Design of linear phase FIR filters using fractional derivative constraints

In this paper, the designs of linear phase FIR filters using fractional derivative constraints are investigated. First, the definition of fractional derivative is reviewed briefly. Then, the linear phase FIR filters are designed by minimizing integral squares error under the constraint that the ideal response and actual response have several same fractional derivatives at the prescribed frequency point. Next, the fractional maximally flat FIR filters are designed by letting the number of fractional derivative constraints be equal to the number of filter coefficients. Finally, numerical examples are demonstrated to show that the proposed method has larger design flexibility than the conventional integer derivative constrained methods.     

Optimal design of Service Overlay Networks with economic and performance constraints

In the last years, Service Overlay Networks (SONs) have emerged as a promising means to address some of the issues (e.g. end‐to‐end QoS) affecting the current Internet and to favor the development and deployment of new value‐added Internet services. The deployment of an SON is a capital‐intensive investment, since bandwidth with certain QoS guarantees must be purchased from the individual network domains through bilateral Service Level Agreements. Thus, minimizing the economic cost of the logical end‐to‐end service delivery infrastructure is one of the key objectives for the SON provider. When a SON is aimed at end‐to‐end QoS provisioning, its topology must be designed so as to also satisfy the specific requirements of QoS‐sensitive applications. This paper deals with the problem of planning the SON topology in order to take into account both cost and QoS constraints. More specifically, the paper proposes a set of new algorithms for the design of an optimized SON topology, which minimizes the economic cost while simultaneously meeting bandwidth and delay constraints. A performance comparison among such algorithms is finally carried out. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Frequency Response Function identification for multivariable motion control: Optimal experiment design with element-wise constraints

Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are essential in mechatronic systems and its application ranges from system design and validation to controller design and diagnostics. The aim of this paper is to optimally design experiments for FRF identification of multivariable motion systems subject to element-wise power constraints. A multivariable excitation design framework is established that explicitly addresses the frequency-wise directionality of the system to be identified. The design problem involves solving a rank-constrained optimization problem, which is non-convex and NP-hard in most cases. Two algorithms to solving this problem approximately are presented that rely on a convex (semi-definite) relaxation of the original problem. Additionally, exact solutions for several special cases are presented. The two algorithms are shown to overcome the limitations of traditional excitation design. This is confirmed by experimental results from a 7 × 8 wafer stage setup, which show a significant improvement of the FRF quality using the proposed techniques over traditional design approaches.

Partial scan design and test sequence generation based on reduced scan shift method

This paper presents a partial scan algorithm, calledPARES (PartialscanAlgorithm based onREduced Scan shift), for designing partial scan circuits. PARES is based on the reduced scan shift that has been previously proposed for generating short test sequences for full scan circuits. In the reduced scan shift method, one determines proch FFs must be controlled and observed for each test vector. According to the results of similar analysis, PARES selects these FFs that must be controlled or observed for a large number of test vectors, as scanned FFs. Short test sequences are generated by reducing scan shift operations using a static test compaction method. To minimize the loss of fault coverage, the order of test vectors is so determined that the unscanned FFs are in the state required by the next test vector. If there are any faults undetected yet by a test sequence derived from the test vectors, then PARES uses a sequential circuit test generator to detect the faults. Experimental results for ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of PARES.

Pass transistor with dual threshold voltage domino logic design using standby switch for reduced subthreshold leakage current

Dual threshold voltages domino design methodology utilizes low threshold voltages for all transistors that can switch during the evaluate mode and utilizes high threshold voltages for all transistors that can switch during the precharge modes. We employed standby switch can strongly turn off all of the high threshold voltage transistors which enhances the effectiveness of a dual threshold voltage CMOS technology to reduce the subthreshold leakage current. Subthreshold leakage currents are especially important in burst mode type integrated circuits where the majority of the time for system is in an idle mode. The standby switch allowed a domino system enters and leaves a low leakage standby mode within a single clock cycle. In addition, we combined domino dynamic circuits style with pass transistor XNOR and CMOS NAND gates to realize logic 1 output during its precharge phase, but not affects circuits operation in its evaluation and standby phase. The first stage NAND gates output logic 1 can guarantee the second stage computation its correct logic function when system is in a cascaded operation mode. The processing required for dual threshold voltage circuit configuration is to provide an extra threshold voltage involves only an additional implant processing step, but performs lower dynamic power consumption, lower delay and high fan-out, high switching frequencies circuits characteristics. SPICE simulation for our proposed circuits were made using a 0.18 µm CMOS process from TSMC, with 10 fF capacitive loads in all output nodes, using the parameters for typical process corner at 25 °C, the simulation results demonstrated that our designed 8-bit carry look-ahead adders reduced chip area, power consumption and propagation delay time more than 40%, 45% and around 20%, respectively. Wafer based our design were fabricated and measured, the measured data were listed and compared with simulation data and prior works. SPICE simulation also manifested lower sensitivity of our design to power supply, temperature, capacitive load and process variations than the dynamic CMOS technologies.

Joint design of QC-LDPC codes for coded cooperation system with joint iterative decoding

In this paper, we investigate joint design of quasi-cyclic low-density-parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes for coded cooperation system with joint iterative decoding in the destination. First, QC-LDPC codes based on the base matrix and exponent matrix are introduced, and then we describe two types of girth-4 cycles in QC-LDPC codes employed by the source and relay. In the equivalent parity-check matrix corresponding to the jointly designed QC-LDPC codes employed by the source and relay, all girth-4 cycles including both type I and type II are cancelled. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the jointly designed QC-LDPC coded cooperation well combines cooperation gain and channel coding gain, and outperforms the coded non-cooperation under the same conditions. Furthermore, the bit error rate performance of the coded cooperation employing jointly designed QC-LDPC codes is better than those of random LDPC codes and separately designed QC-LDPC codes over AWGN channels.     

Integrated design of filtering antenna with high selectivity and improved performance for L-band applications

An integrated design of compact filtering antenna having high selectivity and suppressed unwanted harmonics is proposed in this paper. The proposed filtering antenna is obtained by integrating a modified elliptic-shaped monopole antenna with a modified interdigital bandpass filter (IBPF). At first, a modified elliptic-shaped monopole antenna is designed and investigated through numerical simulation and experimentally. Further, the modified IBPF reported in the literature is integrated with the proposed monopole antenna to achieve good passband selectivity and suppressed unwanted harmonics for the proposed filtering antenna. The proposed filtering antenna is analysed through numerical simulation software. The simulated −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of the proposed filtering antenna covers the frequency range 1.01–1.96 GHz with improved band-edge selectivity and unwanted harmonic suppression up to 8 GHz (= 5.4 f₀, where f₀ is the centre frequency of passband). It has nearly stable omnidirectional radiation patterns over the whole frequency band. The proposed filtering antenna was fabricated and experimentally tested. The experimental results are nearly in agreement with corresponding numerical simulation results. The proposed filtering antenna can be a suitable candidate for various L-band wireless communication applications.
