A tutorial – game theory-based extended H infinity filtering approach to nonlinear problems in signal processing

In this paper, we provide a tutorial for the applications of “game-theory-based extended H infinity filtering (EHIF)” approach to various problems in disciplines of signal processing. The algorithm of this filtering approach is similar to that of the extended Kalman filtering (EKF). Since its invention, the Kalman filtering approach has been successfully and widely employed for many problems in scientific and engineering fields, e.g. target tracking, satellite systems, control, communications, etc. Therefore, the H infinity filtering approach also can be applied to all these problems. One big difference of EHIF from the EKF approach is that we apply it with unknown noise statistics of the state and measurement. In this tutorial, we introduce this non-well-known approach in spite of its practical usefulness, by providing the step by step algorithm with example problems of a number of signal processing disciplines. We also show that EHIF can outperform other approaches including the EKF that need to know the noise statistics in their applications, in some scenarios. By the contribution of this tutorial, we look forward to easy, and disseminative applications of EHIF to problems where, particularly, the EKF or particle filter could have been applied if noise statistics were known.     

Measurement on the structural,morphological, electrical and optical properties of PANI-CSA nanofilms

Camphorsulfonic acid doped polyaniline (PANI-CSA) prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization is spin coated on glass plates with four different PANI:CSA weight ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8) and measurements on the structural and optical properties are done. Thickness of the films measured <100 nm are termed as nanofilms. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the presence of dopant and an increase in degree of polymerization with increase in dopant ratio. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the change of amorphous nature of the film to crystalline nature with increase in CSA dopant ratio. Scanning electron microscopy showed the change of very smooth morphology of the film to rough root-like morphology with increase in CSA dopant ratio. Hall-effect analysis showed that the increase in CSA weight ratio appreciably increases the conductivity of PANI-CSA films due to increase in carrier concentration and it also represents the semiconductivity (P-type) nature in all the films. UV–visible absorption studies reveal the broadening of absorption spectrum in visible region with maximum CSA dopant ratio (1:8). Photoluminescence spectra of PANI-CSA films excited using 300 nm, revealed that the change in intensity and position of emission peaks are due to transition of semiconducting nature of the film to conducting nature with an increase in CSA dopant ratio from 1:1 to 1:8.     

Vibration component separation by iteratively using stochastic resonance with different frequency-scale ratios

It is well-known that stochastic resonance (SR) is mainly used for signal denoising and weak signal detection. In this paper, we firstly find the frequency range selection characteristic (filtering characteristic) of re-scaling frequency SR (RFSR) caused by the driving frequency limitation of bistable SR. It then follows that a novel approach to separate vibration components with different frequencies by iteratively using SR is explored. The frequencies of most vibration signals exceed the driving frequency limitation, thus by use of different frequency-scale ratios, the vibration signals with different frequency range can be extracted by RFSR. Firstly, a small frequency-scale ratio is used to obtain the vibration signal with a narrow frequency range, i.e. low frequency vibration. As the output of SR may have a phase lag, a simple phase-shift correction method is proposed to improve the accuracy of signal component separation. The phase-shift corrected signal of RFSR output is separated from the original vibration signal and the residue is treated as the new vibration signal. Then, increasing the frequency-scale ratio according to a searching algorithm, the vibration signal with higher frequency can be obtained by RFSR. Through this iterative process, several harmonic vibration components can be separated from the original noisy vibration signal. The proposed method, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert vibration decomposition (HVD) are respectively applied to analyzing a simulated vibration signal and extracting the fault feature of a rotor system. The contrastive results show that this proposed method has good frequency resolution and can successfully separate monocomponent harmonic signals from a strongly noisy multicomponent harmonic vibration signal while EMD and HVD cannot.     

Correlation between infrared,THz and microwave dielectric properties of vanadium doped antiferroelectric BiNbO4

Terahertz (THz) transmissivity and infrared (IR) reflectivity spectra of orthorhombic microwave (MW) ceramics Bi(Nb_1−xV_x)O₄ (0.002 < x < 0.032) were measured between 4 and 3000 cm⁻¹ (0.09–90 THz) at room temperature. A well underdamped mode, presumably the ferroelectric soft mode, was observed at 25 cm⁻¹. Complex permittivity spectra obtained from the fits to our data were extrapolated down to the MW range and compared with the dielectric data near 5 GHz. The linear extrapolation of dielectric losses from THz down to the MW range is in agreement with the experimental MW losses. Addition of 3.2% of vanadium reduces the sintering temperature to 850 °C and the dielectric properties (ɛ′ = 42.2, Q·f = 14,000 GHz, τ_f = +10 ppm/°C) remain at a level satisfactory for MW applications. Somewhat lower MW losses were observed in a sample sintered in the N₂ atmosphere.

Simulation of a mass-spring model for global deformation

This article addresses a largely open problem in haptic simulation and rendering: contact force and deformation modeling for haptic simulation of a discrete globe mass-spring model, especially for global deformation. The mass-spring system is composed of nodes connected with radially distributed springs. We tackle the problem using the theory of virtual work, and relations between the virtual force and nodal displacements are analyzed to obtain elastic deformations. The global deformation is controlled by the total nodal deformations based on a force equation at each node. The simulation results verify the efficiency of the contact force and deformation model with reasonable realism. __________ Translated from Journal of Southeast University (Natural Science Edition), 2007, 37(5): 849–852 [译自 : 东南大学学报 (自然科学版)]
