Switched-Band Vivaldi Antenna

Abstract: A novel Vivaldi antenna with added switched band functionality to operate in a wideband or narrowband mode is presented. The antenna reconfiguration is realized by inserting four pairs of switchable ring slots into the ground plane of the structure. A wide bandwidth mode from 1.0-3.2 GHz and three narrowband modes can be selected. A fully functional prototype with PIN diodes switches has been developed. Measured results shows good performance of the proposed designs. The antenna could be a suitable solution for a multimode application requiring wideband and frequency reconfigurable antennas, such as in military applications and cognitive radio.

Multiband-96: a program for variable-bandwidth progression optimization of multiarterial traffic networks

Abstract: Progression schemes are widely used for traffic signal control in urban arterial streets. Commonly available programs such as the MAXBAND or PASSER programs use the traditional approach, which consists of a uniform bandwidth design for each arterial. The multiband criterion, on the other hand, has the ability to adapt the progressions to the specific characteristics of each link in the network and thus obtain improved performance. The development and application of the multiband signal optimization scheme in multiarterial grid networks are described. The MULTIBAND-96 model optimizes all the signal control variables, including phase lengths, offsets, cycle time, and phase sequences, and generates variable bandwidth progressions on each arterial in the network. It uses the MINOS mathematical programming package for the optimization and offers considerable advantages compared with existing models. Simulation results using TRAF-NETSIM are given.

Dynamic channel allocation method and system for integrated services digital network

Abstract: Dynamic channel allocation in an ISDN line is implemented above a Level II link layer protocol (LAPD). The preferred embodiment comprises programming operating on a computing platform system including a communication coprocessor system. The programming includes a channel management module (CMM) and a virtual channel module (VCM) to implement dynamic channel Allocation. The modules cooperate to control bandwidth between communication partners by selective allocation and deallocation of virtual B-Channels between them in response to preassigned priorities and real time events. Voice and data channels are interrogated. Channel deallocation also takes place in response to high error rates in message transmission.

Digital down converter and method

Abstract: A digital down converter for extracting a signal from a complex digital signal wherein the real and imaginary components of the complex digital signal are each modulated to shift the center frequency of the desired signal to zero frequency, decimated digitally to limit the bandwidth of each to the bandwidth of the desired signal and filtered to alter the shape thereof. The digital down converter includes a formatter for arranging the output of the desired signal in one of multiple output formats and a controller for programmably controlling the modulation, decimation and filtering and for selecting the desired output format.

Stability and Bandwidth Implications of Digitally Controlled Grid-Connected Parallel Inverters

Abstract: The increasing use of grid-connected inverter systems is resulting in a desire for parallel-connected inverters that offer greater power capacity while maintaining the high control bandwidth achieved by individual inverters. This paper demonstrates that, in addition to the traditional stability and bandwidth limitations of digitally controlled inverters, further stability and bandwidth limitations occur when LCL inverters with a common set point are connected in parallel to a grid. This paper provides detailed discrete-time derivations for parallel grid-connected inverters and uncovers stability and bandwidth limitations that only occur in grid-connected applications and are not apparent if the system is studied in continuous time. This paper demonstrates that, in a typical application, the voltage bandwidth of an LCL parallel inverter array is 25% lower than a single module or LC parallel configuration. Both simulations and hardware demonstrations on a 105-kVA parallel three-module grid-connected system confirm the findings.
