In this thesis, switched hybrid approach has been adopted to model and control systems with backlash nonlinearity. Switched hybrid systems are characterized by switching between different vector fields in differential ...

During the last decade, digital audio has essentially replaced analog audio. Emerging digital audio applications for networks, wireless, and multimedia computing systems face a series of constraints such as reduced ...

This thesis focuses on the design and performance of sampled-data control of continuous-time systems. The philosophy of the control law design is based on stabilization of discrete-time equivalent models of the continuous-time ...

Array antennas due to their ability to achieve high directivity, narrow beams and low side lobe levels are used in modern high performance radar systems. Among array antennas, microstrip arrays posses several unique ...

Adaptive equalizers remove signal distortion causing Inter-symbol Interference in bandlimited channels. The tap coefficients of these equalizers are time-varying and can be updated using several methods. When these do not ...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has attracted tremendous attention in the last few years particularly in applications that require high data rates to be supported under fading channels. OFDM has an ...

In this report, a SIMULINK model has been proposed for the optically amplified DWDM optical transmission system. Given that the demands of ultra-wideband transmission over the Internet, transmission techniques are now ...

REDUCTION IN OSCILLATION OF A SUSPENDED LOAD IN OVERHEAD CRANES By Tahir Ilyas Movement of heavy loads using overhead cranes is a very important process in industry. Moving a suspended load causes undesirable swings ...

Pulsed power applications like lasers, electronic beam welding etc require conversion of power at high voltages and at high switching speed. Numerous methods and topologies are available for tackling the requirement but ...
