- Current-Mode Modeling for Peak, Valley and Emulated Control Methods
- Current-mode operation: An ideal current-mode converter is only dependent on the dc or average inductor current. The inner current loop turns the inductor into a voltage-controlled current source, effectively removing the inductor from the outer voltage control loop at dc and low frequency. The modulator gain is dependent on the...

- Architectural Decisions and Patterns for Transactional Workflows in SOA
- An important architectural style for constructing enterprise applications is to use transactional workflows in SOA. In this setting, workflow activities invoke distributed services in a coordinated manner, using transaction context-propagating messages, coordination protocols, and compensation logic. Designing such transactional workflows is a time-consuming and error-prone task requiring deep subject matter...

- Joint compensation of Transmitter and Receiver Impairments in OFDM Systems
- The implementation of OFDM-based systems suffers from impairments such as in-phase and quadrature-phase (IQ) imbalances in the front-end analog processing. Such imbalances are caused by the analog processing of the Radio Frequency (RF) signal and can be present at both the transmitter and receiver. The resulting IQ distortion limits the...

- Phase Noise compensation for OFDM WLAN Systems Using Superimposed Pilots
- In this paper, a novel phase-error estimation technique for OFDM based WLAN system is proposed. The proposed technique utilizes superimposed (or embedded) pilots for phase-tracking within OFDM data packet. This leads to saving transmission bandwidth, which is lost in the conventional phase-error estimation schemes with dedicated pilot subcarriers. Moreover, this...
