中文题目：考虑共面波导电容的AlGaN/GaN HEMTs小信号建模研究

Given the coplanar waveguide(CPW) effect on AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors at a high frequency, the traditional equivalent circuit model cannot accurately describe the electrical characteristics of the device. The admittance of CPW capacitances is large when the frequency is higher than 40 GHz; its impact on the device cannot be ignored. In this study, a small-signal equivalent circuit model considering CPW capacitance is provided. To verify the model, S-parameters are obtained from the modeling and measurements. A good agreement is observed between the simulation and measurement results, indicating the reliability of the model.

Compact left-handed coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter loaded split ring resonator (SRR) is presented in this paper. The proposed filter exhibits a quasi-elliptic function response and its circuit size occupies only 12 × 11.8 mm² (≈0.21 λg × 0.20 λg). Also, a simple circuit model is given and the parametric study of this filter is discussed. Then, with the aid of NeuroModeler software, a five-layer feed-forward perceptron neural networks model is built up to optimize the proposed filter design fast and accurately. Finally, this newly left-handed CPW bandpass filter was fabricated and measured. A good agreement between simulations and measurement verifies the proposed left-handed filter and the validity of design methodology.     

Statistical analysis on ambient RF energy harvesting for low‐power wireless applications

Renewable energy sources from the earth constitute another option apart from the available ones for wellspring of energy for economizing on cost of power supply. The energy obtained from ambient sources is called energy harvesting. Energy‐harvesting low‐power systems have acquired a remarkable consideration as a viable hotspot for expanding both energy efficiency and spectral efficiency. Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting from ambient source is a promising technique for fulfilling the irreplaceable power prerequisites for powering the low‐power devices. Hence, it requires the development of an antenna for harvesting RF energy. In this paper, a coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna has been designed and fabricated using FR4 lossy substrate. This CPW antenna covers frequency bands from the most important RF patrons (GSM 900, GSM 1800, 3G, and Wi‐Fi) within the frequency range from (0.58 to 3 GHz) with a percentage fractional bandwidth of 116% with the center frequency of 1.65 GHz. The fabricated antenna then has been experimentally validated at SSN College of Engineering campus. The effects on the RF power density level for CPW antenna are examined by statistical approach known as Taguchi method. The L9 and L8 orthogonal arrays and analysis of variance are implemented to analyze the execution qualities. The CPW antenna control factors are distance, time, and number of receivers. Then, statistical test (P) are used to determine the significant factors on RF power density.

Artificial neural network‐based photovoltaic module temperature estimation for tropical climate of Malaysia and its impact on photovoltaic system energy yield

This article presents an artificial neural network (ANN)‐based approach for predicting photovoltaic (PV) module temperature using meteorological variables. The proposed approach utilizes actual hourly records of various meteorological parameters, such as ambient temperature T_a, solar irradiation G, relative humidity RH, and wind speed Ws as input variables. The hourly meteorological data were collected over 9 months in the year 2009 from a 92‐kWp installed PV system in Selangor, Malaysia. The data were divided into two sets: training data, which are a set of 1849 (April–October) hourly data, and 578 (November–December) hourly records of working as test data. Four ANN models have been developed by using different combination of meteorological parameters as inputs, and, for each model, the output is the PV module temperature T_m. It was found that the model using all parameters, including RH and Ws as inputs, gave the most accurate results with correlation coefficient (r) 95.9%, and 0.41, 0.1, and 4.5% for MBE, RMSE, and MPE, respectively. To show the superiority and applicability of the developed ANN model, results from the proposed ANN model have been compared with the conventional model adopted by Malaysia Energy Center and another mathematical model based on regression. With the model's simplicity, the proposed approach can be used as an effective tool for predicting the PV module temperature, for any type of PV systems, in remote or rural locations with no direct measurement equipments. The developed model also will be very useful in studying PV system performance and estimating its energy output. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Compact coplanar waveguide fed ultra wideband antenna with a notch band characteristic

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a notch band characteristic is presented for 2.4 GHz and UWB applications. The bandwidth is broadened by embedding two inverted L-shaped slots in the CPW ground and the notch band is achieved by etching a rectangle slot in the CPW ground. The notched band can be controlled by adjusting the length of the rectangle slot and the two inverted L-shaped slots. Experimental and numerical results show that the proposed antenna with compact size of 28 × 21 mm², has an impedance bandwidth range from 2.38 GHz to 12.0 GHz for voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2, expect the notch band frequency 5.0–6.0 GHz for HIPERLAN/2, IEEE 802.11a (5.1–5.9 GHz) and C-band (4.4–5 GHz) for satellite and military applications.     

A New Type of Miniature Ultra-Wideband Band-Pass Filter with Coplanar Waveguide Fed

A novel miniature ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed is proposed. The size of the filter is reduced largely because of combining the wideband couple gap and parallel-coupled CPW line (not cascading multiple resonator), and the length of realized filter is only 0.42 λ _g0 (λ _g0 is the guiding wavelength at central frequency). The measured insertion loss is less than 2.0 dB, and the group delay variation is less than 0.2 ns within the UWB passband. Basic agreement between the simulated and measured results has been achieved.     

Right‐Angle‐Bent CPW for the Application of the Driver‐Amplifier‐Integrated 40 Gbps TW‐EML Module

In this letter we present a right‐angle‐bent coplanar waveguide (CPW) which we developed for the application of the driver amplifier‐integrated (DAI) 40 Gbps traveling wave electroabsorption modulated laser module. The developed CPW realized parallel progression of the radio frequency (RF) and light using a dielectric overlay structure and wedge bonding on the bending section. The measured S₁₁ and S₂₁ of the developed CPW were kept below ?10 dB up to 35 GHz and ?3 dB up to 43 GHz, respectively. These measured results of the CPW were in good agreement with the simulation results and demonstrated the applicability of the CPW to the 40 Gbps communication module.     

Broadband electronically tunable planar active radiating elementsand spatial power combiners using notch antennas

A Gunn device has been integrated with two types of active planar notch antennas. The first types uses a coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator an a stepped-notched antenna with bias tuning to achieve a bandwidth of 275 MHz centered at 9.33 GHz with a power output of 14.2±1.5 dBm. The second type uses a CPW resonator with a varactor for frequency tuning to achieve a bandwidth of over 1.3 GHz centered at 9.6 GHz with a power output of 14.5±0.8 dBm. This is equivalent to over 14% electronic tuning bandwidth. Both configurations exhibit a very clean and stable output signal. A theoretical circuit model was developed to facilitate the design. The model agrees well with experimental results. Injection-locking experiments on the second configuration show a locking gain of 30 dB with a locking bandwidth of 30 MHz at 10.2 GHz. Power combining experiments of two-varactor-tuned CPW active notch antenna elements in a broadside configuration have achieved well over 70% combining efficiency throughout the wide tuning range. The circuits have advantages of small size, low cost, and excellent performance
