Mixed Electric and Magnetic Coupling Design Based on Coupling Matrix Extraction

This paper proposes a design and fine-tuning method for mixed electric and magnetic coupling filters.It derives the quantitative relationship between the coupling coefficients(electric and magnetic coupling,i.e.,EC and MC)and the linear coefficients of frequencydependent coupling for the first time.Different from the parameter extraction technique using the bandpass circuit model,the proposed approach explicitly relatesEC and MC to the coupling matrix model.This paper provides a general theoretic framework for computer-aided design and tuning of a mixed electric and magnetic coupling filter based on coupling matrices.An example of a 7th-order coaxial combline filter design is given in the paper,verifying the practical value of the approach.

Impact of transparent exopolymer particles on the dynamics of dissolved organic carbon in the Amundsen Sea,Antarctica

The Southern Ocean is an important carbon sink pool and plays a critical role in the global carbon cycling.The Amundsen Sea was reported to be highly productive in inshore area in the Southern Ocean.In order to investigate the influence of transparent exopolymer particles(TEP)on the behavior of dissolved organic carbon(DOC)in this region,a comprehensive study was conducted,encompassing both open water areas and highly productive polynyas.It was found that microbial heterotrophic metabolism is the primary process responsible for the production of humic-like fluorescent components in the open ocean.The relationship between apparent oxygen utilization and the two humic-like components can be accurately described by a power-law function,with a conversion rate consistent with that observed globally.The presence of TEP was found to have little impact on this process.Additionally,the study revealed the accumulation of DOC at the sea surface in the Amundsen Sea Polynya,suggesting that TEP may play a critical role in this phenomenon.These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics and surface accumulation of DOC in the Amundsen Sea Polynya,and provide valuable insights into the carbon cycle in this region.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TURBINE BASED ON FLUID-STRUCTURE COUPLING

The vibration of a Francis turbine is analyzed with the additional quality matrix method based on fluid-structure coupling （FSC）. Firstly, the vibration frequency and mode of blade and runner in air and water are calculated. Secondly, the influences to runner frequency domain by large flow, small flow and design flow working conditions are compared. Finally the influences to runner modes by centrifugal forces under three rotating speeds of 400 r/rain, 500 r/min and 600 r/rain are compared. The centrifugal force and small flow working condition have greatly influence on the vibration of small runner. With the increase of centrifugal force, the vibration frequency of the runner is sharply increased. Some order frequencies are even close to the runner natural frequency in the air. Because the low frequency vibration will severely damage the stability of the turbine, low frequency vibration of units should be avoided as soon as possible.

A Minimum Residual Based Gradient Iterative Method for a Class of Matrix Equations

In this paper, we present a minimum residual based gradient iterative method for solving a class of matrix equations including Sylvester matrix equations and general coupled matrix equations. The iterative method uses a negative gradient as steepest direction and seeks for an optimal step size to minimize the residual norm of next iterate. It is shown that the iterative sequence converges unconditionally to the exact solution for any initial guess and that the norm of the residual matrix and error matrix decrease monotonically. Numerical tests are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method and confirm the theoretical results.

An AOR(Accelerated Over-Relaxation)iterative method is suggested by introducing one more parameter than SOR(Successive Over-Relaxation)method for solving coupled Lyapunov matrix equations(CLMEs)that come from continuous-time Markovian jump linear systems.The proposed algorithm improves the convergence rate,which can be seen from the given illustrative examples.The comprehensive theoretical analysis of convergence and optimal parameter needs further investigation.

Advanced Synthesis Techniques for Microwave Filters

With the advent of the ‘digital revolution’ that has made possible services such as the world wide web, satellite broadcasting and mobile and trunk telephony, the finite RF spectrum allocated for terrestrial and satellite telecommunication systems is becoming increasingly crowded. This has impacted significantly upon the performance required from the microwave equipment that comprises these systems. In the case of microwave filters, greater in-band linearity to avoid signal distortion and out-of-band isolation to suppress interference are routinely specified, which can only be satisfied by advanced filtering characteristics. This article presents the coupling matrix approach to the synthesis of prototype filter networks, enabling the realization of the hardware embodying the enhanced performance needed by today’s high capacity systems.

Efcient Iterative Solutions to General Coupled Matrix Equations

Linear matrix equations are encountered in many systems and control applications.In this paper,we consider the general coupled matrix equations（including the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations as a special case）l t=1EstYtFst = Gs,s = 1,2,···,l over the generalized reflexive matrix group（Y1,Y2,···,Yl）.We derive an efcient gradient-iterative（GI） algorithm for fnding the generalized reflexive solution group of the general coupled matrix equations.Convergence analysis indicates that the algorithm always converges to the generalized reflexive solution group for any initial generalized reflexive matrix group（Y1（1）,Y2（1）,···,Yl（1））.Finally,numerical results are presented to test and illustrate the performance of the algorithm in terms of convergence,accuracy as well as the efciency.

The changes on synchronizing ability of coupled networks from ring networks to chain networks

In this paper, two different ring networks with unidirectional couplings and with bidirectional couplings were discussed by theoretical analysis. It was found that the effects on synchronizing ability of the two different structures by cutting a link are completely opposite. The synchronizing ability will decrease if the change is from bidirectional ring to bidirectional chain. Moreover, the change on synchronizing ability will be four times if the number of N is large enough. However, it will increase obviously from unidirectional ring to unidirectional chain. It will be N^2/（π^2） times if the number of N is large enough. The numerical simulations confirm the conclusion in quality. This paper also discusses the effects on synchronization by adding one link with different length d to these two different structures. It can be seen that the effects are different. Theoretical results are accordant to numerical simulations. Synchronization is an essential physics problem. These results proposed in this paper have some important reference meanings on the real world networks, such as the bioecological system networks, the designing of the circuit, etc.

A microstrip filter direct-coupled amplifier based on active

This paper presents a methodology of designing an amplifier integrated with a microstrip filter using an active coupling matrix.The microstrip filter is directly coupled to the active device,and the integrated filter amplifier can achieve filtering as well as matching functionalities,simultaneously,eliminating the need for separate matching networks.The filter amplifier is repre-sented by an active coupling matrix,with additional columns and rows in the matrix corresponding to the active transistor.The matrix can be used to calculate the S-parameter responses(i.e.,the return loss and the gain)and the initial dimensions of the integrated device.Moreover,the integration of a filter and an amplifier leads to a reduced loss and a more compact architecture of the devices.An X-band microstrip filter amplifier has been designed and demonstrated as an example.Microstrip technology has been chosen because of its appealing advantages of easy fabrication,low cost,and most importantly,easy integration with active devices.

SYNCHRONIZATION STABILITY OF COMPLEX CONNECTED NETWORKS WITH DELAYS

Recently, much work has been devoted to the study of a large-scale complex system described by a network or a graph with complex topology, whose nodes are the elements of the system and whose edges represent the interactions among them. On the other hand, realistic modelling of many large networks with nonlocal interaction inevitably requires connection delays to be taken into account, since they naturally arise as a consequence of finite information transmission and processing speeds among the units. This paper gives the sufficient conditions guaranteeing the local and global synchronization stability of the complex connected networks by using Lyapunov functional.
