Design and Analysis of a Continuously Tunable Low Noise Amplifier for Software Defined Radio
(MDPI, 2019)This paper presents the design and analysis of a continuously tunable low noise amplifier (LNA) with an operating frequency from 2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz. Continuous tuning is achieved through a radio frequency impedance transformer ... -
Design and Analysis of a Reconfigurable Gilbert Mixer for Software-Defined Radios
A reconfigurable gm-boosted, image-rejected downconversion mixer is presented in this paper using the SiGe 8 HP technology. The proposed mixer operates within 0.9–13.5 GHz that is suitable for software-defined radio ... -
Design and Implementation of a Self-powered Smart Water Meter
(MDPI, 2019)Smart cities require interactive management of water supply networks and water meters play an important role in such a task. As compared to fully mechanical water meters, electromechanical water meters or fully electronic ... -
The Design and Performance of a Novel Low Cost All Polymer Flat Plate Solar Collector
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2015)One of the major barriers to the uptake of solar water heating is the initial cost of these systems. The use of polymers as an alternative to the commonly used metal and glass structure could lead to significant reductions ... -
Design for Biodiversity: a new approach for ecologically sustainable product design?
(New Zealand Society for Sustainability Engineering and Science (NZSSES), 2010)McDonough and Braungart proposed the “Cradle to Cradle” design framework to provide solutions to the world’s current ecological crisis. This approach, based on examples from nature, ensures that human activities can have ... -
Design Improvisation for Reduced Harmonic Distortion in a Flux Pump Integrated HTS Generator
(MDPI AG, 2017)This paper presents a design improvisation of a flux pump-integrated 10 kW high-temperature superconducting (HTS) proof of concept generator for reduced harmonic distortion. To carry out the design improvisation, a finite ... -
Design methods toolbox: supporting self-directed learning through innovative teaching and learning resources
(AUT University, 2010)This paper presents a resource developed as part of an innovative teaching and learning project aimed at developing, facilitating and supporting student-directed learning in the Product Design programme at AUT University, ... -
Design of an Efficiency Improved Dual-Output DC-DC Converter Utilizing a Supercapacitor Circulation Technique
(IEEE, 2016)The Supercapacitor Assisted Low Dropout Regulator (SCALDO) is a novel approach to achieving high end-to-end efficiency (ETEE) in linear, step-down, DC-DC converters. This is a patented technique and it has been well ... -
Design of an X-Band Feed System for the Auckland University of Technology 30m Diameter Warkworth Radio Telescope
(IEEE, 2017)An innovative way to nest a new X-band feed system inside an existing C-band feed system is proposed. -
Design of Continuously Tunable Low Noise Amplifier for Multiband Radio
(IEEE, 2017)This paper presents the design of continuously tunable low noise amplifier with frequency tuning range from 2.2 to 2.8 GHz. The amplifier achieves input matching and tunability through a transformer based input matching ... -
The Design of Control Strategy for Blended Series-Parallel Power-Split PHEV – a Simulation Study
(International Association of Research and Science, 2017)Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been extensively researched to reduce the fuel consumption and tailpipe emission. The series-parallel power-split Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has been considered as one of the most suitable ... -
Design Social: Uma Experiência Educativa Da Nova Zelândia
