Since designing a feedback topology is a practical way to implement interference alignment at reduced cost of channel state information (CSI) feedback, six feedback topologies have been presented in prior works for a K-user multiple-input multiple-output interference channel. To fully reveal the potential benefits of the feedback topology in terms of the saving of CSI overhead, we propose a new feedback topology in this paper. By efficiently performing dimensionality-decreasing at the transmitter side and aligning interference signals at a subset of receivers, we show that the proposed feedback topology obtains substantial reduction of feedback cost over the existing six feedback designs under the same antenna configuration.

An ultra-compact milimeter-wave broadband MMIC amplifier was designed using a direct-coupled topology combined with optimum feedback design. Significant reductionin the chip size was possible by employing the direct-coupled topology. Bias resistors required for the direct-coupled topology were also used as feedback elements. Feedback was optimized for millimeter-wave frequencies using reactive elements. The fabricated MMIC amplifier was realized in a chip size of 0.8mm$^{[-992]}$ and showed gains higher than 8 dB from 12 to 44 GHz. An output power of 30mW was achieved at 44 GHz with a drain efficiency of 10%.

A variable gain amplifier(VGA) for wireless LAN is designed using active feedback. The amplifier is controlled by the gate voltage in the feedback path. This amplifier has more than 30㏈ gain variation and a improved linearity in the RF receiver block as input voltage increases. An active feedback topology is used by P-HEMT and is also analyzed for FET equivalent model.

In this paper, the diode bridge-type ZVT(Zero-Voltage Transition) inverter is proposed. It consists of one auxiliary switch, three resonant inductors and six blocking diodes. So, the advantage of the proposed topology is the reduction of the auxiliary switch. The topology of the proposed ZVT inverter is analyzed with a description of the control conditions based on the load current. Therefore, this paper two control algorithms were discussed. A variable resonant pattern control algorithm by using load current feedback and a resonant period control algorithm by using resonant inductor current feedback is proposed in order to achieve the ZVT switching condition in full control range and the reducing current spike main switches cause by reverse recovery problem.

Recently, the demand for low-voltage, high-capacity ESS is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of the e-mobility industry, which is mainly powered by electricity. In addition, the demand for portable power banks is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of leisure industries such as camping and fishing. The ESS with this structure consists of a small number of series cells and many parallel cells, resulting in a system with a large rated current. Therefore, the number of power devices for cell balancing configured in series is small, but a balancing device with a large current capacity is required. Construction of a constant temperature device in such a low-voltage, high-current ESS is difficult due to economic issues. The demand for an active balancing system that can solve the passive balancing heating problem is rapidly increasing. In this paper, propose a power feedback fly-back topology that can solve the balancing heating problem. The characteristic of the proposed topology is that a series-connected voltage sharing voltage is used as the input of the flyback converter, and the converter output is connected to one transformer. In this structure, the converter output for cell voltage balancing shares magnetic flux through one high-frequency transformer, so the cell voltage connected to the converter automatically converges to the same voltage.

A X-band 3-stage monolithic LNA (low noise amplifier) with series feedback has been successfully desined and demonstrated by suign 0.5-$\mu\textrm{m}$ GaAs MESFET. In the design of the 3-stage LNA, the effects of series feedback to the noise figure, the gain, and the stability have been investigated ot find the optimal short stub length. As a result, the inductive series feedback topology which has 10degree short stub in the GaAs MESFET source lead, has been employed in the 1-st stage. The fabricated MMIC LNA's chip size is only 1mm$^{2}$/stage, which is smaller than the previously reported X-band MMIC input/output return losses are less than -10dB and -15dB, respectively. The noise figure (NF) is less than 2.6dB. The measured data show good agreement with the simulated values.

We propose an architecture that reduces the power consumption and active area of such a modulator through a reduction in the number of active components and a simplification of the topology. The proposed architecture reduces the power consumption and active area by reducing the number of active components and simplifying the modulator topology. A novel second-order loop filter that uses a single operational amplifier resonator reduces the number of active elements and enhances the controllability of the transfer function. A trapezoidal-shape half-delayed return-to-zero feedback DAC eliminates the loop-delay compensation circuitry and improves pulse-delay sensitivity. These simple features of the modulator allow higher frequency operation and more design flexibility. Implemented in a 130 nm CMOS technology, the prototype modulator occupies an active area of $0.098mm^2$ and consumes 5.23 mW power from a 1.2 V supply. It achieves a dynamic range of 62 dB and a peak SNDR of 60.95 dB over a 15 MHz signal bandwidth with a sampling frequency of 780 MHz. The figure-of-merit of the modulator is 191 fJ/conversion-step.

To interpret the perception that originates from tactile sensibility during people touch and recognize the object surfaces, this study focuses on the development of a friction model that can describe the interaction of a stylus pen sliding over the counter surfaces. In addition, the study includes several other experimental factors such as the pressure, temperature, and topology of surface, which can have an effect on the emotional user experience concerning various surfaces; this research aims to suggest a method to quantitatively evaluate the relation between these experimental parameters and emotional user experience. Accordingly, the objective of research comprises the friction characteristic technology for measurement of fine tribological behavior and a standard to quantify the emotional feedback. Existing panels or input devices that provide interaction feedback about user actions simply operate with a single frequency vibration or sound response. On the contrary, this research investigates various interaction characteristics including friction force, frequency, and surface topology synthetically. Using the developed model, which can explain the relation between the friction parameters and emotional user experience, developers can design their product in order to provide the user with expected emotional sensibility. Consequently, it can contribute to reduce the development cost about sensitivity model.

We designed a 500W zero voltage switching DC / DC converter operating at 100Mhz with phase shift topology using UCC3895 driver. The dead time of the UCC3895 driver is designed so that the leading and lagging leg of the full bridge can be driven separately. So, the dead time can be given between the two legs separately. The dead time, which is an asymmetrical relationship between the two legs, enables the implementation of zero voltage switching. This paper proposed a negative feedback circuit design method for stable output voltage. The maximum efficiency of the prototype was 95.5% at $500{\Omega}$ load.

A multiple-output LDO regulator is a good choice in terms of the efficiency in embedded systems requiring various supply voltages. A small feedback factor in LDO incurs the long settling time, resulting in large ripples in the time-multiplexing strategy. A new proposed topology enhances the settling time, and hence the ripples by incorporating the constant feedback factor with different reference voltages. The simulation results of a prototype design in a standard $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process verify that the proposed strategy enhances the settling time and ripple characteristic by more than doubled than a conventional circuit using the feedback factor of less than 0.4.
