An Rc-Triggered Esd Clamp For High-Voltage Bcd Cmos Processes, Fati̇h Koçer Jan 2017

An Rc-Triggered Esd Clamp For High-Voltage Bcd Cmos Processes, Fati̇h Koçer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a novel RC-triggered, field-effect transistor (FET)-based power clamp that can be used in high-voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes. A simple two-stage design provides a fast trigger while keeping the clamp transistor on for much longer than the triggering duration without the need for an additional digital latching circuit. As the presented technique does not require any digital circuits, it is especially useful in bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) processes, where the implementation of digital blocks is difficult due to the limited gate-to-source voltage of the laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors. The proposed architecture is implemented in …

Lossless Predictive Coding Of Electric Signal Waveforms, Krzysztof Duda Jan 2017

Lossless Predictive Coding Of Electric Signal Waveforms, Krzysztof Duda

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper describes a new predictive coding algorithm designed for lossless compression of electric signal waveforms. Prediction coefficients are obtained from the sinusoidal signal autoregressive model. Predictors for a single sinusoid and the sum of two and three sinusoids are considered. Integer-to-integer coding is obtained by the proper (i.e. reversible) quantization of computations. The proposed coding algorithm shows better performance than the commonly used 2nd order differences coding and linear prediction coding that is optimal in the least squares sense.

This paper proposes a digital nonlinear control technique that employs a resettable integrator to shape the input current of the converter in phase with the input voltage to achieve high input power factor. This control approach rejects power source and load perturbations better than linear feedback control methods. This is …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a significant role in human-computer interactions. Recently, regularized linear representation-based classification has achieved satisfying results in FER. Considering that different blocks in a sample should contribute differently to the representation and classification, we propose an adaptive joint block-weighted collaborative representation-based classification (JBW_CRC) method to effectively exploit the similarity and distinctiveness of different blocks. In JBW_CRC, samples are divided into different blocks and each block of the query sample is represented as a feature vector. Each feature vector is coded on its related block dictionary, which considers the similarity among the feature vectors. Additionally, the distinctiveness …

The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. To investigate the effect of compensation on accuracy, …


Robust Control For Line-Of-Sight Stabilization Of A Two-Axis Gimbal System, Mehmet Baskin, Mehmet Kemal Leblebi̇ci̇oğlu Jan 2017

Robust Control For Line-Of-Sight Stabilization Of A Two-Axis Gimbal System, Mehmet Baskin, Mehmet Kemal Leblebi̇ci̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Line-of-sight stabilization against various disturbances is an essential property of gimbaled imaging systems mounted on mobile platforms. In recent years, the importance of target detection from higher distances has increased. This has raised the need for better stabilization performance. For that reason, stabilization loops are designed such that they have higher gains and larger bandwidths. As these are required for good disturbance attenuation, sufficient loop stability is also needed. However, model uncertainties around structural resonances impose strict restrictions on sufficient loop stability. Therefore, to satisfy high stabilization performance in the presence of model uncertainties, robust control methods are required. In …

In this technique, a 1553 nm wavelength signal was sent from one side of the test fiber. The FC/APC connector was attached to the other end of the test fiber. The temperature parameters of the single-mode fiber cables of different brands and types can be obtained using Brillouin scattering. The Brillouin frequency shift …


Concurrent Optimal Design Of Tcsc And Pss Using Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm, Muwaffaq Alomoush Jan 2017

Concurrent Optimal Design Of Tcsc And Pss Using Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm, Muwaffaq Alomoush

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The symbiotic organisms search (SOS), which has been recently introduced, is a robust powerful metaheuristic global optimizer. This nature-inspired algorithm imitates the symbiotic interaction strategies in an ecosystem exercised by organisms involved in interrelationships to survive and reproduce. One of the main beneficial features of the SOS in contrast to many other competent metaheuristic algorithms is that the algorithm does not need any specific algorithm parameters or tuning process. This paper applies the SOS algorithm to simultaneously design optimal controllers of a power system equipped with both a power system stabilizer (PSS) and a thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC). The algorithm …

Singular integral equations with additional conditions for infinite and semi-infinite periodic gratings are obtained. The current on the strips and spectral function of scattered field are expressed in terms of the solution of these equations. Numerical results for the near and far fields distribution are represented.

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Low bit-depth representation-based motion estimation approaches have been drawing considerable attention recently, mainly because of their small hardware footprint. In this paper, a new two-bit transform using a local binary pattern (LBP) for low-complexity motion estimation is proposed. The proposed approach utilizes the LBP method to obtain two-bit representations of video frames in the binarization process. Video frames are transformed into their low bit-depth representations by the LBP and then a motion estimation process is carried out using these binary frames. A Boolean exclusive-OR operation is used to calculate the number of nonmatching points metric instead of the conventional sum …

A Novel Empirical Sir-To-Cqi Mapping Rule For Dc-Hsdpa Systems, Çeti̇n Kurnaz, Begüm Korunur Engi̇z, Murat Oğuz Esenalp

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study aims to determine the mapping rule for signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) to channel quality indicator (CQI) based on DC-HSDPA real field measurements. The measurements were performed using the TEMS Investigation Tool at 85 different propagation mediums. The measurement results showed that the SIR-to-CQI mapping methods in the literature were insufficient to characterize actual radio environments; thus, proposal of a new empirical SIR-to-CQI mapping rule was aimed. This rule provides substantially better performance than the existing methods, and with this rule CQI can be generated from SIR with an accuracy of around 90% for DC-HSDPA systems.

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The protection ability of metal oxide arresters against switching, lightning, and steep current surges has been well proven. On the contrary, during the invasion of very fast transients, the existing arrester fails to operate due to delay in its initial response. In order to decrease the delay, it is imperative to improve the electrical properties of the arrester such as nonlinearity and voltage gradient with reduced capacitive effect. In this context, new arrester blocks are developed with the addition of a rare earth element, namely scandium trioxide (Sc$_{2}$O$_{3})$, and then sintered with a microwave sintering process. Owing to the uniform …
