There also tend to be warm anomalies in the boreal summer or fall during La Nina development years and cold anomalies in winter or spring following the La Nina events. The seasonal phase-locking of SST change in the EIO associated with E1 Nino/Southern Oscillation is linked to the variability of convection over the maritime continent, which induces an atmospheric Rossby wave over the EIO. Local air-sea interaction exerts different effects on SST anomalies, depending on the relationship between the Rossby wave and the mean flow related to the seasonal migration of the buffer zone, which shifts across the equator between summer and winter. The summer cold events start with cooling in the Timor Sea, together with increasing easterly flow along the equator. Negative SST anomalies develop near Sumatra, through the interaction between the atmospheric Rossby wave and the underneath sea surface. These SST anomalies are also contributed to by the increased upwelling of the mixed layer and the equatorward temperature advection in the boreal fall. As the buffer zone shifts across the equator towards boreal winter, the anomalous easterly flow tends to weaken the mean flow near the equator, and the EIO SST increases due to the reduction of latent heat flux from the sea surface. As a result, wintertime SST anomalies appear with a uniform and nearly basin-wide pattern beneath the easterly anomalies. These SST anomalies are also caused by the increase in solar radiation associated with the anticyclonic atmospheric Rossby wave over the EIO. Similarly, the physical processes of the summer warm events, which are followed by wintertime cold SST anomalies, can be explained by the changes in atmospheric and oceanic fields with opposite signs to those anomalies described above.展开更多

The results show that the seasonal variation of the zonal wind anomaly over the equatorial Pacific associated with the seasonal variation of the ITCZ is the mechanism of the locking in the model. From January to March of the E1 Nino year, the western wind anomaly over the western equatorial Pacific can excite the downwelling Kelvin wave that propagates eastward to the eastern and middle Pacific by April to June. From April to December of the year before the E1 Nifio year, the eastern wind anomaly over the equatorial Pacific forces the downwelling Rossby waves that modulate the ENSO cycle. The modulation and the reflection at the western boundary modulate the time of the transition from the cool to the warm phase to September of the year before the E1 Nifio year and cause the strongest downwelling Kelvin wave from the reflected Rossby waves at the western boundary to arrive in the middle and eastern equatorial Pacific by April to June of the E1 Nino year. The superposition of these two kinds of downwelling Kelvin waves causes the El Nino event to tend to occur from April to June.展开更多

In this paper, the analytical expression for the propagation of the phase-locked truncated Gaussian beam array in a turbulent atmosphere is obtained based on the extended Huygens--Fresnel principle. Power in the diffraction-limited bucket is introduced as the beam quality factor to evaluate the influence of different truncation parameters. The dependence of optimal truncation ratio on the number of beamlets, the intensity of turbulence, propagation distance and laser wavelength is calculated and discussed. It is revealed that the optimal truncation ratio is larger for the laser array that contains more lasers, and the optimal truncation ratio will shift to a larger value with an increase in propagation distance and decrease in intensity of atmosphere turbulence. The optimal truncation ratio is independent of laser wavelength.展开更多

Within these sequences the episodes are phase-locked to subharmonics of the annual solar irradiance cycle having two- or three-year periodicity. There are 40 El Niño episodes occurring since 1872, each found within one of eighteen such sequences. Our list includes all previously reported events. Three El Niño episodes have already been observed in boreal winters of 2009, 2012 and 2015, illustrating a sequence of 3-year intervals that began in 2008. If the climate system remains in this state, the next El Niño is likely to occur in boreal winter of 2018.展开更多

Z-source inverter is a single-stage topology that has buck-boost feature, which is possible because of additional shoot through state introduced in zero state of the conventional inverter pulse width modulation and provides desired output AC voltage. Small distributed generation （DG） system with alternate energy sources requires power conditioning units with low cost, high efficiency and tolerance to wide range of input voltage variation and has to perform various functions such as dc-ac conversion, system control and achieve power quality norms. To meet some of these requirements a two-loop control strategy for ac side control with grid current feedback with PI control and inner filter capacitor current feedback with proportional control and on dc side PID control for Z-source capacitor voltage regulation are employed, which gives good transient response also suppress load and source disturbances effectively. Theoretical analysis of proposed scheme is established and then simulation results are presented to validate proposed control strategy.展开更多

文摘Truncation manipulation is a simple but effective way to improve the intensity distribution properties of the phase-locked Gaussian beam array at the receiving plane. In this paper, the analytical expression for the propagation of the phase-locked truncated Gaussian beam array in a turbulent atmosphere is obtained based on the extended Huygens--Fresnel principle. Power in the diffraction-limited bucket is introduced as the beam quality factor to evaluate the influence of different truncation parameters. The dependence of optimal truncation ratio on the number of beamlets, the intensity of turbulence, propagation distance and laser wavelength is calculated and discussed. It is revealed that the optimal truncation ratio is larger for the laser array that contains more lasers, and the optimal truncation ratio will shift to a larger value with an increase in propagation distance and decrease in intensity of atmosphere turbulence. The optimal truncation ratio is independent of laser wavelength.

文摘Fractional-N phase-locked loops(PLLs)are widely deployed in high-speed communication systems to generate local oscillator(LO)or clock signals with precise frequency.To support sophisticated modulations for increasing the data rate,the PLL needs to generate low-jitter output[1].
文摘A diode laser array(DLA)positioned in an external cavity can receive the radiations emitted from its neighboring elements (C 1) and that of itself (S) after being reflected at the DLA facet as well as from the external mirror (C 0). Considering the fact that｜C 0/S｜ should be larger than unity if the external cavity is effective,and｜C 1/S｜ should be larger than unity if the phase locking may be established in the external cavity.The requirements on the reflection at the facet of the diode laser array have been specified in terms of the cavity length and reflection coefficient of the external mirror.
文摘Using a newly reported Pacific sea surface temperature data set, we extend a prior study that assigned El Niño episodes to distinct sequences. Within these sequences the episodes are phase-locked to subharmonics of the annual solar irradiance cycle having two- or three-year periodicity. There are 40 El Niño episodes occurring since 1872, each found within one of eighteen such sequences. Our list includes all previously reported events. Three El Niño episodes have already been observed in boreal winters of 2009, 2012 and 2015, illustrating a sequence of 3-year intervals that began in 2008. If the climate system remains in this state, the next El Niño is likely to occur in boreal winter of 2018.

文摘The paper presents a kind of transmission system which employs M-ary Position Phase Shift Keying(MPPSK) to send data and Phase Locked Loop(PLL) based techniques for data retrieve.With a single PLL, MPPSK demodulation is achieved, as well as carrier recovery and symbol synchronization.Firstly, MPPSK modulation method is briefly introduced.2PPSK's PSD expression is given with its optimization result.Orthogonal Phase Detector(PD) and static threshold are used for the purpose of wider phase range and simplicity in demodulation.The data rate is alterable, which is 4.65 kbps for 2PPSK and 9.3 kbps for 4PPSK in the paper.Then some indicative comparisons in Signal to Noise Ratio Symbol Error Rate(SNR-SER) are made among 2PPSK, 3PPSK and 4PPSK, of which 4PPSK has proved to be optimal in ten slots each symbol conditions.And finally, it is demonstrated by system simulations that lower than 10-4 Symbol Error Rate(SER) performance can be obtained at 13 dB symbol SNR.

文摘In deep space exploration,many engineering and scientific requirements require the accuracy of the measured Doppler frequency to be as high as possible.In our paper,we analyze the possible frequency measurement points of the third-order phase-locked loop(PLL)and find a new Doppler measurement strategy.Based on this finding,a Doppler frequency measurement algorithm with significantly higher measurement accuracy is obtained.In the actual data processing,compared with the existing engineering software,the accuracy of frequency of 1 second integration is about 5.5 times higher when using the new algorithm.The improved algorithm is simple and easy to implement.This improvement can be easily combined with other improvement methods of PLL,so that the performance of PLL can be further improved.
文摘A low jitter All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop （ADPLL） used as a clock generator is designed. The Digital-Controlled Oscillator （DCO） for this ADPLL is a seven-stage ring oscillator with the delay of each stage changeable. Based on the Impulse Sensitivity Function （ISF） analysis, an effective way is proposed to reduce the ADPLL＇s jitter by the careful design of the sizes of the inverters used in the DCO with a simple architecture other than a complex one. The ADPLL is implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS process with 1.SV supply voltage, occupies 0.046mm^2 of on-chip area. According to the measured results, the ADPLL can operate from 108MHz to 304MHz, and the peak-to-peak jitter is 139ps when the DCO＇s output frequency is 188MHz.

文摘A Monolithic integrated phase locked-loop （PLL） with a low phase noise is proposed in this paper. Several techniques are utilized to improve the performance of the PLL which works at the milli- meter-wave band. The on-chip high-Q eoplanar waveguides （CPWs） are utilized in the resonant tank and the differential current amplifier with a resonator is used to realize the VCO. In the output buffer circuit, several stages of cascaded source-followers connect and differential amplifiers are adopted to improve the driving capability of the PLL＇ s output signals. An improved analog multiplier topology is also used in the PD circuit to improve the gain of the PD. The proposed PLL is realized with a 0.2p, m GaAs pseudomorphie high electron mobility transistor （PHEMT） process. At 10 kHz offset from the center frequency, the measured output phase noise of the PLL output is only -88.83dBc/Hz. The circuit exhibits a low root mean sauare （RMS） litter of 1.68Ds.
文摘This paper presents a single-phase Z-source inverter as a power conditioning system for a single phase utility connected system. Z-source inverter is a single-stage topology that has buck-boost feature, which is possible because of additional shoot through state introduced in zero state of the conventional inverter pulse width modulation and provides desired output AC voltage. Small distributed generation （DG） system with alternate energy sources requires power conditioning units with low cost, high efficiency and tolerance to wide range of input voltage variation and has to perform various functions such as dc-ac conversion, system control and achieve power quality norms. To meet some of these requirements a two-loop control strategy for ac side control with grid current feedback with PI control and inner filter capacitor current feedback with proportional control and on dc side PID control for Z-source capacitor voltage regulation are employed, which gives good transient response also suppress load and source disturbances effectively. Theoretical analysis of proposed scheme is established and then simulation results are presented to validate proposed control strategy.

文摘Fractional-order control(FOC)has gained significant attention in power system applications due to their ability to enhance performance and increase stability margins.In grid-connected converter(GCC)systems,the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop(SRF-PLL)plays a critical role in grid synchronization for renewable power generation.However,there is a notable research gap regarding the application of FOC to the SRF-PLL.This paper proposes a fractional-order SRF-PLL(FO-SRF-PLL)that incorporates FOC to accurately track the phase angle of the terminal voltage,thereby improving the efficiency of grid-connected control.The dynamic performance of the proposed FO-SRF-PLL is evaluated under varying grid conditions.A comprehensive analysis of the small-signal stability of the GCC system employing the FO-SRF-PLL is also presented,including derived small-signal stability conditions.The results demonstrate that the FO-SRF-PLL significantly enhances robustness against disturbances compared with the conventional SRF-PLL.Furthermore,the GCC system with the FO-SRF-PLL maintains stability even under weak grid conditions,showing superior stability performance over the SRF-PLL.Finally,both simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the analysis and conclusions presented in this paper.
