Abstract. In this paper, we study an identification problem for schematics with different concurring topologies. A framework is proposed, that is both supported by mathematical optimization and machine learning algorithms. Through the use of Python libraries, such as scikit-rf, which allows for the emulation of network analyzer measurements, and a physical microstrip line simulation on PCBs, data for training and testing the framework are provided. In addition to an individual treatment of the concurring topologies and subsequent comparison, a method is introduced to tackle the identification of the optimum topology directly via a standard optimization or machine learning setup: An encoder-decoder sequence is trained with schematics of different topologies, to generate a flattened representation of the rated graph representation of the considered schematics. Still containing the relevant topology information in encoded (i.e., flattened) form, the so obtained latent space representations of schematics can be used for standard optimization of machine learning processes. Using now the encoder to map schematics on latent variables or the decoder to reconstruct schematics from their latent space representation, various machine learning and optimization setups can be applied to treat the given identification task. The proposed framework is presented and validated for a small model problem comprising different circuit topologies.

Abstract. The effects of parameters affecting the input impedance of a power delivery network (PDN) are investigated. It is considered that the size of the power plane and the number of associated planes in the PCB layout, apart from the decoupling capacitor, have an effect on the impedance behavior within a certain frequency range. An artificial neural network (ANN) is trained using the generated data utilizing a process to generate suitable input for training a machine learning (ML) module, which is able to predict the impedance profile of the PDN. In order to obtain a more accurate prediction, Bayesian optimization is implemented and the results are compared to commercial power integrity (PI) software.

Abstract. Printed circuit board (PCB) design can be supported to a high degree by adding AI modules to the design system. Predictions from these modules can be made available to the designer in order to speed up circuit design and make it more efficient. Problems regarding signal integrity (SI) can be detected in time by providing hints on component connection or routing. However, the optimization and ML methods used in this context are usually very sophisticated (e.g., Bayesian optimization). Therefore, the design parameters provided by the AI modules must be accepted without further insights (for the experienced as well as the inexperienced designer). In this paper, a decision tree for anomaly detection and SI verification is presented, which by nature of this algorithm provides insights to the decisions made to obtain the proposed design parameters. Using a point-to-point (P2P) network as an example, the prediction accuracy of the AI model is investigated. It is shown that assessing SI effects with a decision tree provides a simple approach to obtain the suggested design. Furthermore, the predictions of the decision tree can be verified against the design rules.

Abstract. Continuous-time integrators are a central component in ΔΣ modulators, in analog computers, and general analog signal processing. If several integrators are interconnected, scaling plays an important role: In analog computers, scaling is performed with respect to the machine unit (MU). In ΔΣ modulators, scaling is performed in such a way that at maximum input signal the allowable dynamic range of no integrator is exceeded. In both cases the scaling is a compromise limiting the dynamic range. For analog computers, it was proposed early on to extend the dynamic range by hybrid integrators. Here, an analog range overflow is processed digitally and the analog integrator is reduced to its permissible operating range within the machine unit interval. While in earlier proposals for hybrid integrators only the subsequent integrator stage processes the overflow and works with reduced analog values, our hybrid integrator can process the overflow directly, with the analog reset process being continuous-time. In the case of highly dynamical input signals and transients, analog overload handling is further improved by a prediction of the overload that includes the currently applied input signal in the calculation. For example, with continuous-time ΔΣ modulators, overload of the analog integrator can be reliably avoided.

Abstract. THz generation by difference frequency generation can be accomplished by many different laser systems. The most cost efficient and compact solution will be monolithic dual-colour lasers. Application of these lasers in THz metrology can suffer from several drawbacks like coupling between the modes, strong amplitude variations, low tuning capabilities, or a complicated growth process. We discuss the impact of these points for THz measurements and present a simple monolithic dual colour laser which can be used for material characterisations.

Abstract. In the last decade, waveguide thermoelectric power sensors have been established as an alternative to thermistor mounts for millimeter wave power standards, and due to the detection principle and the nature of waveguides, the generalized efficiency is used as calibration quantity instead of the effective efficiency. In this paper, the generalized efficiency and the measurement uncertainty of waveguide thermoelectric sensors are presented and applied to calibrate other types of power sensors in a measurement set-up for frequency up to 170 GHz. Results for commercially available waveguide power sensors are discussed for the interfaces R 900 and R 1.4k.

Abstract. On 29 October 1923, radio broadcasting or “Rundfunk” was officially opened in the Voxhaus in Berlin and thus the new communication medium was now also available in Germany, but later than in other countries such as the US and the UK. However, first experiments with wireless telephony, which is the technical basis of this medium, were carried out more than ten years earlier (Pungs, 1922; Mathis, 2019; Titze and Mathis, 2020; Mathis and Titze, 2021). One of the pioneers of this technology was the German Egbert von Lepel, who developed in 1907 a new concept of wireless transmitters that was also suitable for use in wireless telephony. The concept later became known as the quenched spark-gap transmitter (“Löschfunkensender”) or ”Singing Spark” transmitter where a specific variant was developed by the Gesellschaft für Drahtlose Telegraphie (GDT: “Wireless Telegraph Society”), System Telefunken. This article discusses the history of this type of transmitter using new historical sources from national and international archives. It turns out that contrary to what is known on this subject from almost all publications on the history of early wireless technology, the German Imperial Patent Office decided in January 1911 that Lepel's patent was granted as the most fundamental for quenched spark-gap transmitters. With the disclosure of this important historical source, the question of the origin of the invention of the quenched spark-gap transmitter must be reassessed.
摘要。1923年10月29日，无线电广播或“Rundfunk”在柏林的Voxhaus正式开放，因此新的通信媒介现在在德国也可以使用，但比美国和英国等其他国家晚。然而，作为这种媒介的技术基础的无线电话的第一次实验早在十多年前就进行了(Pungs, 1922;马修斯,2019;Titze and Mathis, 2020;马西斯和蒂策，2021)。这项技术的先驱之一是德国人埃格伯特·冯·莱佩尔，他在1907年提出了一种新的无线发射机概念，这种概念也适用于无线电话。这个概念后来被称为淬灭火花隙发射机(“Löschfunkensender”)或“唱歌火花”发射机，其中一个特定的变体是由Gesellschaft f r Drahtlose Telegraphie (GDT:“无线电报协会”)，System Telefunken开发的。本文利用国家和国际档案中新的历史资料来讨论这种类型的发射机的历史。事实证明，与几乎所有关于早期无线技术历史的出版物所知的相反，德国帝国专利局在1911年1月决定授予Lepel的专利为淬灭火花隙发射机的最基本专利。随着这一重要历史来源的披露，必须重新评估熄灭火花隙变送器发明的起源问题。

Abstract. In this work, a synthetic aperture radar setup is used for analyzing the mmWave scattering of road surfaces in the automotive 77 GHz band in the laboratory. With this setup, samples of concrete roads in two different surface conditions are investigated, determining the variances in reflectivity depending on material composition and surface structure. Afterward, the distribution of these variations is fitted using probability density functions, namely normal and rayleigh distribution fits. Consequently, the diffuse scattering behavior of concrete roads can be described mathematically. Additionally, previously presented porous asphalt roads are compared and fitted analogously to get a summary of the scattering for all common road surfaces in Germany. Furthermore, a validation of the measurement and the processing by analyzing particularly generated reference samples is performed.

Abstract. We analyse 43 years of mesosphere/lower thermosphere (MLT) horizontal winds obtained from a joint analysis of low frequency (LF) spaced receiver lower ionospheric drift measurements from late 1978 through 2008 and VHF meteor radar wind observations since summer 2004 at Collm (51.3∘ N, 13.0∘ E). Due to limitations of the earlier LF measurements, we restrict ourselves to the analysis of monthly mean winds near 90 km, which represents the meteor peak height as well as mean LF reflection heights in the MLT. We observe mainly positive trends of the zonal prevailing wind throughout the year, while the meridional winds tend to decrease in magnitude in both summer and winter. Furthermore, there is a change in long-term trends around the late 1990s, which is most clearly visible in summer MLT winds. We compare these measurements with long-term partial reflection radar observations of winds at 81–85 km over Juliusruh (54.6∘ N, 13.4∘ E) since 1990, and find general qualitative agreement of trends except for summer. The latter can be explained by the different altitudes considered, and by the latitude dependence of the summer mesospheric jet.

Abstract. This contribution discusses the approximation of radiated by conducted immunity tests by the example of High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) and Direct Current Injection (DCI) based on a surface current analysis. For this purpose, Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is applied to provide basis functions for a surface current expansion in Characteristic Modes. Via a matrix-based basis transformation algorithm involving Characteristic Mode data of both HIRF and DCI test setups, suitable DCI surface currents are derived. The approximation of HIRF surface currents by the computed DCI surface currents is analyzed for exemplary DUTs over a broad frequency range. Within this frequency range, those DCI frequencies leading to an optimal approximation of the HIRF current are determined. Concerning practical issues in DCI testing, the influence of DCI adapter parameters on the surface current approximation is elucidated. The numerical results show that DCI can approximate HIRF at low frequencies largely independent from the DCI adapter setting, whereas at high frequencies an approximation is difficult to realize.
