The main motivation of this dissertation is to contribute to the development of symbolic algebra in scope of electronic circuits analysis. A new original method for symbolic analysis of electronic ...circuits has been developed and implemented. In contrary to other commonly used methods for symbolic circuit analysis the specificity of this method lies in the fact that it is entirely topology oriented. The proposed procedure provides exact symbolic network function purely by inspecting the topology of the circuit. The method introduces a graph representation of the factorization process, that is constructed directly from a given circuit description. The dissertation is a synthesis of author's published results as well as more recent unpublished material that has emerged during the development of the dissertation. Symbolic analysis is a procedure that generates a circuit function in the form of algebraic expressions such that some or all of the circuit elements and complex frequency are represented by symbolic variables. Unlike the numerical circuit analysis, which provides only quantitative information, symbolic circuit analysis (SCA) provides information of the qualitative contribution of each circuit parameter to the network function. Practically, SCA is mutually complementary to the numerical based electronic circuit analysis. The main drawback of SCA is exponential growth of circuit function intricacy, memory and time requirements with the circuit complexity. Therefore, a hierarchical approach is advisable for treating complex circuits. The technique of hierarchical decomposition of complex circuits results with compact symbolic expressions in nested form. Several methods have been developed to generate nested symbolic expressions of the circuit function using hierarchical decomposition. Some of these methods are graph based and some are matrix based. The most of the modern procedures for symbolic analysis are matrix based. A good representative to the efforts that SCA community spends in this direction is Determinant Decision Diagram method (DDD). Recently presented results proved its efficiency.
The behavior of light in small scale optics or nano/micro optical devices has shown promising results, which can be used for basic and applied research, especially in nanoelectronics. This book ...presents the use of optical nonlinear behaviors for spins, antennae, and whispering gallery modes within micro/nano devices and circuits, which can be used in many applications. It book proposes a new design for a small scale optical device-a microring resonator device. Most chapters are based on the proposed device, which uses a configuration know as a PANDA ring resonator. Analytical and numerical methods demonstrate that many applications can be exploited using this device, in particular when it is coated with metallic material.
The book begins with the background and description of the PANDA ring resonator. The authors examine optical bistability in microring resonators and test the analytical results with those predicted by the OptiFDTD software package. They then describe their new design for a microring resonator device, which can be used to generate four forms of light on a chip, while also allowing the storing and harvesting of trapped atoms/molecules. The four behaviors of light, for instance, fast, slow, stopping, and storing, can be manipulated and seen simultaneously by using the PANDA ring planar waveguide, which can be fabricated and tested on-chip.
Since the second edition of this book was published in 1996, planar transmission line technology has progressed considerably due to developments in ultrawideband (UWB) communications, imaging, and ...RFID applications. In addition, the simultaneous demands for compactness of wireless electronic devices while meeting improved performance requirements, necessitates increased use of computer-aided design, simulation, and analysis by microwave engineers. This book is written to help engineers successfully meet these challenges. Details include the development of governing equations, basis functions, Greens function and typical results. More than 1200 equations supplement the text. Special attention is given to the use of simulation software in the design of complex devices and understanding the connection between data collected from simulation software and the actual design process.The book is primarily intended for microwave design engineers and R&D specialists who need to employ planar transmission lines in designing distributed circuits and antenna systems for a wide range of wireless applications. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electronics and telecommunication engineering will also welcome this addition to your library.
