A method for minimizing harmonic distortion and/or intermodulation distortion of a radiofrequency signal propagating in a radiofrequency circuit formed on a semiconductor substrate coated with an electrically insulating layer, wherein a curve representing the distortion as a function of a power of the input or output signal exhibits a trough around a given power (P.sub.Dip), the method comprises applying, between the radiofrequency circuit and the semiconductor substrate, an electrical potential difference (V.sub.GB) chosen so as to move the trough toward a given operating power of the radiofrequency circuit.

Disclosed are a mobile terminal, a base station and a non-transitory computer-readable medium to securely receive a signal. When the mobile terminal sends information, randomly implementing an XNOR calculation is randomly implemented on corresponding digits of a low-frequency digital sequence which is to transmit the information and a first cyclic PN sequence or a second cyclic PN sequence so as to obtain spread sequences. The spread sequences are modulated and sent. The base station or the mobile terminal receives the spread sequence, and despreads the same using the first and second cyclic PN sequences. The present invention effectively prevents lawbreakers from decoding and monitoring a communication process.

According to one embodiment, a wireless base station includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter transmits a control signal and one or more operation signals to the second wireless communication terminal. The control signal instructs to transmit a signal that requests terminal-to-terminal communication between a first wireless communication terminal and the second wireless communication terminal. The operation signals are used for operating at least a part of the first wireless communication terminal. The receiver is capable of receiving at least one of a response signal or a data signal transmitted from the first wireless communication terminal to the second wireless communication terminal after the operation signals are transmitted.

Systems and methods for terahertz modulation in a terahertz frequency band from about 0.1 terahertz to about 10 terahertz propagating in a wellbore intersecting a subterranean earth formation. A transmitter generates the EM radiation in the terahertz frequency band. A modulator located in the wellbore receives the EM radiation and generates an amplitude modulated signal with the EM radiation.

An optical phase modulator includes an input source that is configured to receive a light source. There is an output operative to provide a phase modulated output signal based on the received light source. There is a first optical coupler configured to split the light source into a first optical path of a Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and a second optical path of the MZI. A static phase shifter is configured to provide a static phase shift to the first optical path. There is a phase modulator in the second optical path. There is a second optical coupler configured to combine the first optical path and the second optical path. The first and second optical couplers are tuned such that the phase modulated optical signal at the output provides a substantially constant amplitude that is independent of a change in loss introduced by the phase modulator.
