In this study, the output voltage balancing characteristics of parallel-input series-output (PISO) boost converter is analyzed. The PISO boost converter is derived by combining two basic boost converters. In comparison with the conventional three-level boost converter, the PISO boost converter can balance the output voltages under an unbalanced load condition without requiring additional circuit components and control strategy. A 2 kW prototype converter is built and tested to verify the output voltage balancing characteristics of the PISO boost converter.

In this study, we propose a two degree of freedom robust output tracking control method for a class of nonlinear system. We consider hyperbolically nonminimum phase single-input single-output uncertain nonlinear systems. We also consider the case that the nominal input-state equation is differentially flat. Nominal stable state trajectory is obtained in the flat output space via the flat output. Nominal feedforward control input is also computed from the nominal state trajectory. Due to the nature of the method, the generated flat output trajectory and control input are noncausal. Robust feedback control is designed to stabilize the systems around the nominal trajectory. A numerical example is given is given to demonstrate that robust tracking is achieved.

In multi-hop communication systems, two-way relaying is one of the solutions to mitigate the spectral efficiency loss caused by a half-duplex transmission. In this paper, a simple two-way relaying scheme is proposed for two-hop two-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, a base station and a relay station (RS), both equipped with two antennas, form a point-to-point MIMO channel, while the RS and two single-antenna mobile users form a point-to-multipoint multiuser (MU)-MIMO channel. Numerical examples show that the proposed system achieves a significant sum rate gain as compared to a one-way relaying system as the distance between a relay and the two users decreases. We also show that although we can expand the proposed scheme to more than two users, its performance gain as compared to that of one-way relaying decreases with an increase in the number of users.

An electronically tunable current-mode second-order multifunctional filter is described in this paper. The proposed filter consists of two four-terminal floating nullors (FTFNs), two dual-output OTAs and two grounded capacitors. The circuit can simultaneously realize the lowpass, bandpass and highpass current transfer functions from the same configuration without changing the circuit configuration and elements. The natural angular frequency we and the parameter wo/Q can be orthogonally controlled through adjusting the transconductance gain of OTA. PSPICE simulation results are employed to confirm the circuit performance.

The well-conditioned observer design method is extended for two-output systems where observer gains are not determined uniquely with respect to the desired observer poles. Similar to the previous results, this design method makes off-diagonal elements of the observer upper-left submatrix skew-symmetric and simulataneously, places the eigenvalues of the observer matrix widely separated by selecting upper two rows of the observer gain. The proposed design method is evaluated in a spindle-drive example where the load speed is estimated based on motor speed and the armature current.

This paper proposes a new structure of a fiber-optic illuminator using high Lux RGB LEDs. A simulation program, LightTools, is used for the verification of the model. An LED mounting holder containing 74 RGB LEDs is used as a basic part of its light collector. Since the light output level of current LED lamps is still far below that of conventional lamps, it is required to double the right output in order to replace a conventional illuminator with a halogen lamp. An additional cone-type reflector is installed hemispherically and the resulting structure comprises a basic collector unit. To further increase the output two collector units are connected together in series. As the result, the light output increases nearly 70% with compared to a collector with a basic structure. The system efficiency can be increased more than 8 times with compared to conventional one.

Herein, we consider uplink multiuser massive multiple-input multiple-output systems when multiple users transmit information symbols to a base station (BS) by applying simple space-time block coding (STBC). At the BS receiver, two detection filters for each user are used to detect the STBC information symbols. One of these filters is for odd-indexed symbols and the other for even-indexed symbols. Using constrained output variance metric minimization, we first derive a special relation between the closed-form optimal solutions for the two detection filters. Then, using the derived special relation, we propose a new blind adaptive algorithm for implementing the minimum output variance-based optimal filters. In the proposed adaptive algorithm, filter weight vectors are updated only in the region satisfying the special relation. Through a theoretical analysis of the convergence speed and a computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme exhibits faster convergence speed and lower steady-state bit error rate than the conventional scheme.

This paper considers the problem of robust $H_{\infty}$ control for uncertain 2-D discrete systems in the General Model via output feedback controllers. The parameter uncertainty is assumed to be norm-bounded. The purpose is the design of output feedback controllers such that the closed-loop system is stable while satisfying a prescribed $H_{\infty}$ performance level. In terms of a linear matrix inequality, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the problem is obtained, and an explicit expression of desired output feedback controllers is given. An example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

An interleaved DC/DC converter with series-connected transformers is presented to implement the features of zero voltage switching (ZVS), load current sharing and ripple current reduction. The proposed converter includes two half-bridge converter cells connected in series to reduce the voltage stress of the switches at one-half of the input voltage. The output sides of the two converter cells with interleaved pulse-width modulation are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at the output capacitor and to achieve load current sharing. Therefore, the size of the output chokes and the capacitor can be reduced. The output capacitances of the MOSFETs and the resonant inductances are resonant at the transition instant to achieve ZVS turn-on. In addition, the switching losses on the power switches are reduced. Finally, experiments on a laboratory prototype (24V/40A) are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper describes two algorithms for technology mapping of multiple output functions into interesting and pupular FPGAs(Field Programmable Gate Array) that use look-yp table memories. For improvement of technology mapping for FPGA, we use the functional decompoition method for multiple output functions. Two algorithms are proposed. The one is the Roth-Karpalgorithm extended for multiple output functions. The other is the efficient algorithm which looks for common decomposition functions through the decomposition procedure. The cost function is used to minimize the number of CLBs and nets and to improve performance of the network. Finally we compare our new algorithm with previous logic design technique. Experimental resutls show sigificant reduction in the number of CLBs and nets.
