Abstract
This study highlights the importance of detecting and localizing useful and interference signal extreme points in multiconductor transmission lines (MCTL) by developing a new approach for detecting and localizing signal extreme points in MCTL networks of arbitrary complexity. A radio-electronic component is presented as a network consisting of a number of connected MCTL sections. Each MCTL section is divided into segments and the number of segments is set by the user. The approach is based on a quasi-static calculation of signal waveforms at any point (segment) along each conductor of an MCTL. The block diagrams of the developed algorithms are presented. Using the approach, a number of investigations have been done which include the following: the signal maximum detection and localization in the meander lines with one and two turns, the influence of ultrashort pulse duration on localization of its extreme points in the printed circuit board (PCB) bus of a spacecraft autonomous navigation system, the influence of ultrashort pulse duration on localization of crosstalk extreme points in the PCB bus, and the simulation of electrostatic discharge effects on the PCB bus. There are also some investigations with optimization methods presented. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used to optimize the influence of ultrashort pulse duration on localization of the pulse and crosstalk extreme points in the PCB bus. Furthermore, the GA was used to optimize the PCB bus loads by criteria of the peak voltage minimization. A similar investigation was carried out with the evolution strategy. The obtained results help us to argue that the signal extreme points can be detected both in structures with different configurations and applying different excitations.
Highlights
The increasing complexity of devices being developed and physical processes occurring in them make a mathematical simulation very important, in particular, because a full-scale simulation is more expensive than a mathematical simulation
A lot of conductors create various crosstalk noises and parasitic couplings which complicate the process of diagnosing radio-electronic equipment (REE) because of the necessity to take into account all couplings between conductors [1]
We have developed an approach which is implemented as a special program module in TALGAT software for simulating electromagnetic compatibility problems
Summary
The increasing complexity of devices being developed and physical processes occurring in them make a mathematical simulation very important, in particular, because a full-scale simulation is more expensive than a mathematical simulation. The researchers considered the problem of estimating a signal which has been corrupted with structured noise and proposed an approach for the design optimization of the projection matrix, in which the objective was to decrease the amount of data to be processed and to eliminate the undesired signal components. As a result, they reduced the computation time and the error on the estimation of the unknown parameters of the sparse model, with respect to the uncompressed data.
