Microwave sounders aboard small satellite constellations in low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites represent two promising approaches to improve the temporal resolution of microwave atmospheric observations. An observation system simulation experiment (OSSE) is an effective means to assess the potential contribution of future observations to numerical weather prediction (NW...Show More
Geostationary orbit (GEO) microwave sounding technology, which can continuously monitor Earth and intensively observe weather conditions such as strong convection, has unique advantages. An observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) is an important means to evaluate new meteorological instruments and explore assimilation techniques for new observations. In this article, an OSSE based on the Chi...Show More
Due to the Gibbs oscillation effect of microwave aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs) occurring near land/ocean transitions, soil moisture and ocean salinity (SMOS) brightness temperature (TB) measurements are subject to land contamination in ocean regions (within a few hundred kilometers of the shore). In this article, the magnitude of land contamination in the SMOS L1C TB is demonstrated by com...Show More
There is often a lack of consistency in the footprints between satellite observation data, as well as between satellite observations and numerical models. This mismatch is typically caused by the different spatial resolutions of observed data in multiple frequency channels. The Backus–Gilbert inversion (BGI) algorithm is widely used for brightness temperature remapping in various microwave payload...Show More
The mirrored aperture synthesis (MAS) was proposed to improve the spatial resolution in passive microwave remote sensing. In MAS, the elements in the (H matrix) are the sampled values of the h function. In this article, the h function considering practical factors is derived. These practical factors include the normalized antenna pattern, the reflector reflectivity, the reflector length, and the d...Show More
The Ice Cloud Imager (ICI) aboard the second generation European meteorological satellites is the first space-borne submillimeter wave radiometer used for ice cloud remote sensing. Since ice clouds simultaneously contain three ice phase particles - ice, snow and graupel - and the physical distribution characteristics and submillimeter wave radiation properties of the three kinds of particles are d...Show More
The potential of satellite observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths for retrieving cloud ice has been demonstrated with data from airborne instruments. A major limitation in inversions of ice hydrometeors is the lack of accurate calculations of the bulk scattering parameters of ice clouds. The most uncertain aspect of modeling the millimeter- and submillimeter-wave scattering prope...Show More
L-band radio frequency interferences (RFIs) seriously contaminate remote sensing data. This poses a major challenge in processing microwave radiometric data and can substantially degrade the quality of the data. There is an urgent need to estimate RFI intensity to mitigate Gibbs errors caused by RFIs along the sidelobes. The traditional CLEAN algorithm is limited in its ability to account for the ...Show More
We proposed an anisotropic metasurface performing different scattering properties depending on the polarization of the incident electromagnetic wave. The proposed metasurface is composed of orthogonally I-shaped structures with a thickness of only 0.067 working wavelength, and the reflection phase for certain linearly polarized incidence can be independently controlled by tuning the corresponding ...Show More
A large number of videos are generated and uploaded to video websites (like youku, youtube) every day and video websites play more and more important roles in human life. While bringing convenience, the big video data raise the difficulty of video summarization to allow users to browse a video easily. However, although there are many existing video summarization approaches, the key frames selected...Show More
In this paper we study automatic recognition of cars of four types: Bus, Truck, Van and Small car. For this problem we consider two data driven frameworks: a deep neural network and a support vector machine using SIFT features. The accuracy of the methods is validated with a database of over 6500 images, and the resulting prediction accuracy is over 97 %. This clearly exceeds the accuracies of ear...Show More
This paper presents an enhanced phase-locked loop (PLL) based on the second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) for tracking and restructuring alternating current (AC) signals with unknown amplitude, DC offsets, frequency, phase angle and phase sequence. According to the second-order generalized integrator configured as a quadrature signal generator (SOGI-QSG), amplitudes, DC offsets and the phase...Show More
Aiming at the problem of short-circuit protection, a novel bridge-type topology of fault current limiting (FCL) is established based on resonant characteristics. It is equivalent to a piece of wire during the normal operating state. When short-circuit fault occurs, the dc limiting reactor inserts automatically and rapidly under the joint action of the capacitor, limiting the increasing speed and a...Show More
An optimized optical router is proposed in this paper for mesh-based Optical Network-on-Chip. The new 5 × 5 optical router employs lower number of microring resonators and better utilization of microring resonators based on Crux router.Show More
In this paper, we investigate the number detection of a mixture of noncoherent and coherent signals impinging on a simple planar array consisting of two parallel uniform linear arrays (ULAs). Firstly, the numbers of noncoherent signals and coherent groups are obtained from the ranks of two outer-product matrices. Then a new oblique projector is obtained to suppress the noncoherent signals in the r...Show More
A two-arm Archimedean spiral antenna (TAS) is proposed to provide a circularly polarized (CP) normal beam or conical beam. The antenna is fed by coaxial lines without a balun circuit. When it is excited out of phase, a CPnormal beam which is almost symmetric with respect to the antenna axis is produced. While excited in phase, it radiates a CP conical beam. The antenna height is chosen to be extre...Show More
A novel circularly polarization microstrip antenna array operated in S band is presented. The antenna array consists of four subarrays. The dual feeds are placed in orthogonal directions, and are connected to the Wilkinson power divider with the microstrip 90 degree phase shift between its two output feedlines. The patch is coupled by two orthogonal H-shaped apertures, which can enhance the isolat...Show More

With the increasing scale of integrated circuits, fault appears more than ever in the chips. It's significant to apply fault-tolerant routing algorithms. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm based on spare links mesh which will fully utilizes the idle ports while keeping the router size unchanged. When a faulty router is detected, its neighboring routers change the links of their idle ports to ...Show More
This paper addresses the issue of 2D human upper-body pose estimation under cluttered environments using a discriminative structured framework. Most previous approaches focus on solving such a problem using generative models. However, a generative model has two drawbacks: a) not suitable for real-time application due to its slow inference algorithm and b) prone to over fitting given limited traini...Show More
A new optical method of testing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater with multi-wavelength at UV band is reported. The normal UV254 is based on the UV light absorption by wastewater at 254nm according to the Beer-Lambert law. But not all of the wastewater has obviously absorption at 254nm. The new method use back-propagation artificial neural network(BP network) to determine COD of the s...Show More
Multipath is one of the main error sources of the differential applications of global positioning systems (GPS). The maximum likelihood estimation of multipath is simplified using the idea of deploying estimation points. There is ill-conditioning in the simplified model, decreasing the numerical stability of the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) in some conditions. The influence of ill-condition...Show More
An image retrieval approach combined with relevance feedback is proposed. A set of blobs that are generated from image features using clustering can be used to describe an image. Given a training set of images with annotations, we apply probabilistic models to predict the probability of a blob in image according to the query words. For improving the initial query results, we apply a relevance feed...Show More
