In brief

Abstract

PAGE 372 A front-end adaptive folder with a filter is used to instantaneously push jammers to higher frequencies while preserving small signal integrity. Presented by a team of researchers from the USA, combinatorial intrinsic device characteristics are exploited to tune folding points and achieve maximum programmability. PAGE 396 A researcher from Japan has investigated the transmission characteristics of an optical signal which has been converted using detection, modulation and filtering from a high-speed terahertz-wave signal. The converted signal shaped with root Nyquist filters can be transmitted down a 9 km-long fiber without compensation. Received signals with jammer moved to gradually higher frequencies. PAGE 374 Digital signal processing cores are common in consumer electronics and require protection from the hardware threats posed by reverse engineering. A pair of researchers from India present a novel anti-removal logic unit which protects against attacks on functional obfuscation logic. The approach has significant security enhancements over current standards. Measured optical signal spectrum. PAGE 402 The energy storage battery in a microgrid can perform demand side management which requires a bidirectional power transmission control function with constant power. A group of Chinese researchers have designed a boost converter circuit topology followed by a timing trigger mechanism control system, with simulation demonstrating it achieves accurate power reference value tracking. Designer selected AND-OR network. PAGE 365 A pair of researchers from India propose a wideband circularly polarised antenna based on composite metamaterial structures applicable for small satellite applications. A new unit cell artificial magnetic conductor metasurface is used as a ground plane for the antenna which has increased bandwidth, gain and a wider axial ratio bandwidth despite its compact size. An operating mode of the proposed converter. Proposed metamaterial antenna front view.
