In brief

Abstract

PAGE 771 Researchers from Vietnam present a study on how multiple users affect the performance of NOMA networks over α−κ−μ fading channels. The exact expressions in terms of ergodic capacities and outage probabilities are derived, along with a comparison with OMA under such shadowed fading. PAGE 787 A study into how double-layer electron transporting layers affects the efficiency of lead sulfide quantum dots solar cells is presented. A device with power conversion efficiency of 10.6% is achieved due to the enhancement in open circuit voltage. The loss-in-potential is reduced by 80 mV by use of the double-layer ZnO/SnO2 electron transporting layer. Ergodic Rate (BCPU) versus the average transmit SNR. PAGE 753 A correction algorithm for time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADAC) in order to solve the problem of calibration failure caused by frequency timing mismatch exceeding sub-Nyquist frequency is presented. The proposed technique consumes less hardware and works well without employing a band-pass filter or reference channel. Simulations show the calibration is effective throughout the entire Nyquist band of TIADC. Schematic of PbS QDs solar cell fabricated on ZnO/SnO2 ETL. PAGE 780 A novel out-of-plane integration of multilayer strip resonators is proposed. The structure retains the merit of traditional in-plane integrated devices whilst achieving the same amount of coupling with smaller horizontal space between resonators. Overall a 52.4% reduction in size is achieved whilst comparable performance is maintained. Block diagram of improved calibration direction correction algorithm. PAGE 782 German and British researchers present an implementation of two amplifiers in a commercial, flexible a-IGZO TFT technology. The amplifiers significantly outperform previously flexible a-IGZO TFT amplifiers in terms of bandwidth, gain-bandwidth product, unity-gain frequency, power consumption and area. The input sensitivity of a-IGZO TFT wireless systems can be increased considerably by using the amplifier circuit. Measurement of re-designed band-pass filter, samples in inset photograph.
