Very small electromechanical coupling coefficient in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) or acoustic resonators is quite of a concern for oscillator performance, specially at mmWave frequencies. This small coefficient is the manifestation of the small ratio of motional capacitance to static capacitance in the resonators. This work provides a general solution to overcome the problem of relatively high static capacitance at mmWave frequencies and presents analysis and design techniques for achieving extremely low phase noise and a very high figure-of-merit (FoM) in an on-chip MEMS resonator based mmWave oscillator. The proposed analysis and techniques are validated with design and simulation of a 30 GHz oscillator with MEMS resonator having quality factor of 10,000 in 14 nm GF technology. Post layout simulation results show that it achieves a phase noise of -132 dBc/Hz and FoM of 217 dBc/Hz at offset of 1 MHz.

(RFT) allows very high-Q active mode resonators, promising crystal-less monolithic clock generation for mmWave systems. However, there is a strong need for design of mmWave oscillators that utilize the high-Q of active-mode RFT (AM-RFT) optimally, wh
ile handling unique challenges such as resonators low electromechanical transduction. In this brief, we develop a theory and through design and post-layout simulations in 14 nm Global Foundry process, we show the first active oscillator with AM-RFT at 30 GHz, which improves the fundamental limits of phase noise and figure-of-merit as compared to the oscillators with conventional LC resonators. For AM-RFT with Q factor of 10K, post layout simulation results show that the proposed oscillator exhibits phase noise less than -140 dBc per Hz and figure-of-merit greater than 228 dBc per Hz at 1 MHz offset for 30 GHz center frequency, which are more than 25 dB better than the existing monolithic LC oscillators.
Beamforming technology is widely used in millimeter wave systems to combat path losses, and beamformers are usually selected from a predefined codebook. Unfortunately, the traditional codebook design neglects the beam squint effect, and this will cau
se severe performance degradation when the bandwidth is large. In this letter, we consider that a codebook with fixed size is adopted in the wideband beamforming system. First, we analyze how beam squint affects system performance when all beams have the same width. The expression of average spectrum efficiency is derived based on the ideal beam pattern. Next, we formulate the optimization problem to design the optimal codebook. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed codebook deals with beam squint by spreading the beam coverage and significantly mitigates the performance degradation.
Power transfer limits or transfer capability (TC) directly relate to the system operation and control as well as electricity markets. As a consequence, their assessment has to comply with static constraints, such as line thermal limits, and dynamic c
onstraints, such as transient stability limits, voltage stability limits and small-signal stability limits. Since the load dynamics have substantial impacts on power system transient stability, load models are one critical factor that affects the power transfer limits. Currently, multiple load models have been proposed and adopted in the industry and academia, including the ZIP model, ZIP plus induction motor composite model (ZIP + IM) and WECC composite load model (WECC CLM). Each of them has its unique advantages, but their impacts on the power transfer limits are not yet adequately addressed. One existing challenge is fitting the high-order nonlinear models such as WECC CLM. In this study, we innovatively adopt double deep Q-learning Network (DDQN) agent as a general load modeling tool in the dynamic assessment procedure and fit the same transient field measurements into different load models. A comprehensive evaluation is then conducted to quantify the load models impacts on the power transfer limits. The simulation environment is the IEEE-39 bus system constructed in Transient Security Assessment Tool (TSAT).
With the explosively increasing demands on the network capacity, throughput and number of connected wireless devices, massive connectivity is an urgent problem for the next generation wireless communications. In this paper, we propose a grant-free ac
cess protocol for massive connectivity that utilizes a large number of antennas in a base station (BS) and is expected to be widely deployed in cellular networks. The scheme consists of a sparse structure in sparse code multiple access (SCMA) and receiver processing based on dictionary learning (DL). A large number of devices can transmit data without any scheduling process. Unlike existing schemes, whose signal schedulings require a lot of overhead, the scheduling overhead required by the proposed scheme is negligible, which is attractive for resource utilization and transmission power efficiency. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme has promising performance in massive connectivity scenario of cellular networks.
Applications towards 6G have brought a huge interest towards arrays with a high number of antennas and operating within the millimeter and sub-THz bandwidths for joint communication and localization. With such large arrays, the plane wave approximati
on is often not accurate because the system may operate in the near-field propagation region (Fresnel region) where the electromagnetic field wavefront is spherical. In this case, the curvature of arrival (CoA) is a measure of the spherical wavefront that can be used to infer the source position using only a single large array. In this paper, we study a near-field tracking problem for inferring the state (i.e., the position and velocity) of a moving source with an ad-hoc observation model that accounts for the phase profile of a large receiving array. For this tracking problem, we derive the posterior Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (P-CRLB) and show the effects when the source moves inside and outside the Fresnel region. We provide insights on how the loss of positioning information outside Fresnel comes from an increase of the ranging error rather than from inaccuracies of angular estimation. Then, we investigate the performance of different Bayesian tracking algorithms in the presence of model mismatches and abrupt trajectory changes. Our results demonstrate the feasibility and high accuracy for most of the tracking approaches without the need of wideband signals and of any synchronization scheme. signals and of any synchronization scheme.
