In order to carry out the simulation of the electrical noise, a pulse generator with fast rise time is needed. For this reason, the pulse generator using a coaxial cable is usually used. The pulse generator consists of a DC power supply, a charging resistor, a coaxial cable, a relay, and a terminator. Even the same voltage as charge voltage was outputted when the termination of the impedance wa...

In the past few decades, a variety of rehabilitation robotic exoskeletons have been developed for patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury, which can assist therapists and potentially improve the functional outcomes. Many robotic exoskeleton systems adopted series elastic actuators, which are known to offer a number of advantages over rigid actuators, such as high force/torque fidelity, ...

A voltage current convertor is described having a quasi complementary class AB architecture that is particularly suited to implementation using discrete power MOSFETs. High-voltage mirror designs are presented, enabling the construction of sources with kilovolt compliance range, tens of watts of output power and greater than 100 kHz bandwidth. GΩ output impedance and distortion below 1% can be ...

Accurate circuit models derived from electromagnetic simulations have been used to fabricate photomixer sources with optimized high-impedance antennas. Output powers on the order of 1 W were measured for various designs spanning 0.6–2.7 THz. The improvement in output power ranged from 3 to 10 dB over more conventionally designed photomixers using broad-band log-spiral antennas. Measured data on...

This paper presents a modified current differencing transconductance amplifier (MCDTA) and a MCDTA based quadrature oscillator. The oscillator is current-mode and provides current output from high output impedance terminals. The circuit uses only one MCDTA and two grounded capacitors, and is easy to be integrated. Its oscillation frequency can be tuned electronically by tuning bias currents of ...

© 2011 ETRI Journal, Volume 33, Number 1, February 2011 A case study of an active transmitting patch antenna revealed a characteristic loop locus of DC power versus RF output power as drive frequency was varied, with an operational bandwidth substantially smaller than the impedance bandwidth of the radiator. An approximate simulation technique, based on separation of the output capacitance of t...

Impedance changes of the anode, cathode and solution were examined for an air-cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) under varying conditions. An MFC inoculated with a pre-enriched microbial culture resulted in a startup time of less than ten days. Over this period, the anode impedance decreased below the cathode impedance, suggesting a cathode-limited power output. Increasing the anode flow rate di...

This report introduces the scattering parameter concept from two perspectives. First, the scattering parameters are shown to be an effective vehicle for characterizing the high frequency I/O characteristics of two port networks. Such measurement effectiveness derives from the fact that scattering parameter measurements obviate problems invariably incurred at very high frequencies by the actions...
