Consisting of four single-end OPAs,this structure is a pseudo-differential system. Compared to conventional CMOS power AMPs, it has the merits of low power consumption, extremely low THD,easy compensation, and good driving capability. With 1st silicon 0.25μm 1P4M CMOS technology and a 3V power supply,the output range can be 4Vpp when driving an 8Ω‖ 300pF load, while its power dissipation is less than 3mW. The THD is better than 0. 003% at 1kHz. A new over-current protection circuit, which can effectively protect the power output circuits on the chip, is also demonstrated.展开更多

The microwave power is input to the left section of the power sensor, and the DC power is input to the right of the power sensor. Due to the existence of parasitic loss and electromagnetic coupling, the microwave power results in a mismatch error. However, the DC power does not have the mismatch error. So the DC power applied in the right section can calibrate the mismatch error of the microwave power in the left section. The calibration factor is measured at different modulation rates and modulation depths.The measurement results show that the carrier frequency is the major factor influencing the measurement results. After calibration, the carrier frequency and the modulation rate have little effect on the output voltage. The frequency response becomes relatively flat in the frequency range up to 20 GHz, and the sensitivity on average is enhanced by about 0.12 mV/dBm. Therefore, the DC calibration method has a certain reference value for the terminal-type microwave power sensor.展开更多

More than 20 species, especially several radicals and isomers, were detected and identified from the measurements of photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectra. Based on the mass spectrometric analysis, the characteristics of n-butane and i-butane pyrolysis were discussed, which provided experimental evidences for the discussion of decomposition pathways of butane isomers. It is concluded that the isomeric structures of n-butane and i-butane have strong influence on their main decomposition pathways, and lead to dramatic differences in their mass spectra and PIE spectra such as the different dominant products and isomeric structures of butene products. Furthermore, compared with n-butane,i-butane can produce strong signals of benzene at low temperature in its pyrolysis due to the enhanced formation of benzene precursors like propargyl and C4 species, which provides experimental clues to explain the higher sooting tendencies of iso-alkanes than n-alkanes.展开更多

Obviously, these functions are harmonic but using power converters they can be strongly non-harmonic, sometimes piecewise constants with zero spaces between them. Then, one deals with power series of time pulses. The impulse switching functions which are orthogonal ones can be derived from these series. The new impulse switching functions are created using Z-transform, inverse Z-transform and numerical series/sequences. The impulse switching functions created this way can be used for both steady- and transient state investigation of converters.展开更多

Firstly, based on a free vortex flow pattern and the assumption of a circumferentially uniform flow at the design condition, a corrected method for volute design is adopted. By means of this method, corresponding to five geometric parameters affecting the volute overall performance, ten volute cases are designed. Secondly, the numerical simulation is employed and the detailed flow field and losses in different volutes with different geometric parameters are analyzed. The numerical investigation reveals that in all of the five geometric parameters, the radial location of the cross-section has the strongest influence on the performance of the volute. The non-uniform volute inlet formed by the upward vaned diffuser outlet flow is another important factor. Finally a relatively better value of D1/D2 is concluded.展开更多
