This paper presents a millimeter-wave frequency multiplier (FM)-based RF beamforming front-end (FE) suitable for high-frequency vector signal transmission. The design considerations (i.e., tuning range, phase resolution, and magnitude variation) of the phase shifter are discussed in the context of FM-based FE. These considerations guided the design of the proposed FE which incorporates an 8-bit phase shifter, a driver amplifier, and a frequency doubler with their matching networks co-designed to minimize the FE area. A proof-of-concept prototype is designed using 45-nm CMOS-SOI technology. The measurements conducted at 62 GHz output frequency showed an average conversion gain (CG) of 5.7 dB, a doubler drain efficiency of 22.7%, and an FE drain efficiency of 16%. When the phase is varied to cover the full 360° in a step of 2.8° with an RMS phase error of 0.57°, the CG deviated by a maximum of ±0.35 dB. Using a low-complexity digital pre-distortion technique, the designed FE maintained an error vector magnitude of -30 dB and an average drain efficiency of 6% when used to generate a 256-QAM 200 MHz orthogonal frequency division multiplexing vector modulated signal and the phase is varied to cover the full 360°.

A parallel consequent pole PM-assisted 2-layer subharmonic machine consisting of dual inverter topology is proposed here, which is designed to enhance torque generation and control compared to its predecessors. The stator of the sub-harmonic synchronous machine has two sets of 3-phase windings, and the dual inverter supplies current to them separately. Similarly, the rotor has two concentric windings, one for field excitation and the other for harmonic excitation. To validate the proposed model, an 8-pole, 48-slot, 2-inverter, 2-layer sub-harmonic machine is designed and simulated through 2-D finite element analysis. The results show a better torque and performance than the subharmonic and wound field synchronous machines.

The importance of short-term solar radiation forecasting for power system use and management cannot be overstated. However, Non-stationarity and unpredictability make accurate forecasting difficult. Time series approaches are suitable for forecasting stationary time series derived from a non-stationary sequence. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) are time-domain decomposition methods used to separate the components of the original solar radiation time series that have distinct time 1 -scale characteristics. As a result, the components are forecasted using the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) model, which is a simple and effective machine learning method. This paper presents a hybrid EMD/EEMD-BPNN model for predicting short-term solar irradiance. To identify unique data information at different time scales, EMD/EEMD first breaks up the solar radiation time series into several stationary or fundamental sub-series. The next step is to create BPNN models with specified parameters for each subsequence to forecast new ones. Finally, each subsequence's projected value is combined to generate the final forecast result. The accuracy of solar forecasts has greatly increased, especially when utilizing hybrid methods. Furthermore, using the proposed hybrid technique for multistep forecasting resulted in even more improvement. The basic BPNN model for 15 min time step achieves predicting with a root mean square error (RMSE) of roughly 416.04 W/m2 for 15min; however, this error decreases to 65.25 W/m2 with the EMD-Hybrid Model, and 32.86 W/m2 with the EEMD-Hybrid Model. In addition, the results of the skill score have proven clearly that EMD/EEMD-BPNN Model performs better compared to typical BPNN using several meteorological inputs

Although Collaborative Deep Neural Network (CDNN) promises to be an alternative mechanism to mitigate the effects of the untrusted cloud, this approach is susceptible to other kinds of adversarial attacks, which arise from one or more untrusted devices in CDNN acting maliciously. However, since each untrusted node in the CDNN contains only partial information of the complete DNN model, it is worth investigating whether the attacker can still muster a viable threat to CDNN or not. This led to the investigation of attack scenarios and their effects on convolutional neural networks (CNN) used for image classification in the CDNN environment. In this research, we are investigating the shortcomings of existing attacks on CDNN, that lead to non-subtle attack to the defender who is on look out against such attacks. Our research showed that sparse nature of feature maps (FMs) due to the ReLU function lead to many existing attacks more obvious to the attacker. Next, we investigated how one can detect the existing attacks if the defender has some previous knowledge of the complete CNN’s FMs. Our results show minimal detection overhead of about 2%, with an accuracy of 95% and F1 score of above 0.97.
