The proposed PA works as a multimode structure with configurable data rate and output power. The programmable data rate function is achieved by duty cycle adjustment of input data and producing input RZ-data by a simple circuit, which leads to a linear scale of data rate with power consumption. This implies that any desired level of output power can be transmitted with different power consumption according to the power budget. The RZ-data is also utilized to perform the output power reconfiguration. The PA represents data rate of 0.3Mb/s to 3Mb/s and it can deliver output power level from -23dBm to 0dBm. During data rate adjustment, power consumption varies from 0.099mW to 0.99mW when the output power is 0dBm. Also, PA consumes 0.07mW to 0.99mW at the output power tuning range with a data rate of 3Mb/s.}, Keywords = {Power Amplifier, PA, Configurable, RZ-OOK Modulation, Data Rate, Low Power Consumption}, volume = {6}, Number = {2}, pages = {16-31}, publisher = {Sahand University of Technology}, url = {http://journals.sut.ac.ir/jnsee/article-1-254-en.html}, eprint = {http://journals.sut.ac.ir/jnsee/article-1-254-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nonlinear Systems in Electrical Engineering}, issn = {2322-3146}, eissn = {2322-3146}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Dolatshahi, Mehdi and Mirsanei, Seyed Mehdi and AmirkhanDehkordi, Mehrdad and Zohoori, Soore}, title = {Analyzing the Effect Adding an Active Feedback Network with an Inductive behavior to a Common-Gate Topology as a Transimpedance Amplifier for Low-Power and Wide-Band Communication Applications}, abstract ={  Common Gate (CG) topologies are commonly used as the first stage in Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIA), due to their low input resistance. But, this structure is not solely used as a TIA and comes with other topologies such as differential amplifiers or negative resistances and capacitances. This paper deals with analyzing the effect of adding an active feedback network to a common gate topology. Generally, the feedback network is used to reduce the input resistance of the CGs topology, but in this paper it is shown that an active feedback network, which occupies a small area, not only reduces further the input resistance of CG topologies, but also forms an active inductive behavior, which can be used to resonate with the large parasitic capacitance of the photodiode and hence obtain a wide bandwidth. Mathematical analysis is done in this paper to prove the existence of this active inductor, which is also proved in the simulations. Finally, it is shown that this stage alongside its active feedback can be used as a high-speed and low-power transimpedance amplifier for optical communication applications.}, Keywords = {Transimpedance amplifier, optical communication receiver, Active feedback, Low power, Wide bandwidth.}, volume = {6}, Number = {2}, pages = {32-50}, publisher = {Sahand University of Technology}, url = {http://journals.sut.ac.ir/jnsee/article-1-306-en.html}, eprint = {http://journals.sut.ac.ir/jnsee/article-1-306-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nonlinear Systems in Electrical Engineering}, issn = {2322-3146}, eissn = {2322-3146}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Tavasolian, Fazeleh and Khotanlou, Hassan and Varshovi-Jagharagh, Payam}, title = {Forward kinematic analysis of planar parallel robots using a neural network-based approach optimized by machine learning}, abstract ={The forward kinematic problem of parallel robots is always considered as a challenge in the field of parallel robots due to the obtained nonlinear system of equations. In this paper, the forward kinematic problem of planar parallel robots in their workspace is investigated using a neural network based approach. In order to increase the accuracy of this method, the workspace of the parallel robot is divided into a number of smaller subspaces using the classifier and the boundary overlap method. After estimating the corresponding subspace, two separate neural networks are used in each subspace to determine the position and orientation of the moving platform. This approach is implemented on a 3-PRR planar parallel robot and its results are compared with the results obtained from the MLP, WaveNet, GMDH, Dual and Independent neural networks. Moreover, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method, a circular motion path is simulated using this approach and its performance is compared with the five mentioned methods.

To achieve this goal, first, the additive and polytopic uncertainties are formulated in the nonlinear uncertain system. Then, the control policy is chosen as a state feedback control law in order to minimize a given cost function at each known sample-time. Finally, the robust MPC problem is transformed into another optimization problem subject to some linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints. The controller gains are determined via the online solution of the proposed minimization problem in real-time. The suggested method is simulated for a second order nonlinear uncertain system.
