An interval observer for uncertain continuous‐time linear systems

To design robust interval observers for uncertain continuous‐time linear systems, a new set‐integration approach is proposed to compute trajectory tubes for the estimation error. Because this approach, the order‐preserving condition on the dynamics of the estimation error is no longer required. Therefore, synthesis methods can be used to compute observer gains that reduce the impact of the system uncertainties on the accuracy of the estimated state enclosures. The performance of the proposed approach is showcased through illustrative numerical examples.

WIRELESS BODY-AREA NETWORKS

The last decade has witnessed the convergence of three giant worlds:electronics,computer science and telecommunications.The next decade should follow this convergence in most of our activities with the generalization of sensor networks.In particular with the progress in medicine,people live longer and the aging of population will push the development of wireless person-     

Matched Filter Based Spectrum Sensing When Primary User Has Multiple Power Levels

In this paper,we investigate the matched filter based spectrum sensing in a more reasonable cognitive radio(CR) scenario when the primary user(PU) has more than one transmit power levels,as regulated in most standards,i.e.,IEEE 802.11 Series,GSM,LTE,LTE-A,etc.This new multiple primary transmit power(MPTP) scenario is specialized by two different targets:detecting the presence of PU and identifying the power level.Compared to the traditional binary sensing where only the presence of PU is checked,SU may attain more information about the primary network(making CR more "intelligent") and design the subsequent optimization strategy.The key technology is the multiple hypothesis testing as opposed to the traditional binary hypothesis testing.We discuss two situations under whether the channel phase is known or not,and we derive the closed form solutions for decision regions and several performance metrics,from which some interesting phenomenons are observed and the related discussions are presented.Numerical examples are provided to corroborate the proposed studies.     

Investigation of load transfer mechanisms in granular platforms reinforced by geosynthetics above cavities

Geosynthetic-reinforced soils constitute an interesting solution for bridging cavities. Many methods have been developed to analyze the stability of soil-geosynthetic-cavity systems, but none of them is able to take into account all the complexities of these mechanisms. Many researchers have assumed mechanisms developed in the reinforced granular platform when cavities appear, such as load transfer and expansion of materials. However, they are not fully understood because many factors can influence the design, such as the cavity opening processes, the type, and the density of the soil.In this study, a new laboratory apparatus is developed to simulate two different cavity opening procedures (trapdoor and progressive opening) for different geometric configurations. A series of tests is conducted for three granular soils with two different geosynthetic sheets. By measuring the shape of the surface soil settlement and the geosynthetic deflection, the expansion coefficient is calculated. A novel tactile pressure sensor is used to observe the load transfer during the cavity opening. The experimental data are analyzed and the influence of the experimental conditions (geometric and soil properties and the opening procedure) are also discussed. Correspondingly, elicited findings can be used to propose recommendations to improve the existing design methods.     

Design of 25 Gbit/s half-rate CDR with 1:2 demultiplexer for 100 GbE optical interconnects

A 25 Gbit/s clock and data recovery(CDR) circuit with 1:2 demultiplexer for 100 Gbit/s Ethernet(100 Gb E) optical interconnects has been designed and fabricated in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacture Company(TSMC) 65 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) technology. A novel quadrature voltage-controlled-oscillator(QVCO) structure adopts two pairs of transconductance cell and inverters to acquire rail-to-rail output swing. A half-rate bang-bang phase detector adopts four flip-flops array to sample the 25 Gbit/s input data and align the data phase, so the 25 Gbit/s data are retimed and demultiplexed into two paths 12.5 Gbit/s output data. Experimental results show that the recovered clock exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 7.39 ps and the recovered data presents a peak-to-peak jitter of 7.56 ps, in response to 312-1 pseudorandom bit sequence(PRBS) input. For 1.2 V voltage supply, the CDR circuit consumes 92 m W(excluding output buffers).     

Extracting Low-Frequency Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Ambient Power System Data Using Blind Source Separation

Wide-area techniques provide a powerful tool to extract spatio-temporal patterns from high-dimensional datasets and can be used for event detection and visualization, data fusion, stability assessment, and coherency analysis. In this paper, a novel blind source separation-based approach for extracting low-frequency spatio-temporal patterns from measured ambient power system data is proposed and a spatio-temporal visualization index is also suggested. This methodology combines a nonlinear hierarchical neural network with a Blind Source Separation (BSS) technique. The neural network allows reducing noise and removing the nonlinear relations among data (preserve dynamic features of interest), while the BSS technique permits extracting spatial and temporal patterns. In addition, the proposed approach takes advantage of the latest techniques in nonlinear estimation of non-stationary time series. Finally, application examples of the proposed framework on real test cases recorded from an actual power system by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are presented. The obtained results show that the temporal patterns can be used for extracting and identifying the low-frequency oscillation modes and the spatial patterns can be used for identifying modes with the most contribution in original data. Compared to other BSS approaches, the proposed method has shown to be better for the analysis of real ambient data.
