In this paper, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with automatic amplitude control is designed using a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. A cross-coupled PMOS pair is used for a negative resistance to compensate for the losses in the LC resonator, and an automatic\ulcorner amplitude control function is adapted to provide constant output power independent of the Q-factor of the LC resonator. The designed VCO operates in the 200MHz to 550MHz frequency range using different external resonators. The simulated phase noise is -128 dBc/Hz at 100KHz offset from the carrier frequency of 260MHz. It dissipates 0.㎽ from a 3V power supply. The area is 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ x1201${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

This paper presents a cross-coupled RF VCO with high-Q MEMS-based spiral inductors. Since the use of high-Q inductors is critical to VCO design, MEMS-based spiral inductors with the Q-factor of nearly 22 are used for the RF VCO with an active cascode current source. The RF VCO circuits including spiral inductors have been designed and simulated in GaAs MMIC-MEMS process. The simulation results of the VCO circuits showed the phase noise of -180dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 500KHz. The RF VCO circuit simulatinon used 2mA DC current and 3.3V supply.

One of the most effective key factors to improve performance of automotive reciprocating compressor is the design of suction and discharge reed valves. Reed valves are also the major sources of compressor noise. Valve motion is highly coupled with refrigerant flow. In this study, a process of fluid-structure interaction analysis was developed to predict the cylinder inner flow and the dynamic behavior of valve simultaneously. Interface programs computational structural dynamics code. The full cycle simulations of compressor were performed using FSI analysis was alidated by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results.

Estimation of damping ratio for vibration signals measured on the passenger car's sear is useful for the objective evaluation of impact harshness in car. The vibratio signal is a transient signal represented by many coupled modes of suspension system. Wavelet transform automatically decouples these modes in the time-frequency domain. Damping ratios for decoupled modes are obtained by logarithmic treatment for the Wavelet transformed signal. The objective evaluation using Wavelet transform has been well corresponded with subjective evaluation done by skilled engineers.

This paper presents theoretical analyses for unstable vibrations caused by the couple of bending and torsion in a rotating shaft driven through a universal joint. A driving shaft is assumed to be rigid and to rotate with a constant angular velocity. The driven shaft system consists of a flexible shaft with a circular section and a symmetrical rotor attached at a point between the shaft ends. Equations of motion derived hold with an accuracy of the second order of shaft deformations, and are analyzed by the asymptotic method. The vibrations become unstable when the driving shaft rotates with the angular velocity to be approximately equal to half of the sum of the natural frequencies for whirling and torsional vibrations.

Recently, optical disk drives are increasingly demanded to have higher speed as well as high information density, especially for applications like CD ROM drives. To this end, improvement of their optical pickup structure and control is recognized the very challenging issue. In this paper, the pickup is first analytically modelled in a plane to describe its coupled auto-focusing and auto-tracking motions. Subsequently, the model is linearized and combined with actuator dynamics for the auto-focusing system. With its unmeasurable parameters being estimated based on experimental data, an approximate I-DOF linear model is obtained neglecting the coupling term. To design the high speed and robust positional servo controller realistic design specifications are addressed, and H control method is employed based on the approximate model. Finally, taking the pickup in a commerical high speed CD ROM drive as an example performance of the designed controller is verified through realtime experiments.

We have constructed a multi-channel SQUID magnetometer system. The system is designed to operate normally with 10 high temperature direct coupled SQUIDs. The main features of the system include a remote control by serial communication, low noise with wide bandwidth and high slew rate by several MHz modulation, signal conditioning and calibration by digital signal processing.

Optical Triangulation Probes (OTPs) are widely used for their simple structure. high resolution, and long operating range. However, errors originating from speckle, inclination of the object, source power fluctuation, ambient light, and noise of the detector limit their usability. In this paper, we propose new design criteria for an error-reduced OTP. The light source module for the system consists of an incoherent light source and a multimode optical fiber for eliminating speckle and shaping a Gaussian beam Intensity profile. A diffuse-reflective white copy paper, which is attached to the object, makes the light intensity distribution on the change-coupled device(CCD). Since the peak positions of the intensity distribution are not related to the various error sources, a sub-pixel resolution signal processing algorithm that can detect the peak position makes it possible to construct an error-reduced OTP system

Physical interconnect such as Printed Circuit Board(PCB) traces introduces new challenges for parameter extraction and delay calculation for high-speed system design. PCB traces are dominated by frequency dependent LC propagation which makes precharacterization difficult for all possible configurations. Moreover, simulating the transient behavior of the trace for noise and delay analysis requries the combined used of a variety of models and techniques for efficiently handling lossy, low-loss, frequency dependent, and coupled transmission lines together with lumped elements. In this paper we explain how the frequency dependence caused by ground plane proximity and skin effects can be modeled using the adstracted models. These abstracted (lumped) models are SPICE-compatible and can be simulated in time-domain, along with precharacterized lumped parasitic elements and nonlinear driver and load models.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of circular curved beams with thin-walled cross-section. The differential equation for the coupled flexural-torsional vibrations of such beams with warping is solved numerically to obtain natural frequencies and mode shapes. The Runge-Kutta and determinant search methods, respectively, are used to solve the governing differential equation and to compute the eigenvalues. The lowest three natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are calculated for the thin-walled horizontally curved beams with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped-clamped end constraints. A wide range of opening angle of beam, warping parameter, and two different values of slenderness ratios are considered. Numerical results are compared with existing exact and numerical solutions by other methods.
