The modulation strategies can be classified into two kinds according tothe turn-on sequence of the diagonal switches. The concept of leading switches and lagging switchesis introduced to realize soft-switching.

This method resolves the problem of directly measuring the transient characteristics of PCSS in nonlinear mode. The curve of transient voltage shows that the average electric field of PCSS in the lock-on period is always higher than the Gunn threshold,and increases monotonically. By comparing the transient power curves of the PCSS and the electrical source,it is demonstrated directly that the power shortage leads to the PCSS from the lock-on state into the selfturnoff state,so a controllable turnoff of the PCSS in lock-on by changing the distribution of the circuit power is predicted.展开更多

And multiple controllers are deployed to improve the scalability and reliability of the control plane, which could divide the network into several subdomains with separate controllers. However, such deployment introduces a new problem of controller load imbalance due to the dynamic traffic and the static configuration between switches and controllers. To address this issue, this paper proposes a Distribution Decision Mechanism(DDM) based on switch migration in the multiple subdomains SDN network. Firstly, through collecting network information, it constructs distributed migration decision fields based on the controller load condition. Then we choose the migrating switches according to the selection probability, and the target controllers are determined by integrating three network costs, including data collection, switch migration and controller state synchronization. Finally, we set the migrating countdown to achieve the ordered switch migration. Through verifying several evaluation indexes, results show that the proposed mechanism can achieve controller load balancing with better performance.展开更多

In this paper, we propose an improved trans- mission matrix method (TMM) for fast decoupling capacitance allocation. An irregular grid partition mechanism is proposed, which helps speed up the impedance computation and complies better with the irregular power/ground (P/G) plane or planes with many vias and decoupling capacitors. Furthermore, we also ameliorate the computation procedure of the impedance matrix whenever decoupling capacitors are inserted or removed at specific ports. With the fast computation of impedance change, in-package decoupling capacitor allocation is done with an efficient change based method in the frequency domain. Experimental results show that our approach can gain about 5× speedup compared with a general TMM, and is efficient in restraining the noise on the P/G plane.展开更多

Conventional AGC circuit is...This paper presents an innovative switched-mode auto gain control (AGC) circuit with internally created reset module for DC-10Mb/s burst-mode unbalanced (BMU) optical data transmission. Conventional AGC circuit is inappropriate for BMU data transmission because it is based on average level detection and requires considerable time to settle on a predefined gain. Therefore, we adopt a fast switched-mode AGC based on peak level detection. After the gain is adjusted, the peak level detectors need to re-detect the peak level of the input signal. Thus, we develop an internally created reset module. This AGC with reset module exhibits a fast operation and achieves an adjusted stable gain within one-bit, avoiding any bit loss up to 10Mb/s data rate. During power-up, the peak level detectors possibly hold an uncertain level resulting in the bit-errors. We propose a power-up reset circuit to solve this problem. Designed in a 0.5μm CMOS technology, the circuit achieves an optical sensitivity of better than -30dBm and a wide dynamic range of over 30dB with a power dissipation of only 30 mW from a 5V supply.展开更多

This method can avoid maintaining the connectivities between backbone hosts. Considering that the hosts in mobile networks have different characteristics, this paper proposes a method of calculating minimal dominating set with weight. The nodes can be chosen to form a minimal dominating set when the network topology changes. For the host switch on/off operation, the updating algorithm was provided. The change in the status of a hostaffects only the status of hosts in the restricted vicinity. Simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure fewer dominators but with higher weight to form the minimal dominating set and the nodes can be adaptive to the changes of network topology.展开更多

Based on the slave-boson mean-field theory, we find that in this system the persistent current (PC) sensitively depends on the parity and size of the AB ring and can be tuned by the spin-flip scattering (R). In the small AB ring, the PC is suppressed due to the enhancing R weakening the Kondo resonance. On the contrary, in the large AB ring, with R increasing, the peak of PC firstly moves up to max-peak and then down. Especially, the PC phase shift of π appears suddenly with the proper value of R, implying the existence of the anomalous Kondo effect in this system. Thus this system may be a carldidate for quantum switch.展开更多

We find that the quenched domain is induced by the instantaneous electric field across the PCSS being lower than the sustaining electric field of the domain during the transit of the domain. The extinction of the domain before reaching the anode can lead to a current oscillation frequency larger than the transit- time frequency when the bias electric field is lower than the threshold electric field of the nonlinear PCSS. According to the operation circuit and the physical properties of a high-field domain,an equivalent circuit of the quenched domain is presented. The equivalent circuit parameters including capacitance, resonant frequency, and inductance are calculated and measured. Our calculations agree well with the experimental results. This research provides theoretical and experimental criteria for heightening the oscillation frequency and efficiency of PACD devices.展开更多

Simulations with a resistive load circuit for power loss comparison at high frequency application are performed with 20V-rated power switching devices,including a BTB-JFET,a trench MOSFET (T-MOSFET) generally applied in present industry, and a conventional trench-gate bipolar-mode JFET (TB-JFET) without buried oxide,for the first time. The simulation results indicate that the switching power loss of the normally-on BTB-JFET is improved by 37% and 14% at 1MHz compared to the T-MOSFET and the normally-on TB-JFET, respectively. In order to demonstrate the validity of the simulation, the normally-on TB-JFET and BTB-JFET have been fabricated successfully for the first time, where the buried oxide structure is realized by thermal oxidation. The experimental results show that the Cgd of the BTB-JFET is decreased by 45% from that of the TB-JFET at zero source-drain bias. Compared to the TB-JFET,the switching time and switching power loss of the BTB-JFET decrease approximately by 7. 4% and 11% at 1MHz,respectively. Therefore,the normally-on BTB-JFET could be pointing to a new direction for the R&D of low volt- age and high frequency switching devices.展开更多

文摘To simulate the nonlinear behavior of ferroelectric structures and devices under non-uniform electromechanical loadings,a domain-switching embedded electromechanical finite element method is developed in this paper.Following continuum assumption,the electromechanical behavior of each representative material point can be obtained by averaging the behavior of the local corresponding microstructure,e.g.42 domains used in this work.A new Double Gibbs free energy criterion for domain-switching is proposed to ensure the convergence and stability of the simulations on ferroelectrics under non-uniform field.Several computational examples are given to demonstrate that this nonlinear finite element method can yield reasonable and stable simulation results which can be used to explain some experimental results and assist the design of ferroelectric devices.

文摘Although classical WENOCU schemes can achieve high-order accuracy by introducing a moderate constant parameter C to increase the contribution of optimal weights,they exhibit distinct numerical dissipation in smooth regions.This study presents an extension of our previous research which confirmed that adaptively adjusting parameter C can indeed overcome the inadequacy of the usage of a constant small value.Cmin is applied near a discontinuity while Cmax is used elsewhere and they are switched according to the variation of the local flow-field property.This study provides the reference values of the adaptive parameter C of WENOCU4 and systematically evaluates the comprehensive performance of three different switches(labeled as the binary,continuous,and hyperbolic tangent switches,respectively)based on an optimized efficient WENOCU4 scheme(labeled as EWENOCU4).Varieties of 1D scalar equations,empirical dispersion relation analysis,and multi-dimensional benchmark cases of Euler equations are analyzed.Generally,the dissipation and dispersion properties of these three switches are similar.Especially,employing the binary switch,EWENOCU4 achieves the best comprehensive properties.Specifically,the binary switch can efficiently filter more misidentifications in smooth regions than others do,particularly for the cases of 1 D scalar equations and Euler equations.Also,the computational efficiency of the binary switch is superior to that of the hyperbolic tangent switch.Moreover,the optimized scheme exhibits high-resolution spectral properties in the wavenumber space.Therefore,employing the binary switch is a more cost-effective improvement for schemes and is particularly suitable for the simulation of complex shock/turbulence interaction.This study provides useful guidance for the reference values of parameter C and the evaluation of adaptive switches.
