The Power Amplifier (PA) is a Radio Frequency (RF) circuit and its main goal is to drive the transmitter's (Tx) antenna. It faces a trade-off between spectral efficiency and power saving. Digital Cartesian Feedback (CFB) presents itself as a good linearization system when using narrowband signals in portable or mobile devices. This work starts with the validation of a digital CFB linearization system using a Proportional and Integrative (PI) controller, which is able to decrease spectral side lobes of at least 20dB. Next, non-linearities are added to the elements in the transmission chain in the forward and feedback paths, and the same regulator is used to linearize the system. Finally, the imperfections on the feedback are removed. The results start by validating the digital CFB linearization system, so that different configurations of non-linearities can be simulated and compared. The system operates with 4QAM and 16QAM modulation, raised cosine filter, PA modeled using Salehs equation and a PI regulator.

a hybrid algorithm for primary user detection in spectrum sensing is proposed in this article, and its performance for different types of primary signals is evaluated and compared. The hybrid algorithm is a combination of the energy detection and the cyclostationarity-based methods. In the majority of related works, the input signal for the energy detection is modeled with a lognormal distribution without considering the cyclostationarity of signal. However, primary signals may have other behaviors with different cyclostationarity levels. Those behaviors depend on the modulation scheme used and the traffic statistics of the primary user. Therefore, the hybrid method is evaluated considering several input signal models, which provide different levels of cyclostationarity. Additionally, a measured signal is used for evaluating the energy detection and the proposed method. The performance of the proposed method shows a detection gain in relation to the energy detection. The proposed method takes advantage of the higher accuracy of cyclostationarity method and the simplicity of energy detection. The obtained results are important in the investigation of a more generic and more accurate method for detecting primary users in systems such as wireless sensor networks.

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is a recent trend of RAN architecture positioned to help the operators to address challenges of new wireless services, such as emerging 4G and 5G mobile networks. C-RAN uses baseband processing units in a central server which connects to the radio front-ends at cell sites via the so-called fronthaul network. The fronthaul infrastructure is currently provided by CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) and OBSAI (Open Basestation Architecture Initiative) industry standards which use dedicated optical links with high deployment costs. An alternative is to use Ethernet technology aiming to reuse of network infrastructure available in many commercial buildings. However, in contrast to the traditional synchronous fronthaul, Ethernet suffers with packet delay variation (PDV) and challenging synchronization recovery. This work presents a complete and flexible testbed to evaluate Ethernet-based fronthaul. The system is validated via extensive measurements that show the effects of synchronization procedures and network impairments on regenerated clock phase noise.

Grounding systems play an important role in electrical substations. They prevent grounding potential rise (GPR) during current fault events. GPR can cause the known step or touch voltages that can hurt people around the substations. Over time, grounding systems suffer from degradation such as materials erosion. This work proposes a new data acquisition system for continuously monitoring grounding grids in energized substations. The proposed system is based on a wireless sensor network that periodically measures both the current going to ground and the GPR in many points of the grid and then transmits the measurements for a coordinator that is connected to a gateway computer. This system enables remote and continuous evaluation of the grounding grid. The system has been implemented and evaluated with respect to its transmission and instrumentation modules.

The advance in wireless sensor networking technology is increasing the number of control systems that use these networks to transmit the relevant variable to be measured and controlled, despite of the more intense distortions caused by wireless channels. The performance of wireless communications systems is mainly limited by fading produced by multipath propagation. In order to minimize the fading effects, channel coding and diversity techniques are often used in wireless systems. Among the known coding techniques in the literature, the wavelet coding presents an interesting alternative to overcome the multipath fading, since it gets performance gain by transmitting in time diversity without compromising spectral efficiency. This paper investigates the use of wavelet coding in a system that operates over a wireless channel to control the rotation frequency of the direct current motor. Aspects such as packet error probability performance, hardware complexity and processing delays due to wavelet coding are analyzed, as well as its beneficial effects on the control system. In the proposed system, the wavelet coding was embedded in PIC microcontroller and a radio transceiver XBee is used to establish a wireless link. The obtained results demonstrate a reduction of fading effects on the control signal, as well as, a low cost for hardware implementation and a small impact on system processing time.

The Thermal Sigma-Delta (TΣΔ) modulator is a thermal-electric system where the resistive element performs in the thermal domain part of the ΣΔ modulator (sum and integration). In this work, we propose the modeling and we perform simulations of 1st and 2nd order TΣΔ modulators using bolometers as the thermal-electric device. This study has the purpose of achieving a complete solution of a bolometer with increased sensitivity, while providing a digital output, using only thermal sigma-delta converters, which is suitable solution to integrated transducers.

This paper describes equipment and method for an automatic three-dimensional object positioning system using two-dimensional visual feedback provided by a single camera. This is one variation of the vision-based position control technique, which is widely used in many robotics applications for object manipulation. The instrumentation here presented handles the automatic positioning of a nanometric scanning probe over a laser spot, using visual information to provide feedback for a control logic. This procedure is one of the necessary setup steps to perform Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS), which requires a nanoantenna to be positioned at a distance of only a few nanometers away from the sample, and located at the center of a laser spot. The proposed methodology is then tested on an experimental TERS setup, illustrating the method's performance.

A new design of self-tuning impedance matching for wireless power transfer is investigated. The system efficiency was numerically calculated by varying the distance between the system transmitter/receiver with self-tuning and without it. This work introduces an analytic and numerical design of a device for wireless power transfer with self-tuning by capacitance, based on MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm. The results show an increase of efficiency at 35.55% in 2 meters distance between transmitter and receiver devices when compared with a device without self-tuning.

Monitoring the milk quality is of fundamental importance in the food industry since milk is one of the most common product in a daily diet. The control of milk composition and detection of adulteration in raw materials are crucial in order to assure the quality of dairy based products. Different technologies for the monitoring of milk constituents in substitution of chemical processes have been reported. Recent studies showed that microwave sensors have a good potential for measuring the milk moisture content. Here, we proposed a measurement system using a resonant cavity sensor for the determination of total solids and fat contents. Its main advantages comprises non-invasive and non-destructive characteristics and fast response. Additionally, the geometry of the cavity is adapted for easy deployment in industrial facilities. We used nine characterized milk samples in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the system. The results showed a good correlation between the system response and the volume fractions of total solids and fat constituents, proving that the system is a useful platform for the analysis of milk quality.

Low-cost technology that can monitor a wide range of environments, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become increasingly common and studies on it have increased a lot. Due to the cost and time required to deploy a WSN in physical environments, the network simulators, such as the popular Network Simulator 2 (NS-2), have been adopted for evaluation of WSNs. NS-2 is a widely accepted and used network simulation tool. The IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technology has been used for implementation of WSNs and NS-2 supports simulation of WSNs based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, but the execution of simulations on this standard may not be an easy task for new users. This paper presents WINSS (Wireless Network Sensor Simulator), a simulation tool of the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard for NS-2.
