This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) non- stationary fixed-to-fixed indoor channel simulator model for human activity recognition. The channel model enables the formulation of temporal variations of the received signal caused by a moving human. The moving human is modelled by …
Adaptive control of uncertain nonlinear systems with quantized input signal
2018
Abstract This paper proposes new adaptive controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems in the presence of input quantization. The control signal is quantized by a class of sector-bounded quantizers including the uniform quantizer, the logarithmic quantizer and the hysteresis quantizer. To clearly illustrate our approaches, we will start with a class of single-loop nonlinear systems and then extend the results to multi-loop interconnected nonlinear systems. By using backstepping technique, a new adaptive control algorithm is developed by constructing a new compensation method for the effects of the input quantization. A hyperbolic tangent function is introduced in the controller with a new tr…
Decentralized Adaptive Control for Interconnected Nonlinear Systems with Input Quantization
2017
Abstract In this paper, a decentralized adaptive control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear interconnected systems with input quantization. A hysteresis uniform quantization is introduced to reduce chattering. In the control design, a smooth function is introduced with backstepping technique to compensate for the effects of interactions. It is shown that the proposed decentralized adaptive controllers can ensure global boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop interconnected systems and the tracking errors of subsystem converge to a residual, which can be adjusted by choosing suitable design parameters. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the propos…
Adaptive Backstepping Control of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems With Quantized States
2019
This paper investigates the stabilization problem for uncertain nonlinear systems with quantized states. All states in the system are quantized by a static bounded quantizer, including uniform quantizer, hysteresis-uniform quantizer, and logarithmic-uniform quantizer as examples. An adaptive backstepping-based control algorithm, which can handle discontinuity, resulted from the state quantization and a new approach to stability analysis are developed by constructing a new compensation scheme for the effects of the state quantization. Besides showing the global ultimate boundedness of the system, the stabilization error performance is also established and can be improved by appropriately adj…
Adaptive Control of Quantized Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
2017
Abstract This paper proposes a new adaptive controller for uncertain nonlinear systems in presence of quantized input signal and unknown external disturbance. A hysteresis quantizer is incorporated to reduce chattering phenomenon. By proposing a new transformation of the final control signal, using the sector-bound property of the quantizer and introducing a hyperbolic tangent function, the effects from input quantization and external disturbance are effectively compensated and the Lipschitz condition required for the nonlinear functions in the systems is removed. Besides showing global stability, tracking error performance is also established and can be adjusted by tuning certain design pa…
Tutorial on dynamic analysis of the Costas loop
2016
Abstract Costas loop is a classical phase-locked loop (PLL) based circuit for carrier recovery and signal demodulation. The PLL is an automatic control system that adjusts the phase of a local signal to match the phase of the input reference signal. This tutorial is devoted to the dynamic analysis of the Costas loop. In particular the acquisition process is analyzed. Acquisition is most conveniently described by a number of frequency and time parameters such as lock-in range, lock-in time, pull-in range, pull-in time, and hold-in range. While for the classical PLL equations all these parameters have been derived (many of them are approximations, some even crude approximations), this has not…
Autonomous Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method based on Envelope Spectrum
2017
Abstract Rolling element bearings are one of the fundamental components of a machine, and their failure is the most frequent cause of machine breakdown. Monitoring the bearing condition is vital to preventing unexpected shutdowns and improving their maintenance planning. Specifically, the bearing vibration can be measured and analyzed to diagnose bearing faults. Accurate fault diagnosis can be achieved by analyzing the envelope spectrum of a narrowband filtered vibration signal. The optimal narrow-band is centered at the resonance frequency of the bearing. However, how to determine the optimal narrow-band is a challenge. Several methods aim to identify the optimal narrow-band, but they are …
Cross-Layer MAC Protocol for Unbiased Average Consensus Under Random Interference
2019
Wireless Sensor Networks have been revealed as a powerful technology to solve many different problems through sensor nodes cooperation. One important cooperative process is the so-called average gossip algorithm, which constitutes a building block to perform many inference tasks in an efficient and distributed manner. From the theoretical designs proposed in most previous work, this algorithm requires instantaneous symmetric links in order to reach average consensus. However, in a realistic scenario wireless communications are subject to interferences and other environmental factors, which results in random instantaneous topologies that are, in general, asymmetric. Consequently, the estimat…
Cross-correlation of whitened vibration signals for low-speed bearing diagnostics
2019
Abstract Rolling-element bearings are crucial components in all rotating machinery, and their failure will initially degrade the machine performance, and later cause complete shutdown. The period between an initial crack and complete failure is short due to crack propagation. Therefore, early fault detection is important to avoid unexpected machine shutdown and to aid in maintenance scheduling. Bearing condition monitoring has been applied for several decades to detect incipient faults at an early stage. However, low-speed conditions pose a challenge for bearing fault diagnosis due to low fault impact energy. To reliably detect bearing faults at an early stage, a new method termed Whitened …
A non-stationary relay-based 3D MIMO channel model with time-variant path gains for human activity recognition in indoor environments
2021
AbstractExtensive research showed that the physiological response of human tissue to exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields is the induction of an electric current in the body segments. As a result, each segment of the human body behaves as a relay, which retransmits the radio-frequency (RF) signal. To investigate the impact of this phenomenon on the Doppler characteristics of the received RF signal, we introduce a new three-dimensional (3D) non-stationary channel model to describe the propagation phenomenon taking place in an indoor environment. Here, the indoor space is equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. A single person is moving in the indoor space an…
