Under a distorted grid, the quality of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) output current is severely degraded. The existing grid voltage sampling method exhibits high sensitivity to grid impedance; the virtual impedance method struggles to balance harmonic suppression performance and system stability; and hybrid control method often requires more additional sensors. To address these issues, this paper proposes a grid current negative feedforward control method to suppress current harmonics. First, the impedance model of VSG grid-connected system is established, and its fundamental and harmonic equivalent circuits are derived to analyze the mechanism of harmonic generation. Then, a harmonic voltage compensation term is constructed via negative feedforward control of the grid current, which significantly increases the harmonic output impedance of VSG. The stability of the proposed method is examined utilizing the Nyquist stability criterion, and its sensitivity to filter parameter deviations, digital control delay and sensor accuracy is fully analyzed. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments are conducted. Compared with three existing methods, the results demonstrate that the proposed method not only greatly improves output current quality while theoretically requiring fewer sensors, but also substantially reduces sensitivity to grid impedance and achieves a balance between harmonic suppression performance and system stability.

在电网畸变情况下，虚拟同步发电机输出电流质量严重下降。现有的栅极电压采样方法对栅极阻抗具有较高的灵敏度；虚拟阻抗法难以平衡谐波抑制性能和系统稳定性；而混合控制方法往往需要更多的附加传感器。针对这些问题，本文提出了一种电网电流负前馈控制方法来抑制电流谐波。首先，建立了VSG并网系统的阻抗模型，推导了其基波等效电路和谐波等效电路，分析了谐波产生的机理。然后，通过对电网电流的负前馈控制构造谐波电压补偿项，显著提高了VSG的谐波输出阻抗；利用奈奎斯特稳定性判据检验了该方法的稳定性，并充分分析了其对滤波器参数偏差、数字控制延迟和传感器精度的敏感性。最后进行了硬件在环（HIL）实验。结果表明，与现有的三种方法相比，该方法不仅在理论上所需传感器较少的情况下大大提高了输出电流质量，而且大大降低了对电网阻抗的灵敏度，在谐波抑制性能和系统稳定性之间取得了平衡。

In this article, we present a 1–11 GHz CMOS balun low-noise amplifier (LNA) achieving simultaneously ultra-low differential gain error (GE) and phase error (PE) at low power. A dual-tier capacitor cross-coupled common-gate (CCCG) “differential current balancer” corrects amplitude/phase imbalance without invoking the classical gm–ratio noise penalty found in prior CG–CS noise-canceling balun LNAs. A stacked n/pMOS current–reuse core plus a compact series-peaking inductor provides 19.5–20.0 dB flat gain, 1.9–2.7 dB noise figure (NF), and − 1.4 dBm IIP3 at 9.7 mW (1.5 V/0.6 V dual supplies) in 65 nm CMOS. At typical corners, post–layout simulations show impressively low broadband balancing with GE < 0.15 dB and PE < 0.9° across the decade bandwidth while maintaining unconditional stability. The PVT and Monte Carlo analyses demonstrate robustness of balun error (σGE = 0.032 dB, σPE = 0.32° at 10 GHz). These results indicate a promising active replacement for bulky, lossy passive baluns in broadband 5G, sensing, and wideband RF front–ends.

在本文中，我们提出了一种1-11 GHz CMOS平衡低噪声放大器（LNA），在低功耗下同时实现超低差分增益误差（GE）和相位误差（PE）。双层电容交叉耦合共门（CCCG）“差分电流平衡器”纠正幅度/相位不平衡，而不会调用先前CG-CS降噪平衡LNAs中发现的经典gm比噪声惩罚。堆叠n/pMOS电流复用核心加上紧凑型串联峰值电感提供19.5-20.0 dB平坦增益，1.9-2.7 dB噪声系数（NF）和- 1.4 dBm IIP3在9.7 mW （1.5 V/0.6 V双电源）在65nm CMOS。在典型的角落，布局后模拟显示，在保持无条件稳定性的情况下，在十年期带宽中，GE <； 0.15 dB和PE <； 0.9°的低宽带平衡令人印象深刻。PVT和Monte Carlo分析证明了平衡误差（10 GHz时σGE = 0.032 dB, σPE = 0.32°）的鲁棒性。这些结果表明，在宽带5G、传感和宽带RF前端中，有希望主动替代笨重、有损的无源平衡器。

This paper proposes a coverage-enhanced rectifying array antenna operating at 2.45 GHz for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting. First, a 2 × 2 high-gain four-port array antenna is designed, along with a sum-difference feeding network. By integrating these two components, a system featuring four distinct radiation beam patterns is achieved—one high-gain single-beam mode and three multi-beam modes for wide-angle coverage. Subsequently, an efficient microstrip rectifier is designed. The array antenna and rectifier are then combined into a multi-operation-mode rectifying array antenna. Measurement results demonstrate that this rectifying array antenna can dynamically select operating modes based on practical scenarios, enabling both directional RF energy harvesting and robust power conversion efficiency across wide incident angles. This work provides an efficient and adaptive solution for RF energy harvesting in broad spatial domains.

This paper presents an unsupervised machine learning (ML) based k-means++ clustering method for phase quantization in reflectarray (RA) design. Phase quantization is performed to limit the number of required distinct unit cells that eventually introduce the undesired quantization phase error (QPE). Unlike the conventional digital phase quantization method, the k-means++ clustering based phase quantization method forms the non-linearly spaced clusters of phase values, resulting in less average QPE (AQPE) that eventually gives rise to better radiation characteristics. RA prototypes of diameter 10λ₀ (λ₀ is the free-space wavelength at the design frequency of 30 GHz) consisting of half-wavelength periodic unit cells have been designed, and a couple of prototypes have been fabricated to experimentally validate the proposed design methodology in the Ka-band spectrum (26.5 – 40 GHz). Measured results show that the 2-state k-means++ quantized RA has 1.33 dB higher gain, which is equivalent to 3 % higher aperture efficiency (AE) compared to its conventional 2-state digital quantized RA at the design frequency of 30 GHz. Moreover, the k-means++ quantized RA shows a maximum of 2.5 dB gain enhancement at 37.5 GHz, and a maximum AE enhancement of 9.2 % at 28 GHz. Furthermore, the measured 1-dB gain bandwidth (BW) of the k-means++ quantized RA is 10.0 % in contrast to 5.0 % of the 2-state conventional digital quantized RA. The proposed quantization approach can be adopted in the RA design process to optimize the QPE by forming non-linearly spaced clusters to enhance the radiation characteristics.

本文提出了一种基于无监督机器学习（ML）的k-means++聚类方法，用于反射阵列（RA）设计中的相位量化。执行相位量化是为了限制所需的不同单元的数量，最终引入不希望的量化相位误差（QPE）。与传统的数字相位量化方法不同，基于k-means++聚类的相位量化方法形成了相位值的非线性间隔簇，从而减少了平均QPE (AQPE)，最终获得了更好的辐射特性。设计了直径为10λ0 （λ0为设计频率为30 GHz的自由空间波长）的由半波长周期单元组成的RA原型，并制作了几个原型，在ka频段（26.5 - 40 GHz）内实验验证了所提出的设计方法。测量结果表明，在设计频率为30 GHz时，2态k-means++量化RA的增益比传统的2态数字量化RA提高了1.33 dB，孔径效率（AE）提高了3%。此外，k-means++量化RA在37.5 GHz时最大增益增强2.5 dB，在28 GHz时最大声发射增强9.2%。此外，测量到的k-means++量化RA的1 db增益带宽（BW）为10.0%，而传统的2态数字量化RA为5.0%。提出的量化方法可以在RA设计过程中通过形成非线性间距簇来优化QPE，以增强辐射特性。

1-D CNN-based timing synchronization leveraging post processing with perception assistance in UAV communications 无人机通信中利用感知辅助后处理的一维cnn定时同步

In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, correct timing synchronization (TS) is vital for ensuring reliable data transmission and maintaining flight safety. However, in UAV-based wireless scenarios, the first-arriving propagation path is not necessarily the strongest one, and the presence of multipath components coupled with Doppler frequency shifts significantly degrades TS accuracy. Although a lightweight one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1-D CNN)-based TS method partially addresses these issues, its improvements are limited and it often requires network retraining in highly dynamic UAV-assisted communication scenarios. To overcome these limitations, a perception-assisted post-processing framework is proposed, which establishes a new paradigm for improving the TS correctness of 1-D CNN-based synchronizers without network retraining. This framework exploits echo signals at the ground base station (gBS) to estimate transmission paths, thereby extracting perceptual prior information. By employing the 1-D CNN, we first achieve an optimized timing metric (TM) and an initial time offset (TO). Subsequently, perception-assisted post-processing operations, including path matching, perception threshold design, and backward detection, are employed to refine the initial TO estimation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces TS error probability relative to baseline methods while maintaining its robustness against parameter variations without network retraining.

在无人机（UAV）辅助正交频分复用（OFDM）系统中，正确的定时同步（TS）对于确保可靠的数据传输和维护飞行安全至关重要。然而，在基于无人机的无线场景中，第一个到达的传播路径不一定是最强的，多路径分量的存在加上多普勒频移显著降低了TS的精度。尽管基于轻量级一维卷积神经网络（1-D CNN）的TS方法部分解决了这些问题，但其改进是有限的，并且通常需要在高度动态的无人机辅助通信场景中对网络进行再训练。为了克服这些限制，提出了一种感知辅助后处理框架，该框架为提高基于1维cnn同步器的TS正确性建立了一种新的范式，无需网络再训练。该框架利用地面基站（gBS）的回波信号来估计传输路径，从而提取感知先验信息。通过使用一维CNN，我们首先实现了优化的时序度量（TM）和初始时间偏移（TO）。随后，采用感知辅助后处理操作，包括路径匹配，感知阈值设计和向后检测，以改进初始to估计。仿真结果表明，该方法在无需网络再训练的情况下，相对于基线方法显著降低了TS误差概率，同时保持了对参数变化的鲁棒性。

This manuscript presents a single-layer wideband dual-circularly polarized (dual-CP) magneto-electric (ME) dipole reflectarray antenna (RA). The RA unit cell comprises an ME-dipole and symmetric phase delay lines, where tuning the delay line length affects only the right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) phase, leaving the left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) unaffected. Independent control of RHCP and LHCP phases is achieved via delay line tuning and unit cell rotation, simplifying dual-CP unit cell design and enabling continuous phase compensation. A dual-CP ME-dipole array is employed as the feed to ensure wideband performance and low profile. Simulations and measurements confirm that RHCP and LHCP beams are radiated toward (90°, 20°) and (0°, 15°), respectively, with 1-dB gain and 2-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidths of 17.24 % (26.5–31.5 GHz) and 17.43 % (26.7–31.8 GHz).

本文提出了一种单层宽带双圆极化磁电偶极子反射天线。RA单元电池由me偶极子和对称相位延迟线组成，其中延迟线长度的调整仅影响右圆极化（RHCP）相位，而不影响左圆极化（LHCP）。通过延迟线调谐和单元旋转实现RHCP和LHCP相位的独立控制，简化了双cp单元设计并实现了连续相位补偿。采用双cp偶极子阵列作为馈源，保证了宽带性能和低姿态。仿真和测量证实，RHCP和LHCP波束分别向（90°，20°）和（0°，15°）方向辐射，1 db增益和2 db轴比（AR）带宽分别为17.24% （26.5-31.5 GHz）和17.43% （26.7-31.8 GHz）。

This paper presents a high-performance, cost-effective 2 × 2 stacked patch antenna array excited through a hybrid series-parallel feeding network for 60-GHz applications. The proposed design enhances a conventional microstrip patch antenna by introducing two additional dielectric layers above the driven patch (radiating element), which act as impedance transition layers to improve electromagnetic wave radiation into free space and enhance efficiency. Leveraging these layers, stacked quasi H-shaped parasitic patches and an embedded rectangular air cavity enable strong energy coupling, reduce effective permittivity and quality factor, and result in significant improvements in impedance bandwidth (IBW) and co-polarized (co-pol) realized gain across the operating band. Initially, a 2 × 1 series-fed array was designed to achieve optimized impedance bandwidth and gain. To further enhance the gain, this configuration was extended into a 2 × 2 array by duplicating it horizontally and feeding it in parallel through a 1 × 2 in-phase substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) based power divider, with measurements conducted using a WR-15 waveguide port. The proposed 2 × 2 antenna array prototype demonstrates a measured IBW of 30.7% (53.2–72.5 GHz) for

本文提出了一种高性能、高性价比的2 × 2层叠贴片天线阵列，该阵列采用串并联混合馈电网络激励，适用于60ghz应用。该设计通过在驱动贴片（辐射元件）上方引入两个额外的介电层来增强传统微带贴片天线，作为阻抗过渡层，以改善电磁波辐射到自由空间并提高效率。利用这些层，堆叠的准h形寄生贴片和嵌入的矩形空腔实现了强能量耦合，降低了有效介电常数和质量因子，并显著提高了整个工作频带的阻抗带宽（IBW）和共极化（co-pol）实现增益。首先，设计了一个2 × 1串联馈电阵列，以实现最佳的阻抗带宽和增益。为了进一步提高增益，该配置通过水平复制并通过基于1 × 2同相基板集成波导（SIW）的功率分配器并联馈电，扩展为2 × 2阵列，并使用WR-15波导端口进行测量。所提出的2 × 2天线阵列原型显示，在|S11|<； -10 dB时，测量的IBW为30.7% (53.2-72.5 GHz)，共模实现增益范围为9.21 dBi至峰值14.84 dBi，使其成为高速，短距离无线通信的有希望的候选者。

This work is the first to propose a SIMO voltage-mode inverse filter with electronic tunability using DDCC + . The filter configuration is systematically built using signal flow graph (SFG) and uses three plus-type DDCCs, three grounded resistors, and three grounded capacitors. Two responses: inverse band-pass filter, inverse low-pass filter, or inverse high-pass filter are available simultaneously. Four types of tunable inverse filters are developed by deploying external amplifier in SFG which facilitate - control of pole frequency (

ω_{o})

and quality factor (Q) for given bandwidth (

ω_{o} / Q

); control of Q and

ω_{o} / Q

for given

ω_{o}

; control of

ω_{o},

Q and

ω_{o} / Q

simultaneously, and control of Q at constant

ω_{o} .

A SFG of generic tunable inverse filter, capable of providing three tunable inverse filters upon appropriate selection of gains is also put forward. The functional verification is done using 90 nm CMOS technology parameters in LTspice. Performance is evaluated through both pre-layout and post-layout simulations. The effect of passive components variation mismatch is analyzed through Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed filter exhibits an output noise of 63.90 nV/

\sqrt{Hz}

whereas THD remains within 1 % for a peak-to-peak input voltage of 340 mV. The impact of PVT variations is also examined.

这项工作首次提出了一种使用DDCC +的具有电子可调性的SIMO电压模式反滤波器。滤波器配置系统地使用信号流图（SFG）构建，并使用三个+型ddcc，三个接地电阻和三个接地电容器。两种响应：反带通滤波器、反低通滤波器或反高通滤波器同时可用。通过在SFG中部署外部放大器，开发了四种可调反滤波器，便于在给定带宽（ωo/Q）下控制极频（ωo/Q）和品质因数(Q)；给定ωo的Q和ωo/Q控制；同时控制ωo， Q和ωo/Q，并在恒定ωo时控制Q。提出了一种通用可调反滤波器的SFG，在适当选择增益的情况下，可以提供三个可调反滤波器。在LTspice中使用90 nm CMOS技术参数进行了功能验证。通过布局前和布局后的模拟来评估性能。通过蒙特卡罗仿真分析了无源元件变化失配的影响。所提出的滤波器显示出63.90 nV/Hz的输出噪声，而在340 mV的峰对峰输入电压下，THD保持在1%以内。对PVT变化的影响也进行了研究。

In this study, an artificial circulatory system algorithm (ACSA) integrated with Levy flight dynamics is proposed to determine the optimum PID parameters for DC motor speed control. The proposed Levy-ACSA (LF-ACSA) algorithm aims to overcome the local-optimality and exploration–exploitation imbalance problems of existing methods. The LF-ACSA method is compared with 7 metaheuristics on 23 classical benchmark functions and the CEC2022 problem set. It is also verified that LF-ACSA achieves the lowest fitness value according to the ITAE criterion in the evaluations using PID gains and thus shows a faster and more stable convergence performance. In addition, compared to similar methods in the literature, the proposed approach provides a more accurate and balanced response in terms of overshoot percentage, rise time and settling time, which are important performance metrics in control systems under nominal and disturbed system conditions. In the simulated DC motor scenario, it is observed that the LF-ACSA-PID controller offers the highest bandwidth and maintains stability in the open-loop frequency response. Moreover, in terms of load disturbances and disturbance rejection analysis, it empirically demonstrates that the proposed approach suppresses disturbance rapidly and effectively, returning the system to its nominal operating state with minimal deviation. While this work represents the first application of ACSA in control engineering, it provides a perspective on how Levy-based integration can improve the algorithm’s exploitation capability and opens the door to future extensions in advanced control structures.

本文提出了一种结合Levy飞行动力学的人工循环系统算法（artificial circulation system algorithm， ACSA）来确定直流电机速度控制的最佳PID参数。提出的Levy-ACSA （LF-ACSA）算法旨在克服现有方法的局部最优性和探索开发不平衡问题。将LF-ACSA方法与23个经典基准函数和CEC2022问题集上的7种元启发式方法进行了比较。同时验证了LF-ACSA在使用PID增益进行评价时，达到了ITAE准则下的最低适应度值，具有更快更稳定的收敛性能。此外，与文献中类似的方法相比，所提出的方法在超调百分比、上升时间和稳定时间方面提供了更准确和平衡的响应，这是控制系统在标称和扰动系统条件下的重要性能指标。在模拟直流电机场景中，可以观察到LF-ACSA-PID控制器提供了最高的带宽，并在开环频率响应中保持稳定。此外，在负荷扰动和抗扰分析方面，经验表明该方法能够快速有效地抑制扰动，使系统以最小的偏差恢复到其标称运行状态。虽然这项工作代表了ACSA在控制工程中的首次应用，但它提供了一个基于levy的集成如何提高算法的开发能力的视角，并为未来在高级控制结构中的扩展打开了大门。
