An Improved Omthd Technique For An N-Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter With Adjustable Dc Sources, Hamidreza Toodeji Jan 2017

An Improved Omthd Technique For An N-Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter With Adjustable Dc Sources, Hamidreza Toodeji

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Optimal minimization of total harmonic distortion (OMTHD) and selective harmonic elimination (SHE) switching techniques are usually employed to reduce generated harmonics of multilevel inverters. In the former technique, the THD of waveform is reduced without elimination of any harmonic order and the latter, in contrast, eliminates selected harmonic orders. In this paper, the harmonic elimination ability of the SHE technique is added to OMTHD and an improved OMTHD technique is proposed for an n-level cascaded multilevel inverter with adjustable DC sources. The main novelty of this switching technique is elimination of some harmonic orders, beside THD minimization. Moreover, optimal DC …


On The Design Of Equal Division Single-Band Filtering Dividers With An Extended Transmission Line And Resistor As Isolation Elements, Zafar Bedar Khan, Huiling Zhao Jan 2017

On The Design Of Equal Division Single-Band Filtering Dividers With An Extended Transmission Line And Resistor As Isolation Elements, Zafar Bedar Khan, Huiling Zhao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper introduces a new scheme for effective output port isolation and return loss in RF-filtering divider design. The proposed design incorporates an extended transmission line and a conventional resistor as isolation elements. The technique has a simpler microstrip circuit implementation when it comes to the integration of a single-band band-pass filter with a Wilkinson power divider to achieve simultaneous filtering-dividing action. It is established that if a band-pass filter with a certain fractional-bandwidth is matched to 70.7 $\Omega $, a transmission line section and isolation resistor are sufficient for achieving reasonable output port return loss and isolation in the …

The performance of this method is tested in a parallel image reconstruction task, using the sensitivity-encoding (SENSE) technique. Under the quasi-static assumption and using the duality principle, we computed the sensitivity maps of a phased-array head coil and reconstructed full FOV images. The …


A Stable Marriage-Based Request Routing Framework For Interconnection Cdns, Bo Huang, Lijian Zou, Xiaowen Tong, Xiaoqun Yuan Jan 2017

A Stable Marriage-Based Request Routing Framework For Interconnection Cdns, Bo Huang, Lijian Zou, Xiaowen Tong, Xiaoqun Yuan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Content delivery network (CDN) interconnection is a promising solution to addressing the limited service scale of CDNs. It scales the CDN's service footprint through the cooperation of CDNs without significantly changing the existing network architecture. However, in a CDN interconnection system, CDNs are independent of each other and each pursues its own goals, which means that cooperation is hard to establish and easy to break. In our paper, we propose a stable marriage-based routing framework to establish a strong cooperation service for CDNs and to select the `optimal' server for each request among the cooperative CDNs. To this end, we …

Relaxation Rate And Polarization Charge Density Model For Aln/Al$_{X}$Ga$_{1 - X}$N/Aln Heterostructures, Nagarajan Sivarajan, Reeba Korah, Mariya Kalavathy Ganamani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This work describes the strain-relaxation--dependent carrier concentration ($n_{s})$ profile model using spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization for AlN/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1 - x}$N/AlN HEMTs in all mole fraction ($x)$ interpolations. As $x$ varies, the Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlGaN) channel shows strain relaxation with the Aluminum Nitride (AlN) barrier. The degree of relaxation is modeled from AlN to GaN regions in the channel. It shows that the AlN barrier and buffer relaxation and strain recovery occurs due to the gradual crystal quality degradation from barrier/buffer to the channel interface. These combination devices show less drain current degradation with temperature variation from 300 K to 573 …

Based on the identified power system model, the appropriate control law is derived through feedback linearization control with a self-tuned coefficient vector. The generated control signal modulates the real power flow through a high voltage direct current (HVDC) link during perturbed operating conditions and enhances system …


An Optimized Buffer Insertion Algorithm With Delay-Power Constraints For Vlsi Layouts, Chessda Uttraphan, Nasir Shaikh-Husin, Mohamed Khalil Hani Jan 2017

An Optimized Buffer Insertion Algorithm With Delay-Power Constraints For Vlsi Layouts, Chessda Uttraphan, Nasir Shaikh-Husin, Mohamed Khalil Hani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a grid-graph algorithm for interconnect routing and buffer insertion in nanometer VLSI layout designs. The algorithm is designed to handle multiconstraint optimizations, namely timing performance and power dissipation. The proposed algorithm is called HRTB-LA, which stands for hybrid routing tree and buffer insertion with look-ahead. In recent VLSI designs, interconnect delay has become a dominant factor compared to gate delay. The well-known technique to minimize the interconnect delay is by inserting buffers along the interconnect wires. However, the buffer itself consumes power and it has been shown that power dissipation overhead due to buffer insertions is significantly high. …

The approach considered here is to use generalized orthonormal basis functions in a Hammerstein block structure by using fixed pole filter banks. We applied the normalized least mean square approach to the developed adaptive algorithm in order to acquire Hammerstein block structure parameters. Performance comparison of the proposed approach was investigated considering convergence speed and parametric complexity for acoustic echo cancellation application. The results indicated that in the developed algorithm along with appropriate selection of fixed poles, the algorithm …


A Novel Wound Field Flux Switching Machine With Salient Pole Rotor And Nonoverlapping Windings, Faisal Khan, Erwan Sulaiman, Md Zarafi Ahmad Jan 2017

A Novel Wound Field Flux Switching Machine With Salient Pole Rotor And Nonoverlapping Windings, Faisal Khan, Erwan Sulaiman, Md Zarafi Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A flux switching machine (FSM) with a segmented rotor and nonoverlapping windings is an attractive alternative for driving high torque density applications. However, a rotor with segments makes the motor less robust as well as difficult to be assembled, while a FSM with salient rotor and overlapping windings inherits high copper losses and less efficiency due to high coil volume. In this paper, a novel structure of FSM with nonoverlapping windings and salient rotor is proposed, making it different from the 10Slot-8Pole segmental and salient rotor FSM. Several design parameters defined in the rotor, armature coil, and field excitation coil …

Universal And Stable Medical Image Generation For Tissue Segmentation (The Unistable Method), Ihab Elaff, Ali El-Kemany, Mohammed Kholif

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Segmentation of medical images has been one of the most important research areas because of its impact in modeling and diagnosing the structure and the functions of various organs. The lack of unique solution for the segmentation problem of medical images is caused by the wide range of selections among different medical imaging modalities and clustering methods where each setting has its own estimates for solving this problem. The unistable method is a novel method that generates enhanced images with high contrast, which can reduce boundary overlap between different tissues. This is accomplished by fusion of different clustering maps, which …
