Neural Network Detection And Identification Of Electronic Devices Based On Their Unintended Emissions, Haixiao Weng, Xiaopeng Dong, Xiao Hu, Daryl G. Beetner, Todd H. Hubing, Donald C. Wunsch Aug 2005

Neural Network Detection And Identification Of Electronic Devices Based On Their Unintended Emissions, Haixiao Weng, Xiaopeng Dong, Xiao Hu, Daryl G. Beetner, Todd H. Hubing, Donald C. Wunsch

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Electromagnetic emissions were measured from several radio receivers to demonstrate the possibility of detecting and identifying these devices based on their unintended emissions. Radiated fields from the different radio receivers have unique characteristics that can be used to identify these devices by analyzing time-frequency plots of measured radiation. A neural network was also developed for automated device detection.

Neural Networks Based Non-Uniform Scalar Quantizer Design With Particle Swarm Optimization, Wenwei Zha, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Quantization is a crucial link in the process of digital speech communication. Non-uniform quantizer such as the logarithm quantizers are commonly used in practice. In this paper, a companding non-uniform quantizer is designed using two neural networks to perform the nonlinear transformation. Particle swarm optimization is applied to find the weights of neural networks such that the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is maximized. Simulation results on different speech samples are presented and the proposed quantizer design is compared with the logarithm quantizer for bit rates ranging from 3 to 8.

Aircraft Cabin Noise Minimization Via Neural Network Inverse Model, Xiao Hu, G. Clark, M. Travis, J. L. Vian, Donald C. Wunsch

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper describes research to investigate an artificial neural network (ANN) approach to minimize aircraft cabin noise in flight. The ANN approach is shown to be able to accurately model the non-linear relationships between engine unbalance, airframe vibration, and cabin noise to overcome limitations associated with traditional linear influence coefficient methods. ANN system inverse models are developed using engine test-stand vibration data and on-airplane vibration and noise data supplemented with influence coefficient empirical data. The inverse models are able to determine balance solutions that satisfy cabin noise specifications. The accuracy of the ANN model with respect to the real system …

A feature extractor and neural classifier for image recognition system are proposed. They are based on the permutative coding technique which continues our investigations on neural networks. It permits us to obtain sufficiently general description of the image to be recognized. Different types of images were used to test the proposed image recognition system. It was tested on the handwritten digit recognition problem, the face recognition problem and the shape of microobjects recognition problem. The results of testing are very promising. The error rate for the MNIST database is 0.44% and for the ORL database is 0.1%.


Wide Area Power System Protection Using A Learning Vector Quantization Network, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Mahyar Zarghami Jan 2005

Wide Area Power System Protection Using A Learning Vector Quantization Network, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Mahyar Zarghami

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a wide area monitoring and protection technique based on a learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural network. Phasor measurements of the power network buses are monitored continuously by a LVQ network in order to alert the control room operators of possible faults. The proposed scheme could be used in a wide area monitored network to provide remedial action when primary local protection schemes for transmission lines fail to function. This technique could also be extended to the actuation of the secondary protection schemes, hence, preserving the integrity of the power network especially when the faults are spreading over …


A Neural Network Based Optimal Wide Area Control Scheme For A Power System, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Swakshar Ray Jan 2005

A Neural Network Based Optimal Wide Area Control Scheme For A Power System, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Swakshar Ray

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

With deregulation of the power industry, many tie lines between control areas are driven to operate near their maximum capacity, especially those serving heavy load centers. Wide area control systems (WACSs) using wide-area or global signals can provide remote auxiliary control signals to local controllers such as automatic voltage regulators, power system stabilizers, etc to damp out inter-area oscillations. This paper presents the design and the DSP implementation of a nonlinear optimal wide area controller based on adaptive critic designs and neural networks for a power system on the real-time digital simulator (RTDS©). The performance of the WACS as a …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents the design of a companding non-uniform optimal scalar quantizer for speech coding. The quantizer is designed using two neural networks to perform the nonlinear transformation. These neural networks are used in the front and back ends of a uniform quantizer. Two approaches are presented in this paper namely adaptive critic designs (ACD) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), aiming to maximize the signal to noise ratio (SNR). The comparison of these optimal quantizer designs over bit rate range of 3 to 6 is presented. The perceptual quality of the coding is evaluated by the International Telecommunication Union''s Perceptual …
