Abstract:
A wireless communication method may include receiving a first data stream comprising a data sequence and computing a permutation sequence based on a content of the received first data stream. The permutation sequence is a non-predetermined sequence. The method may further include performing a permutation on the first data stream based on the permutation sequence to generate a permuted first data stream being configured for wireless transmission.

Abstract:
A method for removing ICI for a received symbol is provided. Firstly, a transmitted symbol is received via a wireless channel within a symbol time so as to obtain the received symbol. The transmitted symbol includes P identical original partial data, wherein P is a positive integer larger than 1. The received symbol includes P received partial data corresponding to the original partial data, respectively. Next, on a time domain at least two of the P received partial data are copied so as to obtain at least two copied partial data. Each copied partial data includes P copies of its corresponding received partial data. After that, an estimated ICI of the time domain is determined according to the product of a predetermined constant array and the difference between the copied partial data. Afterwards, the estimated ICI is subtracted from the received symbol so as to obtain an output symbol.

Abstract:
The present invention relates, e.g., to a method for determining the size distribution of DNA molecules in a sample comprising cell-free nucleic acid, comprising labeling the DNA with a fluorescent dye in a stoichiometric manner, subjecting the DNA to molecular spectroscopy (e.g., cylindrical illumination confocal spectroscopy), analyzing suitable fluorescent burst parameters of the labeled DNA, and conducting single molecule DNA integrity analysis of the labeled DNA molecules in the sample. In one embodiment of the invention, the method is used as a diagnostic method for detecting cancer.
Abstract:
A microwave or millimeter-wave balun is provided. The balun uses three edge-coupled lines along with a plurality of air bridges instead of two edge-coupled lines used in a conventional planar Marchand balun. The first edge-coupled line and the second edge-coupled line are substantially parallel, and the third edge-coupled line is disposed also substantially in parallel between the first edge-coupled line and the second edge-coupled line. The plurality of air bridges are transmission lines between the first edge-coupled line and the second edge-coupled line. The air bridges have total width longer than one half of the total length of the first edge-coupled line or the second edge-coupled line. By combining three edge-coupled-lines and a plurality of air bridges, the Marchand balun has a higher coupling coefficient and increases the operation bandwidth. The microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer based on the balun can provide compact size compared to conventional ones.
Abstract:
A distributed active transformer (DAT) based millimeter-wave (MMW) power amplifier circuit is designed for power amplification of MMW frequency signals. The proposed MMW power amplifier circuit is characterized by distributing the input frequency signals into two sets of differential signals and by the use of a distributed active transformer circuit unit to process these two sets of differential signals to thereby generate an amplified frequency signal as the end result of output. The invention provides higher and greater added values and power added efficiency (PAE) and is ideal for use in millimeter-wave communications systems with an operation frequency around 60 GHz.
