This paper presents the implementation of a cost-effective didactic prototype, which was designed as a tool for theoretical and practical learning in the biomedical instrumentation area for engineering students. The prototype provides integrated hard...

In the packages and printed circuit boards (PCBs) of high-speed and mixed-signal electronics, parallel plate waveguides (PPWs) are frequently used as the power/ground plane pair, resulting in a significant problem of electrical switching noise such a...

The design of an efficient memory subsystem is a fundamentally challenging task in the design of electronic equipment. The storage hierarchy chosen for a particular design has a significant impact on the overall performance and cost. Flash memory oft...

This paper presents the design and measuring of a 6-bit SiGe BiCMOS digital step attenuator, with a maximum attenuation of 31.5 dB, and with 0.5 dB steps (64 states) that have the lowest RMS amplitude error and a low phase variation. To alleviate the...

The battery is the most ideal power source of the twenty-first century, and has a bright future in many applications, such as portable consumer electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), military and aerospace systems, and power storage for renewable ener...

With the popularization and wide application of drones in military and civilian fields, the safety of drones must be considered. At present, the failure and drop rates of drones are still much higher than those of manned aircraft. Therefore, it is im...

In this paper, an adhesion control strategy based on the wheel-rail adhesion state observation is proposed for high-speed trains. First, the high-speed train single axle dynamics model is established. Then, a modified adhesion control method is propo...

In the process of animal husbandry production through grazing, animals are active in large grassland or mountain areas, and it is very difficult to obtain and deal with the information on animal activity and state of life. In this paper, we propose a...

According to the advantages of integrating wireless sensors networks (WSN) and radio frequency identification (RFID), this paper proposes a novel method for methane gas density monitoring and predicting based on a passive RFID sensor tag and a convol...

The localization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for autonomous landing is challenging because the relative positions of the landing objects are almost inaccessible and the objects have nearly no transmission with UAVs. In this paper, a hierarchic...
