where the g, and go are the transconductanceand output conductance of corresponding transistors, C,, is the gate-source capacitance. In the above derivation, we neglect the gate-drain capacitance and finite impedance of the current sources Zb and 4. From eqn. 1, R, is very small since its value is a second-order effect. So we also neglect this series resistor in the following derivation of the self-resonant frequency of the active inductor (a,) and intrinsic quality factor (Q): 2 Wt - gmlgm2 = wtlwta ~ Q -E -4, Rp 1 Cgsl c g s 2 - (2) with ql, at2the unity current-gain frequency of M1 and M2, respectively. A drawback of this active inductor is its low Q value. From eqn. 2, the intrinsic Q value of the active inductor will increase with atland decrease with at2.Note wI1 and q2are proportional to dZ,where Z is biasing current. It is preferred that transistor M1 has higher unity-gain frequency than M2, therefore one approach to increase the intrinsic Q value is to increase the biasing current of M1 while keeping that of M2 constant. The extra biasing current Z,will come from the negative impedance circuit @IC) which will be addressed immediately. The CCO circuit is shown in Fig. 2. PMOS transistors M1-2a, b are two active inductors, V, is a DC biasing voltage for the CG transistors. Mbl-3 are current sources to provide biasing currents for the active inductor pair. Vb b 9 I I ‘c . ’ frequency is tuned by changing the biasing currents of the active inductors (Z, in Fig. 2), thus the equivalent inductance value is tuned while the capacitance is kept the same. Assuming the total capacitance from input stages of NIC and output buffer is C,, the oscillating frequency can be expressed as where k is a factor determined by the spec ratios of Mla (or b) and M2a (or b), respectively. To test the CCO, an output buffer stage with 50Q match has been designed (not shown in Fig. 2). A transformer is employed on the PCB as a balun circuit for test equipments. Measurement results: This circuit has been fabricated in a 0 . 3 5 ~ CMOS process and hosted in a plastic TQFP package. The circuit occupies a very small area (100 x 1 2 0 ~due ) to the use of active inductors. With 3V power supply, a very wide tuning range (from 100 to 900MHz) has been achieved. The phase noise and output power for the above tuning range have been shown in Fig. 3. As can be seen from this Figure, more than 15dBcHz phase-noise difference exists between the two ends of the tuning range. The decrease of output power at high frequency is mainly caused by the output buffer. At the high frequency end, the phase noise is not good enough for most wireless applications.Nevertheless, this circuit may find applications with a relaxed requirement on phase noise and where a wide tuning range is preferred. 0 IEE 2001 14 February 2001 Electronics Letters Online No: 20010347 D 01: IO.1049/el:20010347 Y.

Garcia de Vicuiia and M. Castilla frequency, MHz A simple design for the control circuit of a unity-power-factor Isss/31 Fig. 3 Measured phase noise at 500kHz offset and oscillator output power -0- phase noise -Apower boost pre-regulator is presented. The controller operates in continuous conduction mode and avoids the use of an analogue multiplier and the sensing of the line voltage. The proposed circuit is an interesting solution when high-efficiency and low-cost control circuitry are required. The NIC circuit is composed of a cross-coupled differential pair Mnl, 2. To satisfy the start-up condition of the oscillator, the negative resistance of NIC must overcome the damping resistance of the active inductors and will generate positive poles in s-plane. With the increase of oscillation amplitude, the large-signal response of NIC will bring the poles to left-half plane. A constantamplitude oscillation is built when the NIC cancels all the damping resistance. In the CCO circuit, no varactors are employed. The Introduction: In singlephase power supply systems, the most popular power-factor pre-regulator (PFP) topology is the boost converter, due to its simplicity, low cost, and the continuous character of its input current. In this topology, two control techniques have been traditionally used, namely the voltage follower control and the multiplier approach [l]. In the voltage follower control, the input current follows the line voltage automatically when the boost converter operates at ELECTRONICS LETTERS 12th Aoril7001 Vol. 37 No. 8 473 the boundary between the continuous-conduction mode (CCM) and the discontinuous-conductionmode. In that case, a specific control circuitry is needed to force such operation. Moreover, other features include variable switching frequency and high current stress, which cause high line-current ripple and low efficiency for medium- and high-power applications. The multiplier approach is commonly used in CCM operation when high efficiency is required. In this approach, an active control makes the input current follow the line voltage, using an analogue multiplier to generate the line-current reference signal. This element, however, increases the nonlinearities and the complexity of the control circuitry. Although at present it is possible to use integrated solutions, such as UC3854, the cost of such circuits is slightly higher [2]. Recently, the quasi-steady-state approach has been proposed in the literature for pulsewidth modulation (PWM) controllers to avoid the use of an analogue multiplier [3, 41. Based on this approach, in this Letter we propose an alternative control implementation using sliding mode control theory. The proposed controller operates in CCM and avoids the use of an analogue multiplier, a clock generator, and the sensing of the line voltage. , . , . , ..

IKnI ZL = - (1) Re, Fig. 1 Simplified control diagram 2000pH where iL is the inductor current of the converter and &, is the emulated resistor the values of which are related to the input power and the output voltage. The value of kgmust be controlled to make the average value of the output voltage (V,) follow a reference value V, ref. The control scheme consists of both an outer control loop, which regulates the value of the emulated resistor, and an inner control loop, which is used to make the input current follow a reference value (I VJIReq). To implement the relation (eqn. l), avoiding the sensing of the line voltage and the use of an analogue multiplier, the quasisteady-state approach is considered. According to this approach, the ratio between the line and the output voltage can be approximated by the voltage conversion ratio of a D C D C boost converter. Therefore, the following relationship can be used in the control design MUR1560 where (U) is the average value of the control variable U during a switching period (U = 0 when MI is on and U = 1 when MI is off). Substituting eqn. 2 for eqn. 1 yields a new expression of the control goal . v o .

To achieve the unity-power-factor, the expression (eqn. 4) must be satisfied when the sliding regime is reached. The expression of the required sliding surface can be deduced by identifying the invariance condition S = 0 with eqn. 4: .. 2.00A s = (iL - K .

The control law associated ELECTRONICS LETTERS 12thApril2007 Vol. 37 No. 8 with this surface is deduced by using the reaching condition, S.S < 0 [5], which yields U = { 1 when S > 0 0 when S < 0 Moreover, a proportional-integralcontrol of K has been used to make the output voltage be regulated to a reference value Vo K = Kp(Voref - V O ) + KI /t(vo,.ef -V W ated-emissions above 1GHz typically have lower field-strength levels compared with those below IGHz, so an antenna system having a lower antenna factor (AF) is required. An offset-fed parabolic reflector operated as a CAR can be considered as an alternative to replace the conventional double-ridged horn antenna. Here we consider the AF of such an antenna. (6) Figs. 1 and 2 show the block diagram and the physical implementation of the proposed controller, respectively. To implement the sliding surface, a first-order lowpass filter, an analogue multiplexer, and a proportional-integral controller have been used. Finally, the state of MI is determined by a hysteresis comparator, according to the control law deduced above. Note that a single low-cost integrated circuit is used, resulting in a very simple and cheap solution. Results and conclusions: Fig. 3 shows the experimental line voltage and line current in the steady state. As expected, the line current tracks the shape of the line voltage with a slight distortion. Fig. 4 shows the dynamic behaviour of the converter when the load was subject to a sudden change from 135 to 270Q. The amplitude of the line current varies to regulate the output voltage to the reference value. These results demonstrate that the proposed control circuit can be used to control the boost PFP and that it is an interesting alternative to unity-power-factor integrated control circuits. 0 IEE 2001 21 February 2001 Electronics Letters Online No: 20010359 DOI: 10.1049/el:20010359 0.

The plane-wave field is created by collimating the spherical-waveform of a feed with an offset-fed parabolic reflector. The approximate power density in the aperture can be computed if it is assumed that the plane wave is confined with uniform power density in the collimated region. The approximation can be corrected by a correction factor ( C q derived from the feed radiation pattern. An equal power density can be produced at a specified distance R from an antenna with the same input power and an appropriate gain. This gain can be considered as the effective gain of the CAR associated with the distance R . By reciprocity, the effective gain can then be converted to an antenna factor [l] for the CAR associated with a distance R , i.e.: TODD, P.c.: Antenna factor of compact antenna range for EMC measurements above 1GHz Y.-C. Chung, A.C. Marvin and A.J. Rowel1 A formula is proposed for measuring the antenna factor of an offset-fed parabolic reflector operated as a compact antenna range (CAR) by considering the plane-wave approximation and fielddistribution in the collimated region. The antenna factor is determined from the half power beamwidth (HPBW) of the feed, the physical geometry of the reflector and a field-distribution correction factor. The proposed formula is in good agreement with the measured results using a standard double-ridged hom antenna as the feed. The formula can be used to design CARSfor EMC applications. Introduction: The upper frequency of unwanted radiated-emission measurements is being expanded above lGHz because of the higher clock frequencies of modem electronic products. The radi- ELECTRONICS LETTERS 12th April 2001 where fMHzis the frequency in MHz, R is the distance, d is the diameter of the collimated region, and CF is a correction factor for the field distribution in the collimated region. The distance R is required as the response of the CAR is independent of distance along its radiation axis within the collimated region, whereas the field radiated by a source in free-space is dependent on the distance between the field observation point and the source. The field distribution function across the aperture of the CAR, which determines the correction factor CF, can be adequately described by only considering the amplitude taper [2] across the projected aperture. This is due to the feed pattern and space attenuation between the feed and reflector surface. The correction factor is obtained through numerical integration that includes an asymmetrical field-distribution function due to offset feeding. Fig. 1 shows the correction factor of the offset-fed parabolic reflector used for experiments, where the feed pattern is assumed to be parabolic in dB as Kelleher’s approximation [3]. It can be seen that the correction factor is 0.7 to 7.5dB for variation of the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 10-80”. The broader HPBW has a lower correction factor due to the more uniform distribution in the collimated region. Experimental results and discussions: Experiments were performed using a commercial offset-fed parabolic reflector and a doubleridged horn as a feed. The reflector system has the dimensions shown in Fig. 2. Computed values of the antenna factor are given in Fig. 3. The HPBW data used for calculations range from 66” at lGHz to 34” at 1OGHz. They were obtained from the feed horn manufacturer’scatalogue. The antenna factor of the reflector system for a 3m equivalent distance can be determined using the measured received-voltage Vol. 37 No. 8 475
