In brief

Abstract

PAGE 632 Chinese researchers propose a symbol cyclic reconstruction scheme for universal-filtered multi-carrier systems (UFMC). The overlap-add technique is used to lower the computational complexity of the system transmitter, with ISI cancellation used at the receiver to remove interference between neighbouring symbols. Simulation results show the superiority of the scheme over state-of-the-art systems. PAGE 616 Researchers from Iran present a monitoring technique for tracking the state-of-health of batteries, suitable for use in battery management systems. The method can detect early degradation of batteries by monitoring the switching and battery transitions in a battery management system. Experiments on a typical charge balancing circuit verify the performance of the technique. Block diagram of SCR-UFMC with multipath fading channels. PAGE 589 Indian researchers propose a novel estimation technique for a noise-influenced electronic circuit, unifying the Carleman linearisation with the Fokker-Planck equation for Itô's Stochastic Differential Equations. Numerical simulation results are presented for a benchmark tunnel diode oscillator circuit. The method may prove useful for estimating state trajectories under the influence of randomness when observations are not possible. Laboratory test bench. PAGE 612 A collaboration of researchers from Japan present an evaluative study on the current and luminance characteristics of powder electroluminescent devices prepared on gravure offset-printed invisible Ag-grid electrodes. Results show that the luminance is strongly dependent on the transparency and light-extraction efficiency of the Ag-grid electrodes. Flow of the proposed estimation technique.. PAGE 609 Researchers from China propose a wideband differential filtering power divider, using a three-lined coupled structure with multiple lumped elements. Compared with other differential filtering power dividers, the proposed design shows the advantages of a wide bandwidth, compact size and low insertion loss. A prototype validates the simulated results. Optical microscopy image of the emitted light from PELDs on the Ag-grid electrodes.
