Abstract: An efficient peak cancellation method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio in wideband communication systems uses repeated clipping and frequency domain filtering to achieve a desired peak-to-average power ratio for wideband code division multiple access and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signals. The maximum magnitude of the filtered pulse is determined by a scaling factor which permits eliminating several iterations while still achieving convergence to the targeted peak-to-average power ratio, thereby reducing computational load and saving hardware resources. This results in improved performance in terms of error vector magnitude, adjacent channel leakage ratio and peak-to-average power ratio.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a planar lipid bilayer on a solid support. With this method, a solution of lipid vesicles is first deposited on the solid support. Next, the lipid vesicles are destabilized by adding an amphipathic peptide solution to the lipid vesicle solution. This destabilization leads to production of a planar lipid bilayer on the solid support. The present invention also provides a supported planar lipid bilayer, where the planar lipid bilayer is made of naturally occurring lipids and the solid support is made of unmodified gold or titanium oxide. Preferably, the supported planar lipid bilayer is continuous. The planar lipid bilayer may be made of any naturally occurring lipid or mixture of lipids, including, but not limited to phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinsitol, cardiolipin, cholesterol, and sphingomyelin.
