Development of a dc-ac power conditioner for wind generator by using neural network
This project present of development single phase DC-AC converter for wind
generator application. The mathematical model of the wind generator and Artificial
Neural Network control for DC-AC converter is derived. The controller is designed to
stabilize the output voltage of DC-AC converter. To verify the effectiveness of the
proposal controller, both simulation and experimental are developed. The simulation and
experimental result show that the amplitude of output voltage of the DC-AC converter
can be controlled
Single-Carrier Modulation versus OFDM for Millimeter-Wave Wireless MIMO
This paper presents results on the achievable spectral efficiency and on the
energy efficiency for a wireless multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) link
operating at millimeter wave frequencies (mmWave) in a typical 5G scenario. Two
different single-carrier modem schemes are considered, i.e., a traditional
modulation scheme with linear equalization at the receiver, and a
single-carrier modulation with cyclic prefix, frequency-domain equalization and
FFT-based processing at the receiver; these two schemes are compared with a
conventional MIMO-OFDM transceiver structure. Our analysis jointly takes into
account the peculiar characteristics of MIMO channels at mmWave frequencies,
the use of hybrid (analog-digital) pre-coding and post-coding beamformers, the
finite cardinality of the modulation structure, and the non-linear behavior of
the transmitter power amplifiers. Our results show that the best performance is
achieved by single-carrier modulation with time-domain equalization, which
exhibits the smallest loss due to the non-linear distortion, and whose
performance can be further improved by using advanced equalization schemes.
Results also confirm that performance gets severely degraded when the link
length exceeds 90-100 meters and the transmit power falls below 0 dBW.Comment: accepted for publication on IEEE Transactions on Communication
An Opportunistic Error Correction Layer for OFDM Systems
In this paper, we propose a novel cross layer scheme to lower power\ud
consumption of ADCs in OFDM systems, which is based on resolution\ud
adaptive ADCs and Fountain codes. The key part in the new proposed\ud
system is that the dynamic range of ADCs can be reduced by\ud
discarding the packets which are transmitted over 'bad' sub\ud
carriers. Correspondingly, the power consumption in ADCs can be\ud
reduced. Also, the new system does not process all the packets but\ud
only processes surviving packets. This new error correction layer\ud
does not require perfect channel knowledge, so it can be used in a\ud
realistic system where the channel is estimated. With this new\ud
approach, more than 70% of the energy consumption in the ADC can be\ud
saved compared with the conventional IEEE 802.11a WLAN system under\ud
the same channel conditions and throughput. The ADC in a receiver\ud
can consume up to 50% of the total baseband energy. Moreover, to\ud
reduce the overhead of Fountain codes, we apply message passing and\ud
Gaussian elimination in the decoder. In this way, the overhead is\ud
3% for a small block size (i.e. 500 packets). Using both methods\ud
results in an efficient system with low delay
