    The vertical Bridgman method is used for the growth of single-doped CsI(Tl) and CsI(Tl:Ca) crystals, which has been evaluated for feasible applications in X-ray imaging and radiation detection. The powder XRD technique study reveals a single-crystalline phase of the grown crystal. The emission spectra show a broad emission band with a maximum of 540 nm under X-ray excitation, along with the characteristic emissions that arose from the Tl<sup>+</sup> intra-center transition. The scintillation qualities of the grown crystal were studied via the pulse height spectra, scintillation light yield, energy resolution, and scintillation decay time. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) was investigated under γ-rays and α-particles excitation sources. Moreover, the X-ray imaging application was investigated by an X-ray synchrotron at the Synchrotron Light Research Institute to study the performance of the grown crystal. These preliminary investigations suggest that the grown CsI(Tl:Ca) crystal can be one of the promising crystals for γ- and X-ray detecting applications.

    A losing of orthogonality among subcarriers in higher time-varying fading channels causes an inter-carrier interference (ICI) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal which leads a fatal degradation both for the channel estimation accuracy and bit error rate (BER) performances. To solve this problem, this paper firstly proposes a channel estimation method with a new design of time domain training sequence (TS) of using a triangular window function which can achieve higher channel estimation accuracy with keeping lower leakage of power spectrum density (PSD) at the outside of OFDM allocated frequency bandwidth than the conventional TS signal. Secondly, this paper proposes a low-complexity frequency domain equalization (FDE) method which can achieve better BER performance than the conventional one-tap FDE method. The feature of proposed FDE method is to enable the reduction of complexity by using a Maclaurin's expansion algorithm in the inverse matrix calculation. This paper presents various computer simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed FDE method as comparing with the conventional FDE methods.
