Multistage amplifiers have become appropriate choices for high-speed electronics and data conversion. Because of the large number of high-impedance nodes, frequency compensation has become the biggest challenge in the design of multistage amplifiers. The new compensation technique in this study uses two differential stages to organize feedforward and feedback paths. Five Miller loops and a 500-pF load capacitor are driven by just two tiny compensating capacitors, each with a capacitance of less than 10 pF. The symbolic transfer function is calculated to estimate the circuit dynamics and HSPICE and TSMC 0.18 ㎛. CMOS technology is used to simulate the proposed five-stage amplifier. A straightforward iterative approach is also used to optimize the circuit parameters given a known cost function. According to simulation and mathematical results, the proposed structure has a DC gain of 190 dB, a gain bandwidth product of 15 MHz, a phase margin of 89°, and a power dissipation of 590 ㎼.

In this paper, we attempt to control induction motors with high power efficiency as well as high dynamic performance by utilizing the recently developed theories : singular perturbation technique and noninteracting feedback control. Our controller consists of three subcontrollers` a saturation current controller, a decoupling controller, and a well-known flux simulator. The decoupling controller decouples rotor speed (or motor torque) and rotor flux linearly. Our controller does not need the rotor resistance that varies widely with the machine temperature. To illuminate the practical significance of our results, we present simulation and experimental results as well as mathematical performance analysis.

A wavelet-based image compression system allowing both lossless and lossy image compression is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of the two stages. The first stage uses the wavelet packet transform and the quad-tree coding scheme for the lossy compression. In the second stage, the residue image taken between the original image and the lossy reconstruction image is coded for the lossless image compression by using the integer wavelet transform and the context based predictive technique with feedback error. The proposed wavelet-based algorithm, allowing an optional lossless reconstruction of a given image, transmits progressively image materials and chooses an appropriate wavelet filter in each stage. The lossy compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 1 dB PSNR performance of the high frequency image, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. In addition, the lossless compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 0.39 compression rates of the high frequency image, compared to that of the existing algorithm.

The polymerization shrinkage of composite resins is an important drawback although the composites have many advantages-more esthetic and conservative than metallic restoratives etc. The purposes of this research were to develop a new measurement method and to manufacture an instrument that can measure the initial dynamic volumetric shrinkage of composite resins during polymerization. The instrument was basically an electromagnetic balance that constructed with a force transducer using position sensitive photo detector(PSPD) and a negative feedback servo amplifier of proportional-derivative(PD) controller. The volumetric change of composites during polymerization was detected continuously as buoyancy change in distilled water by means of Archimedes's principle. It was converted to continuous electrical voltage signal in real time. The signal was properly conditioned and filtered and then it was stored in computer by a data acquisition(DAQ) board. By using this electronic instrument. the dynamic patterns of the polymerization shrinkage of eight commercial(Z-100, DenFil, AeliteFil, Z-250, P-60, SureFil, Synergy compact, and Tetric ceram) composite resins were measured and compared. The results were as follows. 1. From this project of developing instrument, the ability has been achieved that can acquire and process data of electrical signal transformed from various physical phenomenon by using temperature, displacement. photo. and force transducer. As a consequence, the instrumentation and measurement system used to analyze the physical characteristics of various dental materials in dental research field can be designed, manufactured and implemented in lab. 2. This instrument has some advantages. It was insensible to temperature change and could measure true dynamic volumetric shrinkage in real time without complicated process. It showed accuracy and high precision results with small standard deviation. 3. The polymerization shrinkage of composites was significantly different between brands and ranged from 2.47％ to 3.89％, The order of polymerization shrinkage was as follows, in order of increasing shrinkage, SureFil, P60, Z250, Z100, Synergy compact. DenFil, Tetric ceram, and AeliteFil. 4. The polymerization shrinkage rate per unit time, dVol％/dt, showed that the instrument can provide an indirect research method for polymerization reaction kinetics.

This paper presents a varactor-less voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) at W-band (75-110 GHz) with a compact size in a 0.15-㎛ GaAs pHEMT technology. For varactor-less frequency tuning, an inductive tuning circuit is employed. An active inductor is realized by the common-gate stage with gate termination and shows a wide tuning range with a high quality factor (Q-factor) compared with the conventional varactor diode. Colpitts topology with source feedback is employed for the oscillation core of the VCO. The varactor-less VCO exhibits a measured tuning range of 5.8 % and peak output power of 5.7 dBm at 88 GHz while the 146 mW of dc power is dissipated. Due to compact layout design, the chip size is only 0.48 mm².

This paper is proposed the speed and position sensorless control of surface permanent magnet synchronous motor(SPMSM) with adaptive fuzzy and observer. A adaptive fuzzy controller is applied for speed control of SPMSM drive. A adaptive state observer is used for the mechanical state estimation of the motor. The observer was developed based on nonlinear model of SPMSM, that employs a d - q rotating reference frame attached to the rotor. A adaptive observer is implemented to compute the speed and position feedback signal. The validity of the proposed sensorless scheme is confirmed by various response characteristics.

In this paper, we present an integrated rail-to-rail fully differential operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) working at low-supply voltages (1.5 V) with reduced power consumption and showing high DC gain. An embedded adaptive biasing circuit makes it possible to obtain low stand-by power dissipation (lower than 0.17 mW in the rail-to-rail version), while the high DC gain (over 78 dB) is ensured by positive feedback. The circuit, fabricated in a standard CMOS integrated technology (AMS 0.35 ${\mu}m$), presents a 37 V/${\mu}s$ slew-rate for a capacitive load of 15 pF. Experimental results and high values of two quality factors, or figures of merit, show the validity of the proposed OTA, when compared with other OTA configurations.
