The system levitates and supports a rotor without contact. The AMB is unstable and strongly nonlinear due to characteristics of the magnetic levitation. Furthermore, gyroscopic effect occurs corresponding to the rotational speed and the moment of inertia of the rotor. Thus, the AMB system tends to be unstable by the gyroscopic effect. The rotational speed is not fixed but variable in actual operation. It is treated as a time-varying parameter. The moment of inertia does not changed in operation but different by situations. It is treated as an uncertain time-invariant parameter. The robust stability for the uncertain parameters in the rotational speed and the moment of inertia is guaranteed by using polytopic representation. Linear fractional transformation (LFT) is applied to design the GS controller via parameter dependent Lyapunov function. The problem of designing the GS controller can be formulated as solving a finite set of linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by simulations.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127661452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In preliminary experiment, we investigates the number of features that can yield the best performance in the classification and it is found that the optimal number of features is 50. For performance evaluation, five classifiers including Decision Tree, K-nearest neighbor, Naive Bayes, RBF, and SMO, with 10 fold cross-validation technique are adopted.

A maximum likelihood (ML) estimator based on Double Dwell Synchronization (DDS) is employed for offset estimation and correction. The proposed DDS scheme provides an accurate estimate over a wide estimation range with reduced computational complexity for both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The number of pilot subcarriers as well as the type of used pilot sequence are investigated to improve the system performance. Simulation results show that the proposed DDS provides a reduction of about 3 dB in the required signal-to-noise ratio as the number of pilots is doubled. It is also shown that the DDS approaches the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for systems with large number of subcarriers. Finally, it is shown that for flat fading conditions, using an m-sequence as a pilot sequence provides better performance over complex-valued random or real-valued antipodal sequences.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129195389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
