This paper introduces a decentralized shape and vibration controller for structures with large and potentially unknown system order, model-parameter uncertainty, and unknown disturbances. Controller implementation utilizes distributed, colocated, and independent actuator–sensor pairs. Controller design requires knowledge of the relative degrees of the actuator and sensor dynamics and upper bounds on the diagonal elements of system's high-frequency gain matrix. Closed-loop performance is determined by a parameter gain, which can be viewed as the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter. For sufficiently large parameter gain, the closed-loop performance is arbitrarily small. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the decentralized controller, and we present experimental results for a setup consisting of a cantilever beam with piezoelectric actuators and strain-gauge sensors.

In this paper, we design a high-order switched capacitor filter for rapid change parameter converter. This design uses a structure which consists of three biquads filter sub-units. The design is a 6th-order SC elliptic low-pass filter, and the sample frequency is 250 kHz. By the MATLAB Simulink simulation, the system can meet the design requirements in the time domain. In this paper, the 6th-order switched capacitor elliptic low-pass filter was implemented under 0.5 um CMOS process and simulated in Cadence. The final simulation results show that the pass-band cutoff frequency is 10 kHz, and the maximum pass-band ripple is about 0.106 dB. The stop-band cutoff frequency is 20 kHz, and the minimum stop-band attenuation is 74.78 dB.

<p>Stator flux estimation using voltage model is basically the integration of the induced stator back electromotive force (emf) signal. In practical implementation the pure integration is replaced by a low pass filter to avoid the DC drift and saturation problems at the integrator output because of the initial condition error and the inevitable DC components in the back emf signal. However, the low pass filter introduces errors in the estimated stator flux which are significant at frequencies near or lower than the cutoff frequency. Also the DC components in the back emf signal are amplified at the low pass filter output by a factor equals to . Therefore, different integration algorithms have been proposed to improve the stator flux estimation at steady state and transient conditions. In this paper a new algorithm for stator flux estimation is proposed for direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drives. The proposed algorithm is composed of a second order high pass filter and an integrator which can effectively eliminates the effect of the error initial condition and the DC components. The amplitude and phase errors compensation algorithm is selected such that the steady state frequency response amplitude and phase angle are equivalent to that of the pure integrator and the multiplication and division by stator frequency are avoided. Also the cutoff frequency selection is improved; even small value can filter out the DC components in the back emf signal. The simulation results show the improved performance of the induction motor direct torque control drive with the proposed stator flux estimation algorithm. The simulation results are verified by the experimental results.</p>

This paper presents a fully integrated Gm–C low pass filter (LPF) based on a current steering Gm reduction-tuning technique, specifically designed to operate as the output stage of a SoC lock-in amplifier. To validate this proposal, a first-order and a second-order single-ended topology were integrated into a 1.8 V to 0.18 µm CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) process, showing experimentally a tuneable cutoff frequency that spanned five orders of magnitude, from tens of mHz to kHz, with a constant current consumption (below 3 µA/pole), compact size (<0.0140 mm2/pole), and a dynamic range better than 70 dB. Compared to state-of-the-art solutions, the proposed approach exhibited very competitive performances while simultaneously fully satisfying the demanding requirements of on-chip portable measurement systems in terms of highly efficient area and power. This is of special relevance, taking into account the current trend towards multichannel instruments to process sensor arrays, as the total area and power consumption will be proportional to the number of channels.

Combining with the error model of strapdown airborne scalar gravimetry, the paper analyses the natural motions of the aircraft, and then discusses how those natural motions of the aircraft influence the airborne scalar gravimetry. The spectra characteristic of measurement errors of the strapdown airborne scalar gravimetry can be obtained, and its relation with natural motions of the aircraft is demonstrated. As a result, we can determine the cutoff frequency of low-pass filter through the characteristic of the natural motions of the aircraft, the cutoff frequency is very important for acceleration extraction from the strapdown airborne scalar gravimeter.

In this work, a novel design of a Microstrip Low-pass filter based on metamaterial square split ring resonators (SRRs) is proposed. The SRRs has been added to obtain a reduced size and high performances. The filter is designed on an FR-4 substrate having a thickness of 1.6mm, a dielectric constant of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.025. The proposed low-pass filter is characterized by a cutoff frequency of 2.4 GHz and an attenuation level below than -20dB in the stopband. The LPF is designed, simulated and optimized by using two electromagnetic solvers CST microwave studio and ADS. The computed results obtained by both solvers are in good agreement. The total surface area of the proposed circuit is 18x18mm2 excluding the feed line, its size is miniaturized by 40% compared to the conventional filter. The experimental results illustrate that the filter achieves very good electrical performances in the passband with a low insertion loss of 0.2 dB. Moreover, a suppression level can reach more than 35 dB in the rejected band.
