The phrase "a half rate" is not correct in standard English; the correct expression is "half-rate." You can use it to describe something that is of inferior quality or not up to standard.
Example: "The service at that restaurant was half-rate; I expected much better for the price we paid."
Alternatives: "subpar" or "second-rate."
To minimize the competition effect, a half rate of oats or barley should be used.
We have also evaluated the frame error rate (FER) of a half rate a half rate punctured convolutional code with constraint length 7 and the generator [15].
The code used in the analysis is a half rate memory-1 RSC with the generator polynomials (G r,G) = (3,2 8.
The vaguely worded FLSA says that workers who put in more than 40 hours per week must be paid at a time and a half rate for the excess hours, but also that it doesn't apply to managerial employees.
Our results indicate that the Palau Basin was formed by E-W seafloor spreading, between approximately 35 to 39 Ma with a half rate of approximately 4.3 cm/year, which is slightly slower than that of the WPB.
However, the JSCC methods that have been proposed so far operate at relatively low code rate (equal or less than a half rate), and furthermore they considered the exploitation of the source correlation in only one direction, such as line-by-line scanning of image, which can be referred as one-dimensional (1D) source correlation.
A half-rate bang-bang phase detector adopts four flip-flops array to sample the 25 Gbit/s input data and align the data phase, so the 25 Gbit/s data are retimed and demultiplexed into two paths 12.5 Gbit/s output data.
Part-time OPT is counted at a half-rate.
We employ a time-division multiple access (TDMA) scheme for signal transmission, and we consider a half-rate communication with the QPSK modulation so that the bandwidth efficiency equals 1 bit/s/Hz.
The direction of the seismic lines is roughly east-west, parallel to the direction of the backarc basin spreading, with a half-rate of 2.3 4.7 cm/year in 27 20 Ma except for the last NE-SW spreading stage, which occurred at a slower rate of 2 3 cm/year in 20 15 Ma (Okino et al., 1999).
For the given system parameters, i.e., QPSK modulation and a half-rate convolutional code, it reads η = log 2 | A | · R c, conv · R c, rep · 1 - FER = R c, rep · 1 - FER, (29) Figure 10 Achieved end-to-end throughput for all strategies and different coderates R c,rep of the repetition code.
