Linear Projection is a widely used algorithm often implemented with high throughput requisites. This work presents a novel methodology to optimise Linear Projection designs that outperform typical design methodologies through a prior characterisation of the arithmetic units in the data path of the circuit under various operating conditions. Limited by the ever increasing process variation, the ...

ABSTRACT In this paper, a method of a Multiobjective Optimisation based on Chebytshev’s method and Genetic Algorithm for the synthesis of planar array antenna was investigated. This method for antenna pattern synthesis could suppress multiple interferences by placing nulls at the directions of the interfering sources and placing the main beam in the direction of the desired signal by controllin...

Background: Worldwide the computed tomography (CT) scanning is recognized as a high radiation dose modality. This article aimed to estimate the radiation dose reduction and radiogenic risks for adult patients undertaking abdominal CT examinations. Materials and Methods: A total of 128 patients were studied using 2, 4, 16 and 64 slice CT scanners. The patients were divided into two categories: t...

Superconducting magnetic energy storage-battery hybrid storage system (HESS) has a broad application prospect in balancing direct current (DC) power grid voltage due to its fast dynamic response ability under low-frequency/high-frequency disturbances. Model-predictive-control (MPC) with characteristics such as high sampling rate and wide applicability could be applied HESS. However, considering...

A CMOS multistage RF amplifier with DC coupling is presented. A complete optimisation of the various stages is done to maximize the RF gain for a given power budget. To decrease the effects of offsets and tolerances in high gain multistage amplifiers usually (lossy) AC coupling is used. The presented circuit employs DC coupling and DC control circuitry to avoid coupling-induced losses. Compared...

This paper describes an approach to optimise transistor dimensions within a standard cell library. The goal is to extract high-speed and low-power circuits which are more tolerant of the random fluctuations that will be prevalent in future technology nodes. Using statistically enhanced SPICE models based on 3D-atomistic simulations, a Genetic Algorithm optimises the device widths within a circu...

The performance of Newton-Raphson, LevenbergMarquardt, Damped Newton-Raphson and genetic algorithms are investigated for the estimation of induction motor equivalent circuit parameters from commonly available manufacturer data. A new hybrid algorithm is then proposed that combines the advantages of both descent and natural optimisation algorithms. Through computer simulation, the hybrid algorit...

Trade-off is one of the main design parameters in the field of electronic circuit design. Whereas smaller electronics devices which use less hardware due to techniques like hardware multiplexing or due to smaller devices created due to techniques developed by nanotechnology and MEMS, are more appealing, a trade-off between area, power and speed is inevitable. This paper analyses the trade-off i...
