Analysis of RF Feedback Chain Isolation in Wireless Co-Time Co-Frequency Full Duplex

By employing a radio frequency(RF) feedback chain, the self-interference can be canceled efficiently in co-time co-frequency full duplex(CCFD). However, the evitable signal crosstalk which is caused by the imperfect RF feedback chain isolation usually damages the self-interference cancelation(SIC) performance. To deal with this problem, firstly, we analyze the impact of RF feedback chain isolation on SIC performance. Then a digital preprocessing scheme with RF feedback chain is proposed in the multiple-antenna CCFD architecture. Using both analytical and experimental methods, we find that the proposed scheme achieves a better performance on SIC.

Cascaded quasi-zero stiffness nonlinear low-frequency vibration isolator inspired by human spine

Human motion induced vibration has very low frequency,ranging from 2 Hz to 5 Hz.Traditional vibration isolators are not effective in low-frequency regions due to the trade-off between the low natural frequency and the high load capacity.In this paper,inspired by the human spine,we propose a novel bionic human spine inspired quasi-zero stiffness(QZS)vibration isolator which consists of a cascaded multi-stage negative stiffness structure.The force and stiffness characteristics are investigated first,the dynamic model is established by Newton’s second law,and the isolation performance is analyzed by the harmonic balance method(HBM).Numerical results show that the bionic isolator can obtain better low-frequency isolation performance by increasing the number of negative structure stages,and reducing the damping values and external force values can obtain better low-frequency isolation performance.In comparison with the linear structure and existing traditional QZS isolator,the bionic spine isolator has better vibration isolation performance in low-frequency regions.It paves the way for the design of bionic ultra-low-frequency isolators and shows potential in many engineering applications.

A New Zero-Voltage Transition Power Factor Corrected Single-Phase Single-Stage AC-to-DC Converter

This paper presents a new ZVT （zero-voltage transition） single-stage ac-to-dc converter using PWM （pulse width modulation） and HF （high frequency） transformer isolation with capacitive output filter. In this converter a front-end power factor corrected boost stage integrates with a cascaded dc-to-dc bridge HF converter. The front-end boost converter operates in discontinuous current mode and ensures natural power factor correction with very simple control. The auxiliary circuit of this topology deals with very small power and is placed out of the main power path. As a result, the auxiliary circuit components have smaller power rating as opposed to main converter components. Also, output rectifier voltage is clamped to output voltage due to capacitive output filter. Identification and analyses of different operating modes of this converter are presented. Based on these analyses design example of a 50 kHz, 48 V, 1 kW ac-to-dc converter is presented. PSPICE simulation results of the designed converter are presented and explained to verify the performance of this converter.

Power flow in the coupled dynamic system of machinery and building floor

The transmision mechanism of vibrational power flow in the complex flekible coupled system of machinery mouned on a multi-storey plant building via isolators are studied in this paper from the viewpoint of energy. In view of practical isolation designs in engineering,an asymmetric isolation system with mtiltiple isolators on a fiekible foundation is modeled, in which the interactions between the machine and the floor, and among different mouating points are taken illto account. Moreover, the transmission characteristics of power flow in the system concerned are analyzed with the use of subsystem mobility synthetic techaique. Further more,the power flow spectra of the asymmetric system are calculated and compared with those of symmetric one to reveal the effects of asymmetricity and system parameters on the power flow.Finally, new approaches to the control of structural vibration and acoustics for this kin of problems are proposed.
