The document describes the design of a concurrent triple-band low noise amplifier (LNA) that operates at 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.2 GHz. A cascode structure with a source degeneration inductor is used. The input matching network employs a multi-element LC filter to match the input to 50 ohms across all three bands. Separate output resonance circuits are used for each band. Simulation results show the LNA achieves good input matching and noise figure across bands while providing sufficient gain and linearity.

A Technique for Dynamic Range Improvement of Intermodulation Distortion Produ...Pete Sarson, PH.D
This paper describes a phase switching algorithm for Interpolating Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) based Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG). This was possible by using the standard phase switching algorithm with the addition of simple phase offset and systematic phase difference adjustment; this was discovered by experimenting with suppression of the intermodulation distortion (IMD) components of a two-tone signal. In this case, we examine the 3rd, 5th and 7th order IMD tones and the effect of the phase switching algorithm and phase shift has on the AWG by measurement with a digitizer. Then we show what the effect of the developed two-tone phase switching technique has upon the performance measurement of a 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). It is shown that using the original algorithm, no improvement could be achieved for the odd order IMD products. However, by using an even order suppression technique (another phase difference) with a phase shift, a suppression was achieved compared to the standard two-tone signal generation (without phase switching). We show how this technique allows the use of a low-cost tester resource to test IMD products with a higher dynamic range than was previously possible.

Fast Thermo-Optic Optimization of High-Order SOI Microring Optical Filters be...TylerJamesZimmerling
We experimentally demonstrated a fast optimization algorithm based on the method of gradient descent for
achieving optimum spectral response of high-order silicon microring optical filters. The filter optimization was
performed on a 4th-order serially-coupled silicon microring filter by thermo-optically tuning the microring resonances using Ti/W heaters. Three different optimization objective functions were used to obtain the optimum
filter shape, namely, the single-wavelength method, the dual-wavelength method, and the total transmitted power
method. The efficacy of each optimization method was evaluated and compared based on the number of required
iterations, the ideality of optimized response, and the wavelength tuning accuracy.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
