Time-and wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical networks (TWDM-PONs) have been selected by the full services access network community as the most suitable technology for next-generation optical access networks. A key technology in TWDM-PON is the colorless optical network unit transceiver. This paper proposes a flexible, tunable optical transceiver that uses directly modulated tunable lasers. Using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), programmable reconfigurations and testing capabilities can be embedded into the transceiver in order to implement wavelength control, signal generation, pre-emphasis for upstream, and a bit error rate (BER) test for the downstream. To ensure high-quality signal generation at different bitrates, impedance matching between the laser driver circuit and the laser diodes is optimized. Using the proposed transceiver, three-section-distributed Bragg reflector tunable lasers at or below 2.5 Gb/s direct modulation through a 40-km standard mode fiber transmission were successfully implemented.

Automation technologies are often impacted undesirably by downtime caused by machine failures. An approach to overcome machine failures is through failures prediction, achievable via the monitoring of power consumption. Unusual power consumption could serve as an alert for possible machines faults. Real-time power consumption monitoring is made possible with the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT), which brings together digital cloud computing and conventional automation technology to rapidly increase the efficiency of production. In this work, the authors have developed an IoT-based power monitoring system to detect unusual power consumption of machines and present the data to users remotely through Android application and cloud storage. The competent integration of Wi-Fi module ESP8266, CT sensor module and field-programmable gate array DE1-SoC board allows the system to accurately measure power consumption and instantaneously store the data in cloud storage. Performance of the developed system was characterised by current measurement of five different loads. The absolute errors, given by the difference between current measured by digital multimeter and the developed system, range from 0.01 to 0.26A. The close agreement between the two measurements endorses the accuracy and reliability of the real-time power monitoring system, on top of its easy-accessibility gifted by IoT.

Thermal issues are rapidly evolving in the field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and are being intensely studied as these issues appear to significantly affect the delay performance of FGPAs. A ring oscillator has been widely used as a digital temperature sensor to sense this thermal effect on FPGAs. The delay generated by the ring oscillator will vary depending on the temperature environment due to negative bias temperature instability, hot carrier injection and electromigration. It is therefore critical to adopt an accurate ring oscillator design to effectively measure the delay in FGPAs. In this study, a digital temperature sensor with a stable ring oscillator is proposed. Measurement periods of 512 and 4096 clock cycles have been implemented and the relationship between temperature, delay and total count has been established. The results show that as the temperature increases to 100 degrees C, the delay decreases by 3.99 and 33.98% for 512 and 4096 clock cycles, respectively. It has been found that in order to reduce the degradation effect on the Virtex-6 FPGA, adopting a measurement period of 512 clock cycles is the best method. The measured data is successfully validated through a set of simulations. Thus, it may benefit a system designer and industrial player, especially in designing temperature-based FPGAs.

The paper analyses a combined current model-voltage model estimator for flux linkages in permanent magnet synchronous machines, with the capability of converging to exact flux estimation even in presence of mismatches because of magnetic saturation. As a trend in next-generation electric drives, the whole algorithm, including both the flux estimator and the standard field-oriented control, has been implemented in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. Simulations and experimental tests, along with some figures for the FPGA selection, have been included in the study.

The integration of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices as co-processing elements in numerous dependable computer systems makes the real-time detection of errors a vital issue. The propagation of FPGA-based application errors can endanger the availability of the hosting computer. Embedded error detection mechanisms should enforce the operation of the FPGA-based systems, in order to prevent system failures. Such monitoring should not interfere with the host PC performance and must also ensure the timely detection of failures. Therefore an embedded error detection and recovery component was designed and implemented, which does not require manual intervention, in order to illustrate the benefits of this approach. A double FPGA board-layout was used to provide the forensic analysis of the dependable workstation's PCI bus activity. The monitor logic specifically targets PCI buses;it is tightly coupled with the PCI core located in a first FPGA device to check the protocol and application errors in PCI activity. Application circuits are configured in the second FPGA.

In this study, the schematics for Magnetic Tunnel Junction-Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MTJ-MRAM) are designed and simulations are carried out in 45 and 90 nm Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology using analog design environment. Other memory circuits like volatile Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) and non-volatile flash memory are designed and behavioural waveforms verified. The output behavioural characteristics of MTJ-MRAM are compared with that of SRAM and flash memory. The attributes like power and delay are calculated and compared with SRAM and flash memory circuits. The study was carried out in order to integrate the non-volatile memory with field-programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture and design a nonvolatile memory-based FPGA. MTJ-MRAM shows better performance than volatile SRAM and non-volatile flash memory in terms of power and delay parameters.

Feedback-controlled electromigration ( FCE) has been employed to control metal nanowires with quantized conductance and to create nanogaps. However, the formation of nanostructures by conventional FCE procedure using a microprocessor-based controller with a general purpose operating system ( GPOS) is considerably slow process. Therefore, we proposed an ultrafast FCE method using a field-programmable gate array ( FPGA) to immediately and precisely control the channel conductance of Au nanowires. In this report, we study the tuning of quantized conductance of Au nanowires by ultrafast FCE using FPGA-based control system with a constant-voltage ( CV) method. First, in the FCE procedure, preset values of quantized conductance of Au nanowires were defined as 25 G(0), 15 G(0), and 5 G(0) ( G(0) = 2e(2)/h). The conductance of the Au nanowires during FCE procedure decreased until the conductance reached the preset values within an order of a millisecond. Furthermore, the quantized conductance plateaus of the Au nanowires were precisely controlled by the CV procedure with the preset values of 15 G(0) and 5 G(0). These results imply that the combination of FCE and CV procedures with FPGA-based control system can precisely and stably tune the channel conductance of Au nanowires with millisecond-scale resolution.

In this paper, we design a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a cognitive radar (CRr) target recognition system for electronic warfare applications. This study expands on the closed-loop adaptive matched waveform transmission technique called probability of weighted energy (PWE). This work also investigates the feasibility of applying the PWE technique in a functional digital hardware realization. Initially, a PWE Monte Carlo simulation model is developed in the Verilog hardware description language that is simulated in the Xilinx Vivado environment. The Verilog module components developed in the Monte Carlo model are then incorporated into a CRr target recognition system experiment utilizing the Xilinx VCU118 Evaluation Board. The VCU118 features the Virtex UltraScale+ high-performance FPGA to accomplish CRr adaptive waveform generation and transmission, digital signal processing requirements, and target classification. The Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A Vector Signal Generator and FSW Signal & Spectrum Analyzer function as the radar system transmitter and receiver, respectively, while the FPGA implementation enables the closed feedback loop used by the CRr.

The design of the baseband board for many types of instrumentation developed is limited to verify its feasibility by implementation. On this basis we propose a detailed feasibility analysis method before the design of the baseband board to prevent the waste of the manpower and time resources because of the shortage of chip resources, which provided a reference for the design of the baseband board. Firstly we determine the model of core processor based on LTE-A characteristics and baseband board requirements;then we focus on the storage capacity and bus capacity of the baseband board to ensure that the selected components have sufficient capacity and margin;fmally we prove the correctness of the feasibility analysis through the test on the baseband board, and it also provides the reference for other hardware chip selection.
