A low-voltage and low-power RF mixer for WCDMA applications is presented. The paper presents a novel topology mixer that leads to a better performance in terms of isolation and power consumption for low supply voltage. The measuring results of the proposed mixer achieve: 7dB power conversion gain, 10.4dB double side band (DSB) noise figure,-2dBm input third-order intercept point (IIP3), and the total dc power consumption of this mixer including output buffers is 2.2mW from a 1V supply voltage. The current output buffer is about 1.96mW, the excellent LO-RF, LO-IF and RF-IF isolation achieved up to 49dB, 39.5dB and 57.3dB, respectively.
Techniques of numerical simulation on mold filling process of casting are investigated in this paper. The mathematical model is formed on the ground of some selected theories in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Numerical Heat Transfer (NHT) and computational methods to interfacial tracking. The discrete solution to the governing equations appeals to Finite Volume Method (FVM) on structured mesh. As for viscous turbulence flow and multiphase fluid flow in mold filling, engineering turbulence model and Volume of Fluid (VOF) method are adopted in the algorithms, respectively. As a debut, the general-purpose CFD software is used to establish the practicable mechanical model for the simulation. By means of numerical simulation, variation and distribution of velocity, temperature, stress and configuration of casting, etc. with respect to time and space in the filling process can be quantitatively analysed in detail, which is helpful for engineers to optimize their design of technics with less time and less cost and is meaningful to provide the subsequent simulation, solidification process of casting, with initial conditions.
The development of fault detection and diagnosis system is accomplished with the application of PXI interface technology, modular instrument and signal processing technology. The total technical scheme of host computer, portable test platform, signal adapter unit, test interface and cable together with peripheral components is introduced in the presented system. Consequently, the hardware includes master computer (fault test and diagnosis platform), PXI-bus data acquisition system, signal interface adapter, power supply system, interface unit, connection cable and peripheral dedicated test equipments. And the software is developed by C and LabWindows/CVI based on Win32 operating system. In addition, the modular and object-oriented programming are adopted in the software development. The software consists of three parts: the master program running on test and diagnosis platform, the client software module on signal adapter unit as well as the remote interface software module. It can implement fault detection of electrical system on replaceable circuit board and block of the hydraulic system or electrical system. So it can help equipment repairmen and operator perform quick repairs and maintenance to the electrical system for engineering equipment.
