An on-line performance optimization of the Switched Reluctance Motor
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) has been developed extensively during the past 15 years. Due to the simple motor construction and power converter requirements, SRM drives have been found competitive with traditional ...
New power controllers and the cost analysis of designing mixed signal application specific integrated circuits
(1993)
Power Controllers in airborne Power Systems need to monitor system parameters, check for abnormal conditions and initiate action, while conserving area, weight and power. The new power controller designed also offers a ...
Fiber optic intrusion sensor investigation
(1994)
A novel type of fiber optic intrusion sensor has been proposed and investigated theoretically and experimentally. The sensor is configured as a coherent optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with a highly coherent laser ...
Mixed-signal processor for a Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor
(1994)
This dissertation presents the design and implementation of a novel mixed-signal processing method for recovering the pressure information obtained from a fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor. The sensor is ...
Fault location and parameter estimation on overhead transmission lines using synchronized sampling
(2000)
The deregulation of the power industry' in the United States along with the increasing demand for power may require the wheeling of large amounts of power between areas that are geographically distant from one another. ...
Performance characterization of monolithic thin film resistors
(1992)
Thin film resistors have a large resistance range and stable performance under high temperature operating condition. Thin film resistors trimmed by laser beam are able to achieve very high precision on resistance value. ...
The charge-based microelectronic implementation of neural networks
(1992)
The microelectronic implementation of neural networks has received widespread attention over the last few years. However, the scale of the integration is still far below what microelectronics routinely offers in the ...
Microwave opto-electronic device study : traveling wave photodetector and microstrip linear resonator
(1993)
A new type of photodetector, traveling wave photodetector (TWPD), was designed, fabricated, and tested. In a traveling wave photodetector structure the incident light interacts continuously with the optically generated ...
Fiber optic delay line development
(1994)
A program m able °Pheal-fiber delay gne using optical switches is investigated. The alpfiber optical switch is a MaC^'2 eh n d er interferometer w ith a piezoelectric transducer in each arm, which Pr°duces phase modulation ...
The study of the dynamic characteristics of bulk and quantum- well semiconductor lasers
(1992)
A reduced effective differential gain is shown for the first time to arise in diode lasers by including the modulation of the confinement factor with carrier density. This effective differential gain, and not the material ...
