We show that the recently proposed integer-forcing linear receiver provides an attractive approach to the problem of mitigating external interference in MIMO channels. The integer-forcing receiver proceeds by first decoding a set of full rank integer linea ...
Superconductors for the ITER Poloidal Field Coils are large cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) made of NbTi strands encased in a round-in-square stainless steel jacket. Three prototype conductor sections for poloidal field coils PF1/6, PF2/3/4 and PF5 have ...
Cabled conductors based on Nb3Sn technology with operating current in the range of 20 kA and above are mainly restricted to fusion magnets and high field facilities. The experience of last decade has dramatically shown that, opposite to the NbTi conductors ...
One of the design features which yet offers interesting margins for performance optimization of cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs), is their geometry. For relatively small size Nb3Sn CICCs, operating at high electromagnetic pressure, such as those for the ...
The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...
Five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations in the cable layout were fabricated of three different strands to investigate their DC performance, AC loss behaviour and transient stability by means of the SULTAN facility. A co ...
One of the biggest goals for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is the steady state operation. For this reason all its coils will be superconducting and Nb3Sn material is used for both the toroidal field (TF) and the central soleno ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial, discrete, and lightweight structures that are composed of struts in compression and pre-stressed cables. Stability is provided by the self-stress state between elements independently of external actions. Tensegrity struct ...
The operation of Nb–Ti superconducting magnets in He II relies on superfluidity to overcome the severe thermal barrier represented by the cable electrical insulation. In wrapped cable insulations, like those used for the main magnets of the Large Hadron Co ...
The ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductor qualification phase has been carried out by testing short sample prototype conductors in the SULTAN test facility. This phase, started in 2007, has been substantially completed after minor adjustment of the conductor ...
