Performance and power dissipation comparisons between 28 Gb/s NRZ, PAM, CAP and optical OFDM systems for data communication applications

Theoretical investigations have been carried out to analyze and compare the link power budget and power dissipation of non-return-to-zero (NRZ), pulse amplitude modulation-4 (PAM-4), carrierless amplitude and phase modulation-16 (CAP-16) and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (16-QAM-OFDM) systems for data center interconnect scenarios. It is shown that for multimode fiber (MMF) links, NRZ modulation schemes with electronic equalization offer the best link power budget margins with the least power dissipation for short transmission distances up to 200 m; while OOFDM is the only scheme which can support a distance of 300 m albeit with power dissipation as high as 4 times that of NRZ. For short single mode fiber (SMF) links, all the modulation schemes offer similar link power budget margins for fiber lengths up to 15 km, but NRZ and PAM-4 are preferable due to their system simplicity and low power consumption. For lengths of up to 30 km, CAP-16 and OOFDM are required although the schemes consume 2 and 4 times as much power respectively compared to that of NRZ. OOFDM alone allows link operation up to 35 km distances. © 1983-2012 IEEE.

Delayed control of a Moore-Greitzer axial compressor model

Several feedback control laws have appeared in the literature concerning the stabilization of the nonlinear Moore-Greitzer axial compression model. Motivated by magnitude and rate limitations imposed by the physical implementation of the control law, Larsen et al. studied a dynamic implementation of the S-controller suggested by Sepulchre and Kokotović. They showed the potential benefit of implementing the S-controller through a first-order lag: while the location of the closed-loop equilibrium achieved with the static control law was sensitive to poorly known parameters, the dynamic implementation resulted in a small limit cycle at a very desirable location, insensitive to parameter variations. In this paper, we investigate the more general case when the control is applied with a time delay. This can be seen as an extension of the model with a first-order lag. The delay can either be a result of system constraints or be deliberately implemented to achieve better system behavior. The resulting closed-loop system is a set of parameter-dependent delay differential equations. Numerical bifurcation analysis is used to study this model and investigate whether the positive results obtained for the first-order model persist, even for larger values of the delay.

Comparison of 100 Gb/s Ethernet links using PAM-8, multi-pulse, and hybrid CAP-16/QAM-16 modulation schemes

A theoretical study compares 100 Gb/s Ethernet links and finds that multi-pulse and hybrid CAP-16/QAM-16 (PAM-8) schemes support transmission over 10 km (2 km) SMF. Multi-pulse and CAP-16/QAM-16 need 2× the number of arithmetic operations and 7× or 3× the number of filter taps respectively but exhibit reduced power dissipation compared with PAM-8.

沃特和PAM施用方式对土壤水分及玉米生长的影响

为了鉴别沃特保水剂和PAM不同施用方式的施用效果,在陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区开展了撒施、沟施、穴施对土壤水含量和玉米生长影响的田间试验。结果表明不同施用方式提高了0～10cm土层土壤水含量,而30～40cm土层土壤水含量则随降水量的多少呈现出不同的规律性。随着玉米的生长,不同施用方式影响的土层深度逐渐加深,从三叶期0～50cm土层增加到成熟期的0～200cm土层,土壤水含量表现为沟施、穴施高于撒施,撒施高于对照。3种施用方式对玉米出苗无显著影响,但均提高了玉米生物量、籽粒产量、水分利用效率,降低了玉米的耗水量,其中沟施、穴施的效果强于撒施。沃特、PAM相同施用方式对土壤水含量和玉米生长无显著影响,且沟施和穴施之间无显著性差异,但沃特单位施用量单位面积的增产量高于PAM。玉米生产中,沃特、PAM应以沟施或穴施为主。

沃特和PAM保水剂对土壤水分及马铃薯生长的影响研究

在陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区以不施为对照,开展了浸种、穴施保水剂沃特和PAM对土壤水分和马铃薯生长影响研究。结果表明:沃特、PAM不同处理10~20cm、30~40cm土层土壤含水率在盛花前略高于对照,茎叶衰老后略低于对照。不同处理0~100cm土层土壤水含量苗期略高于对照;花期沃特、PAM穴施用量15和30kg/hm2处理极显著高于对照,沃特、PAM穴施用量60kg/hm2和1.0%浸种处理显著低于对照;收获期不同处理均低于对照。不同处理花期、收获期均表现为沃特、PAM施用量越大,生物量、块茎产量越高,块茎个数越少,最大块茎越大。从播种到花期沃特、PAM穴施用量15和30kg/hm2处理的耗水量显著低于对照,从播种到收获期不同处理的耗水量与对照无显著差异,但花期、收获期不同处理的水分利用率和水分产出率均极显著高于对照。沃特和PAM在马铃薯生产应用中,穴施应以30kg/hm2到45kg/hm2为宜。用1.0%的浓度浸种,可成为沃特和PAM在马铃薯生产中利用的主要方式。
