1. Passivity-preserving interpolation-based . . . - Francesco Ferranti; Giulio Antonini; Tom Dhaene; Luc Knockaert
The increasing operating frequencies and decreasing IC feature size call for 3-D electromagnetic (EM) methods, such as the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) method, as necessary tools for the analysis and design of high-speed systems. Very large systems of equations are often generated by 3-D EM methods and model order reduction (MOR) techniques are commonly used to reduce such a high model complexity. A typical design process includes optimization and design space exploration, and hence requires multiple simulations for different design parameter values. Traditional MOR techniques perform model reduction only with respect to frequency and such design activities call for...

2. SPICE Mutator Model for Transforming Memristor into Meminductor - Wang, Hui; Wang, Xin; Li, Chuandong; Chen, Ling
The memristor (resistor with memory), as the fourth fundamental circuit element, is a nonvolatile nanoelectronic device and holds great promise for VLSI applications. It was suggested that the meminductor (ML, inductor with memory) circuit can be built by memristor emulators. This paper further addresses the transformation mechanism in terms of constitutive relation from the memristor to the meminductor and then designs an MR-ML mutator to achieve MR-ML transformation. We also present the mutator’s SPICE model and analyze the simulation results.

3. Nonlinear Electronics: a Linear Time-Varying Circuit Approach - F. L. Neerhoff; P. Van Der Kloet; A. Van Staveren; C. J. M. Verhoeven
Given a nonlinear electronic circuit, an associated linear time-varying small-signal circuit is formally derived by the tableau-method. It has the same topology as the original circuit while each original circuit element is replaced by an incremental one, evaluated along the signal-dependent nonlinear circuit solution. Since the variational circuit is linear in the first place, the designer is now invited to use the results of linear circuit theory. Furthermore, we present time-discrete companion models of linear time-varying elements. By them, the small-signal circuit equations can be e#ciently solved numerically. Keywords--- Nonlinear electronic circuit design, linear time-varying small-signal circuits. I. Introduction Recently,...

Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC)-based solver that can handle electromagnetic problems with non-orthogonal structures is presented in this paper. The solver has been written in C++ and employs GMM++ and ScaLAPACK computational libraries to make the solver fast, efficient, and adaptable to current parallel computer systems. The parallel PEEC-based solver has been tested and studied on high performance computing clusters and the correctness of the solver has been verified by doing comparisons between results from orthogonal routines and also another type of electromagnetic solver, namely FEKO. Two non-orthogonal numerical test cases have been analysed in the time and frequency domain. The...

Abstract—A nonlinear electrical transmission line with an intersite circuit element acting as a nonlinear resistance is introduced and investigated. In the continuum limit, the dynamics of localized signals is described by a nonlinear evolution equation belonging to the family of nonlinear diffusive Burgers ’ equations.

An exact discrete compactlysupported signal voltage is found for the network and the dissipative effects on the pulse motion analytically studied. Numerical simulations confirm the validity of analytical results and the robustness of these compact pulse signals which...

8. Adaptive FIR filter. - Ulrich Menzi; George S. Moschytz
Abstract-The implementation of adaptive FIR filters based on the LMS algorithm using SC circuits is described. The filters consist of the basic elements: delay element, summing circuit, integrator, and multiplier. In an error analysis, the influence of nonideal effects of SC networks on the behavior of a given filter is investigated. It is shown that the nonidealities in the FIR filter part of the circuit can be eliminated by an additional constant tap element, whereas the main error source in the adaptation part are the multiplier- and integrator offset-errors, which can be compensated using special offset-free circuits. Using the proposed...

9. Unified Cellular Neural Network Cell Dynamical Equation Using Delta Operator - George S. Moschytz
ABSTRACT: The signal processing algorithms based on conventional shift operator tend to be ill-conditioned in situations involving fast sampling and shorter wordlength. To alleviate this problem delta operator based analysis and design has been proposed for high speed digital signal processing and control systems. The advantage for delta (8) operator seems to come from the fact as sampling period T,+ O, the discrete time system process resembles that of continuous time system. In this paper we develop a unified cellular neural network (CNN) cell model using the delta operator approach. The model gives a general discrete-time (DT) CNN cell dynamics...

11. Design of High Speed Based On Parallel Prefix Adders Using In FPGA - B Pullarao; J. Praveen Kumar
The binary adder is the critical element in most digital circuit designs including digital signal processors (DSP) and microprocessor data path units. As such, extensive research continues to be focused on improving the power-delay performance of the adder. In VLSI implementations, parallel-prefix adders(also known as carry-tree adders) are known to have the best performance. However,this performance advantage does not translate directly into FPGA implementations due to constraints on logic block configurations and routing overhead. This paper investigates three types of carry-tree adders (the Kogge-Stone, sparse Kogge-Stone, and spanning tree adder) and compares them to the simple Ripple Carry Adder (RCA)....

For these applications, the coupling between the Computational Fluid Dynamics and the electromagnetism modeling is not easy. In this context, a magnetodynamic formulation is developed using the Finite Volume Method to address specific issues in multiphysics involved in circuit breaker modeling. The principles of Finite Volume Method, their using for the electromagnetism modeling, and multiphysics coupling method are described. Problems are expressed within current based T{T0 { formulation which differs drastically from other developments given in the context...

18. Channel characterization and signal propagation studies for wireless galvanic coupled body sensors - Simon Cabrera, Ferran
[ANGLES`] New medical procedures involving continuous patient monitoring through human body sensors are becoming commonplace with micro-scale implanted sensors transferring information to on-surface macro-scale sensors for further data retrieval and analysis. Traditional forms of radio frequency-based wireless communication find limited use in such scenarios owing the limited penetration of electromagnetic waves through human tissue, and the need for frequent battery replacements. Instead, we propose a radically different form of wireless communication in this paper that involves galvanic coupling using extremely low energy electrical signals. The main contributions in this paper are: (i) developing a theoretical model suite to estimate the...

The aim of this paper is to propose a circuit for copying the value of a given resistor into a memristive device. HSPICE simulations are also presented to confirm the efficiency of the proposed circuit.

20. Wide Frequency Range Lumped Element Equivalent Circuit for HF Planar Transformer
Abstract- Lumped element equivalent circuits that accurately represent the electrical behavior of H.F. n-winding transformers are now available. These circuits suit for time domain simulation but evaluation of their parameters relies on measurements. In order to avoid prototype manufacturing, engineers need to deduce same parameters from geometrical and physical data and, to carry out optimization, they prefer analytical approach to fem one. This paper shows how to do this for planar transformers which have simple geometry. Comparison of results with experimental data is given and analyzed. I.
