This work is motivated by the need for an ad hoc sensor network to autonomously optimise its performance for given task objective and constraints. Arguing that communication is the main bottleneck for distributed computation in a sensor network we formulate two approaches for optimisation of computing rates. The first is a team problem for maximising the minimum communication throughput of sens...

random early detection (red) is one of the most commonly used active queue management (aqm) algorithms that is recommended by ietf for deployment in the network. although red provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of red is highly sensitive to the red parameters setting. as network condition varies largely, setting red's parameters with fixed ...

The superconducting band-pass filter has small insertion loss and excellent out-of-band rejection properties. It has been put to practical use in a number of applications. However, in order to expand its range of application, a tuning technique that can restore the filter characteristics is needed. We propose an automatic tuning system using a trimming library and checked the feasibility of the...

in this paper, a low voltage and low power (lv/lp) operational transconductance amplifier (ota) using fgmos (floating-gate mos) transistor is proposed. the relative tuning range of 50 is achieved in this ota while only consumes 40 µw with 1.0 v supply voltage in tsmc 0.18 µm cmos technology. the simulation results of the proposed ota show an open loop gain of 30.2 db and a unity gain frequency ...

This paper presents CMOS circuits for integrated analog filters at very high frequencies, based on transconductance-C integrators. First a differential transconductance element based on CMOS inverters is described. With this circuit a linear, tunable integrator for very-high-frequency integrated filters can be made. This integrator has good linearity properties (1% relative gm error for 2-V,, i...

We present a continuously tunable nonrecursive radio-frequency (RF) photonic filter. The filter provides fine tuning through the use of a novel RF phase shifter and coarse tuning using an all optical variable time delay. This architecture permits wide-band continuous tuning of the filter null frequency and is useful in applications such as moving target indication (MTI) in an airborne radar.

A very wide tuning range MOSFET-C filter has been introduced. The wide tuning range in this filter has been achieved without using any switchable components or programmable building blocks, while, the cutoff frequency of the filter can be adjusted simply through a controlling bias current. The filter has a low-pass characteristics with fc = 20Hz to 184kHz while exhibiting a constant power consu...
