This paper presents a comparison of the image rejection between Gilbert mixer and the passive mixer. A simple model for mixers is set up, and the image rejection performance of passive and Gilbert mixer is analyzed based on it. Simulations and calculations were done to compare the image rejection of the two mixers. The results show that the Gilbert mixer, comparing with the passive one, shows a st

Popular Abstract in Swedish När en konsument går längs en gång i en butik kan han eller hon enkelt ta ett mjölkpaket utan att tänka på allt som behövts göras för att det ska kunna hamna på hyllan. Många chefer och ingenjörer lägger ner oerhört mycket energi för att detta ska vara möjligt. För varje paket mjölk omfattar kedjan av olika aktiviteter processande, förpackning, transport och lagring, frIn the supply chain interactions with product and packaging systems, actors place various needs on packaging. Satisfying these needs eventually increases the supply chain efficiency and effectiveness. The aim of the research presented is to contribute to the packaging logistics body of knowledge on reducing the gap between the supply chain needs and satisfying them, through packaging design and de

Human-induced climate change presents grave challenges to society. We have to find ways both to mitigate the changes and adapt to them. However, this is not all, for politics climate change represents a problem with large scientific uncertainties. This is evident in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports. In this study, scientific uncertainty is discussed and syste

The optimum-seeking (in the sense of maximisation of torque) field weakening control scheme proposed by Kim and Sul (see IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol. 44, no.4, p.512-18, 1997) is developed further. The performance under imperfect field orientation conditions is investigated, and it is shown that an overestimated-rather than an under-estimated-model leakage inductance should be used. A slightly

What happens when global market-oriented models for auditing and quality assessment are taken up by local parishes? The paper is based on case studies where a number of parishes and auditing models provide the object of study. Parishes are to some extent restrictive about embracing new ideas on auditing and quality control. With assistance from neo-institutional theory it can be shown that the co

The dual control problem for time-varying or non-linear systems is inherently analytically and computationally untractable due to the demand of alternating minimizations and mean value computations. Hence, it has to be approached using approximations leading to suboptimal dual control. The core of the successful approximative controller is its ability to be able to consider future changes in the d

Since 1970s the development and introduction of heat pumps have been supported as a strategy to improve energy efficiency in Sweden and Switzerland. Several policy instruments have been applied, such as R&D, subsidies/electricity price incentives, labelling and quality test centres. The justification of introducing heat pumps as an energy-efficient end use technology was, in general, to decrea

The aim of this report is to give an overview on previous research on HMI, relevant for the concept of “Safe Speed and Safe Distance”. The review of the literature shows that providing the driver with relevant, timely information is of paramount importance. The ideal HMI system gives the driver concise but comprehensive timely information allowing him/her sufficient time for reading and understan
