New sinusoidal oscillator configurations using operational transresistance amplifier

The objective of this brief is to introduce four new structures of electronically tunable sinusoidal oscillators (SOs) designed using operational transresistance amplifier (OTRA). Each of the proposed SO consists of forward path derived from a generic structure along with one/two OTRA-based resistive gain stages or differentiator in its feedback path. All the proposed SOs enjoy independent tuning of the frequency of oscillation (FO) through resistors without affecting the condition of oscillation (CO). Further, all topologies are found to exhibit low f_o sensitivities at all frequencies with respect to circuit parameters, and the second topology is capable of achieving very low frequencies (VLFs) using less RC component spread and provides linear tuning too. The fourth circuit provides quadrature output. The proposed SOs have been successfully implemented and verified in 180-nm CMOS technology node using ADE (analog design environment) tool Cadence Virtuoso. Both prelayout and postlayout simulation results have been included. To assess the oscillator prefabrication performances, Monte Carlo and process-voltage-temperature (PVT) analyses have been performed. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is observed to be less than 3.5%.     

Microbubble generator excited by fluidic oscillator's third harmonic frequency

Efficient generation of sub-millimetre microbubbles was recently made possible by pulsating the flow of gas supplied into a parallel-exits aerator, using a fluidic oscillator for the purpose. Without moving parts, it can generate oscillation at high frequency, an important factor due to bubble natural frequency rapidly increasing with the desirable decrease of their size. This paper discusses development of an unusual oscillator – a part of an integral oscillator/aerator unit – capable of generating a particularly high driving frequency, in the kilohertz range, in a layout that promotes a strong third harmonic frequency of the basic oscillation.

A 5-GHz LC VCO with digital AAC and AFBS for 2.4 GHz ZigBee transceiver applications

A 5 GHz LC VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) with automatic amplitude control (AAC) and automatic frequency-band selection (AFBS) for 2.4 GHz ZigBee transceivers is presented. Instead of continuous feedback loop, an alternative amplitude calibration scheme is proposed in this paper to alleviate the deficiencies inherent in the conventional approach. It helps to keep the VCO at optimum amplitude to avoid saturation of the cross-coupled transistors and therefore stabilizes the phase noise performance over process, voltage and temperature variations. For the ZigBee application with 16 frequency channels, a coarse tuning loop is added in this work to implement the frequency-band selection using the AFBS mechanism. The VCO core and the digital AAC, AFBS modules have been fully integrated in a 2.4 GHz ZigBee transceiver which was fabricated in a 0.18 μm RF-CMOS technology. The current consumption is 4.7 mA at 4.85 GHz with 1.8 V power supply and a chip area of about 0.285 mm² is occupied. The VCO is capable of operating from 4.67 GHz to 5.18 GHz and the measured phase-noise level is –120 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from a 4.85 GHz carrier. The tuning sensitivity K_VCO of the VCO is about 78 MHz/V with 0.9 V control voltage.

混沌振子识别轴承早期故障的极半径不变矩判据

现有的基于混沌振子检测轴承故障的方法的关键步骤是混沌振子相态转变判别,目前大多采用李雅普诺夫指数等特征值进行判断,针对其计算过程复杂,耗费时间长的缺点,基于图像识别技术,提出了一种以极半径不变矩参数作为相态转变的识别方法。通过构造Duffing混沌振子,分析了其相态转变与周期策动力的变化关系,证明其用于轴承早期故障识别的可行性;给出了极半径不变矩的定义,并证明在混沌振子相图由混沌运动态向大尺度周期态转变的过程中,随着周期摄动力不断增加,极半径不变矩表现出单调递增的特性;与HU氏不变矩及二维近似熵判别方法进行对比,讨论了极半径不变矩的抗噪声干扰能力;最终,将该方法用于实际搭建的钻机动力头轴承早期故障诊断的试验中。试验结果表明:极半径不变矩可以识别混沌振子相态过程转变,最低检测信噪比达到-36.99dB,且识别准确率也较另外两种方法提高了4%~7%。证明该方法可以用于轴承早期故障识别,具有识别准确率高,抗噪声干扰能力强,计算简便的优点。
