A code-pattern-driven digital background calibration technique for SAR ADCs

The article presents the buck converter for the application on headlights of vehicle with chip-level design. The LED components are used as for lighting source, which near/far lights are controlled with high-current switching circuit in the chip. The level-shift circuit and its current driver is proposed to control the input of high-voltage power MOS. The bypass method is presented to reduce the transient time as load current changes suddenly. The input voltage widely ranges from 8 to 21 V while keeping a stable output voltage with 6 V. The chip current can output from 20 to 1500 mA with excellent regulation. This chip had been implemented with TSMC0.25 µm HV- process, and the size of the circuit layout is about 8.6 mm², where includes power switch and far/near lighting switches. Measurements show that peak efficiency can achieve 86.3%. The power regulation is excellent, where the load regulation is only 0.3%, and the line regulation is only 0.5%.

     

Diamond semiconductor and elastic strain engineering

Diamond,as an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor,has become a promising candidate for next-generation microelec-tronics and optoelectronics due to its numerous advantages over conventional semiconductors,including ultrahigh carrier mo-bility and thermal conductivity,low thermal expansion coefficient,and ultra-high breakdown voltage,etc.Despite these ex-traordinary properties,diamond also faces various challenges before being practically used in the semiconductor industry.This review begins with a brief summary of previous efforts to model and construct diamond-based high-voltage switching diodes,high-power/high-frequency field-effect transistors,MEMS/NEMS,and devices operating at high temperatures.Following that,we will discuss recent developments to address scalable diamond device applications,emphasizing the synthesis of large-area,high-quality CVD diamond films and difficulties in diamond doping.Lastly,we show potential solutions to modulate diamond’s electronic properties by the“elastic strain engineering”strategy,which sheds light on the future development of diamond-based electronics,photonics and quantum systems.     

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer with fixed and adaptive modulation

Activating Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) in Radio-Frequency (RF) to provide on-demand energy supply to widely deployed Internet of Everything devices is a key to the next-generation energy self-sustainable 6G network. However, Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) in the same RF bands is challenging. The majority of previous studies compared SWIPT performance to Gaussian signaling with an infinite alphabet, which is impossible to implement in any realistic communication system. In contrast, we study the SWIPT system in a well-known Nakagami-m wireless fading channel using practical modulation techniques with finite alphabet. The attainable rate-energy-reliability tradeoff and the corresponding rationale are revealed for fixed modulation schemes. Furthermore, an adaptive modulation-based transceiver is provided for further expanding the attainable rate-energy-reliability region based on various SWIPT performances of different modulation schemes. The modulation switching thresholds and transmit power allocation at the SWIPT transmitter and the power splitting ratios at the SWIPT receiver are jointly optimized to maximize the attainable spectrum efficiency of wireless information transfer while satisfying the WPT requirement and the instantaneous and average BER constraints. Numerical results demonstrate the SWIPT performance of various fixed modulation schemes in different fading conditions. The advantage of the adaptive modulation-based SWIPT transceiver is validated.     

Design of a 2-DOF-PID controller using an improved sine–cosine algorithm for load frequency control of a three-area system with nonlinearities

This paper proposes an improved sine–cosine algorithm (ISCA) based 2-DOF-PID controller for load frequency control. A three-area test system is built for study, while some physical constraints (nonlinearities) are considered for the investigation of a realistic power system. The proposed method is used as the parameter optimizer of the LFC controller in different scenarios. The 2-DOF-PID controllers are used because of their capability of fast disturbance rejection without significant increase of overshoot in set-point tracking. The 2-DOF-PID controllers’ efficacy is observed by examining the responses with the outcomes obtained with PID and FOPID controllers. The simulation results with the suggested scheme are correlated with some of the existing algorithms, such as SCA, SSA, ALO, and PSO in three different scenarios, i.e., a disturbance in two areas, in three areas, and in the presence of physical constraints. In addition, the study is extended to a four-area power system. Statistical analysis is performed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test (WSRT) on 20 independent runs. This confirms the supremacy of the proposed method.

基于深度森林的多级特征融合SAR目标识别

大多数传统的合成孔径雷达(SAR)目标识别方法仅仅使用了单一的幅度特征,但是由于斑点噪声的存在,仅仅使用幅度特征会限制识别的性能.为了进一步提高SAR目标识别的性能,该文提出了一个基于深度森林的多级特征融合SAR目标识别方法.首先,在特征提取阶段,提取了多级幅度特征和多级密集尺度不变特征变换(Dense-SIFT)特征.幅度特征反映了目标反射强度,Dense-SIFT特征描述了目标的结构特征.而多级特征可以从局部到全局表征目标.随后,为了更完整、充分地反映SAR目标信息,借鉴深度森林的思想对多级幅度特征和多级Dense-SIFT特征进行联合利用.一方面通过堆叠的方式不断将多级幅度特征和多级Dense-SIFT特征进行融合,另一方面通过逐层的特征变换挖掘深层信息.最后利用得到的深层融合特征对目标进行识别任务.该文在MSTAR数据集上进行对比实验,实验结果表明所提算法在性能方面取得了提升,且其性能对超参数设置具有一定的鲁棒性.
