New methods, for the design of different block diagrams of PLL, using the asymptotic analysis of high-frequency periodic oscillations, are suggested. The PLL description on three levels is made: 1) on the level of electronic realizations; 2) on the level of phase and frequency relations between inputs and outputs in block diagrams; 3) on the level of differential and integro-differential equati...

This paper proposes a reflection-type wideband 360 ° analogue phase shifter. The phase shifter employs a branchline coupler circuit to achieve a wideband operation and a varactor-diode circuit to achieve a wide phase-shift range. Analytical formulas are derived to optimize the parameters in the coupler circuit for wideband operation and reduced attenuation ripple, and in the varactor circuit to...

This paper presents a technique for designing an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Filter with Linear Phase Response. The design of IIR filter is always a challenging task due to the reason that a Linear Phase Response is not realizable in this kind. The conventional techniques involve larg` e number of samples and higher order filter for better approximation resulting in complex hardware for imp...

A new multi-objective topology optimization method is proposed in this study for systematic design of multi-phase piezoelectric actuators. The actuator under consideration is composed of a compliant host structure equipped with piezoelectric elements, where the host structure serves as a compliant amplifier to enlarge the small stroke output generated by the actuation force of piezoelectric mat...

in this paper a double-shaft turbofan engine is considered to be in the design phase. therefore its environmental condition and critical source of failures has been studied and the subsystems and components has been identified. since it is in design phase, the project encounters to the lack of specified failure data. to overcome this problem, the generic data or expert judgments on the basis of...

The effective cost management during the conceptual design phase of a product is essential to develop a product with minimum cost and desired quality. The integration of the methodologies of quality function deployment (QFD), value engineering (VE) and target costing (TC) could be applied to the continuous improvement of any product during product development. To optimize customer satisfaction ...

urban design problems have become so complex that no single designer is able to consider all aspects of a design area simultaneously. lately the application of computerized and scientific methods have helped designers analyze complex problems. one of these new methods is space syntax. the purpose of this study is to first investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this method and then suggest ...

In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...
