The aim of this paper is to design a nonlinear model predictive control for DC-DC buck converters to track constant reference signals with zero steady-state error. The online trained neural network (NN) model is employed as the predictor and the steady-state error, which is called the offset, is studied in the presence of the changes in system parameters and the external disturbances. The stabi...

In this paper, a novel and simple control strategy, based on state feedback method is suggested to control the power injection system (PIS). The considered PIS is composed of, a DC voltage source, a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a L-C-L filter. The DC source includes the battery source with boosted voltage. The battery can be charged with photovoltaic cells. Since, the grid voltage acts as ...

Gold and platinum nanowires have been grown on a silicon dioxide surface between two microfabricated electrodes from an electrolysis process under an AC signal with a DC offset. In the process, the anode electrode acted as a sacrificing layer and oxidized to metal ions. The metal ions were reduced to particles and aligned along the electric field forming nanowires connected with the cathode. Gr...

This paper presents a dc-coupled 900-MHz ISM band RF front-end for a short-range wireless receiver. The front-end, fabricated in a 0.5m CMOS process, is intended as a test vehicle to verify the proposed dc-coupled topology. In this topology, a lowfrequency feedback circuit suppresses the dc offset and low-frequency noise at the mixer output. The dc-coupled topology is compared with traditional ...

This paper provides electronic implementation of electrocardiograph (ECG) circuit by using instrumentation amplifier (IA) as bio-potential amplifier in such a manner which reduces noise, common voltage, DC offset value and RF interference from the existing circuit.Noise and common voltage can be removed from ECG using driven right leg circuit or by using isolator circuit. DC offset can be remov...

This paper reports on a fully-integrated CMOS switchable directconversion receiver for 2GHz and 5GHz. Switchable low noise amplifier is proposed for suiting for multiband (2GHz, 5GHz). Sub-harmonic mixing is used for down-conversion to minimize the DC-offset due to LO-leakage. The residual DC-offset is cancelled by a digital-to-analog converter at the output of mixer. For quadrature down-conver...

Alternating dc bias enables eliminating offset in orthogonal fluxgates operated in fundamental mode. However, the alternating dc bias reversals increase the fluxgate magnetic noise. It is shown in this work that the excess magnetic noise is related to the dynamics of the magnetic domains in the fluxgate core. The alternating dc bias reverses the fluxgate core magnetization causing nucleating do...
