Abstract
A multi-step deadbeat predictive control method for permanent magnet synchronous motors based on fuzzy adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) parameter identification is proposed to address the problem of performance degradation under parameter mismatch conditions. First, this method dynamically adjusts the learning factors of the PSO algorithm through fuzzy control, improving the convergence speed and stability of parameter identification. Secondly, this method can accurately identify key parameters such as stator resistance, inductance, and permanent magnet flux without the need for additional injection of excitation signals injections, effectively solving the problem of the under rank model under rank in traditional identification methods. The experimental results demonstrate that this method significantly improves the dynamic response speed and steady-state control accuracy of the system under parameter mismatch conditions, effectively suppresses speed fluctuations and current surges, improves current ripple characteristics, and provides a high-performance solution for high-precision driving scenarios such as CNC machine tools.

Intelligent Harmonic Current Suppression Algorithm for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors in Industrial Servo Systems
Xing Zhang, Lin Wang, Lihui Guo, Guanghui Zhu, Shibo Jin and Yanyan Ye
A dual adaptive neural network-based harmonic compensation algorithm is proposed to improve the low-speed machining accuracy of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. First, the mechanism of harmonic current generation and its influence on torque ripple and speed fluctuation in PMSMs is analyzed. Second, the structure of the dual adaptive neural network is designed: the first network is used to extract harmonic current components in real time, and the second network dynamically generates corresponding harmonic voltage compensation signals to suppress current distortion, with the advantages of fast dynamic response and high compensation accuracy. Finally, the proposed method is verified on an experimental platform. The experimental results show that the 6th harmonic amplitude is suppressed from 0.094 to 0.016, and the 12th harmonic amplitude is reduced from 0.025 to 0.004, which is significantly better than the traditional compensation method. The proposed algorithm effectively reduces torque ripple and speed fluctuations, thereby improving the control accuracy and machining performance of the PMSM drive system.

Design of an Ultra-Wideband LDMOS Power Amplifier Based on a Two-Stage Harmonic Suppression Network
Tianyi Li, Jingchang Nan, Jiawei Wang and Jesur Turxun
This study proposes an improved output matching design technique based on a two-stage harmonic suppression network, with the core innovation being a hybrid matching mode combining microstrip lines and lumped-parameter components in the output matching. In the first-stage harmonic suppression network, a third-order Butterworth filter serves as the prototype. Utilizing the Richards transformation and Kuroda rule, it is converted into a cross-shaped microstrip line, achieving high-frequency matching while suppressing second-harmonic components. The second-stage harmonic suppression network employs two series-connected LC resonant circuits to suppress third- and fifth-harmonics, respectively. To broaden bandwidth and enhance circuit stability, an improved negative feedback structure based on a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter prototype is introduced. Practical circuit testing within the 0.4-1.2 GHz operating bandwidth demonstrated output power ranging from 40.1 to 41.3 dBm and drain efficiency exceeding 51.63%, robustly validating the effectiveness of this approach.

Enhanced Gain Ultra-Wideband Antenna with Different Notch Response
Mohammed Fadhel Hasan, Hussein Al-Jeshami, Hussam Al-Saedi, Hussain A. Hammas, Muhannad Y. Muhsin and Jawad K. Ali
This article presents an enhanced-gain ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with multiple notch responses to suppress the effects of coexisting wireless systems. The proposed antenna is developed in two stages. In the first stage, a reduced-ground U-shaped monopole with parasitic patches was designed to obtain a wide bandwidth between 3.02 and 10.76 GHz while maintaining a peak realized gain higher than 7 dB. In the second stage, selective frequency-rejection capabilities are tuned using split-ring structures (SRSs) for dual and higher-order notch responses. Two configurations are studied: dual-set SRS, which gives rise to low and high region notches centered at 5.73 GHz and 8.31 GHz, respectively, and higher-order SRS notch configuration providing a broad notch about 6.78 GHz with a 5.45% fractional rejection bandwidth. Parametric analysis indicated that the notch depth, notch bandwidth, and center frequency were independent and could be controlled via geometric tuning. The simulated results, supported by measurements from Keysight's PNA-X, corroborate the reflection coefficient, gain behavior, and notch performance; any deviations are attributed to variations experienced during the fabrication. The proposed approach achieves a UWB, increased gain, and flexible interference suppression, qualifying it for modern UWB communication systems that require a compact design.

Mode Analysis for Prediction of Heating Patterns in Microwave Cavities Powered by Magnetron
Freda Carvalho, Ashwini Kotrashetti and Kaustubh Bhattacharyya
Microwave heating, widely employed in the food industry, offers significant advantages due to its volumetric heating capabilities. However, its efficiency is often hindered by non-uniform heating patterns. This study aims to analyse heating patterns in a rectangular, single-fed domestic microwave oven, leveraging cost-effective methodologies. Theoretical analyses, electromagnetic simulations, and experimental measurements were conducted to characterise the resonant modes within an empty cavity and with a load. The mathematical computation of multiple mode superposition within the cavity was performed for two domestic microwave ovens. Mathematical and experimental analyses demonstrate a close agreement in results. The findings reveal that mode distribution, influenced by cavity dimensions, load properties, load placement, and magnetron characteristics, significantly impacts heating patterns. This study helps us understand that in spite of the dynamic nature of magnetron, it is important to superimpose multiple resonant modes prevalent within the cavity to understand influences on microwave heating pattern of any food materials.

Design of a π-Type Broadband Flat Negative Group Delay Circuit
Aixia Yuan, Zhiyang Feng, Junzheng Liu, Yuwei Meng, Niannan Chang and Hongjun Zhang
This study proposes a novel π-type circuit topology designed to achieve broadband and flat negative group delay (NGD) characteristics. Featuring a simple structure composed entirely of passive lumped elements, the proposed design offers significant advantages in terms of ease of fabrication, low cost, and seamless integration into larger microwave systems. First, a comprehensive theoretical analysis was conducted to establish the operational principles and derive the design equations. We then systematically investigated the sensitivity of the circuit's performance to variations in individual component values, which provides crucial guidelines for practical implementation. To validate our theoretical findings, a physical prototype with compact dimensions of 32 mm × 35 mm was designed and fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate that at the center frequency of 107.5 MHz, the circuit achieves an NGD of -2.27 ns with an insertion loss of 19.5 dB. Notably, the circuit maintains a wide flat NGD bandwidth of 151 MHz, exhibiting a group delay fluctuation of merely 4.1% across the band. These results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed circuit for broadband microwave applications.

Optimized Hierarchical Nested Array for Enhanced Uniform Degrees of Freedom in Sparse Array DOA Estimation
Guibao Wang, Keyi Yu, Xianghui Wang and Shuzhen Wang
Sparse arrays have been extensively investigated for their capability to enhance degrees of freedom (DOFs). However, conventional nested array configuration is susceptible to strong mutual coupling (MC), while its achievable uniform DOFs (uDOFs) remains limited. To address these challenges, this paper proposes two optimized hierarchical nested arrays, designated as OHNA-I and OHNA-II. OHNA-I reconstructs the spatial arrangement of subarrays through a hierarchical shifting operation, effectively extending the continuous segment of the difference co-array (DCA). Building on this, OHNA-II further optimizes the subarray geometry via sensor displacement, achieving a better balance between uDOF enhancement and MC suppression, thereby maintaining higher uDOFs while reducing inter-sensor coupling interference. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that, under the same number of physical sensors, the proposed structures - particularly OHNA-II - achieve a greater number of uDOFs than existing classical sparse arrays. Furthermore, in scenarios with strong MC, the proposed structure exhibits superior robustness and lower root mean square error (RMSE) in DOA estimation.

Ac Losses Modeling in ReBCO Superconducting Coils Using the Volume Integral Method
Sara Fawaz and Hocine Menana
This paper presents a fast and efficient modeling approach based on the volume integral method for the characterization of AC losses in high-temperature superconducting coils made of second-generation Rare-earth Barium Copper Oxide (ReBCO) tapes. Three modeling strategies are investigated and compared, considering the detailed multilayer tape configuration, the homogenized tape configuration, and the simplified single-layer superconducting tape representation. These approaches aim to evaluate the impact of geometrical and electromagnetic simplifications on the accuracy of the results while significantly reducing computational time. In particular, the homogenization of the electromagnetic properties of the tape is explored to accelerate simulations without compromising the accuracy of key physical quantities such as AC losses and current density distribution. The modeling results are compared to measurements.

High Gain Circularly Polarized Dual-Band Antenna Array Using Hybrid Couplers
Qurratul Ayn, Yuvaraj Sivasubramanian and Kiran Kumar Gurrala
This work presents a dual-band circularly polarized antenna array in which adjacent elements are excited with quadrature phase progression using a cascaded hybrid-coupler feeding network comprising one rat-race coupler and two branch-line couplers. Double-T monopole elements enable dual-band operation, achieving impedance bandwidths of 300 MHz (2.4-2.7 GHz) and 975 MHz (5.025-6 GHz) with corresponding axial-ratio bandwidths of 110 MHz and 525 MHz. The array provides peak gains of 9.19 dB and 9.49 dB with simulated radiation efficiencies of 90% and 87% in the respective bands. The array yields peak realized gains of 9.19 dBic and 9.49 dBic with simulated total efficiencies of 90% and 87% in the corresponding bands. Unlike sequential rotation or multilayer CP arrays, the proposed single-layer planar hybrid-coupler network ensures frequency-stable dual band circular polarization. An analytical formulation of the array factor and axial ratio sensitivity is provided to clarify the CP synthesis mechanism and its suitability for compact vehicular platforms.

Phase Noise Experimental Characterization of CRLH Distributed Oscillators
Walter Ciccognani, Antonio Serino, Giancarlo Bartolucci, Lucio Scucchia and Stefan Simion
The phase noise levels of the output signals provided by two CRLH (Composite Right-/Left-Handed) distributed oscillator configurations are measured and compared. The first CRLH oscillator configuration provides two output signals, drain-line and gate-line output signals, available at the ends of the drain-line and gate-line that are not used for connecting the oscillator feedback. The second CRLH oscillator configuration is obtained by adding a Wilkinson power combiner to the first configuration that sums the drain-line and gate-line output signals for a single-output signal, a combined output signal. The experimental results show that the best performance in terms of output power and spectral purity can be obtained for the single-output CRLH oscillator.
