Improvement Of Resonant Harmonic Filter Effectiveness In The Presence Of Distribution Voltage Distortion, Herbert L. Ginn
Improvement Of Resonant Harmonic Filter Effectiveness In The Presence Of Distribution Voltage Distortion, Herbert L. Ginn
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Resonant harmonic filters (RHFs), are the most common devices installed in distribution systems for reducing distortion caused by harmonic generating loads. When such filters are applied in systems with a distorted distribution voltage their effectiveness may decline drastically. This dissertation explores the causes of degradation of RHFs effectiveness and suggests methods of their improvement both by optimization algorithms and by modification of the filter structure. An optimization based design method is developed for the conventional RHF. It takes into consideration the interaction of the filter with the distribution system and provides a filter which gives the maximum effectiveness with respect …
Optimal Channel Equalization For Filterbank Transceivers In Presence Of White Noise, Ehab Farouk Badran
Optimal Channel Equalization For Filterbank Transceivers In Presence Of White Noise, Ehab Farouk Badran
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Filterbank transceivers are widely employed in data communication networks to cope with inter-symbol-interference (ISI) through the use of redundancies. This dissertation studies the design of the optimal channel equalizer for both time-invariant and time-varying channels, and wide-sense stationary (WSS) and possible non-stationary white noise processes. Channel equalization is investigated via the filterbank transceivers approach. All perfect reconstruction (PR) or zero-forcing (ZF) receiver filterbanks are parameterized in an affine form, which eliminate completely the ISI. The optimal channel equalizer is designed through minimization of the mean-squared-error (MSE) between the detected signals and the transmitted signals. Our main results show that the …
A Factorization Approach For Solving The Hamilton-Jacobi Equations In Nonlinear Optimal Control, Mohammad Dikko Aliyu
A Factorization Approach For Solving The Hamilton-Jacobi Equations In Nonlinear Optimal Control, Mohammad Dikko Aliyu
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation (HJE) arose early in the last century in the study of the calculus of variation, classical mechanics and Hamiltonian systems. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in HJEs arising in various analysis and synthesis problems in systems theory. The HJE despite providing a necessary and sufficient condition for an optimal control, is very difficult to solve for general nonlinear systems, and therefore its application remained limited to linear systems. Yet, the HJE has been studied extensively in the literature from diverse areas of science and engineering, varying from mathematical physics, to mechanics, control theory, and to …
Memory Optimization Techniques For Embedded Systems, Jinpyo Hong
Memory Optimization Techniques For Embedded Systems, Jinpyo Hong
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Embedded systems have become ubiquitous and as a result optimization of the design and performance of programs that run on these systems have continued to remain as significant challenges to the computer systems research community. This dissertation addresses several key problems in the optimization of programs for embedded systems which include digital signal processors as the core processor. Chapter 2 develops an efficient and effective algorithm to construct a worm partition graph by finding a longest worm at the moment and maintaining the legality of scheduling. Proper assignment of offsets to variables in embedded DSPs plays a key role in …
Three-Dimensional Micromachined On-Chip Inductors For High Frequency Applications, Nimit Chomnawang
Three-Dimensional Micromachined On-Chip Inductors For High Frequency Applications, Nimit Chomnawang
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Demands for wireless communication are ever-escalating for consumer and military communication applications. The requirements of portability, more functionality and lower cost have been driving forces toward smaller, more sophisticated and flexible wireless devices with lower power consumption. To meet these requirements, monolithically integrated passive inductors with high Q-factors and high self-resonant frequencies are desirable. Q-factor and self-resonant frequency of an inductor are significantly degraded at high frequencies due to conductor ohmic loss, magnetically induced eddy current in the conductive substrate, and lower self-resonant frequency from capacitance between conductive substrate and conductors.
In this dissertation, novel three-dimensional arch-like solenoid and dome-shaped …
