The effects of generation redispatch on Hopf bifurcations in electric power systems Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1180-1186 - 2002
A.I. Zecevic, D.M. Miljkovic
In this paper, we examine how varying the generation redispatch can improve the
system stability margins with respect to Hopf bifurcations, as well as
robustness to uncertainties in load modeling and distribution. It is seen that
an optimal selection of load following units plays a key role in accomplishing
these objectives. An optimal redispatch strategy is proposed, and is verified
through a var... hiện toàn bộ

Modeling the thermal response of semiconductor devices through equivalent electrical networks Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1187-1197 - 2002
L. Codecasa, D. D'Amore, P. Maffezzoni
The paper presents a general approach for modeling the effects of thermal
response in semiconductor devices as they are seen at the electrical terminals.
It is shown that this can be achieved by properly connecting at the electrical
ports an equivalent electrical network representing the transformed thermal
impedance. The equivalent model is employed to investigate electrothermal
interactions in M... hiện toàn bộ

A high-input-impedance buffer Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1209-1211 - 2002
S. Lanyi, M. Pisani
The input impedance of high-input-impedance buffers with a bootstrapped biasing
circuit and supply rails may attain values much larger then it would correspond
to the open-loop gain of the operational amplifier used. Similarly, the
efficiency of suppression of capacitance connected to the inputs is unexpectedly
high, although not that of the opamp input capacitance itself. Good agreement of
experi... hiện toàn bộ

An effective algorithm for multiway hypergraph partitioning Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1079-1092 - 2002
Zhizi Zhao, Lixin Tao, Yongchang Zhao
In this paper, we propose an effective multiway hypergraph partitioning
algorithm. We introduce the concept of net-gain and embed it in the selection of
cell moves. Unlike traditional FM-based iterative improvement algorithms in
which the selection of the next cell to move is only based on its cell gain, our
algorithm selects a cell based on both its cell-gain and the sum of all
net-gains for thos... hiện toàn bộ

Design and simulation of a single-electron random-access memory array Tập 49 Số 9 - Trang 1370-1375 - 2002
I. Karafyllidis
A single-electron random-access memory array is designed and its operation is
analyzed using Monte Carlo simulation. This memory array utilizes a basic
single-electron memory cell that has been recently fabricated. Bits of
information are represented by the presence or absence of a single or a small
number of electrons at conducting islands. Simulation shows that selective read
and write operation... hiện toàn bộ

A loop-breaking method for the analysis and simulation of feedback amplifiers Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1045-1061 - 2002
H.T. Russell
Two-circuit models for feedback subcircuits are developed from a modification to
the two-port method of feedback amplifier analysis and are applied in a method
to break the feedback loop. These models are terminally equivalent to linear and
nonlinear subcircuits, have physically-disconnected topologies, and employ
dependent sources to control lateral signal transfer with a switch-like on or
off ma... hiện toàn bộ

A modified Volterra series approach for nonlinear dynamic systems modeling Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1118-1128 - 2002
D. Mirri, G. Luculano, F. Filicori, G. Pasini, G. Vannini, G.P. Gabriella
This paper describes a modeling approach for nonlinear dynamic systems based on
a modified Volterra series; by comparing the truncation error of this series
with that of the classical Volterra one, we outlined that, under the assumption
of short-term nonlinear memory effects, the modified series enables a
single-fold nonlinear convolution integral to be adopted also in the presence of
strong nonli... hiện toàn bộ

Noise analysis of phase-locked loops Tập 49 Số 9 - Trang 1309-1316 - 2002
A. Mehrotra
This work addresses the problem of noise analysis of phase-locked loops (PLLs).
The problem is formulated as a stochastic differential equation and is solved in
the presence of circuit white noise sources yielding the spectrum of the PLL
output. Specifically, the effect of loop filter characteristics, phase-frequency
detector, and phase noise of the open-loop voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)

A minimal integral nonlinearity criterion to optimize the design of a new tanh/sinh-type bipolar transconductor Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1062-1070 - 2002
F.J. Garcia Sanchez, A. Ortiz-Conde, J.L. Finol, R.B. Salazar, J.A. Salcedo
We report on the use of a simple design optimization criterion for obtaining
maximum static transfer function linearity. It is based on an analytic function
that corresponds to the integral nonlinearity of the circuit. The criterion may
be useful, either as an analytic tool to gain insight into the circuit's
behavior, or as an efficient computational alternative to calculating total
harmonic disto... hiện toàn bộ

Lyapunov-theory-based radial basis function networks for adaptive filtering Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1215-1220 - 2002
Kah Phooi Seng, Zhihong Man, Hong Ren Wu
Two important convergence properties of Lyapunov-theory-based adaptive filtering
(LAF) adaptive filters are first explored. The LAF finite impulse response and
infinite impulse response adaptive filters are then realized using the radial
basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs). The proposed adaptive RBF neural
filtering system possesses the distinctive properties of RBF NN and the LAF
filtering... hiện toàn bộ
