetic excitation spectrum on the self-energy, the pairing self-energy.

An improved method of spectrum detection algorithm for mass spectrum analysis system is proposed. In the conventional spectrum detection algorithm that utilizes the results of the linear approximation and quadratic curve fitting on the ion signal block of each mass index, it is possible to reduce the detection error in the mass spectrum detection by further improving the condition of eliminating the invalid ion signals. Also, the proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the peak value of the mass spectrum by using the result of quadratic curve fitting for the effective ion signal block in which the peak position error is corrected. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, computer simulations were carried out step by step using the measured ion signal. Also, by comparing the rate of false detection for several inputs, the proposed method showed better detection performance than the conventional method.

In this work, effects of plasma on different hardness of welding steel using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy were investigated. The ratios of ionic to atomic spectrum peaks were related to its material hardness. The major spectrum peak (Fe) and minor spectrum peak (Mn) were considered as monitoring elements. The stronger repulse plasma was generated, the harder material it was. The ratios of ionic to atomic spectrum peaks increased with respect to the material hardness as well. The correlation of minor spectrum peaks was stronger than that of major spectrum peaks. However, the major spectrum peaks indicated a similar trend, which could be used to estimate the hardness, too. Based on this result, the method could be used as a non-contact remote measurement of material properties.

The delta modulation used for controlling the speed of an induction motor has high peak of harmonic spectrum at low speed range causing acoustic noises in the induction motor. This paper proposes to suppress the harmonics by synchronizing the reference signal with the hysteresis windows for controlling the distribution of the switching frequency. As a result we can decrease the peak of harmonic spectrum. The simulation results show that the peak spectrum of harmonics can be reduced up to 60%.

The research is the structural and optical characteristics of the Cadmium Sulfide(CdS) film, nanowires and nanobelts grown on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate using the vapor phase epitaxy method. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) were used to identify the shape of the surface of the nanostructures and x-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to evaluate the structural characterisitcs. As a result, the XRD was confirmed the CdS peak and the substrate peak and TEM showed single crystals with wurtzite hexagonal structure on the nanostructures. As for the optical characteristic of the nanostructures, photoluminescence(PL) and micro-raman spectrum were measured. The PL measurements confirmed the emission peak related bound exciton to neutral donor($D^0X$) peak and free exciton(FX) peak. The micro-raman spectrum showed that the peak of the nanostructures were similar to the pure crystalline CdS peak and each peak were overtone of LO phonon of the hexagonal CdS of the longitudinal optical(LO) phonon mode. Therefore, it is confirmed that the CdS nanostructures grown in this research have superior crystallinity.
