一种宽带高效包络跟踪放大器的设计

为了高效处理宽带非恒包络信号,利用宽带包络信号功率主要集中在低频部分的特性,结合线性放大器和开关类放大器的优势,设计了一个宽带包络跟踪放大器。该放大器由一个宽带线性级和一个受线性级控制的高效开关级组成。线性级采用折叠式共源共栅放大器结构,具有AB类输出级及输出级缓冲;开关级采用同步降压型DC-DC变换器结构,包含驱动电路及“防直通”模块。整个电路采用Jazz 0.18 μm BiCMOS工艺进行设计仿真,结果表明,在3.3 V电源电压下,线性级单位增益带宽约为50 MHz,可驱动300 mA电流,具有188 V/μs的摆率,包络跟踪放大器可跟踪包络信号幅度和带宽的瞬时变化,改变开关导通比以及开关频率。     

Revising the unified hardening model by using a smoothed Hvorslev envelope

The original unified hardening (UH) model, in which a straight Hvorslev envelope was employed to determine the potential peak stress ratio of overconsolidated soils, is revised using a smoothed Hvorslev envelope (Hermite-Hvorslev envelope). The strength at the intersection between the straight Hvorslev envelope and the critical state surface (i.e. Mohr-Coulomb envelope) can be undefined due to the discontinuous change in the slope of the two linear strength envelopes mentioned above. A smoothed Hvorslev envelope is derived through Hermite interpolation to ensure a smooth change between the proposed Hvorslev envelope and the zero-tension surface as well as a smoothed transition between the proposed Hvorslev envelope and the critical state surface. The Hermite-Hvorslev envelope is then integrated into the original UH model, and then the UH models with four different functions of the Hvorslev envelope are compared with each other. The UH model revised by the Hermite-Hvorslev envelope can well predict the mechanical behaviors of normally consolidated and overconsolidated soils in drained and undrained conditions with the same parameters in the modified Cam-Clay model.

Fixed-order loop shaping robust controller design for parametric models to damp inter-area oscillations

The inter-area oscillations are common in power systems and can occur due to the changes in the load or generating power especially in long transmission lines. This paper presents the design of a robust fixed-order loop shaping controller to damp out the inter-area oscillations and to enhance the stability of the power system. The proposed loop shaping method is based on the shaping of the open-loop transfer function in the Nyquist diagram through minimizing the quadratic error between the actual and the desired open loop transfer functions in the frequency domain. The proposed method is robust with respect to multi-model uncertainty. Despite other robust controller design methods, the proposed approach deals with the entire system i.e. there is no need to reduce the system and still leads to a lower order controller. In addition, most of the robust methods are heavily dependent on selecting some weight filters which is not required in the proposed approach. This method is applied to the two-area four-machine system and 68 bus system and the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method in damping inter-area oscillations are validated using case studies.     

National Museum of Qatar

National Museum of Qatar – Super‐complex steel structures, envelope and 3D BIM. Doha, the capital of Qatar, is developing fast towards a global hub for finance, culture and tourism. The new flagship, the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), is currently being completed based on a design by Atelier Jean Nouvel, Paris. The iconic three‐dimensional geometry and the size of the project were extremely challenging for both the design and the works on site.
