This paper presents a framework for the self-organization of swarm systems based on coupled nonlinear oscillators (CNOs). In this scheme, multiple agents in a swarm self-organize to flock and arrange themselves as a group using CNOs, which are able to keep a certain distance by the attractive and repulsive forces among different agents. A theoretical approach of flocking behavior by CNOs and a design guideline of CNO parameters are proposed. Finally, the formation scenario for cooperative multi-agent groups is investigated to demonstrate group behaviors such as aggregation, migration, homing and so on. The task for each group in this scenario is to perform a series of processes such as gathering into a whole group or splitting into two groups, and then to return to the base while avoiding collision with agents in different groups and maintaining the formation of each group.

Spin-torque oscillators (STO) is a new device that can be used as a tunable microwave source in various wireless devices. Spin-transfer torque effect in magnetic multilayered nanostructure can induce precession of magnetization when bias current and external magnetic field are properly applied, and a microwave signal is generated from that precession. We proposed a semi-empirical circuit-level model of an STO in previous work. In this paper, we present a refined STO model which gives more accuracy by considering physical phenomena in the calculation of effective field. Characteristics of the STO are expressed as functions of external magnetic field and bias current in Verilog-A HDL such that they can be simulated with circuit-level simulators such as Hspice. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, we discuss an efficient steady-state analysis of reactance oscillators having multiple oscillations. Our oscillator is consisted of the Cauer or Foster reactance sub-circuit and a negative resistor such as tunnel diode. The reactance circuit has many resonance and antiresonance points on the frequency response curve. Such a circuit having the specified resonance and anti-resonance points can be easily synthesized with the fundamental circuit theory. In this case, the multiple oscillations may occur near at the anti-resonance points. We have developed a user friendly simulator for getting the exact steady state responses using the SPICE.

This paper presents a large signal analysis of ring-type oscillators with feed forward and negative skewed delay scheme. The analysis yields the frequency increase factor due to two schemes. The large signal analysis is needed, because small signal model is limited to the initial stage of oscillation[1]. For verification of the frequency increase factor, simulation were done under the same conditions for the two different types of ring oscillators, i.e., with and without feed forward and negative skewed delay scheme. Simulation results are in good agreement with predictions based on analysis.

A hair-pin shaped microstrip-line resonator and dielectric resonator for injection-locked oscillators have been designed and fabricated for the comparative studying of their performances. In general, a commonly used dielectric resonator shows lower phase noise value than hair-pin resonator in the free-running mode. In the injection-locked mode, however, a hair-pin resonator is superior to the dielectric resonator, the wider tuning range, the 22% improved locking bandwidth, the lower noise effect, the short term stability, and the higher power level. The planar structure of a hair-pin shaped microstrip-line resonator will be easily applied to monolithic microwave integrated circuits.

The paper constitutes the second part of the author's study. The first part (Podworna 2010) formulates four fundamental tasks in dynamics of the bridge-track-train systems. The following cyclic moving loads are considered: a concentrated forces stream (model P), an unsprung masses stream (model M), a single-mass viscoelastic oscillators stream (model $M_o$) and a double-mass viscoelastic oscillators stream (model $MM_o$). Three problems precluding to the numerical simulations have been developed, i.e., prediction of the forced resonances, the parameters of integration of equations of motion, the output results. A computer programme was written in Pascal and numerical research in the scope of the fundamental tasks was worked out. The investigations were focused on adequacy evaluation of the moving load models, P, M, $M_o$, $MM_o$, in predicting dynamic processes in railway bridges.

In this paper, improved VCO(voltage controlled oscillator) with push-push structure and high impedance-inverter is designed and implemented. Two harmonic oscillators are combined into push-push structure. As a result, the fundamental suppression and the output power have been progressed. For the improved coupling characteristics between hair-pin resonator and two parallel microstrip line using high impedance inverter, the phase noise has been suppressed.

Novel 622Mb/s burst-mode clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits with muxed oscillators are realized for passive optical network (PON) application. The CDR circuits are implemented with 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process technology. Lock is accomplished on the first data transition and data are sampled in the optimal point. The experimental results show that the proposed CDR circuits recover the incoming 400Mbps-680Mbps burst mode input data without error.

Theoretical expressions are introduced to achieve low phase-noise ring oscillators. Understanding of the relations between the phase-noise and the design parameters leads to the reduction of the phase-noise at the stage of the circuit design. Using expressions from reference, ways of reducing the phase noise are suggested.

A 3-stages Active Microstrip Phased Array Antenn(AMPAA) is implemented using Injection-Locking Coupled Oscillators(ILCO). The AMPAA is a beam scanning active antenna with capability of electrical scanning by frequency varation of ILCO. The synchronization of resonance frequencies in array elements is occured by ILCO, and the ILCO amplifies the injection signal and functions as a phase shifter. The microstrip ptch is operated as a radiation element. The unilateral amplifier is a mutual coupling element of AMPAA, eliminates the reverse locking signal and controls the locking bandwidth of ILCO. The possibility of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits(MMIC) of T/R module is proposed by simplified and integrated fabrication process of AMPAA. The 0.75.$lambda_{0}$ is fixed for a mutual coupling space to wide the scanning angle and minimize the multi-mode. The AMPAA has beam scanning angle of 31.4.deg., HPBW(Half Power Beam Widths) of 26.deg., directive gain of 13.64dB and side lobe of -16.5dB were measured, respectively.
