Moisture content is an important factor in corn breeding and cultivation. A corn breed with low moisture at harvest is beneficial for mechanical operations, reduces drying and storage costs after harvesting and, thus, reduces energy consumption. Nondestructive measurement of kernel moisture in an intact corn ear allows us to select corn varieties with seeds that have high dehydration speeds in ...

A new cascadable CMOS based voltage squarer circuit having voltage input/current output and its analog four-quadrant multiplier application are presented. The proposed structure has high input impedance and high output impedance; thus, it can be easily connected to other circuits without requiring any extra buffers. Moreover, its two symmetrical bias voltages have high input impedances; accordi...

A novel Z-source three-level inverter based on coupled inductors is proposed. The two inductors in traditional Z-source impedance network are replaced by two coupled inductors. The operating principle is described and the equations of boost factor and voltage stresses are deduced. Comparisons are made with other Z-source three-level inverters, especially the multicell switched inductor Z-source...

Abstract A hybrid switching amplitude modulator for class-E2 EDGE polar transmitters is proposed. To achieve both high-efficiency and high-speed, it consists of a wideband buffered linear amplifier as a voltage source and a hysteresis-controlled switching amplifier as a dependent current source. The novel linear amplifier has a high current driving capability of approximately 160mA with a bandw...

A high performance FGMOS based current mirrors at low supply voltage is proposed in this paper. A combination of floating gate and CMOS technology is used to design this new simple current mirror at low supply voltage of 0.5V using 180nm CMOS technology. Very low input impedance of 14Ω with increased input voltage swing. In addition to accurate current copy, a very high output impedance of 5GΩ ...

This work presents an ultra-low-voltage ultra-low-power weak inversion composite MOS transistor. The steady state power consumption and the linear swing signal of the composite transistor are comparable to a single transistor, whereas presenting very high output impedance. This work also presents two interesting applications for the composite transistor; a 1:1 current mirror and an extremely lo...
