This study newly presents a synthetic phase tuning technique to suppress the unwanted torsional mode while enhancing the desired torsional mode in a pipe. Specifically, we aim at the enhancement of the first torsional mode and the suppression of the undesired, second torsional mode. Earlier efforts were to enhance the desired wave mode only in the hope that the enhancement results in the suppression of the unwanted wave mode. Unlike these efforts, the suggested technique makes the complete cancellation of the unwanted wave mode but it is shown to enhance the desired first mode for torsional wave problems. In the present study, the synthetic phase tuning is developed for the cancellation of the unwanted wave mode, meaning that the number of necessary experimental equipments is reduced. Simulation and experiment were carried out to check the effectiveness of the proposed method. As an application of the suggested technique, we investigated the reflection and mode conversion characteristics of the first torsional mode according to the step thickness variation in a stepped pipe.

A new CMOS voltage-bias differential LC voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) with active source degeneration is proposed. The proposed degeneration technique preserves the quality factor of the LC-tank which leads to improvement in phase noise of VCO oscillators. The proposed VCO shows the high figure of merit (FOM) with large tuning range, low power, and small chip size compared to those of conventional voltage-bias differential LC-VCO. The proposed VCO implemented in 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS shows the phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset oscillating at 5.03 GHz, tuning range of 12%, occupies 0.15 $mm^2$ of chip area while dissipating 1.44 mW from 0.8 V supply.

In this paper, we presented a Vt-DRO with a wide electrical frequency tuning range, using open-loop gain method. The Vt-DRO was composed of 3-stages, resonator, amplifier and phase shifter. In order to satisfy an oscillation condition, we determined magnitude and phase of each stage. The measured S-parameter of cascaded 3-stages shows open-loop oscillation condition. Also, using measured open loop group delay, we derived the relation for electrical frequency tuning range. The Vt-DRO was implemented by connecting the input and the output of the designed open-loop and resulted in closed-loop. As a results, tuning-range of Vt-DRO is 82 MHz, which is close to the predicted results for tuning voltage 0${\sim}$10 V and shows linear frequency tuning at the center frequency of 5.3 GHz. The phase noise is -104 ${\pm}$1 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and power is 5.86${\pm}$1 dBm respectively.

In this paper, we present a fuzzy logic based tuner for continuous on-line tuning of PID controllers. The essential idea of the scheme is to parameterize a Ziegler-Nichols-like tuning formula by a singler parameter .alpha., then to use an on line fuzzy logic to self-tune the parameter. The adaptive scaling makes the controller robust against large variations in parametric and dynamics uncertainties in the plant model. New self-tuning controller has the ability to decide when to use PI or PID control by extracting process dynamics from relay experiments. These scheme lead to improved performance of the transient and steady state behavior of the closed loop system, including processes with nonminimum phase processes.

This paper, Part 1, describes the effective dual-input PSS parameter design procedure for the IEEE Type PSS2A against the Dangjin 612 MVA thermal plant's EX2000 excitation system. The suggested tuning technique used the model-based PSS tuning method and consisted of three steps: 1) generation system modeling; 2) determination of PSS2A model parameters using linear, time-domain transient and 3-phase simultaneous analyses, and 3) field testing and verification, which are described in Part 2. The effective PSS2A model parameters of EX2000 system in the Dangjin T/P #4 were designed according to the suggested procedure, and verified by using three analyses.

In this paper, we propose a new varactor coupled line structure and design the VCO using the proposed structure. The proposed coupled line structure removes the reflected signals from the varactor diode using an added $\lambda$/4 transmission line. The frequency synthesizers are designed using the PLL technique at Ku-band. The synthesizer using the proposed coupled structure has 38 MHz frequency tuning range and -97 dBc/Hz phase noise characteristic at 100 KHz offset frequency. The measured results show improved tuning range as well as the improved phase noise characteristics compared to the conventional designs.

The forward convener is one of power supplies used widely. This paper presents parameter tuning methods to obtain optimal circuit element values for the forward converter to minimize the output voltage variation under various load changing environments. The conventional method using the concept of the phase margin is extended to have optimal phase margin that gives slightly improved performance in the output voltage response. For this, the phase margin becomes the tuning parameter and is optimized with the genetic algorithm. Next, the circuit element values are directly chosen as the tuning parameters and also optimized using the genetic algorithm to have very improved performance in the output voltage control of the forward converter.

This paper presents a direct multivariable self-tuning controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the higher order multivariable nonlinear system with nonminimum phase behavior, mutual interactions and time delays. The nonlinearities are assumed to be globally bounded, and a multivariable nonlinear system is divided linear part and nonlinear part. The neural network is used to estimate the controller parameters, and the control output is obtained through estimated controller parameter. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm the computer simulation is done to adapt the multivariable nonlinear nonminimm phase system with time delays and changed system parameter after a constant time. The proposed method compared with direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network.
