Filed: 2000-08-07
Abstract: The complex, intended for carrying out the researches in the X-ray range at several analytical devices simultaneously, comprises the source (1) of the divergent X-rays, the channels of radiation transporting toward the analytical devices (5) and the apparatus of these devices for spectrometric, diffractometric and other resarches, image formation of the internal structure of the objects, X-ray lithography, etc. The radiation is transported toward the devices (5) as the quasi-parallel beams (4), formed by the X-ray "half' lenses (2), representing a package of the curved channels with the use of multiple total external reflection of the X-rays from their walls.  Each of the "half' lenses captures a part (3) of the divergent radiation of the X-ray source (1).  An X-ray tube is the preferable type of the source (1). The beams (35) of the radiation, being directed toward several analytical devices (5), can be obtained as well by means of the "half' lens (2), being common for these devices. The output beam (4) of the said "half" lens is split to several beams by means of the monochromators (33), placed on the path of the initial beam (4) at the angle to the direction of the said beam (4) propagation. The said monochromators (33) intercept the part (34) of the cross section of the initial beam. In a specific case the complex can include the "full" X-ray lens (6), focusing the source radiation on the region (22), located on the input of one of the analytical devices (8). The usage of the X-ray lenses provides for the X-rays users in the analytical devices the brightness, being not less than in the complexes, where the radiation source is a synchrotron or a synchrotron storage ring.

Abstract: Transmitter and receiver units for use in a communications system and configurable to provide antenna, frequency, or temporal diversity, or a combination thereof, for transmitted signals. The transmitter unit includes a system data processor, one or more modulators, and one or more antennas. The system data processor receives and partitions an input data stream into a number of channel data streams and further processes the channel data streams to generate one or more modulation symbol vector streams. Each modulation symbol vector stream includes a sequence of modulation symbol vectors representative of data in one or more channel data streams. Each modulator receives and modulates a respective modulation symbol vector stream to provide an RF modulated signal, and each antenna receives and transmits a respective RF modulated signal. Each modulator may include an inverse (fast) Fourier transform (IFFT) and a cyclic prefix generator. The IFFT generates time-domain representations of the modulation symbol vectors, and the cyclic prefix generator repeats a portion of the time-domain representation of each modulation symbol vector. The channel data streams are modulated using multi-carrier modulation, e.g., OFDM modulation. Time division multiplexing (TDM) may also be used to increase flexibility.
