The paper demonstrates virtual instrument software that enables performing simple and fast testing and metrological characterisation of any PC sound card in waveform recorder applications. In addition to the visualisation of recorded signal patterns in time and spectral domain, the software directly computes a variety of basic metrological parameters of input analogue channels e.g. effective nu...

A novel lOOMHz CMOS G,-C seventh-order 0.05" equiripple linear phase low-pass multiple loop feedback (MLF) filter based on the Leapfrog (LF) topology is presented. The filter is implemented using a fully-differential linear, high performance operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based on crosscoupled pairs. PSpice simulations in a standard TSMC 0.25pm CMOS process and with a single 5V po...

At present scenario, renewable energy sources are needed to meet the energy demand. They also mitigate environment pollution problems. The shortage of electrical energy demand can be meeting with renewable energy resources. A wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are primary energy sources. Grid connected renewable energy source like wind energy and solar energy are used to conne...

INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment for hemorrhoids should be indicated individually and is based on the predominant symptom (bleeding or prolapse), severity of disease and the presence or absence of external component (plicoma). Surgeons must choose among varied techniques the one suitable for each case. TECHNIC The THD procedure consists of Doppler guided high ligation, selective to up six subm...

In the present article, the effects of a non-linear load under balanced conditions on the rating of a transformer are analysed. Non-linear loads are related to temperature increases in a transformer, which lead to deterioration and reduction of lifetime. Due to the unwanted effects of harmonic components in non-linear loads, the load connected to the transformer should be reduced. In other word...

This work investigates the ways that Automatic Gain Control (AGC) operation can be modified to minimise the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) losses in the presence of a Continuous-Wave (CW) interferer for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. It was found that the recommendations based on analysis of a probabilistic model of a Direct Sequence Pseudorandom Noise (DSPN) receiver reporte...

The use of nonlinear load led to the injection of harmonics into the power system. In this paper, the performance of two topologies of shunt hybrid power filters for compensating voltage and current harmonics in the distributed power generation (DPG) system has been compared. The control algorithm used in this paper is the p-q theory for the harmonics compensation. The performance of these topo...

This paper presents the design of a high efficiency, low THD, 5.7GHz fully differential power amplifier for wireless communications in a standard 0.18μm CMOS technology. The power amplifier employs a fully differential class-E topology to achieve high power efficiency by exploiting its soft-switching property. In order to achieve high operating frequency, an injectionlocked oscillator is utiliz...

Multilevel converters are a very interesting alternative for medium and high power drives. Of these topologies the Multicell group is popularly growing due to its advantages such as modularity and scalability. This paper proposes a new topology of cascaded H bridge Multicell 15 level Inverter which is the mixed form of flying capacitor and cascaded group. This inverter is based on the cascaded ...

This paper proposes and discusses a novel AC/DC converter suitable for small-scaled wind power generation system applications. By introducing flyback cells into the three-phase single-switch Boost circuit, the proposed converter is designed as single-stage and has both rectification and high step-up power conversion functions. It is able to obtain high voltage gain at low input voltage level, a...
