Electroplated Cu,which can be compatible with integrated circuit technology and large-scale silicon wafers,is explored as a substrate to synthesize graphene domains by ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition.Hexagonal single crystal domains of graphene are synthesized on electroplated Cu under dilute methane gas flow.Scanning electron microscopy images of graphene domains grown on electroplated Cu indicate that the domain size is time-dependent,and the domains can cross Cu grain boundaries and are distributed more uniformly on electroplated Cu surface than those grown on Cu foil.
We present a simulation on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the indoor propagation channel at 120 GHz. The simulation, applied to a dynamic scenario with randomly placed objects and moving people in a room, is based on a three-dimensional ray-tracing method. Propagation and reflection mechanisms of electromagnetic waves are discussed in the channel model. The received power in a 0.95-m-height plane is obtained. Comparison between walls and ceiling covered with dielectric mirrors and those with three common wall and ceiling materials are presented. The result shows that the holistic received power level with dielectric mirrors is about 10 dB higher than with other materials.
