The recent discovery that the input impedance of digital impedance circuits is dependent on the external source impedance requires the development of new design procedures to address the significant complexity of this discovery. These circuits are of particular utility for the implementation of difficult non-Foster impedances such as negative capacitance. Therefore, a new digital impedance circuit design procedure is presented where stable digital filter coefficients are computed to provide desi

The penetration of power electronics into power generation and distribution systems has deepened in recent years, as prompted by the increasing use of renewable sources, the quest for higher performance in the control of power conversion, as well as the increasing influence of economic plans that necessitate power trading among different regions or clusters of power distribution. As a result of the increased use of power electronics for controlling power flows in power systems, interactions of p

In this paper, a transformer-based bandwidth (BW) extension technique is employed to improve the BW, noise, and silicon area of inverter-based transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) even when they use inductive peaking. A TIA based on the proposed technique, designed and laid out in a 16-nm FinFET process, demonstrates a 36% increased in BW, a 19% reduction in input-referred noise, and a 57% reduction in silicon area compared to the conventional TIA with inductive peaking. In the proposed TIA architec

This paper reviews and analyses the design of popular radio frequency energy harvesting systems and proposes a method to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze their circuit architectures using new square-wave approximation method. This approach helps in simplifying design analysis. Using this analysis, we can establish no load output voltage characteristics, upper limit on rectifier efficiency, and maximum power characteristics of a rectifier. This paper will help guide the design of RF energ

Target detection and field surveillance are among the most prominent applications of wireless sensor networks. However, the sensing capabilities of sensors are affected by environmental factors in real deployment. This paper investigates the problem of detecting probability in a log-normal shadow fading environment. It presents an analytic method to evaluate the detection probability by at least k sensors under practical considerations. Furthermore, we also shows that shadow fading makes signifi

A novel PET for a distribution grid called a flexible power distribution unit is proposed in this paper, and the energy exchange mechanism between the network and the load is revealed. A 30 kW 600 VAC/220 VAC/110 VDC medium-frequency isolated prototype is developed and demonstrated. This paper also presents key control strategies of the PET for electrical distribution grid applications, especially under grid voltage disturbance conditions. Moreover, stability issues related to the grid-connected
