Near-field performance analysis of locally-conformal perfectly matched absorbers via Monte Carlo simulations

In this paper, the end-to-end performance of a single-branch two-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network in a mixed Rayleigh-Nakagami-m fading environment, is investigated. Four diﬀerent fading scenarios and three standard relay conﬁgurations for each scenario are considered. Exact analytical expressions for the outage probability and tight upper bounds for the ergodic capacity are derived. Results of Monte Carlo simulations are provided to verify the accuracy of the analytical results.

Close Form

We are concerned with the problem of interferometric phase estimation using multiple baselines. Simple close-form efficient expressions for computing the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for general phase estimation problems is derived. Performance analysis of the interferometric phase estimation is carried out based on Monte Carlo simulations and CRLB calculation. We show that by utilizing the Cramer-Rao lower bound we are able to determine the combination of baselines that will enable us to achieve the most accurate estimating performance.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) performed at low (≤ 5 kV) accelerating voltages in the SEM has the potential for providing quantitative microanalytical information with a spatial resolution of ∼100 nm. In the present work, EDS analyses were performed on magnesium ferrite spinel [(MgxFe1−x)Fe2O4] dendrites embedded in a MgO matrix, as shown in Fig. 1. spatial resolution of X-ray microanalysis at conventional accelerating voltages is insufficient for the quantitative analysis of these dendrites, which have widths of the order of a few hundred nanometers, without deconvolution of contributions from the MgO matrix. However, Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the interaction volume for MgFe2O4 is ∼150 nm at 3 kV accelerating voltage and therefore sufficient to analyze the dendrites without matrix contributions.Single-crystal {001}-oriented MgO was reacted with hematite (Fe2O3) powder for 6 h at 1450°C in air and furnace cooled. The specimen was then cleaved to expose a clean cross-section suitable for microanalysis.
