Network Function of a Circuit

345
Frequency response analysis in electrical circuits provides vital insights into a circuit's behavior as the frequency of the input signal changes. The transfer function, a mathematical tool, is instrumental in understanding this behavior. It defines the relationship between phasor output and input and comes in four types: voltage gain, current gain, transfer impedance, and transfer admittance. The critical components of the transfer function are the poles and zeros.

Maximum Power Transfer

Numerous practical applications within engineering disciplines, such as telecommunications, necessitate optimizing power delivery to a connected load. This pursuit, however, entails inherent internal losses, which can either equal or exceed the power supplied to the load. The Thevenin equivalent circuit is helpful in finding the maximum power a linear circuit can deliver to a load. It is assumed in this context that the load resistance can be adjusted.
By substituting the entire circuit with...

Cable Subjected to a Distributed Load

The analysis of suspension bridges is a complex and critical process that involves multiple factors, including the shape and tension of the main cables. The main cables of suspension bridges are subjected to distributed loads, which result in changes in tensile forces and deformation of the cable. These loads must be carefully considered to ensure that the bridge is safe and capable of supporting the weight of different loads.

Dual Nature of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation

2.2K
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation consists of electric and magnetic field components oscillating in planes perpendicular to each other and mutually perpendicular to radiation propagation through space. EM radiation can be classified as a wave, characterized by the properties of waves such as wavelength (denoted as λ) and frequency (represented by ν).
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (the highest point) or troughs (the lowest point) in the wave. Frequency is the...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

4.0K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Wireless Communication

Background:

  • Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) offers significant benefits for Wi-Fi uplink, including reduced network congestion and channel access delay.
  • Traditional Wi-Fi random access protocols struggle to leverage OFDMA effectively in dense networks due to frame collisions, preventing timely uplink transmissions.

  • To optimize network performance by maximizing throughput and minimizing latency in dense Wi-Fi environments.

Main Methods:

  • Developed CFX, a scheme that guarantees users contention-free transmission opportunities immediately following another user's transmission.
  • Integrated CFX with the existing 802.11ax Buffer Status Report/BSR Poll (BSR/BSRP) protocol using a shared channel access approach.
  • Employed an actor-critic proximal policy optimization (PPO)-based deep reinforcement learning method for sum throughput maximization.

Main Results:

  • CFX significantly improves Wi-Fi uplink throughput and reduces channel access delay.
