基于65-nm CMOS工艺的W波段两路电流合成型功率放大器的设计

采用三级差分共源结构设计了一种基于65-nm CMOS工艺的W波段功率放大器,并利用两路电流型功率合成结构进行功率合成以提升输出功率.为了同时实现单差分转换、阻抗匹配、直流供电,匹配网络采用变压器结构.仿真结果显示,在1 V的电源电压下,该功率放大器的小信号增益为12.7~15.7 dB,3-dB带宽为84~104 GHz,饱和输出功率为14.6 dBm,峰值功率附加效率为9.7%.该功率放大器具有良好的大信号性能,且芯片的核心面积仅为0.115 mm².     

基于慢特征分析方法研究陆地表面气温变率的驱动力

慢特征分析（SFA）方法可以从非平稳时间序列中提取出慢变的外强迫信息。近年来,SFA方法被应用于气候变化研究领域,用于探究气候变化的潜在驱动力及相关的动力学机制。本文基于SFA方法,提取全球陆地表面气温（LSAT）的慢变外强迫信息,研究全球LSAT慢变驱动力的空间结构特征及低频变率的主要驱动因子。SFA方法提取的LSAT慢变驱动力与历史时期全球辐射强迫（GRF）和全球海表温度（SST）的主模态（大西洋多年代际振荡AMO、热带太平洋ENSO变率和太平洋年代际振荡PDO）有显著的相关关系,表明全球大部分地区LSAT的变率受到GRF和三个SST模态的显著影响。GRF对LSAT变率的影响有全球一致性的特征,而三个SST模态对LSAT变率的影响则呈现出明显的区域特点。此外,由于SFA方法可以有效降低原始LSAT序列中随机噪声的干扰,GRF和SST模态对LSAT变率的解释方差显著提高,进一步表明GRF和SST模态是全球LSAT低频变率主要的驱动因子。最后,利用历史海温驱动AGCM试验（即AMIP试验）的结果,验证了三个SST模态对区域LSAT变率的显著影响。     

基于信息流理论的因果分析在辨析大西洋多年代际振荡物理机制中的应用

大西洋多年代际振荡（AMO）是指发生在北大西洋的海表温度（SST）冷暖异常多年代际（50～80年）振荡的现象。通常AMO被认为是受大西洋经向翻转环流（AMOC）及其对应的海洋动力过程（经向热量输运）的影响。近年来有观点认为,AMO是大气随机热力强迫的产物,大气主导了海气间的热量交换进而影响AMO。弄清AMO和北大西洋海表热通量的因果关系是辨析AMO动力和热力驱动机制的关键。本文利用基于信息流理论的因果分析方法,研究了1880年以来观测的AMO与北大西洋海表热通量间的因果关系。结果表明,在多年代际尺度上,从AMO到海表热通量的信息流要远大于二者相反方向的信息流,这说明AMO是北大西洋海表热通量异常的因,海洋主导了海气间的热量交换。大气随机热力强迫机制无法解释AMO与热通量两者因果分析的结果。对泛大西洋地区的陆地气温和AMO指数进行分析,进一步表明由于海洋主导了海气热量交换,AMO的海温异常加热/冷却控制了绝大多数地区气温的多年代际变化。利用海温驱动的大气环流模式的模拟结果验证了AMO的海温异常对周边陆地气温强迫作用。本文的结果为辨析AMO的动力和热力驱动机制提供了新线索,进一步表明AMO并非是大气随机热力强迫的产物,海洋环流可能是AMO的主要驱动因子。

Triassic Scleractinian Corals in China: A Review of Present Knowledge

Scleractinian corals appeared during the Anisian period of the Triassic after the end-Permian mass extinction, which in Triassic were distinct from the Jurassic-Cretaceous scleractinian corals. The study on Triassic scleractinian coral fauna as a separate field is significant for exploring the development and evolution of modern corals and investigating environmental changes since the Mesozoic. The first Triassic coral in China was reported in 1925, and since then, nearly 25 articles dealing with taxonomy and 17 papers about fossil reports on Triassic scleractinian corals in China have been published, which refer to 60 genera and 312 species, 49 localities and 25 strata. In this paper, the history, taxonomy, localities, stratigraphic distribution, current research, and existing knowledge gaps of the Triassic scleractinian corals in China are reviewed. More specifically, the research findings of the Triassic scleractinain coral in China since 1925 are discussed; the species of the Triassic scleractian coral fossil reported in China, has been examined and its synonyms have been sorted out; the geographical distributions of the Middle and Late Triassic scleractinian corals in China are systematically treated; the Triassic coral biostratigraphy in China has been improved; and the stratigraphic ranges of existing genera and species are provided. The above conclusions are presented in the form of complete figures. At the same time, we analyzed shortcomings in current research and identified productive future research directions of the Triassic scleractinian corals in China.
