Stability without eigenspaces in the geometric approach: The regulator problem

The regulator problem with the plant stability condition is investigated by using new tools of the geometric approach, i.e., self-bounded controlled and self-hidden conditioned invariants, recently introduced by the authors. In this framework, a constructive procedure which solves the problem without eigenspaces is obtained. This procedure also includes a set of necessary and sufficient conditions which, compared with those previously known in the literature, are significantly simpler in their statement and more easily mechanized.This research was supported by the Italian Ministry of Education. This paper is an extended version of a communication presented at the 8th International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, Phoenix, Arizona, 1987.

A novel white noise generator as the tracking generator for filter measurements

A novel and low-cost white noise generator using an ordinary Zener diode as the source of noise is presented. The Zener diode is driven by a stable dc current source such that the noise signal power generated by the Zener diode increases with increasing frequency under right dc current biasing. A 6-stage MMIC amplifier block was designed to increase the noise power further. Since the gain-frequency response of the amplifier block has a negative slope as the frequency increases, the positive slope of the noise power produced by the Zener diode is balanced with the negative slope of the amplifier gain. The resulting amplified noise signal appears to have almost constant power at the output of the amplifier. As a result, the designed noise generator exhibits white noise characteristics, and is used as a tracking generator to measure insertion loss of a RF/microwave filter.     

Analysis of surface degradation of epoxy nanocomposite due to tracking under AC and DC voltages

The tracking phenomenon, a carbonaceous process, in epoxy nanocomposite material has been studied under the AC and DC voltage in the present work. It was observed that the tracking is more severe under the DC voltages, especially under positive DC voltage when compared to negative DC voltage. The leakage current during the tracking studies was measured and moving average technique was used to characterize the trend of current flow. It was noticed that an increase in nanoclay content to epoxy resin shows a reduction in magnitude of leakage current flow during tracking test. It was also observed that the magnitude of leakage current is more under negative DC voltage compared with positive DC/AC voltage. The magnitude of leakage current and the tracking time shows inverse relationship as evident from the present study. A drastic reduction in contact angle was observed for the specimens subjected to tracking test. It was confirmed that surface discharges also cause permanent damage to the insulating material. The WAXD studies indicated that up to 5 wt% of nanoclay in epoxy resin resulted in exfoliated structure. The TEM studies were carried out on the nanocomposite structures. The TG-DTA results showed that a maximum degradation of epoxy resin occurs at around 300 °C. From the EPR study it is realized that, in the tracking formed zone the spin concentration is more in epoxy nanocomposites indicating that tracking as a damage generating process.     

一种改进的长时间压缩感知跟踪算法

压缩感知跟踪(CT)算法具有简单、高效、实时的优点,但是却存在着跟踪窗口尺寸不能自适应变化,无法有效处理遮挡以及跟踪失败后的目标再发现等问题.为了解决上述问题,提出了一种改进的长时间压缩感知跟踪算法.所提出的算法采用多尺度的目标外观再匹配方法,使得跟踪窗口大小能够适应目标尺寸变化.此外,通过分析滑动窗口内跟踪窗口图像的整体特征变化来判定目标是否发生遮挡.为了解决跟踪器漂移问题,采用Haar特征在线生成检测器,实现目标的再发现.实验结果表明提出的算法相比原CT算法具有更好的鲁棒性和准确性.     

Frequency and Offset Online Estimation of Sinusoidal Signals Based on High-Order Nonlinear Continuous Differentiator

Real-time parameter identification of si-nusoidal signals is an essential research topic due to its broad utilization in both theoretical studies and engineer-ing practice. A tracking differentiator based online estima-tion framework has been proposed to simultaneously iden-tify frequencies and offset of given multi-sinusoidal signal. Tracking differentiator is exploited in presented framework to track the time derivatives of measurements which are then utilized to estimate the frequencies and offset. We introduce a tracking differentiator called high-order non-linear continuous differentiator into the framework, giving birth to a new estimation algorithm. Comparative exper-iments on both single and two sinusoidal signal are sim-ulated, indicating the superiority of proposed method on both convergent speed and estimation accuracy.

Tracking in multistatic passive radar systems using DAB/DVB-T illumination

A multistatic passive radar system exploits illuminators of opportunity like radio or television transmitters for target surveillance. In this paper we analyze the use of the illumination of television or radio stations broadcasting digital signals (DAB/DVB-T) from a target tracking view point. An important characteristic of this type of illuminators is the joint operation of several illuminators in a single frequency network (SFN). As a consequence it is a priori unknown which measurement belongs to which illuminator. This property expands the typical association task of associating measurements with targets by the task of associating measurements with illuminators. In this paper we present a comprehensive concept for target tracking in DAB/DVB-T networks accounting for the characteristics of this signal. The derived algorithms will be tested with respect to numerical simulations including a sensitivity study for parameter mismatch between simulations and tracking model.     

非线性速度估计器在光电跟踪系统中的应用

高质量的速度反馈信息对光电跟踪系统的跟踪精度有着非常重要的影响。由于受传感器物理限制以及从价格上考虑,通常采用光学编码器并同时为系统提供位置信息和速度信息,因此如何从光学编码器的位置信息中获取高质量的速度信息就显得尤为关键。首先从传统的编码器位置信号差分求速出发,介绍了非线性跟踪-微分器的原理,在此基础上提出了一种非线性速度估计器,同时讨论了如何选择该控制器的设计参数。基于某光电跟踪系统伺服控制结构,并采用抗积分饱和PI控制器作为三环回路控制器,分别对采用非线性速度估计器和向后差分方法的伺服系统进行仿真分析,并进一步在实验平台上进行实验。仿真和实验验证,采用非线性速度估计器的系统比采用向后差分的系统,在稳态性能和跟踪精度上都有明显的提高。
