An FPGA Implementation of Resource-Optimized Dynamic Digital Beamformer for a Portable Ultrasound Imaging System
This paper presents a resource-friendly dynamic digital beamformer for a portable ultrasound imaging system based on a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The core of the ultrasound imaging system is a 128- channel receive beamformer with fully dynamic focusing embedded in a single FPGA chip, which operates at a frequency of 40 MHz. The Rx…
Read More Design and Implementation of Closed-loop PI Control Strategies in Real-time MATLAB Simulation Environment for Nonlinear and Linear ARMAX Models of HVAC Centrifugal Chiller Control Systems
The objective of this paper is to investigate three different approaches of modeling, design and discrete-time implementation of PI closed-loop control strategies in SIMULINK simulation environment, applied to a centrifugal chiller system. Centrifugal chillers are widely used in large building HVAC systems. The system consists of an evaporator, a condenser, a centrifugal compressor and an…
Read More Analysis of Outdoor and Indoor Propagation at 15 GHz and Millimeter Wave Frequencies in Microcellular Environment
The main target of this article is to perform the multidimensional analysis of multipath propagation in an indoor and outdoor environment at higher frequencies i.e. 15 GHz, 28 GHz and 60 GHz, using “sAGA” a 3D ray tracing tool. A real world outdoor Line of Sight (LOS) microcellular environment from the Yokusuka city of Japan…
Read More Impact of Crosstalk on Signal Integrity of TSVs in 3D Integrated Circuits
Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs) are utilized for high density 3D integration, which induce crosstalk problems and impact signal integrity. This paper focuses on TSV crosstalk characterization in 3D integrated circuits, where several TSV physical and environmental configurations are investigated. In particular, this work shows a detailed study on the influence of signal-ground TSV locations, distances and their…
Read More A Statistical Approach for Gain Bandwidth Prediction of Phoenix-Cell Based Reflect arrays
A new statistical approach to predict the gain bandwidth of Phoenix-cell based reflectarrays is proposed. It combines the effects of both main factors that limit the bandwidth of reflectarrays: spatial phase delays and intrinsic bandwidth of radiating cells. As an illustration, the proposed approach is successfully applied to two reflectarrays based on new Phoenix cells.
Read More Compact wireless control network protocol with fast path switching
Sensor network protocol stacks require the addition or adjustment of functions based on customer requirements. Sensor network protocols that require low delay and low packet error rate (PER), such as wireless control networks, often adopt time division multiple access (TDMA). However, it is difficult to add or adjust functions in protocol stacks that use TDMA…
Read More On-Chip Testing Schemes of Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs) in 3D Stacked ICs
This paper presents on-chip testing structures to characterize and detect faulty Through Silicon Vias (TSVs) in 3D ICs technology. 3D Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) I/O testing is proposed to characterize the performance of 3D TSVs in high speed applications. The GTL testing circuit will fire different data patterns at different frequencies to characterize the transient…
Read More Performance Analysis of Phased Array and Frequency Diverse Array Radar Ambiguity Functions
Radar ambiguity function is widely employed to analyze a radar system’s time delay (range) resolution, Doppler frequency (range rate) resolution, mainlobe width and sidelobes in both range and Doppler. In this paper, ambiguity functions of frequency diverse array (FDA) which offers range-angle dependent transmit beampattern and Phased array which yields angle transmit beampattern is investigated.…
