Efficient models based on behavioural modelling techniques are needed for RF and microwave mixers in order to check the performances of communication systems. Here, we propose a model consisting on the cascade connection of an input equivalent filter, characterising the linear transmission and reflection memory effects, and an ideal nonlinear mixer model, providing the frequency translation and...

There are several compression methods for phase to amplitude converter for sine function. In this paper, the linear and parabolic approximation of equi-section division utilizing the symmetry property and amplitude approximation of a sinusoidal waveform for direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS) and also for other waveform applications, e.g. function generators and telecommunication devices...

− This article presents further testing and verification results for a previously introduced new intelligent regulation method that controls the power-electronic Buck converter utilizing a small-signal model of the pulse width modulation (PWM) switch. The implemented intelligent control method uses a fuzzy-PID controller that is tuned using the global search method of genetic algorithm (GA). Th...

This paper proposes a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system based on a DC-DC positive output super lift Luo (POSLL) converter. A conventional sliding mode control, a sliding mode controller using a simple sign function and a linear controller using proportional integrator (PI) are used for the control of the PV panel voltage and POSLL converter inductor current and these methods are compared tog...

This paper describes a new design for direct sliding mode method with a high switching frequency using the PD-PI type sliding surface applied to a negative output Luo converter worked in continuous current mode for applications required constant power source such as aerospace applications, medical equipment and etc. Because of the output power and line changes, the converter model is also nonli...

BACKGROUND The use of tacrolimus (TAC) in patients after heart transplantation (HTX) has increased over the last few years. AIM In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of a TAC (conventional and extended-release TAC)-based immunosuppressive therapy regarding rejection profile in comparison to a cyclosporine A (CSA)-based regimen in patients after HTX. METHODS The data of 233 p...

Abstrac t-We present a time-to-digital converter with a virtual time coding line created as an equivalent of two independent time coding lines operating simultaneously. Proposed solution allows to overcome the technology limitation in achievable resolution and improve the precision of conversion. The new coding line used in the interpolating time counter designed in an FPGA CMOS device provides...
