Purpose This paper aims to investigate the singular Hopf bifurcation and mixed mode oscillations (MMOs) in the perturbed Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) circuit. There is a singular periodic orbit constructed by the switching between the stable focus and large amplitude relaxation cycles. Using a generalized fast/slow analysis, the authors show the generation mechanism of two distinct kinds of MMOs. Design/methodology/approach The parametric modulation can be used to generate complicated dynamics. The BVP circuit is constructed as an example for second-order differential equation with periodic perturbation. Then the authors draw the bifurcation parameter diagram in terms of a containing two attractive regions, i.e. the stable relaxation cycle and the stable focus. The transition mechanism and characteristic features are investigated intensively by one-fast/two-slow analysis combined with bifurcation theory. Findings Periodic perturbation can suppress nonlinear circuit dynamic to a singular periodic orbit. The combination of these small oscillations with the large amplitude oscillations that occur due to canard cycles yields such MMOs. The results connect the theory of the singular Hopf bifurcation enabling easier calculations of where the oscillations occur. Originality/value By treating the perturbation as the second slow variable, the authors obtain that the MMOs are due to the canards in a supercritical case or in a subcritical case. This study can reveal the transition mechanism for multi-time scale characteristics in perturbed circuit. The information gained from such results can be extended to periodically perturbed circuits.
目的研究微扰Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP)电路中的Hopf奇异分岔和混合模振荡(MMOs)。通过稳定焦点和大振幅弛豫循环的切换,形成了一个奇异周期轨道。作者通过快速/慢速分析,展示了两种不同类型mmo的生成机制。设计/方法/途径参数调制可用于生成复杂的动力学。构造了具有周期扰动的二阶微分方程的BVP电路。然后绘制了包含稳定松弛循环和稳定焦点两个吸引区域的分岔参数图。采用一快两慢分析方法,结合分岔理论,深入研究了其跃迁机理和特征。发现周期扰动可以抑制非线性电路动态到奇异周期轨道。这些小振荡与鸭式循环引起的大振幅振荡相结合,产生了这样的mmo。结果与奇异Hopf分岔理论相联系,使振荡发生位置的计算更加容易。独创性/价值通过将扰动作为第二个慢变量,作者得出了在超临界情况下或在亚临界情况下,模态偏差是由鸭翼引起的。该研究揭示了微扰电路多时间尺度特性的过渡机制。从这样的结果中获得的信息可以扩展到周期性摄动电路。

Purpose This paper aims to propose a bidirectional hidden converter (BHC)-based three-phase DC–AC conversion for energy storage application. BHC is the new concept to vary an energy storage device voltage into wide range. Hidden converter power loss and power rating are reduced by using zero-sequence injection-based carrier-based pulse-width modulation (CBPWM) strategy. Design/methodology/approach By using this control strategy, a BHC processes only little amount of power during double-stage conversion, mostly during direct or single-stage conversion of the three-phase three-port converter (TPTPC) only processing the maximum power. Findings TPTPC consists of two sets of positive group switches for inversion process, one set of switches is regular inverter switches called vertical positive group switches, and the second set is anti-series switches, which are horizontally connected for direct or single-stage conversion. Originality/value Characteristics, principles and implementations of proposed DC–AC 3Ø conversion system and its PWM strategy are analyzed. Through experimental outputs, the effectiveness and viability of the proposed solutions are validated.

Purpose Successive Approximation Register-Analog to Digital Converter (SAR-ADC) has been achieved notable technological advancement since the past couple of decades. However, it’s not accurate in terms of size, energy, and time consumption. Many projects proposed to make it energy efficient and time-efficient. Such designs are unable to deliver two parallel outputs. Design/methodology/approach To this end, this study introduced an ultra-low-power circuitry for the two blocks (bootstrap and comparator) of 11-bit SAR-ADC. The bootstrap has three sub-parts: back-bone, left-wing and right-wing, named as bat-bootstrap. The comparator block has a circuitry of the two comparators and an amplifier, named as comp-lifier. In a bat-bootstrap, the authors plant two capacitors in the back-bone block to avoid the patristic capacitance. The switching system of the proposed design highly synchronized with the short pulses of the clocks for high accuracy. This study simulates the proposed circuits using a built-in Cadence 90 nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor library. Findings The results suggested that the response time of two bat-bootstrap wings and comp-lifier are 80 ns, 120 ns, and 90 ns, respectively. The supply voltage is 0.7 V, wherever the power consumption of bat-bootstrap, comp-lifier and SAR-ADC are 0.3561µW, 0.257µW and 35.76µW, respectively. Signal to Noise and Distortion Ratio is 65 dB with 5 MHz frequency and 25 KS/s sampling rate. The input referred noise of the amplifier and two comparators are 98µVrms, 224µVrms and 224µVrms, respectively. Originality/value Two basic circuit blocks for SAR-ADC are introduced, which fulfill the duality approach and delivered two outputs with highly synchronized clock pulses. The circuit sharing concept introduced for the high performance SAR-ADCs.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design multiplexers (MUXs) based on ternary half subtractor and full subtractor using carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. Design/methodology/approach Conventionally, the binary logic functions are developed by using the binary decision diagram (BDD) systems. Each node in BDD is replaced by 2:1 MUX to implement the digital circuits. Similarly, in the ternary decision diagram, each node has to be replaced by 3:1 MUX. In this paper, ternary transformed BDD is used to design the ternary subtractors using 2:1 MUXs. Findings The performance of the proposed ternary half subtractor and full subtractor using the 2:1 MUX are compared with the 3:1 MUX-based ternary circuits. It has been observed that the delay, power and power delay product values are reduced, respectively, by 67.6%, 84.3%, 94.9% for half subtractor and 67.7%, 70.1%, 90.3% for full subtractor. From the Monte Carlo simulations, it is observed that the propagation delay and power dissipation of the proposed subtractors are increased by increasing the channel length due to process variations. The stability test is also performed and observed that the stability increases as the channel length and diameter are increased. Originality/value The proposed half subtractor and full subtractor show better performance over the existing subtractors.

Purpose Control-signal-to-output-voltage transfer function of the conventional boost converter has at least one right-half plane zero (RHPZ) in the continuous conduction mode which can restrict the open-loop bandwidth of the converter. This problem can complicate the control design for the load voltage regulation and conversely, impact on the stability of the closed-loop system. To remove this positive zero and improve the dynamic performance, this paper aims to suggest a novel boost topology with a step-up voltage gain by developing the circuit diagram of a conventional boost converter. Design/methodology/approach Using a transformer, two different pathways are provided for a classical boost circuit. Hence, the effect of the RHPZ can be easily canceled and the voltage gain can be enhanced which provides conditions for achieving a smaller working duty cycle and reducing the voltage stress of the power switch. Using this technique makes it possible to achieve a good dynamic response compared to the classical boost converter. Findings The observations show that the phase margin of the proposed boost converter can be adequately improved, its bandwidth is largely increased, due to its minimum-phase structure through RHPZ cancellation. It is suitable for fast dynamic response applications such as micro-inverters and fuel cells. Originality/value The introduced method is analytically studied via determining the state-space model and necessary criteria are obtained to achieve a minimum-phase structure.

This problem can complicate the control design for the load voltage regulation and conversely, impact on the stability of the closed-loop system. To remove this positive zero and improve the dynamic performance, this paper aims to suggest a novel boost topology with a step-up voltage gain by developing the circuit diagram of a conventional boost converter.\u0000\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000Using a transformer, two different pathways are provided for a classical boost circuit. Hence, the effect of the RHPZ can be easily canceled and the voltage gain can be enhanced which provides conditions for achieving a smaller working duty cycle and reducing the voltage stress of the power switch. Using this technique makes it possible to achieve a good dynamic response compared to the classical boost converter.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000The observations show that the phase margin of the proposed boost converter can be adequately improved, its bandwidth is largely increased, due to its minimum-phase structure through RHPZ cancellation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a suitable guard trace to reduce the electromagentic interference between two closely spaced high frequency transmission lines. A novel cross-shaped resonator combined via fence is passed down to alleviate far-end and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) in tightly coupled high-speed transmission lines. The distance between the adjacent transmission lines is increased stepwise as a function of trace width. Design/methodology/approach A rectangular-shaped resonator via fence is connected by a guard trace has been proposed to overcome the coupling between the traces that is separated by 2 W. Similarly, by creating a cross-shaped resonator via fence connected by guard trace that reduces the spacing further by 1.5 W. Findings A tightly coupled transmission line structure that needs separation by a designed unit cell structure. Further research needs to be conducted to improve the NEXT, far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and spacing between the transmission lines. Originality/value This study portrays a novel method that combines the resonators via fence with a minimum spacing between the tightly coupled transmission lines which reduce the NEXT and FEXT; thereby reducing the size of the routing area. The resultant test structures are characterized at high frequencies using time domain and frequency domain analysis. The following scattering parameters such as insertion loss, NEXT and FEXT of the proposed method are measured as 1.504 dB, >30 dB and >20 dB, respectively.

Purpose Propagation characteristics of millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies that are being explored for implementing 5G network are quite different from sub 3GHz frequencies in which 4G network is operating, and hence antenna design for mmW 5G network is going to be significantly different. The purpose of this paper is to bring forth the unique challenges and opportunities of planar antenna design for mmW 5G network. Design/methodology/approach A lot of notable contemporary work has been investigated for this study and reported in this paper. A comparison of 4G and 5G technologies has been carried out to understand the difference between the air interface of two technologies that governs the antenna design. Important research gaps found after collating the work already done in the field have been bullet pointed for the use by many researchers working in this direction. Findings Several antenna design considerations have been laid out by the authors of this work, and it has been claimed that mmW 5G antenna design must satisfy these design considerations. In addition, prominent research gaps have been identified and thoroughly discussed. Originality/value As research in the field of mmW antenna design for 5G applications is still evolving, a lot of work is currently being done in this area. This study can prove to be important in understanding different challenges, opportunities and current state-of-art in the field of mmW planar antenna design for 5G cellular communication.
