The operation system includes radio equipment, documentation, operational resources, personnel, processes, data processing algorithms, etc. The operation process is associated with conditions of priori uncertainty of models, parameters, external factors, etc. The main element for monitoring is technical condition of radio equipment. In a general case, this condition can deteriorate. The problems of technical condition deterioration analysis can be considered in terms of changepoint study. The present paper concentrates on the problem of synthesis and analysis of method for changepoint detection during radio equipment operation. The detection algorithm is constructed based on Neyman–Pearson criterion with sample size accumulation. During algorithm synthesis the thresholds were calculated according to Bellman’s approach. The problem of synthesis and analysis was solved by two methods: analytically and using statistical modelling. The efficiency measures for this algorithm are the probability of correct detection and mean time of decision making. The proposed algorithm has advantages in mean time of decision making compared with CUSUM detection method.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"23 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42601222","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 contrast to those previously reported on, this novel method is of universal application while being unaffected by either the type or the order of the real digital processing algorithm employed as a prototype. The proposed technique builds on Watanabe and Nishihara’s complex orthogonal transformation, and converts real or complex orthogonal transfer functions into bicomplex orthogonal ones. In this study, the new technique is applied to the design and testing of orthogonal bilinear bicomplex filters with a canonical number of elements, the main advantage of which is that they are several times lower in order. In this way, bilinear bicomplex orthogonal transfer functions are made up of real coefficient ones of the fourth-order, thereby reducing the order of the filter by a factor of four. The experiments demonstrate that the properties of the prototype filter are acquired by the bicomplex orthogonal filters, irrespective of the prototype being complex or real in nature.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"30 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47870049","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}

It consists of a circular patch and a coaxial probe feed radiator. Circular polarization (CP) is attained by symmetric semi-circular slits of radius r1 at three edges of a circular path with 90° in direction, and the other semicircular slit is of different radius r2. To improve the impedance bandwidth and axial ratio, the radius of the fourth semicircular slit on circular patch antenna is varied. The design is verified by fabricating a compact antenna of 0.65λ0 × 0.65λ0 × 0.01λ0. The measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth is 3.9 % (5.36–5.56 GHz), 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth is 1.1 % (5.43–5.49 GHz) and gain of 6.6 dBi at resonant frequency of 5.37 GHz is obtained. The authors also describe two-dimensional radiation patterns of azimuth and elevation plane surface current distribution of the CP patch, VSWR < 2.

One of the possible applications, which usually requires a large set of numerical tests, is related to antenna design. Despite the well-known advantages offered by open source software, there are several critical points that restrict its practical application. First, the knowledge of the open source programs is often limited. Second, by using open source packages it is sometimes not easy to obtain results with a high level of confidence, and to integrate open source modules in the production workflow. In the paper, a discussion about open source programs for antenna design is carried out. Furthermore, some preliminary numerical tests are presented and discussed, also in comparison with those obtained by means of commercial software. Results are related to the simulation of various typologies of antennas in order to assess the capabilities of open source software in different configurations. The presented comparisons show that, despite the abovementioned limitations, the examined open source packages have similar performance with respect to their commercial counterparts.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"88 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47268883","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}

Various data such as core flux, age of asset, heat generation, current harmonics and temperature are monitored in real time and processed accordingly to enhance the working capability of the transformer. The proposed scheme is successfully tested on 15 kVA laboratory transformer using Arm CORTEX-M4 processor.

There are two main goals: to minimise energy consumption and to develop and investigate an adaptive control algorithm for UAV traction drive in order to increase energy efficiency. The optimal control algorithm is based on two target function values, when comparing and generating corresponding control signals. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is its unification and usability in any electrical UAV with a different number of traction drives, different or variable mass and other configuration differences without any initial manual setup.

Building a network capable of successfully segmenting real-world images does not require a real semantic image segmentation task. At this stage, called prototyping, a toy dataset can be used. Such a dataset can be artificial and thus may not need augmentation for training. Besides, its entries are images of much smaller size, which allows training and testing the network a way faster. Objects to be segmented are one or few convex polygons in one image. Thus, a toy dataset generator is created whose complexity is regulated by the number of edges in a polygon, the maximal number of polygons in one image, the set of scale factors, and the set of probabilities determining how many polygons in a current image are generated. The dataset capacity and image size are concurrently adjustable, although they are much less influential.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"54 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47105919","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}
