摘要：为了提高通信系统的工作效率,提出一种基于F类理论的π型谐波控制网络。该网络利用直流偏置电路引入二次谐波短路点,从而降低谐波控制电路的复杂度;同时,能够确保二次、三次谐波阻抗不受后续基波匹配电路的影响。为避免寄生参数对晶体管芯漏极阻抗的影响,在π型谐波控制网络与晶体管之间引入L型寄生补偿电路,实现二次谐波阻抗趋近零、三次谐波阻抗趋近无穷大。为验证所设计网络的可行性,设计一款高效率F类功率放大器并进行仿真测试,结果表明在1.8~2.1 GHz工作频带内,饱和输出功率为43.21~44.84 dBm,增益为13.21~14.84 dB,功率附加效率为69.59%~73.54%。由此证明了所提出的π型谐波控制网络在高效率放大器设计中能够很好地满足各项性能指标。

摘要：Real-time monitoring of the Bragg peak location of carbon ions is urgently required for the quality control of hadron therapy. In this study, we design an annular detector to monitor the Bragg peak location of carbon ions with Geant4 simulation. This 360° surrounding structure has a high detection efficiency for the small-dose situation. The detector consists of a multilayered collimator system and an Na I scintillator for prompt gamma counting. The multilayered collimator includes a lead layer to prevent unwanted gammas and the paraffin and boron carbide layers to moderate and capture fast neutrons. An inclination of the detector further diminishes the background signal caused by neutrons. The detector, with optimized parameters, is applicable to carbon ions of different energies. In addition, the scintillator is replaced by an improved EJ301 organic liquid scintillator to discriminate gammas and neutrons. Inserting thin Fe slices into the liquid scintillator improves the energy deposition efficiency. The Bragg peak location of 200 Me V/u carbon ions can be monitored by prompt gamma detection with the improved liquid scintillator.
