This paper presents a method for optimal sizing and operation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) used for spinning reserve in a small isolated power system. Numerical simulations are performed on a load-frequency control (LFC) dynamic simulator of t ...
The growing market of GNSS capable mobile devices is driving the interest of software receiver solutions as they can share many resources with other system units, reducing both the size and the cost of their integration. However, a major issue with the sof ...
Adaptive tracking of sinusoidal signal components with time-varying amplitudes and frequencies presents a great interest in many engineering applications. In many cases, the frequency components of interest are present in more than one signal. So we propos ...
A simple time-to-digital converter (TDC), capable of detecting not only phase difference but also frequency difference, is presented. The proposed TDC guarantees pull-in even for PLLs with the lowest loop gain. The TDC is fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process ...
This paper presents a simulation study on the identifiability of multiple reentrant circuits on the basis of the vectorcardiogram. The methods involved include an advanced tracking of the basic frequencies of the dominant rotors and a supporting identifica ...
The operation of a vibrating body field effect transistor (VB-FET) near pull-in is exploited to experimentally demonstrate a self-oscillating device. The positive feedback mechanism is triggered at the onset of inversion in a depleted VB-FET channel, near ...

This paper presents a new radio architecture targeting RF transceivers for WSN, WBAN, and biomedical applications. The high miniaturization required by such applications is achieved thanks to the combination of high-Q MEMS devices, such as RF BAW re ...
We present a method to obtain the frequency spectrum of a signal with a nonlinear dynamical system. The dynamical system is composed of a pool of adaptive frequency oscillators with negative mean-field coupling. For the frequency analysis, the synchronizat ...

Longitudinal zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) fluctuations in long waveguides impose a fundamental limit on the achievable parametric mixer bandwidth. We demonstrate for the first time that the precisely measured ZDW profile can be taken advantage of by ap ...
