Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) concept is to provide generic building blocks for power conversion, regulation and distribution with control intelligence and autonomy. A comprehensive modeling and analysis of a PEBB ...

In a packet radio network, multiple terminals broadcast information over a shared communications medium. Messages are transmitted from a source terminal to a destination terminal over multiple relays or hops. The ...

The performance of a mobile satellite communications link can be determined by the propagation path between a satellite and mobile users. Some of the most important factors are multipath propagation and vegetative shadowing. ...

The phenomenon of dopant diffusion as a viable means of coupler fabrication is investigated. It is well known that the diffusion of dopants can improve the uniformity of multimode star couplers manufactured by the fused ...

This work presents the modeling and analysis of EMI and thermal performance for switch power supply by using the CAD tools. The methodology and design guidelines are developed. By using a boost PFC circuit as an example, ...

Indoor wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in work environments. The need to quickly and efficiently provide in-building and microcellular coverage without sacrificing quality is critical ...

A Radial Basis Function Approach to a Color Image Classification Problem in a Real Time Industrial Application Ferat Sahin (ABSTRACT) In this thesis, we introduce a radial basis function network approach to solve a color ...

Adaptive Control Using IIR Lattice Filters <p> Stephen Hevey <p> This work is a study of a hybrid adaptive controller that blends fixed feedback control and adaptive feedback control techniques. This type of adaptive ...

Abstract A digital controller was designed for a semiactive primary suspension for a class 8 highway truck. The controller used a skyhook policy (where the semiactive damper simulates a damper between the sprung mass and ...

Optical fiber sensor multiplexing reduces cost per sensor by designing a system that minimizes the expensive system components (sources, spectrometers, etc.) needed for a set number of sensors. The market for multiplexed ...
