This paper presents the results of the application of a computational fluid dynamics computer program to the simulation of cold and plasma flows in circuit-breakers. The underlying physical model is based on the axisymmetric form of the conservation equations which are coupled with an are model including ohmic heating and radiative exchanges of energy in the fluid. Various cases are computed, ranging from steady cold flow to unsteady arc-flow interaction. A good agreement has been found between the computed solutions and the available experimental data, demonstrating a great potential of these tools for circuit-breaker design and analysis in the future.

A new approach for implementing a parallel VLSI architecture of a simplified Kalman filter (information filter) with unknown noise statistics is described. At the system level, the proposed approach is applied to a semi-systolic VLSI array to accelerate the matrix operations required in each iteration. In order to maximize the parallelism, a new architecture called the tri-trapezoidal array for implementing the Schur complement algorithm is proposed. The computations steps are decomposed into 2(m+1) parts executable in parallel. This decomposition decreases the computation time by 55%. The overall architecture exhibits a high performance and can be used for real time applications.

A generalized calibration and de-embedding technique for reflection-based S-parameter measurements of microwave devices is proposed. This technique allows to perform the two-port calibration of a network analyzer directly from the embedded reflection coefficient measurements. This technique is a general one, in the sense that it can be implemented in network analyzers with or without transmission measurement capabilities.< >

A systematic scaling approach for the modeling of high-power/large-size HBTs is presented. The measured S-parameters of a three elementary-cell HBT are compared to those obtained with the scaled model and the commonly used lumped equivalent circuit model. It is shown that a better fit to the measured S parameters is obtained when the scaled model is used. The interconnections and parasitics between elementary cells are accounted for based on the actual footprint of the device.< >

A novel family of six-port reflectometers, designed in hybrid stripline-waveguide technology, is proposed for high power applications. In principle, there is no limitation in the input power level and the design can be adapted for any waveguide frequency band. A prototype was designed for the operational frequency of 2.45 GHz and measurements were made at power level up to 200 W.< >

This paper presents a new approach to model the yield of a fault-tolerant hierarchical-bus structure, based on the expected value of the number of functional processors. With this method, easily computable mathematical expressions were obtained. Also, a defect tolerant communication network structure is proposed and analyzed in terms of additional hardware cost versus spares allocation. Assuming the network was successfully repaired, global reconfiguration of defective processing modules is then supported. Otherwise some graceful degradation would result. The results obtained, in terms of optimal distribution of spares in the communication network, show that complete duplication is not cost effective. However, redundancy can be added to the uppermost levels of the hierarchical tree in a very effective manner. Two harvest formulas were obtained; the first is an easily computed lower bound, and the second is exact according to the assumed defect density.< >

An active integrated antenna may be defined as a radiating element on which the current distribution along the structure may be altered in a controlled manner. The ability to control the current distribution along its structure is the unique feature of this class of antennas and gives it its primary advantage. With this ability, radiation characteristics such as pattern shape, axial ratio, and gain may all be controlled. An antenna configuration with integrated active devices has been developed [1]. The resultant topology is a microstrip transmission line configuration with cascade distributed amplifiers. This active antenna has been designed, modelled, fabricated, and its radiation characteristics measured. The above capabilities of controlling the radiation characteristics have been verified. The prototype active antenna utilized three packaged amplifiers and a microstrip transmission line on a Duroid substrate (ε r =2.94) (Figure 1). To facilitate the fabrication of active integrated antennas, the application of Miniature Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MHMIC) technology was investigated.
