Abstract This paper presents a miniaturized tri- and quad-band power divider (PD)based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). By adopting different types of modified circular complementary split-ring resonators on the top surface of SIW, multiple passbands are generated propagating below the SIW cut-off frequency. The working principle is based on evanescent mode propagation that decreases the operating frequency of the PD and helps in the miniaturization of the proposed structure. The operating frequency of the proposed PD can be individually controlled by changing the dimensions of the resonator. To verify the proposed concept, a tri-band and a quad-band PD exhibiting 3 dB equal power division at 2.41/3.46/4.65 GHz and 2.42/3.78/4.74/5.8 GHz are designed using the full-wave simulator, validated through circuit model, fabricated and experimentally verified. The measured results agree well with the simulations. The proposed PDs have good performance in terms of reasonable insertion loss, isolation, minimum amplitude and phase imbalance, smaller footprint, easy fabrication and integration. The size of the fabricated prototype is 18.3 mm × 8.4 mm, which corresponds to 0.205λ g × 0.094λ g , λ g being the guided wavelength at the first operating frequency.

This paper presents a design for a dual-band tunable phase shifter (PS) with independently controllable phase shifting between each operating frequency band. The proposed PS consists of a 3-dB hybrid coupler, in which the coupled and through ports terminate with the same two reflection loads. Each reflection load consists of a series of quarter-wavelength (λ/4) transmission lines, λ/4 shunt open stubs, and compensation elements at each operating frequency arm. In this design, a wide phase shifting range (PSR) is achievable at each operating frequency band (fL: lower frequency; fH: higher frequency) by compensating for the susceptance occurring at the co-operating frequency band caused by the λ/4 shunt open stub. The load of fL does not affect the load of fH and vice versa. The dual-band tunable PS was fabricated at fL = 1.88 GHz and fH = 2.44 GHz, and testing revealed that achieved a PSR of 114.1° with an in-band phase deviation (PD) of ± 8.43° at fL and a PSR of 114.0° ± 5.409° at fH over a 100 MHz bandwidth. In addition, the maximum insertion losses were smaller than 1.86 dB and 1.89 dB, while return losses were higher than 17.2 dB and 16.7 dB within each respective operating band.

AbstractThe enormous energy consumed by cloud data centers (CDCs) increases the carbon footprints, operational cost and decreases the system reliability, so it becomes a great challenge for CDCs providers. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is an efficient approach for energy efficiency, which reduces the operating frequency, and supply voltage of the processor during the task’s execution. Recent research shows that scaling of the supply voltage and operating frequency has negative impact on the system’s reliability as it increases transient fault rate of the resources. Thus, the system’s reliability and the energy consumption are two prime concerns in a cloud computing environment that requires attention. Most workflow scheduling algorithms in literature do not consider energy and reliability simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed the ε-fuzzy dominance based reliable green workflow scheduling (FDRGS) algorithm, which optimizes the application’s reliability and energy consumption simultaneously using the ε-fuzzy dominance mechanism. The simulation results obtained using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and gaussian elimination (GE) task graphs manifest that our scheduling algorithm is more efficient in optimizing energy consumption and lifetime system’s reliability jointly than several widely used algorithms. The proposed algorithm will help scientists and engineers for further insight into future research in the area of cloud.

The power transfer efficiency and output power of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system are mainly affected by magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary coils. This paper presents a constant-current series-series compensated WPT system. Based on the bifurcation criteria, kcri and Lcri, the splitting zero phase angle (ZPA) frequencies is adopted as the operating frequency. The proposed system remains fully compensated even under coupling variations, and without ferrite. The current and voltage gains at the operating frequency can be estimated through the primary current and voltage. A phase-locked loop circuit is used to track the corresponding ZPA frequency due to the coil positioning variations. Experimental results have shown that the 1-kW of output power with the satisfied efficiency of 96%.

<p>In this project, the current pumping performances of three high temperature superconducting (HTS) dynamos (mechanically-rotating flux pumps) were investigated. These flux pumps (FPs) were identified as the Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 4 FP respectively. They were modelled using simple DC equivalent circuits and their performances were defined by three output parameters: DC open-circuit voltage (Voc), dynamic resistance (Rd) and DC short-circuit current (Isc). The experimental results showed that these FPs produced non-zero DC output voltages across their stators and each supplied DC output currents into series connected superconducting circuits.  The Gen 1 FP was cooled with liquid nitrogen and operated at 77 K. The stators were made from 12-mm wide copper-coated yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) HTS conductors. The objective of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the rotor magnet size, geometry and orientation (with respect to the stators) on the FP performance. The design parameters, based on the width and the length of the magnet with respect to the stator, for optimal FP performance were determined.  The Gen 2 FP was also cooled with liquid nitrogen and operated at 77 K. The stators were made from 46-mm wide Ag-coated YBCO HTS conductors. The objective of the experiment was to investigate the effect of stator width on the FP performance at various magnet frequencies. This was done by slitting two of the stators to form parallel stators with equal width, but smaller than the original conductor width. The experimental results showed that the FP performance was highly dependent on the operating frequency. Three operating frequency regimes were observed: low, mid and high. At high frequency, the Voc decreased and the Rd increased signifcantly. This was attributed to the local heating effect in the stator due to the increase in the current density. As a result, the FP produced zero output current in this regime. The AC voltage waveforms measured across the stators in different frequency regimes were very different in shapes and amplitudes. Therefore, these waveforms can be used to identify the operating frequency regime of the FP. At some operating frequencies in the mid frequency regime, bi-stable operating modes were observed, each mode resulted in different output parameters.  The Gen 4 FP was constructed in this project. It was cooled via thermal conduction method using a cryorefrigerator system. It had an axial-symmetric stator design where the shape of the stator is cylindrical. The width of the stator was considerably larger compared with the Gen 1 and Gen 2 FPs. The experiment objective was to investigate whether this design would produce a DC current, and then characterise the FP performance at different operating temperatures. The experimental results showed that the time-averaged DC output voltage of the Gen 4 FP was much higher compared with the Gen 1 and Gen 2 FPs. The reason is that it produced a DC output voltage for almost the entire rotor cycle. The experimental results also indicated that the Gen 4 FP has the capability to produce output currents in the kA range.</p>

In this paper, a new design of high gain and wide bandwidth microstrip patch antenna array containing double meander dipole structure is proposed. Two in-phase resonant frequencies in the Ku-band (12–18 GHz) could be achieved in the double meander dipole array structure, which lead to enhance impedance bandwidth without costing extra design section. Besides, further enhanced gain of 2 dBi of the array over the entire operating frequency range has been achieved by introducing a double-layer substrate technique. The proposed antenna has been fabricated using the E33 model LPKF prototyping PCB machine. The measurement results have been performed, and they are in very good agreement with the simulation results. The measured –10 dB impedance bandwidth indicates that the array provides a very wide bandwidth which is around 30% at the center frequency of 15.5 GHz. A stable gain with a peak value of 10 dBi is achieved over the operating frequency range. The E- and H-plane radiation patterns are simulated, and a very low sidelobe level is predicted. The proposed antenna is simple and has relatively low-profile, and it could be a good candidate for millimeter wave communications.
