A Ka-band monolithic low-noise amplifier (LNA) with high gain and high dynamic range (DR) has been designed and implemented in a 100-nm gallium nitride (GaN)-on-Si technology. The LNA is designed as ...

Visual notations form an integral part of the language of software engineering (SE). Yet historically, SE researchers and notation designers have ignored or undervalued issues of visual representation ...

An adaptive neural network tracking control is studied for a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems. The studied systems are in discrete-time form and the discretized ...

Unintentional series and/or parallel resonances, due to the tuned passive filter and the line inductance, may result in severe harmonic distortion in the industrial power system. This paper presents a ...

Targeted drug delivery under image guidance is gaining more interest in the drug-delivery field. The use of microbubbles as contrast agents in diagnostic ultrasound provides new opportunities in ...

In the multivariable control literature there are few techniques that face the problem of selecting suitable loop pairings in non-linear multivariable systems. Most techniques analyze the linearized ...

This paper proposes a new interleaved buck converter (IBC) having low switching losses and improved step-down conversion ratio, which is suitable for the applications where the input voltage is high ...

In the future smart grids, it is important for prosumers to manage uncertainties from distributed renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) generation. As a type of distributed energy ...

Estimating parameters for various photovoltaic (PV) models is of great importance in simulating, evaluating, and controlling PV systems. To achieve the effective and accurate parameters of PV models, ...

This paper formulates a time-varying social-welfare maximization problem for distribution grids with distributed energy resources (DERs) and develops online distributed algorithms to identify (and ...

This paper proposes a novel transformerless grid-connected power converter with negative grounding for a photovoltaic generation system. The negative terminal of the solar cell array can be directly ...

The energy consumption of buildings has risen steadily in recent years. It is vital for the managers and owners of the building to manage the electric energy demand of the buildings. Forecasting ...
