Current laboratories either use specialized equipment with little or no ability to change system parameters or extremely general equipment with limited modulation types and pulse shaping options. One solution to this problem is to use digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. DSP systems are extremely flexible and provide the ability to implement a wide range of modulation types and pulse shapes. By using complex baseband signal processing techniques and two channels of output, both one- and two-dimensional constellations can be generated. Combining the signal processing capabilities of a DSP system with a simple user interface implemented on a desktop computer provides an attractive, simple and flexible laboratory tool. This system allows the student to generate various modulation types and view the corresponding signal constellations and eye patterns on an oscilloscope. Modulated signals can be generated by connecting the system outputs to a quadrature modulator. The user interface allows the student to change the modulation type or the pulse shape with a single keystroke. This functionality provides a friendly user interface which encourages more experimentation and increases the value of the laboratory experience. This paper presents the system design and user interface. Problems encountered during the design and equipment selection criteria are discussed. Preliminary implementation results are presented.","PeriodicalId":334874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '95.

Singh","doi":"10.1109/SECON.1995.513113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SECON.1995.513113","url":null,"abstract":"A large spacecraft such as the planned space station requires a relatively large amount of electrical power for its routine operation. For example, the power required by the space station is expected to be about 300 kW. This high power requirement entails a power system operating at a high voltage. The space station will operate at about 160 V. Such a large voltage in conjunction with the grounding scheme of the solar cell arrays, would make the potential of the space station structure highly negative with respect to the ionospheric plasma. Since the structure of the station is insulated by a 3-/spl mu/m thick coating of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and the plasma shields the potential, the large negative potential drops across the thin insulating layer, creating an intense electric field (/spl sim/5/spl times/10/sup 7/ V/m) in it. This raises the possibility of dielectric breakdown and arcing from the space station structure to the ionospheric plasma. Laboratory simulations of the arcing have shown large arc currents (/spl sim/1500 A) with a rise time of about 0.1 ms and a total duration of about /spl sim/1 ms. Such a large arc current can affect the operation of the power system and generates electromagnetic waves, which cause concerns about electromagnetic interference. In this paper we report the results from a study on the electromagnetic fields generated by the arc. This problem is modeled as the radiation from a monopole antenna having a transient current in a magnetized plasma.","PeriodicalId":334874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '95.

Although a typical sag is only 5 to 20 cycles, electronic equipment may fail or \"trip\". A trip of industrial process equipment, such as a motor drive or programmable logic controller, may be extremely costly. Methods to improve the \"ride-through\" capability of the equipment usually is a system solution: uninterruptable power supplies, motor-generator sets, etc. Often, only a few of the devices in an industrial process are very sensitive to sags. Therefore, a better solution is to desensitize the components which are affected by sags. Compared to AC variable frequency drives, DC motor drives are particularly susceptible to sags because they inherently lack electrical energy storage devices. The addition of capacitance on the DC-side of the drive will not improve ride-through and can be detrimental to controllability. Examples of DC drive response during sags are shown and methods for de-sensitizing DC motor drives for sag-related problems are discussed.","PeriodicalId":334874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '95.

Weaknesses in the existing methodology are identified and an effective, generalized methodology for correcting these weaknesses is proposed. Several key factors are investigated: a system-wide average iteration period for multiple input streams, the effect of communication overhead, and the influence of network topology.

In particular, when the network resources are allotted to more sources than the network can support, the network performance degrades for users. So, the network resources should be allotted in such a way that the network can operate at acceptable levels (maintain the QoS for all the existing connections) at times when the offered load to the network exceeds its capacity. So, a policing function is set up at the user network interface (UNI) for preventive congestion control. Many algorithms have previously been proposed for the UNI. Only a few algorithms are concerned with the cell delay variation (CDV). In the present paper, an improved version of the leaky bucket algorithm is presented to monitor traffic. This algorithm also checks those cells which are crossing the policing rate due to the effect of CDV and compensates them by sending them into the network without discarding. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the superior performance of this traffic control algorithm. The algorithm also makes use of the feedback control of the network status which in turn improves the throughput.","PeriodicalId":334874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '95.
