Different from conventional three quantum well structures, a periodic gain active region with nine quantum wells was incorporated into the VCSEL structure, with which high efficiency and high power operation were expected. The nine quantum wells were divided into three groups with each of them located at the antinodes of the cavity to enhance the coupling between the optical field and the gain region. Large aperture and bottom-emitting configuration were used to improve the beam quality and the heat dissipation. A maximum output power of 1.4 W was demonstrated at CW operation for a 400 μm-diameter device. The lasing wavelength shifted to 995.5 nm with a FWHM of 2 nm at a current of 4.8 A due to the internal heating and the absence of active water cooling. A ring-shape far field pattern was induced by the non-homogeneous lateral current distribution in large diameter device. The light intensity at the center of the ring increased with increasing current. A symmetric round light spot at the center and single transverse mode operation with a divergence angle of 16° were observed with current beyond 4.8 A.展开更多

By rotating the metasurface element, circularly polarized and high gain antennas are achieved respectively. Firstly, multi-mode resonance theory is employed to broaden the bandwidth of the slot antenna. And then, an SIW cavity composed of 4×4 cornercut elements is added on the top of the slot antenna to achieve the circular polarization and improve the front-to-back ratio. Thirdly, the metasurface elements are sequentially rotated and a high gain antenna with 2-dBi enhancement on average in the operation band is obtained. Based on the two antenna units, two 2×2 antenna arrays are designed. The circularly polarized and high gain antenna arrays are both fabricated to verify the correctness. Furthermore, the novel wideband phase shifter is employed in the circularly polarized antenna to obtain an operating bandwidth of 38%(4.05 GHz–5.95 GHz)and AR bandwidth of 24.9%(4.4 GHz–5.65 GHz). The bandwidth of the high gain antenna can reach 42.7%(3.95 GHz–6.1 GHz) and with the gain enhancement of 2 dBi compared with that of the circularly polarized antenna. The gain remains steady in most of operating band within a variation of 1 dBi. It is remarkable that the rotating of the metasurface element has a great influence on the antenna performance, which provides a new explication for the multi-function antenna design.展开更多

Since itcompensates for mismatches in photovoltaic devices and allows for separateand continuous power flow from these sources. The proposed converter hasthe benefits of high gain, a low ripple in the output voltage, minimal stressvoltage across the power semiconductor devices, a low ripple in inductorcurrent, high power density, and high efficiency. Soft-switching techniquesare used to realize that the reverse recovery issue of the diodes is moderated, the leakage energy is reused, and no new scheme is appropriated. Toreduce conduction losses, minimum voltage rating MOSFETs with a low ONresistance can be utilized. The converter can supply the required power fromthe load in the absence of one or two resources. Furthermore, due to the highgain of boosting voltage, the converter works in an Adaptive Neuro-FuzzyInference System (ANFIS). The operation principle, steady-state analysis ofthe proposed converter, is given and simulated utilizing MATLAB/Simulinksimulation software.展开更多

The radia- tion part of the antenna consists of two symmetrical triangular metal slice branches printed on the FR-4 substrate with 1.5 mrn thickness. The two branches are fed by balanced mierostrip line. The antenna is simulated by soft- ware CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and the equivalent adopted dipole model is proposed to describe the radia- tion characteristic of the antenna. The simulation results indicate that the frequency range is from 1.64 GHz to 5 GHz with reflection coefficient less than -6 dB, and the typical gain value is 8 dB in the operating band- width. In order to improve antenna gain without influencing the bandwidth, the length of the dielectric slab should be extended appropriately in the main radiation direction. By extending the length of the dielectric slab appropriately in the main radiation direction, the antenna gain can be improved significantly without the influ- ence on the bandwidth. Besides, a metal disc loaded in the radiation direction makes the gain in band be more stable. The prototype has been fabricated and measured in microwave anechoic chamber which is coincident with the simulation results. This antenna can be widely applied in the UWB field.展开更多

In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unknown smooth nonlinear functions, K-filters is designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to solve the problem of unknown sign of high-frequency gain. By combining adaptive fuzzy control theory and adaptive backstepping design, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It has been proven that the proposed adaptive fuzzy robust control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriately choosing design parameters. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

文摘This paper presents the design of wideband and high gainFrequency Selective Surface(FSS)loaded antenna for ultra-wideband(UWB)wireless applications requiring high-gain.The antenna consists of a monopole and an FSS reflector.Initially,a conventional rectangular monopole antenna is modified using slot and stub to achieve wide operational bandwidth and size reduction.This modified antenna shows 50%miniaturization compared to a primary rectangular monopole,having a wide impedance bandwidth of 3.6-11.8 GHz.Afterward,an FSS is constructed by the combination of circular and square ring structures.The FSS array consisting of 8×8-unit cells are integrated with the antenna as a reflector to enhance the performance of the proposed miniaturized UWB antenna.The loading of FSS results in an improvement of at least 4 dBi gain in the entire operational bandwidth.Moreover,the antenna’s bandwidth is also increased at the lower frequency band due to the presence of the FSS.A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and tested to verify the simulation results.The simulation and measurement results show that the antenna offers a wideband-10 dB impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.55-13GHz with a stable peak gain of 8.6 dBi and retains the radiation pattern stability.

文摘Two substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) cavity antenna arrays based on metasurface are proposed in this paper. By rotating the metasurface element, circularly polarized and high gain antennas are achieved respectively. Firstly, multi-mode resonance theory is employed to broaden the bandwidth of the slot antenna. And then, an SIW cavity composed of 4×4 cornercut elements is added on the top of the slot antenna to achieve the circular polarization and improve the front-to-back ratio. Thirdly, the metasurface elements are sequentially rotated and a high gain antenna with 2-dBi enhancement on average in the operation band is obtained. Based on the two antenna units, two 2×2 antenna arrays are designed. The circularly polarized and high gain antenna arrays are both fabricated to verify the correctness. Furthermore, the novel wideband phase shifter is employed in the circularly polarized antenna to obtain an operating bandwidth of 38%(4.05 GHz–5.95 GHz)and AR bandwidth of 24.9%(4.4 GHz–5.65 GHz). The bandwidth of the high gain antenna can reach 42.7%(3.95 GHz–6.1 GHz) and with the gain enhancement of 2 dBi compared with that of the circularly polarized antenna. The gain remains steady in most of operating band within a variation of 1 dBi. It is remarkable that the rotating of the metasurface element has a great influence on the antenna performance, which provides a new explication for the multi-function antenna design.
文摘Renewable electricity options, such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaic,and batteries, are being integrated, which has made DC micro-grids famous.For DC micro-grid systems, a multi input interleaved non-isolated dc-dcconverter is suggested by the use of coupled inductor techniques. Since itcompensates for mismatches in photovoltaic devices and allows for separateand continuous power flow from these sources. The proposed converter hasthe benefits of high gain, a low ripple in the output voltage, minimal stressvoltage across the power semiconductor devices, a low ripple in inductorcurrent, high power density, and high efficiency. Soft-switching techniquesare used to realize that the reverse recovery issue of the diodes is moderated, the leakage energy is reused, and no new scheme is appropriated. Toreduce conduction losses, minimum voltage rating MOSFETs with a low ONresistance can be utilized. The converter can supply the required power fromthe load in the absence of one or two resources. Furthermore, due to the highgain of boosting voltage, the converter works in an Adaptive Neuro-FuzzyInference System (ANFIS). The operation principle, steady-state analysis ofthe proposed converter, is given and simulated utilizing MATLAB/Simulinksimulation software.

文摘A printed TEM horn antenna with high gain fed by balanced microstrip line is proposed. The radia- tion part of the antenna consists of two symmetrical triangular metal slice branches printed on the FR-4 substrate with 1.5 mrn thickness. The two branches are fed by balanced mierostrip line. The antenna is simulated by soft- ware CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and the equivalent adopted dipole model is proposed to describe the radia- tion characteristic of the antenna. The simulation results indicate that the frequency range is from 1.64 GHz to 5 GHz with reflection coefficient less than -6 dB, and the typical gain value is 8 dB in the operating band- width. In order to improve antenna gain without influencing the bandwidth, the length of the dielectric slab should be extended appropriately in the main radiation direction. By extending the length of the dielectric slab appropriately in the main radiation direction, the antenna gain can be improved significantly without the influ- ence on the bandwidth. Besides, a metal disc loaded in the radiation direction makes the gain in band be more stable. The prototype has been fabricated and measured in microwave anechoic chamber which is coincident with the simulation results. This antenna can be widely applied in the UWB field.

文摘In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust feedback control approach is proposed for a class of single-input and singleoutput （SISO） strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear functions, time delays, unknown high-frequency gain sign, and without the measurements of the states. In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unknown smooth nonlinear functions, K-filters is designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to solve the problem of unknown sign of high-frequency gain. By combining adaptive fuzzy control theory and adaptive backstepping design, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It has been proven that the proposed adaptive fuzzy robust control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriately choosing design parameters. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘Renewable energy with sources such as photovoltaic(PV)or fuel cells can be utilized for the generation of elec-trical power.But these sources generate fewer voltage values and therefore require high gain converters to match with DC bus voltage in microgrids.These high gain converters can be implemented with switched capacitors to meet the required DC bus voltage.Switched capacitors operate in a series and parallel combination during switch-ing operation and produce high static gain,limits reverse voltage that appears across the components.A novel converter is proposed that satisfies all the features such as high voltage gain,only one switch,forces less potential stress cross the components,ripple current is less.These features of the proposed converter are verified through MATLAB/SIMULINK.
