A bidirectional converter (BDC) is required in areas where generated energy is stored. Some of the application areas are uninterruptible power system, transportation,, flywheel energy storage systems, etc. Bidirectional flow of power using buck mode and boost mode along with efficiency and high power density is important need of such systems. This report proposes a new topology of BDC with the ...

In this paper, an antenna-mode-switch technique is proposed to reduce the array size for the DOA (direction-of-arrival) estimation. Conventional DOA estimation requires many elements of antenna array to achieve high resolution, and then suffers from large array size. To improve such disadvantages, this paper proposes an antenna-mode-switch technique to reduce the required number of array elemen...

This work addresses the enormous efficiency and linearity potential of optimized AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMT) in conventional Doherty linear base-station amplifiers at 2.7 GHz. Supported by physical device simulation, the work further elaborates on the use of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs in high-speed current-switch-mode classD (CMCD)/class-S MMICs for data rates of up to 8 Gbit/s equ...

Averaged switch approach is extended to the modeling of boundary conduction mode (BCM) dc-to-dc converters that operate at the boundary between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). BCM dc-to-dc converters have smaller inductor size and reduced switching losses compared to CCM, and lower peak current compared to DCM. The large-signal BCM averaged switch model...

The life history of medflies is characterized by two physiological modes with different demographic schedules of fertility and survival: a waiting mode in which both mortality and reproduction are low and a reproductive mode in which mortality is very low at the onset of egg laying but accelerates as eggs are laid. Medflies stay in waiting mode when they are fed only sugar. When fed protein, a ...

A method for programming current in dc/dc converters operating in discontinuous conduction mode is described in this paper. The control variable is the product of the square of the duty cyle and the switching period (D T ), which is directly proportional to input and output currents of a discontinuous-mode converter. A method of controllingD T is applied to converters that utilize one switch (o...

Introduction Automatic human emotion recognition is one of the most interesting topics in the field of affective computing. However, development of a reliable approach with a reasonable recognition rate is a challenging task. The main objective of the present study was to propose a robust method for discrimination of emotional responses thorough examination of heart rate variability (HRV). In t...

conclusion despite multiple exposures, ed control is more effective if wss is performed using apmdr in the aec mode. results using apmdr, the mean number of exposures was 6.1 for ap and 6.5 for lat projections. lat projections required more exposures (6.55%) than ap projections. the mean ed was 0.6276 msv (ap) and 0.6716 msv (lat). the mean ed for lat projections was 0.6061 msv in automatic exp...

We demonstrate a 1×2 wavelength-division multiplexing switch for few-mode fiber based on a spatial light modulator. We measure its crosstalk, frequency roll-off, mode dependence and other transmission characteristics. Introduction In response to saturating capacity achievable in single-mode fiber, space-division multiplexing (SDM) has become an established research area. Parallelization and com...

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) enables backup generators, DC to AC inverters, redundant UPS or other AC power sources to be used for a single load. An ATS is recommended when no downtime from a power outage can be tolerated. Traditionally, an ATS used a hardware zero cross detector coupled with a microcontroller to achieve synchronization between power sources. While this approach works whe...
