In Large Neighborhood Search (LNS), a problem is solved by repeatedly exploring (via tree search) a neighborhood of an incumbent solution. Whenever an improving solution is found, this replaces the current incumbent. LNS can improve dramatically the scalability of CP on large real world problems, provided a good neighborhood selection heuristic is available. Unfortunately, designing a neighborh...

This report describes the development of a transimpedance amplifier that takes current as input and gives voltage as output. The amplifier consists of three CMOS amplifier stages in a fed-back configuration, achieving a transimpedance gain over 3 kΩ and a 3-dB bandwidth greater than 2.8 GHz. The amplifier operates with a 1.5 V supply voltage and a power budget of 30 mW.

The main difference in topology of a boost bridgeamplifier and state-of-the-art class-D amplifier is in theconnection of a loudspeaker between a power supply and aswitching bridge. The boost bridge amplifier provides fourtimes higher peak power at the loudspeaker than the power,which can be achieved by a class-D amplifier from the samepower supply. Total harmonic distort...

We have developed a large-aperture, flash-lamp-pumped Cr:LiSrAlF(6) (Cr:LiSAF) amplifier for use in a femtosecond chirped-pulse amplifier system. Optimum design of the 19-mm-diameter amplifier results in a single-pass gain of 5 with good beam quality. This amplifier produces 1.05-J pulses after compression, with a width of 125 fs at a repetition rate of 0.05 Hz.

In this paper, we have developed a high power solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) for Sband military radars. The SSPA consists of a high power amplifier (HPA) module combined GaN based power amplifier pallets, a drive amplifier (DA) module, a digital control module and a power supply unit. The SSPA shows the total output power of 62 dBm in S-band.

Large bit-line capacitance is one of the main bottlenecks to the performance of on-chip caches. New sense amplifier techniques need to explicitly address this challenge. This paper describes two sensing techniques to overcome this problem: a current sense amplifier (CSA) and a charge transfer sense amplifier (CTSA) and their implementation based on 90nm CMOS technology. The current sense amplif...

Analysis and simulation are presented of the mismatched load condition for a balanced class-E power amplifier, which is based on 90° hybrids at its input and output. The performances of the 200-Watt balanced class-E amplifier, such as the output power and efficiency, were analyzed and compared to the conventional single-ended class-E power amplifier for the 1:3 VSWR mismatch condition. The simu...
