Fuel Cell/DC-DC Convertor Control by Sliding Mode Method

Fuel cell's system requires regulating circuit for voltage and current in order to control power in case of connecting to other generative devices or load. In this paper Fuel cell system and convertor, which is a multi-variable system, are controlled using sliding mode method. Use of weighting matrix in design procedure made it possible to regulate speed of control. Simulation results show the ...

A Capacitive Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna with Air Gap for Wideband Applications (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...

A New Compact Ultra-wideband Linear Antenna Array for Target Detection Applications

This paper presents a low-cost compact planar microstrip-fed monopole antenna and its four-element array design for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication and target detection applications, respectively, operating in the frequency span of 3 GHz to 11 GHz. A prototype was fabricated and then measured based on optimal parameters. The results of reflection coefficient (S11) and radiation patt...

Wideband Stereo Speech Coding for Teleconferencing Applications

Almost a ll voice communications are based on monophonic narrowband speech. Wideband stereophonic communications provide a more natural sounding environment. This holds especially true for teleconferencing applications, where the localization information in the stereo signal adds a new dimension to the communication. As of today, there is no standardized speech codec with full stereo support. S...
