Based on the requirement of squeezed state generation, we build the phase relationship between two electronic local oscillators for the cavity- and phase-locking branches, and a 2-way 90° power splitter is adopted to satisfy the phase relationship simultaneously, which greatly simplifies the experimental setup and adjusting process. A LC parallel resonant circuit, which is composed by the inher...

This paper proposes a new converter topology that interfaces four ports: two sources, one bi-directional storage port and one isolated load port. In order to improve the efficiency of energy conversion, a sot switching boost converter using a simple auxiliary resonant circuit(SARC) which is composed of an auxiliary switch, a diode, a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor is adopted. The co...

Controlling chaos signal patterns at 12GHz was demonstrated on the resonant tunneling chaos generator circuit. This was made possible by implementing the reset switch, which resets the circuit to various initial conditions periodically. The reset period was set so short that the initial condition errors can not grow significantly. Thus the circuit repeated identical signal patterns, and they ca...

We present a novel multiple-threshold circuit using resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs). The logic operation is based on detecting a switching sequence in the RTD circuit. This scheme enables us to increase the number of threshold voltages by more than a factor of two compared with previous RTD-based MVL circuits. SPICE simulation shows that the circuit can operate at a clock frequency as high as ...

The first adaptive feedback circuit capable of detecting resonant frequencies for a wide range of MEMS resonators is presented. The feedback system presented implements a hill-climbing algorithm that sweeps actuation frequencies, locking onto the resonance condition at maximum cantilever amplitude response without limitations on the frequency range. To demonstrate its adaptability, a circuit im...

Understanding the behaviour of mechanical systems can be facilitated and improved by employing electro-mechanical analogies. These analogies enable the use of network analysis tools as well as purely analytical treatment of the mechanical system translated into an electric circuit. Recently, we developed a novel kind of sensor set-up based on two coupled cantilever beams with matched resonance ...

We consider oscillators consisting of a reactance circuit and a negative resistor. They may happen to have multi-mode oscillations around the anti-resonant frequencies of the reactance circuit. This kind of oscillators can be easily synthesized by setting the resonant and antiresonant frequencies of the reactance circuits. However, it is not easy to analyze the oscillation phenomena, because th...
