In this paper, we develop a variable-frequency pulse width modulation (VFPWM) circuit for input control of 6.78-MHz resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. The zero-voltage switching control relies on the adjustments of both duty cycle and switching frequency for the class-E amplifier used in the WPT as the power transmission unit. High-frequency pulse wave modulation integrated circuits exist, but some have insufficiently high frequency or unfavorable resolution for duty cycle tuning. The novelty of this work is the VFPWM circuit design that we put together. A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) of radio frequency and capacitor-coupled difference amplifiers are used to simultaneously perform the frequency and duty cycle tuning required in resonant WPT applications. Different circuit topologies of VFPWM are compared analytically and numerically. The most favorable circuit topology, enabling independent control of the frequency and duty cycle, is employed in experiments. The experimental results demonstrate the validity of the novel VFPWM, which is capable of operating at 6.78 MHz and has a duty ratio adjustable from 20% to 45% of the range applicable in the resonant WPT applications.

This paper investigates the output regulation problem for switched discrete-time systems with output quantization. We adopt the quantized output in feedback controllers and allow each subsystem to have its own quantization density, so that the communication network can be efficiently utilized. By using the different coordinates transformation, the solvability of the output regulation problem is guaranteed under deigned output feedback controllers with the switching signals satisfying a dwell time constraint. In the simulation, a pulse-width modulation driven boost converter model is employed to validate the result.

This paper discusses an new approach for discrete-time software reliability growth modeling based on an discrete-time infinite server queueing model, which describes a debugging process in a testing phase. Our approach enables us to develop discrete-time software reliability growth models (SRGMs) which could not be developed under conventional discrete-time modeling approaches. This paper also discuss goodness-of-fit comparisons of our discrete-time SRGMs with conventional continuous-time SRGMs in terms of the criterion of the mean squared errors, and show numerical examples for software reliability analysis of our models by using actual data.
