Resumen Este experimento pretendió identificar el tipo de calificativos asociados a cinco tipos de comerciales: afecto positivo, afecto negativo, humor, informativos-no emocionales y eróticos. Para este efecto se diseñó una tarea en la cual 48 sujetos aplicaron cinco adjetivos a cada uno de veinte (20) comerciales. Se controló el orden de presentación de los comerciales utilizando cuatro secuencias aleatorias distintas y se asignó a los sujetos también aleatoriamente a cada orden de presentación. Adicionalmente se investigó el efecto del tipo de material previo a la prueba. Los resultados mostraron que los comerciales de afecto positivo e informativo en la tarea de selección de calificativos conformaron

This paper reports the results of a preliminary cross-evaluation experiment run in the framework of the European research project PF-Star, with the double aim of evaluating the possibility of exchanging FAP data between the involved sites and assessing the adequacy of the emotional facial gestures performed by talking heads. The results provide initial insights in the way people belonging to various cultures react to natural and synthetic facial expressions produced in different cultural settings, and in the potentials and limits of FAP data exchange.

We present the linearization of an ultra-wideband low noise amplifier (UWB-LNA) operating from 2GHz to 11GHz through combining two linearization methods. The used linearization techniques are the combination of post-distortion cancellation and derivative-superposition linearization methods. The linearized UWB-LNA shows an improved linearity (IIP3) of +12dBm, a minimum noise figure (NF min.) of 3.6dB, input and output insertion losses (S 11 and S 22) below-9dB over the entire working bandwidth, midband gain of 6dB at 5.8GHz, and overall circuit power consumption of 24mW supplied from a 1.5V voltage source. Both UWB-LNA and linearized UWB-LNA designs are verified and simulated with ADS2016.01 software using BSIM3v3 TSMC 180nm CMOS model files. In addition, the linearized UWB-LNA performance is compared with other recent state-of-the-art LNAs. 1. INTRODUCTION The first stage of any RF front-end receiver system is the LNA. The required power sensitivity of the LNA differs from application to another. An important design criterion the LNA is to achieve high linearity to be able to distinguish between the desired RF application signal and the interferers signals that occupy the transmission spectra. The vast majority of military, civilian, and commercial applications utilize UWB standard for its high speed and low power benefits. However, the increasing number of such applications requires the linearity of the LNA to be improved to the level at which the desired signal and the interferers can be distinguished. A literature review for previous LNA designs is presented hereafter to clarify the goal of this paper. A narrow band 5.8GHz low noise amplifier was designed and verified using ADS software for the IEEE802.16 standard. Undoubtedly, the super HEMT FET Technology consumes large power compared to CMOS technology. Therefore, we choose the CMOS technology for our proposed work. However, the authors of the narrow band 5.8GHz LNA design did not mention the total power consumption of their proposed design. In addition, the 5GHz band became increasingly busy with many applications that may interfere with each other, such as, UWB standard, WiMAX standard, and IEEE802.11a standard. Consequently, there is a rising need that the LNA linearity (IIP3) acquires high values. The IIP3 design criteria for the 5.8GHz LNA had not been considered in the aforementioned paper [1]. Another study of the common gate ultra-wideband low noise amplifier, which used the current-reuse technique, provided low power consumption, high noise figure, and very low linearity of-11.5dBm. Nevertheless, such low linearity is problematic when too many applications reserved the working band [2].
