As a result of the increasing use of electric vehicles, ensuring high-performance speed and torque control of brushless direct current (BLDC) motors has become of great importance for energy efficiency. In order to prevent the torque ripple of the finite control set model predictive current control (FCS-MPCC), commutation moments are detected by Hall effect sensors in conventional methods. However, this method cannot exhibit a long-life structure because of physical strain damaging the sensors and electrical connections. In this study, commutation moments and durations are captured and determined with a new approach. Commutation moments are captured with zero crossing detectors and commutation durations are determined by using the position information obtained from the encoder. Moreover, three-phase back electromotive forces (EMFs) of the BLDC motor applied to FCS-MPCC to predict the stator phase currents are estimated with a novel adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) which has the estimation capability without any speed sensor. Furthermore, another improvement is implemented in the calculation of the cost function of FCS-MPCC by taking into account the difference between the predicted and the reference torque of the BLDC motor different from the conventional MPCC methods. The proposed drive system is tested under different scenarios at various speeds under load torque, stator resistance, and leakage inductance variations in simulation. It is proven by simulation results that phase commutations can be achieved stably with the proposed phase commutation determination method. In addition, the simulation results show that the proposed novel AEKF estimator and the FCS-MPCC in which the cost function is calculated by regarding not only the current error but also the moment error have impressive prediction and control performance, respectively.

With the rise of the Internet and electronic devices, the security of network information is gaining attention, and the true random number generator (TRNG) is playing an increasingly crucial role in information security. TRNG, based on Boolean chaotic entropy source, has drawn significant interest due to its uncomplicated circuit design and minimal hardware resource usage. However, most existing structures consist of two‐input or three‐input logic devices, forming a complex multinode, geometrically symmetric Boolean chaotic network using multiple logic devices. This network configuration results in increased complexity and reduced throughput. This study introduces an entropy source based on Boolean chaos utilizing single‐node and four‐input XOR gates, which can be easily placed and routed on Xilinx Artix‐7 FPGA. It requires only 29 LUTs and 5 DFFs without any postprocessing, achieving a throughput of up to 700 Mb/s. The output of TRNG has successfully passed various tests including the autocorrelation test, NIST SP800‐22, NIST SP800‐90B, AIS‐31, and TESTU01 tests with favorable results. Furthermore, by applying a three‐stage XOR chain postprocessing on Xilinx Spartan‐6 FPGA and Xilinx Virtex‐6 FPGA, it has passed the NIST SP800‐22 and NIST SP800‐90B tests at 300 Mb/s. The structure was also tested using Xilinx Virtex‐6 FPGA under different temperature and voltage conditions, passing the NIST SP800‐90B IID test.

The stepped‐impedance combline band pass filter (BPF) with novel input and output networks based on a new proposed J‐inverter, which increases the center frequency tuning range with constant bandwidth (BW), is discussed. The even and odd mode analysis shows that the stepped resonators provide the necessary conditions for the appropriate coupling coefficient to keep the BW constant. In order to create an appropriate quality factor, the new proposed J‐inverter is used. In the frequency response of the stopband region, three transition zeros (TZs) are generated, which two of TZs are controllable. The proposed tunable BPF has been fabricated on RO4003 substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.38 and 0.813 mm thickness. The size of the filter is compact and is only , where is the guided wavelength at the lower center frequency.

Shadow is a lightweight AND‐RX block cipher adapted for resource‐constrained devices. In this paper, software and hardware optimizations are proposed respectively for Shadow to enhance its implementation performance. For software optimization, this paper first proposes a data pre‐processing scheme based on the structural characteristics of the round function. It further improves the optimization effect of the barrel shifter instruction while simplifying the implementation process of the round function. Note that the optimization strategy is also applicable to other AND‐RX ciphers. Secondly, this paper proposes a new NX operation implementation scheme that can effectively reduce its instruction cycles. In round‐based architecture, experimental results show that our scheme effectively reduces code size by 24.7%, Flash consumption by 12.6%, and total instruction cycles by 25.1%. Meanwhile, in the fully unrolled architecture, our scheme reduces code size by 30.8%, Flash consumption by 29.8%, and total instruction cycles by 28.1%. For hardware optimization, this paper proposes a low‐resource implementation scheme by constructing a generic formula for NX operation. In ASIC implementation, our scheme reduces hardware resources by 72.3%. In FPGA implementation, the number of LUTs and Slices is reduced by 30% and 28.6%, respectively. Overall, the proposed optimization scheme for Shadow has better performance in hardware and software implementation.

Hybridized vehicular power supply (HVPS) are acquiring widespread adoption in various applications such as providing power for passenger or heavy‐duty electric vehicles, more‐electric ships, electrified rolling stocks, and more. Stability analysis is a critical issue for HVPS, but it presents significant challenges due to their prominent high‐dimensional and nonlinear characteristics. This paper presents a large‐signal stability analysis scheme for HVPS of rolling stocks, enabling the assessment of system stability under sudden load changes. Based on the state‐space averaging method, a mathematical model for the large‐signal behavior of the system is established. Subsequently, the small‐signal stability parameter range of the system is determined by analyzing the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. To further analyze the stability of the system during large‐signal disturbances, a nonlinear decoupling transformation approach is employed to decompose the original high‐order state equations into multiple lower‐order equations. For the decoupled lower‐order subsystems, their stability is analyzed using phase portrait, and the region of attraction (ROA) is determined using the inverse trajectory method. Based on the stability analysis results, the controller is enhanced to bring the points outside the ROA back within it, thereby mitigating the transient instability phenomenon of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated using two case studies.

A three‐level bidirectional buck/boost converter (TLBBBC) is suitable for power electronic systems with a high‐voltage DC link for its switches with half voltage. In order to achieve higher efficiency, a novel zero‐voltage switching (ZVS) TLBBBC is proposed in this paper to enable operation with higher switching frequencies. In the proposed ZVS TLBBBC, two identical ZVS cells, each composed of a resonant inductor, two snubber capacitors, and two resonant capacitors, are integrated with the conventional three‐level (TL) topology to enable soft switching in all four switches in both buck and boost modes. Here, one advantage is that soft‐switching conditions are ensured under conventional control methods without using the auxiliary switch or complex control methods. In addition, the soft‐switching region is derived, clearly illustrating the relationship between the duty cycle ratio and the power inductor current that ensures the soft‐switching condition. Hence, the soft‐switching region is beneficial for assisting in ZVS cell design and guiding the converter in running in ZVS. Then, the operation and design considerations of the proposed topology are analyzed in detail. Finally, the experimental results of an 800‐W prototype for both the boost and buck modes are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis.

The general electromagnetic (EM) theory has not yet been applied to the analysis of Class F (CF) power amplifier (PA). In this paper, an alternative approach for CF PA is presented based on the EM theory. Theoretical analysis shows that the CF PA can be divided into two broad categories, forward voltage gain, and reflected voltage gain PA. The existing CF PA belongs to the reflected voltage gain PA. Even though both the CF PAs have the same voltage gain, the PA with forward voltage gain provides higher fundamental power Ps,1@F and drain efficiency PAE@F than that CF PA with reflected voltage gain and Class B PA. This important conclusion is obtained as a result of this analysis, which cannot be explained by available theory in the literature. The theoretical analysis is validated at 2.2 GHz by fabrication and measurements. According to the results, Ps,1@B = 31.8 dBm and PAE@B = 53.27% in Class B PA. In CF PA with reflected voltage gain, Ps,1@F = 30.20 dBm and PAE@F = 48.6%. Both cases have lower power and PAE as compared to new category of CF PA. This new CF PA with forward voltage gain has, Ps,1@F = 33.04 dBm and PAE@F = 63.7%.
一般电磁（EM）理论尚未应用于 F 类（CF）功率放大器（PA）的分析。本文提出了一种基于电磁理论的 CF 功率放大器替代方法。理论分析表明，CF PA 可分为两大类，即正向电压增益 PA 和反射电压增益 PA。现有的 CF PA 属于反射电压增益 PA。尽管两种 CF 功率放大器的电压增益相同，但具有正向电压增益的功率放大器比具有反射电压增益的 CF 功率放大器和 B 类功率放大器提供更高的基本功率 Ps,1@F 和漏极效率 PAE@F。这一重要结论是通过分析得出的，而文献中的现有理论无法解释这一结论。理论分析在 2.2 GHz 频率下通过制造和测量得到了验证。结果显示，在 B 类功率放大器中，Ps,1@B = 31.8 dBm，PAE@B = 53.27%。在具有反射电压增益的 CF 功率放大器中，Ps,1@F = 30.20 dBm，PAE@F = 48.6%。与新型 CF 功率放大器相比，这两种情况的功率和 PAE 都较低。这种新型 CF 功率放大器的正向电压增益为 Ps,1@F = 33.04 dBm，PAE@F = 63.7%。

Power quality issues encompass a spectrum of disturbances that affect the stability and reliability of the power supply. This study explores voltage‐related anomalies, including sags, surges, flickers, unbalances, harmonics, interruptions, and swells, examining their origins, characteristics, and repercussions. These issues arise from a myriad of sources, such as load fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, and grid dynamics. The ramifications of these disturbances extend to equipment malfunctions, reduced operational efficiency, and financial losses. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVRs) are series custom power devices for mitigating these voltage‐related anomalies and use real‐time monitoring and control to quickly inject exact voltages into the grid during disruptions, restoring voltage levels to acceptable levels. This study demonstrates the capacity of DVRs to successfully alleviate power quality concerns, hence improving equipment dependability and system stability by analyzing case studies and simulation findings. The control system used to supply switching signals to the voltage source converter (VSC) of the DVR is based on adaptive Bateman polynomial (ABMP). Traditional DVR control techniques often rely on fixed or linear control strategies, which may not adequately handle varying load conditions and disturbances. ABMP offers an adaptive approach where the control parameters can adjust dynamically based on real‐time system conditions. This adaptive capability enhances the accuracy of voltage restoration, ensuring that the DVR responds optimally to varying loads and disturbances. During voltage sag and swell conditions at the grid side, the VSC injects the compensating voltage in series with the feeder with a constant switching frequency. A battery energy‐supported system (BESS) based DVR is considered for the proposed system. The supply is connected to the critical and sensitive loads. The proposed control scheme is validated through extensive simulation and experimental results.
