Aiming at the problem that the domestic space-borne data transmitter cannot achieve flexible and variable carrier frequency, a scheme of carrier source with configurable output frequency was proposed. The highly accurate and variable reference frequency and flexible configuration of the phase detection frequency in the phase detector in the phase-locked loop (PLL) were realized to make the output frequency of the carrier source programmable configuration by combining the field programmable gate array(FPGA) and digital-to-analog converter(DAC).The measured results from the carrier source with programmed output frequency were shown that the function for arbitrarily configuring output center frequency points in the X-band frequency range of 8.025~8.4 GHz could be realized, and the phase noise were less than -66 dBc/Hz@100 Hz、-75 dBc/Hz@1 kHz、-80 dBc/Hz@10 kHz、-95 dBc/Hz@100 kHz、-120 dBc/Hz@1 MHz, the spurious suppression was below -74 dBc, the frequency resolution was less than 10 Hz. The related circuit can replace the function of the dedicated direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) chip and can be adapted to the space applications environment.

    In order to conveniently calculate the group delay ripple of the bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter by the S parameters measured by the vector network analyzer, two methods of calculating the group delay ripple of BAW filter in ADS and MATLAB are put forward. In this paper, the calculation and the calculating process of group delay ripple by the MATLAB programming and ADS are introduced, and the two methods are compared. Then, the difference between using “delay (S12)” and “group~~delay” to calculate the group delay ripple in ADS is pointed out. The results show that the calculation in MATLAB is basically consistent with the group delay ripple calculated in ADS using “group~~delay” and both can accurately calculate the group delay ripple of the BAW filter.

    The 43°Y-cut lithium niobate single crystal piezoelectric thin film was prepared by ion implantation transferring method, and the solid-state acoustic reflective thin film bulk acoustic device was prepared with SiO2/Mo as the acoustic reflection structure. The operating frequency of the resonator is at 3 GHz, and the equivalent electromechanical coupling coefficient of LN film is 14.15%. The frequency and temperature characteristic of the resonator is characterized. The results show that although the frequency temperature coefficient of LN single crystal is between (-70~-90)×10-6/℃, the frequency temperature coefficient of the resonator is reduced to -18×10-6/℃ because the acoustic reflection structure contains a SiO2 layer with positive temperature coefficient, which shows that the solid acoustic reflection structure can effectively suppress the temperature drift of LN single crystal thin film and obtain a resonator with low frequency temperature coefficient.

    QCM is a kind of high-sensitivity sensor that can be quantitatively analyzed and characterized by establishing the relationship between QCM parameters changes and the measured viscoelastic films. In this paper, based on the constitutive equation of quartz crystal, the QCM equivalent BVD model of the adsorption of viscoelastic film without considering the capacitance effect under gas-phase conditions is derived. An explicit expression of the QCM equivalent parameters and frequency changes regarding the physical properties of the viscoelastic film is given, revealing the physical phenomena of “extra mass effect” in the gas phase caused by the loss modulus and storage modulus of the viscoelastic film. The BVD model derived in this paper has higher accuracy than that of the EBVD model given by Arnau. The results show that the model can be applied to analyze the characteristics of gas phase viscoelastic films.

As an optimization scheme, the active MOS transistor devices are employed to replace the passive resistors and capacitors in order to reduce the layout area and power consumption, as well as improve the comprehensive performance of VCO. Based on TSMC 65 nm/ 1.8 V CMOS process, a VCO circuit is designed and simulations are performed for performance analysis. By combining theoretical modeling with small signal equivalence circuit, appropriate parameter tuning is realized for the replacement of key passive devices. The simulation results show that the improved VCO has a tuning range from 2.365 GHz to 2.506 GHz and the tuning bandwidth of 141 MHz, phase noise of -127.272 dBc/Hz@1 MHz, and as low as 1.323 mW power consumption at 1.8 V power supply voltage.

The effects of the changes of Ba2+ doping contents on the phase structure, surface morphology and electric properties of Ca1-xBaxCu3Ti4O12 have been investigated by the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and dielectric temperature relationship measurement system and impedance tester. The results show that the second phase CuO is produced in ceramic samples with the increase of Ba2+ doping content, and the Ba2+ doping increases the lattice constant of CaCu3Ti4O12 at the same time. The grain size of Ca1-xBaxCu3Ti4O12 decreases with the increase of the doping amount of Ba2+ and the porosity decreases accordingly. The dielectric loss of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics and the change rate of relative dielectric constant with temperature can be reduced effectively by doping appropriate Ba2+. A certain amount of Ba2+ doping can also increase the grain boundary resistance of CaCu3Ti4O12.

    The numerical simulation and experimental study on the non-destructive and destructive timber beams with piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) sensors are carried out based on the piezoelectric impedance technology, and the damage index, that is the root mean square deviation (RMSD), is used to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between the impedance value of the timber beams as a function of the damage degree and the damage location. The results indicated that the piezoelectric impedance method could efficiently estimate the local damage. The RMSD value increased with the increase of the damage degree when the distance between the PZT transducer and damage location was fixed, while the RMSD decreased with the increase of the distance between the PZT transducer and damage location when the damage degree was fixed. The numerical results are consistent with the existing experimental results. Both of the numerical results and the experimental results indicate that the piezoelectric impedance method can efficiently detect the local damage of the timber beams, which can provide a reference for engineering practice.

    In single-axis rotation inertial navigation system (SRINS), the z-axis gyro drift (εz) dramatically limits its navigation precision because it cannot be modulated by rotation. In addition, in the process of alignment, in order to alleviate the contradiction between the alignment accuracy and the alignment time, and guarantee the alignment accuracy to the greatest extent and identify the z-axis gyro drift within a limited alignment time, a fast alignment method based on the time forward and reverse algorithm in stationary base is proposed, which can identify the parameters by using the least square method by adding the azimuth angle into the measurement in this study. This algorithm can not only reduce the alignment time, but also quickly estimate the z-axis gyro drift and improve the navigation accuracy. The experiment on a SRINS with FOGs is carried out. The results show that after the error compensation, the positioning accuracy of the SRINS is improved by about 24% and the positioning error is less than 2 n mile/12 h.

    An improved Maxwell-slip model with adaptive control is proposed to reduce the hysteresis nonlinearity of the piezoelectric ceramic actuator, so that it has good hysteresis compensation in a wide frequency band. In classic Maxwell-slip model, the relationship between output force and input displacement will exhibit hysteresis, appearing as a parallelogram, which is close to the hysteresis characteristics of piezoelectric actuators. Since the maximum friction force of each unit slider is proportional to the spring elastic coefficient, if the spring coefficient is a fixed value, then the maximum friction force of each unit is constant in the system real-time control, the output value can be updated by using the adaptive control algorithm, and the input voltage of the piezoelectric actuator can be compensated. To validate the proposed model, a piezoelectric experimental platform was built, and the hysteresis model was used for hysteresis compensation control. The experimental results show that, for the adaptive control of Maxwell-slip model, the root mean square error and mean absolute deviation error in the 0.1~20 Hz wide frequency band are reduced. The displacement error is 0.037 5 μm without control at 0.1 Hz, and the adaptive control method can reduce the positioning error of the piezoelectric micro-positioning platform within 0.012 4 μm. Compared with the classic methods, the proposed adaptive control has the advantages of precision positioning in wide frequency band.

    A novel nonlinear robust controller is proposed in view of uncertain nonlinear factors that commonly exist in achieving the micro/nano motion of piezoelectric ceramics. The controller can achieve robustness by controlling non-singular terminal sliding mode, and achieve real-time compensation and model-free control of unknown terms by delay estimation technology, which is beneficial to achieving the estimation of the full status by robust exact differentiator in engineering applications. The closed-loop stability of the system is proved by Lyapunov criterion. The results of the semi-physical simulation experiment show that the proposed controller can control piezoelectric ceramics to achieve sub-micron precision motion control.

    It is difficult to obtain the navigation information in the case of GNSS rejection, while the methods based on infrared, ultrasonic, radio, Wi-Fi, ultra-wide-band need the assist of electronic label, and the traditional dead reckoning algorithm is to draw the trajectory of a pedestrian on the condition of walking forward. It may be opposite or perpendicular to the actual trajectory if the pedestrian takes backward and lateral walking. To solve the above-mentioned problems, the inertial measurement unit embedded in mobile terminal is used to realize the short-time multi-mode pedestrian tracking based on multi-sensor without relying on any electronic label. The results of repeated tests show that the detected accuracy of walking mode is higher than or equal to 92%. Taking the actual garage scene as the experimental background, this method can obtain autonomous path tracking in full walking mode, and the path tracking error is less than 3 m.

    The piezoelectric actuators have the characteristics of nanometer/micrometer positioning and are widely used in precision control motion platforms. Therefore, the requirements for the speed and accuracy of piezoelectric actuators are becoming higher and higher. According to the driving principle of stepping piezoelectric motor and the dynamic model of quadruped piezoelectric actuator, a driving power supply for the quadruped piezoelectric actuator with new stacked structure is designed in this paper. The power supply is linear with a high voltage of ±250 V and a high frequency of 1.5 kHz. Two strategies of hardware impedance compensation and signal switching are adopted to further eliminate the influence of capacitive load on signal bandwidth, so that the quadruped piezoelectric actuator can output at high precision and constant speed.

A special probe card is developed to complete the test of the packaged wafer on-line. The test results show that the test results of the probe card are in good agreement with that of the wafer assembled into the actual circuit, which solves the test problem of WLP packaged SAW filter.
