This paper applies modified feedback technology to carry out the exact steady-state and fast transient in a high-performance alternating current (AC) power supply. The presented scheme displays the virtues of a finite-time convergence control (FTCC) and a discrete grey prediction model (DGPM). The FTCC, derived from a terminal sliding-mode (TSM) design principle, can produce the finite system-state convergence time and evade the singularity. It is noteworthy that the chattering/steady-state error around the FTCC may occur because of the overestimated or underestimated uncertainty bound. The DGPM with the bound estimate ability is integrated into the FTCC to cope with internal parameter variations and external load disturbances. The less chattering and steady-state error can be obtained, providing more robust performance in the AC power supply. The combination of the FTCC and the DGPM extends the standard TSM design for the purpose of faster singularity-free convergence, as well as introducing the grey modeling method in the case of a more exact uncertainty estimate. The modified control technology has a high-precision tracking performance and a fast convergent speed. Simulated and experimental results point out that the modified control technology can effectuate low total harmonic distortion (THD) and fast dynamic response in the presence of rectifier loads and abrupt step load changes.

Currently, positioning, navigation, and timing information is becoming more and more vital for both civil and military applications. Integration of the global navigation satellite system and /inertial navigation system is the most popular solution for various carriers or vehicle positioning. As is well-known, the global navigation satellite system positioning accuracy will degrade in signal challenging environments. Under this condition, the integration system will fade to a standalone inertial navigation system outputting navigation solutions. However, without outer aiding, positioning errors of the inertial navigation system diverge quickly due to the noise contained in the raw data of the inertial measurement unit. In particular, the micromechanics system inertial measurement unit experiences more complex errors due to the manufacturing technology. To improve the navigation accuracy of inertial navigation systems, one effective approach is to model the raw signal noise and suppress it. Commonly, an inertial measurement unit is composed of three gyroscopes and three accelerometers, among them, the gyroscopes play an important role in the accuracy of the inertial navigation system’s navigation solutions. Motivated by this problem, in this paper, an advanced deep recurrent neural network was employed and evaluated in noise modeling of a micromechanics system gyroscope. Specifically, a deep long short term memory recurrent neural network and a deep gated recurrent unit–recurrent neural network were combined together to construct a two-layer recurrent neural network for noise modeling. In this method, the gyroscope data were treated as a time series, and a real dataset from a micromechanics system inertial measurement unit was employed in the experiments. The results showed that, compared to the two-layer long short term memory, the three-axis attitude errors of the mixed long short term memory–gated recurrent unit decreased by 7.8%, 20.0%, and 5.1%. When compared with the two-layer gated recurrent unit, the proposed method showed 15.9%, 14.3%, and 10.5% improvement. These results supported a positive conclusion on the performance of designed method, specifically, the mixed deep recurrent neural networks outperformed than the two-layer gated recurrent unit and the two-layer long short term memory recurrent neural networks.

This paper considers the fuzzy control design of maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and maximum torque per voltage (MTPV) for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) control system that is capable of reducing computation burden, improving torque output, and widening the speed range. In the entire motor speed range, three control methods, i.e., the MTPA, flux weakening, and MTPV methods may be applied depending on current and voltage statuses. The simulation using MATLAB/Simulink is first conducted and then in order to speed up the development, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) is adopted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy MTPA and MTPV control for the IPMSM system.

Digital speckle correlation method is widely used in the areas of three-dimensional deformation and morphology measurement. It has the advantages of non-contact, high precision, and strong stability. However, it is very complex to be carried out with low speed software implementation. Here, an improved full pixel search algorithm based on the normalized cross correlation (NCC) method considering hardware implementation is proposed. According to the field programmable gate array (FPGA) simulation results, the speed of hardware design proposed in this paper is 2000 faster than that of software in single point matching, and 600 times faster than software in multi-point matching. The speed of the presented algorithm shows an increasing trend with the increase of the template size when performing multipoint matching. Full article

In this study, the proposed bandpass filter (BPF) connects an interdigital and a spiral capacitor in series between the two symmetrical halves of a circular intertwined spiral inductor. For the mass production of devices and to achieve a higher accuracy and a better performance compared with other passive technologies, we used integrated passive device (IPD) technology. IPD has been widely used to realize compact BPFs and achieve the abovementioned. The center frequency of the proposed BPF is 1.96 GHz, and the return loss, insertion loss and transmission zero are 26.77 dB, 0.27 dB and 38.12 dB, respectively. The overall dimensions of BPFs manufactured using IPD technology are 984 × 800 μ m 2 , which is advantageous for miniaturization and integration. Full article
