Thermal management of power electronics modules packaged by a stacked-plate technique

The research presented in this paper is part of a multidisciplinary research program of the Center for Power Electronics Systems at Virginia Tech. The program supported by the Office of Naval Research focuses on the development of innovative technologies for packaging power electronics building blocks. The primary objective of this research is to improve package performance and reliability through thermal management, i.e., reducing device temperatures for a given power level. The task of thermal management involves considering trade-offs in the electrical design, package layout and geometry, materials selection and processing, manufacturing feasibility, and production cost. Based on the electrical design of a simple building block, samples of packaged modules, rated at 600 V and 3.3 kW, were fabricated using a stacked-plate technique, termed metal posts interconnected parallel plate structure (MPIPPS). The MPIPPS technique allows the power devices to be interconnected between two direct-bond copper substrates via the use of metal posts. Thermal modeling results on the MPIPPS packaged modules indicate that the new packaging technique offers a superior thermal management means for packaging power electronics modules.     

BER analysis of MPSK space-time code with differential detection over correlated block-fading Rayleigh channel

MIMO technology proposed in recent years can effectively combat the multipath fading of wireless channel and can considerably enlarge the channel capacity, which has been investigated widely by researchers. However, its performance analysis over correlated block-fading Rayleigh channel is still an open and challenging objective. In this article, an analytic expression of bit error rate （BER） is presented for multiple phase shift keying （MPSK） space-time code, with differential detection over correlated block-fading Rayleigh channel. Through theoretical analysis of BER, it can be found that the differential space-time scheme without the need for channel state information （CSI） at receiver achieves distinct performance gain compared with the traditional nonspace-time system. And then, the system simulation is complimented to verify the above result, showing that the diversity system based on the differential space-time block coding （DSTBC） outperforms the traditional nonspacetime system with diversity gain in terms of BER. Furthermore, the numerical results also demonstrate that the error floor of the differential space-time system is much lower than that of the differential nonspace-time system.

Adaptive Transmit Diversity with Quadrant Phase Constraining Feedback

An adaptive transmit diversity scheme with quadrant phase constraining feedback is proposed in this paper. With simple linear operations at both transmitter and receiver, the proposed algorithm can achieve better system performances with only 2M−2 bits of feedback information for systems with M transmit antennas. Theoretical performance bounds of the proposed transmit diversity scheme are derived. Simulation examples and theoretical analyses show that the proposed transmit diversity scheme outperforms not only the conventional open-loop transmit diversity techniques, but also some closed-loop transmit diversity techniques with more information transmitted in the feedback channel.
