Prediction of Dynamic Stability Using Mapped Chebyshev Pseudospectral Method by Jae-Young Choi, Dong Kyun Im, Jangho Park, Seongim Choi

“…As the classical Chebyshev spectral approach can lead to numerical instabilities due to ill conditioning of the spectral matrix, the Chebyshev points are evenly redistributed over the domain by an inverse sine mapping function. The mapped Chebyshev pseudospectral method can be used as an alternative time-spectral approach that uses a Chebyshev collocation operator to approximate the time derivative terms in the unsteady flow governing equations, and the method can make general applications to both nonperiodic and periodic problems. …”

An Empirical Model of Ionospheric Total Electron Content Based on Tide‐Like Signature Modeling by Haibing Ruan, Jiuhou Lei, Jianyong Lu, Fen Tang

“…The tide‐like components, including the migrating and non‐migrating ones, are first derived from the daily CODE TEC data. Then, the sine and cosine components of a tide‐like signature are separately decomposed into the basic modes as a function of the modified inclination latitude with the principle component analysis, and the temporal evolution is regressed to the solar radiation dependence and interannual variation. …”

Measurement and modeling of indoor off-body channel in the 9.5～10.5 GHz band by Shanhu HUANG, Jun SUN, Haofei CHANG, Wenjun LV, Qin YANG

“…In order to explore the wireless propagation characteristics of high-frequency indoor off-body channel, off-body channel measurements were carried out on multiple typical indoor scenes in the 9.5～10.5 GHz frequency band.In terms of large-scale fading, through studying the path loss, it is found that the human body occlusion factor has a sine function relationship with the rotation angle, and a negative exponential relationship with the distance between the receiver and transmitter.Therefore, a new type of off-body channel loss model related to distance and angle was established, and the accuracy and applicability of the new model was proved based on the shadow fading.In terms of small-scale fading, by analyzing the linear correlation between path loss and root mean square (RMS) delay spread, a new type of RMS delay spreading model related to distance and angle was obtained.It proves that the greater the distance between the antenna at the transceiver end and the occlusion factor caused by the rotation of the human body, the more severe the path loss and multipath fading.The new channel model can be used to design the off-body link of the internet of things environment body area network (BAN), providing a theoretical and practical basis for the future design of indoor wireless communication systems.…”
