In this study, a current-mode first order allpass filter using current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CCCDTAs) is proposed. The features of the circuit are that: the pole frequency, phase response and current gain can be electronically controlled via the input bias current: the circuit description is very simple, consisting of 2 CCCDTAs and 1 grounded capacitor, wi...

This report describes our work detailing the operation and performance of TCP-based transport protocols (Reno, BIC, and CTCP) on “Layer-1” circuits, in which a Gigabit Ethernet port on an end host has been directly mapped to a SONET circuit of lower rate (e.g., a 155 Mbps OC3). The switch uses IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent the sender from overwhelming the switch’s buffer. Current equipmen...

This paper proposes a new configuration for solar energy conversion systems. One challenging issue of the photovoltaic (PV) systems is partial shading, and in this paper Module Integrated Converters (MIC) are used to overcome this problem in PV arrays. A few boost converters are employed as MICs to mitigate the shading effect. Furthermore, to reduce the cost and to increase the system performan...

In this paper, two compact quad-channel and six-channel diplexer are designed and fabricated using defected microstrip structure (DMS). This structure is designed for the desired frequency based on the literature reviews. The proposed configuration is composed of a conventional T-junction divider with two pairs of open bended stubs and dual/tri-band filters. In designing dual band filters, a lo...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for integrated circuits is a challenge. Here we demonstrate that a significant reduction in the use of field-effect transistors can be achieved by constructing carbon nanotube-based integrated circuits based ...

1 Hans Kleine Büning, Benno Stein ABSTRACT Configuration is a process of creating complex systems out of a finite set of predefined objects. This process may enclose the selection, the assemblage and the adaptation of these objects. In this paper we want to describe how the configuration of hydraulic plants can be supported. A hydraulic plant is a complex system that consists of electronic, mec...

A new current-injection Josephson latch employing a single-flux quantum is proposed. It has a master-slave circuit configuration and operates under ac power supply. In the circuit, data are stored as a circulating current in a superconducting loop consisting of a single junction and inductances. A two-junction interferometer gate directly coupled to the l.oop reads out the stored data. Dual-rai...

Abstract − The switched-mode second-order Class E configuration with a generalized load network including the shunt capacitance, series bondwire inductance, finite DC feed inductance and series LC circuit is analytically defined with a set of the exact design equations. Based on these equations, the required voltage and current waveforms and circuit parameters are determined for both general ca...

Conventional leakage reduction techniques focus primarily on sub-threshold leakage mitigation, while neglecting the effect of gate leakage current. This work focuses on understanding gate leakage current and developing circuit techniques for total leakage minimization. We present an efficient technique for gate leakage of CMOS circuits. Input vector control and circuit reconfiguration technique...

In this appendix, the frequency characteristics of the RLC circuit model and the KLM model are compared via numerical simulations. To facilitate the comparison, the piezoelectric crystal was assumed to be lossless, air backed, and radiating into a homogeneous lossless region. This was done to simplify the analysis since closed form expressions for the element values in the RLC circuit model hav...
