The unit-cell structure contains concentric rectangular rings and empty substrate-integrated waveguides (SIWs) for miniaturisation. The miniaturised dimension of the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate is 18 × 18 × 1 mm3. Two varactor diodes are integrated for frequency switching operations by configuring the structure using bias voltage (forward/reverse) through the ground via the proposed surface resonates at 3.5,5.8,7.6 (On),8.1 (Off) GHz frequencies, which provide simultaneous bi-functionalities: artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) reflector/absorber in reflection and transmission space of operations, respectively. In reflection space, it acts as an AMC reflector by providing in-phase reflection with a radiation efficiency of >84% and unidirectional E-field patterns. However, the magnitude of absorbance is more than 96% in transmission, thereby simultaneously controlling full-space EM wave in normal incidence. The obtained simultaneous metasurface functionalities are investigated for different oblique angles of the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) incident wave. The proposed surface is fabricated and experimentally validated. The features of the designed bifunctional metasurface provide a strategic platform for potential multifunctional wearable devices.","PeriodicalId":13968,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronics Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45325634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, it is very important to study the frequency response of these interconnects to ascertain their actual performance and compare them. HSPICE-based circuit simulations at 20 nm and 14 nm technology nodes are carried out. Furthermore, the analysis for local, semi-global and global interconnect lengths is carried out.

As a result, they are suitable for use as shift registers. This investigation discussed various previous DETFF designs and demonstrated a new DETFF circuit applied to construct an 8-bit low-power shift register. This study makes a significant contribution by using two parallel data paths that operate in a single clock’s opposing phases where an inverted input trigger is unnecessary. TSMC 90-nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology was used to implement the proposed shift register. Comparing the proposed DETFF with prior works, it has fewer transistor counts since the negated input trigger and auxiliary devices were removed, resulting in lower area cost and lower power dissipation. At 100 MHz clock frequency and lower supply voltage of 1.0 V, it demonstrates a power consumption of 3.352 mW on silicon, making it suitable for low-power applications. Lastly, it has the best performance compared with prior works speaking of larger scale, as demonstrated by the chip’s functionality and jitter measurement at the maximum frequency of 200 MHz.","PeriodicalId":13968,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronics Letters","volume":"11 1","pages":"300 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46970082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementation of UKF requires the state-space model of DA circuit, which has been obtained using Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL), Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) and the Gummel–Poon model of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This work uses Kronecker product for vector multiplication. The mathematical representation of nonlinear system in terms of Kronecker product helps to reduce the computational burden involved in the vector multiplication. The proposed method has the advantage that it can be used for the nonlinear region and large amplitude input signal. As the maximal precision of estimation requires modelling in terms of circuit elements and device parameters, the proposed method is able to provide an accurate estimation. We compared the UKF estimation results with the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF). The UKF presents smaller mean square error (MSE) as compared to EKF and IEKF as UKF is accurate to the third order for any nonlinearity. In addition, IEKF presents smaller MSE as compared to EKF because the linearisation error is taken into account by IEKF.","PeriodicalId":13968,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronics Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48229308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve the best performance in a MIMO-OFDM system, high accuracy in channel estimation is a very important factor which leads to appropriate receiver design. Therefore, in the most channel estimation algorithms, the mean square error (MSE) is the main criterion for noise minimisation which is robust in the case of Gaussian noise. However, in telecommunication systems which do not have noise with Gaussian distribution, the MSE criterion is not appropriate. So as to tackle this problem, a robust adaptive filtering algorithm was proposed using minimum error entropy (MEE) criterion and improved least square (ILS) approach which by far is better than MMSE criterion to robust channel estimation. In this work, impulsive noise is used for non-Gaussian environment simulation. Furthermore, MEE is employed to attenuate the impulsive noise, and ILS is adopted to reduce LS estimation variance. Compared to the MSE-based algorithms, simulation results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the channel estimation in a non-Gaussian environment.","PeriodicalId":13968,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronics Letters","volume":"11 1","pages":"267 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43931881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
