This paper described the design and performance evaluation of fiber optic gyro using digital closed-loop processing. For the feedback to null the gyro input rate, digital serrodyne modulation was employed, and for scale factor stabilization, the control circuits of modulation amplitude and optical power are implemented. Performance tests show that prototype fiber optic gyro has bias stability of 0.34 deg/hr, scale factor non-lineality of about 100ppm, and maximum measurement range of ${\pm}500$ deg/sec.

The magnetic levitation system is utilized in the magnetic bearing of high-speed rotor because of little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. The magnetic levitation system need the feedback controller for the stabilization of system, and gap sensors are generally used to measure the gap. The use of gap sensors brings out the increase of the number of troublesome, and the decrease of the control performance because of the dislocation between the measurement point and the control point. This paper presents the design of the gap estimation circuit for the sensorless method proposed by authors in the magnetic levitation system. We made the gap estimation circuit which was composed of both the superposition circuit and the measuring circuit. And we investigated the validity of the usefulness of the proposed sensorless method in the magnetic levitation system through results of actual experiment.

The initial thermal analysis needs to be fast and efficient to reduce the feedback time for the optimal electronic equipment designing. In this study, a thermal model is developed by using power consumption measurement values of each functional breadboard, that is, semi-empirical power dissipation method. In modeling heat dissipated EEE parts, power dissipation is imposed evenly on the EEE part footprint area which is projected to the printed circuit board, and is called surface heat model. The application of these methods is performed in the development of a command and telemetry unit (CTU) for a geostationary satellite. Finally, the thermal cycling test is performed to verify the applied thermal analysis methods.

We propose a train position estimation method for automatic train control system. The accurate train position should be continuously feedback to control system for safe and efficient operation of trains in railway. In this paper, we propose the sensor fusion method integrating the tachometer, the transponder, and the doppler sensor for estimation of train position. The external sensors(transponder, doppler sensor) are used to compensate for the error of internal sensor(tachometer). The Kalman filter is also applied to reduce the measurement error of the sensors. Simulation results are then presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

A systematic approach for the design of two-stage class AB CMOS unity-gain buffers is proposed. It is based on the inclusion of a class AB operation to class A Miller amplifier topologies in unity-gain negative feedback by a simple technique that does not modify quiescent currents, supply requirements, noise performance, or static power. Three design examples are fabricated in a 0.5 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Measurement results show slew rate improvement factors of approximately 100 for the class AB buffers versus their class A counterparts for the same quiescent power consumption (< 200 ${\mu}W$).

This paper introduces and develops an efficient method for measuring power factor (PF) and its nature under nonlinear load current situations. The method is based on generating a pulse width modulated signal whose width correlates to the value of PF. This signal can then be employed as a feedback signal for controlling PF related power quantities in a system. This method has the advantages of its simple implementation, less computational complexity, and its allowable error of less than 4[%], which is justified by the computer simulation results.

Solar array simulator (SAS) is a special DC power supply that regulates the output voltage or current to emulate characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Especially, the control of SAS is a challenging task due to the nonlinearity in the output curve, which is dependent on irradiance as well as temperature and is determined by panel materials. Conventionally, both current-mode control and voltage-mode control should be alternated by partitioning the operating curve into multiple sections, which is not only for the measurement noise problem with the feedback sensing but also for the control stability issue near the maximum power point. However, the occurrence of transition among different controllers may deteriorate the overall performance. To eliminate the mode transitions, a novel single controller scheme has been introduced in this paper, where the reference operating projection technique enables simple, smooth and numerically stable control. Theoretical consideration on the loop stability issue is discussed and the performance is verified experimentally for the emulation of a PV panel data in view of stability and response speed.

In this paper, we propose a position-speed control of servo system with a state estimator. And also we utilized two mass modelling in order to deals with real system accurately. The overall control system consists of two parts: the position-speed controller and state estimator. The Kalman filter applied as state - feedback controller is an optimal state estimator applied to a dynamic system that involves random perturbations and gives a linear,unbiased and minimun error variance recursive algorithm to estimate the unknown state optimally. Therefore we consider the error problem about the servo system modelling, the measurement noise at low-speed ranges a stochastic system, and implement a optimal state observer. Performance of the proposed state estimator are demonstrated by computer simulations.

This paper presents an adaptive approach to control the amount of slip of the torque converter bypass clutch using its estimated friction coefficient. The proposed approach can be readily implemented using the inexpensive speed sensors currently installed in an automobile. A measurement feedback control law to drive the slip error to zero together with an adaptation law to identify the unknown friction coefficient is developed using the Lyapunov control design method. The robustness of the control and adaptation laws to parametric and/or torque uncertainties as well as the convergence of the friction coefficient are investigated. Simulation results verify the viability of the proposed control algorithm in real-world vehicle control applications.

For ANC systems applied to aircrafts or passenger ships, engines from which reference signals are usually measured are located so far from seats where main part of controllers are placed. It can make feedforward ANC scheme difficult to implement or very costly. Feedback ANC algorithms which do not require reference signals and use error signals alone to update the filter, are usually sensitive to measurement noise ' and impulse noise. In this paper, reference signal needed for the feedforward control is not measured directly but generated with the estimated frequencies. Cascade adaptive notch filter (ANF), which has the low computational burden, is used to implement ANC system in real time. Several ANFs of order 2 are connected in series to estimate multiple sinusoids. Computer simulations and experiments in the laboratory for verifying efficacy of the proposed algorithm are carried out.
