CP-DSSS: An OFDM Compatible Variable Rate Modulation for 5G and Beyond

Cyclic prefix direct sequence spread spectrum (CPDSSS) is a recently proposed waveform that has been designed for coexistence with OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in the same or a pair of parallel networks. The first contribution of this paper is to present equations that reveal similarities and differences of CP-DSSS and OFDM. Furthermore, we show that the channel model of CP-DSSS reduces to that of a cyclic prefixed block-wise single carrier modulation (CP-SCM). However, unlike CP-SCM whose symbol rate is always equal to the transmission bandwidth, CP-DSSS can be adopted to any symbol rate equal to or smaller than the transmission bandwidth. This reduction in symbol rate allows CP-DSSS power spectral density to drop to an arbitrarily low level, hence, facilitates it coexistence as a secondary waveform in a network of primary users. The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of CP-DSSS is also explored and a method for reducing it is proposed.

Compatibility Of Steels At 450°-650°C In Supercritical CO2 With O2 And H2O Additions

Direct-fired supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycles are being commercialized to revolutionize fossil energy as a low-emission power source. However, the cycle will increase O2 and H2O in the sCO2 and the implications of these additions have not been fully studied, particularly for lower cost steels that are needed in the lower temperature segments of the plant. Representative 9 and 12%Cr ferritic-martensitic (FM) steels and conventional and advanced austenitic steels were evaluated at 450-650°C to determine the maximum use temperatures in sCO2 with 1%O2 and 0.1%H2O at 300 bar. Compared to research grade (low impurity) sCO2 in indirect-fired cycles, the mass gains and scale thickness were not significantly changed for FM steels: both formed thick duplex Fe-rich scales. For stainless steels, higher mass gains were observed in all cases with increased Fe-rich oxide nodule formation. After 1000h at 650°C, the measured bulk C content was high for all of the steels with the addition of impurities suggesting a lower maximum operating temperature for steels. The post-exposure impact of the environment on room temperature tensile properties also will be discussed.
