High‐frequency geometric ray theory is used to investigate the refracted arrival from a high‐speed layer embedded in an infinite medium. The effect of changing the layer thickness to dominant wavelength ratio [Formula: see text] and the range to depth ratio (ρ/H) is analyzed for a point compressional source. The results approximate the exact solution when [Formula: see text]. The theory predicts shingling and shows that it is range‐limited. Factors which improve the resolution between reflected arrivals increase the range over which shingling occurs. As the range increases, the traveltime curves for all the multiply reflected rays which cross the layer the same number of times in the shear mode approach the same asymptote (regardless of the number of crossings in the compressional mode). When the layer is thick compared to the dominant wavelength, the refracted arrival may consist of a series of events separated by equal time intervals. Each event is produced by the superposition of reflected waves which cross the layer the same number of times in the shear mode. The amplitude of each event satisfies [Formula: see text], where H is the layer depth. Because the head waves decay like [Formula: see text], the reflected waves predominate at large ranges.

Head Waves

The classical problem of the incidence of spherical waves on a plane boundary has been reformulated from the computational point of view by providing a high frequency approximation to the exact solution applicable to any seismic body wave, regardless of the number of conversions or reflections from the bottoming interface. In our final expressions the ray amplitude of the interference reflected-head wave is cast in terms of a Weber function, the numerical values of which can be conveniently stored on a computer disk file and retrieved via direct access during an actual run. Our formulation also accounts for the increase of energy carried by multiple head waves arising during multiple reflections of the reflected wave from the bottoming interface. In this form our high frequency expression for the ray amplitude of the interference reflected-head wave can represent a complementary technique to asymptotic ray theory in the vicinity of critical regions where the latter cannot be used. Since numerical tests indicate that our method produces results very close to those obtained by the numerical integration of the exact solution, its combination with asymptotic ray theory yields a powerful technique for the speedy computation of synthetic seismograms for plane homogeneous layers.

High Frequency Trading (HFT), mainly based on high speed infrastructure, is a significant element of the trading industry. However, trading machines generate enormous quantities of trading messages that are difficult to explore for financial researchers and traders. Visualization tools of financial data usually focus on portfolio management and the analysis of the relationships between risk and return. Beside risk-return relationship, there are other aspects that attract financial researchers like liquidity and moments of flash crashes in the market. HFT researchers can extract these aspects from HFT data since it shows every detail of the market movement. In this paper, we present HFTViz, a visualization tool designed to help financial researchers explore the HFT dataset provided by NASDAQ exchange. HFTViz provides a comprehensive dashboard aimed at facilitate HFT data exploration. HFTViz contains two sections. It first proposes an overview of the market on a specific date. After selecting desired stocks from overview visualization to investigate in detail, HFTViz also provides a detailed view of the trading messages, the trading volumes and the liquidity measures. In a case study gathering five domain experts, we illustrate the usefulness of HFTViz.

The work presents the results of application of panoramic interferential technique which is based on elastic layers (sensors) usage to obtain pressure distribution on the flat plate having sharp leading edge. Experiments were done in supersonic wind tunnel at Mach number M = 4. Sensitivity and response time are shown to be enough to register pressure pulsation against standing and traveling sensor surface waves. Applying high-frequency image acquiring is demonstrated to make possible to distinguish at visualization images high-speed disturbances propagating in the boundary layer from low-speed surface waves

High-frequency communication equipment urgently needs substrate materials with lower dielectric loss, better heat dissipation, and higher stability, to ensure real-time low-loss and high-speed signal transmission. The core-shell structure of Sr2CeO4@SiO2 was prepared by the sol-gel method, and the modified powders with different volume contents were introduced into the cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) to prepare hydrocarbon resin-based composites. Due to the protective effect of the SiO2 shell, the stability of the powders is significantly improved, and the moisture barrier and corrosion resistance of the composites are enhanced, which is conducive to the normal operation of electronic equipment in harsh and complex environments. When the filler content is 20 vol%, the composite has a dielectric loss of 0.0023 at 10 GHz, a dielectric constant of 3.5, a thermal conductivity of 0.9 W·m−1·K−1, a water absorption of 0.32% and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 37.7 ppm/℃. The COC/Sr2CeO4@SiO2 composites exhibit excellent dielectric properties and thermal conductivity, while maintaining good moisture resistance and dimensional stability, which shows potential application prospects in the field of high-frequency substrates.

Rf Energy

With the advent of modern wireless communication technology and increasing requirement of high speed network, network life-time is becoming a major area of concern. The need of network power management is gaining attention with the high data network in place and is making a paradigm shift towards green communication. Hence embedding the RF energy harvesting (EH) capability in a wireless network is becoming inevitable. To make RF EH a reality a high frequency rectifier is indeed indispensable along with other circuits in the system. The RF energy needs to be harvested from the available sources in the ambience. It is also seen that the current generation of RF sources radiates at a very low signal power. So, to successfully convert and store this energy, the rectifier must not only be able to provide a sufficiently higher percentage conversion ratio (PCE) but also be able to cater it at a lower range of signal power. This paper presents the design and analysis of a simplified 3-transistor high frequency rectifier. A threshold voltage compensation technique is also incorporated and it achieves a PCE upto 85% at -2dBm in its single stage implementation. This is observed to be one of the highest in-class efficiency as compared to recently reported designs. From the frequency response it is seen to exhibit wide band performance spanning almost all popular wireless bands. The dynamic power dissipation (DPD) is calculated to be 6.25pW at -2dB, whereas the leakage power (LP) is observed to be zero.
