- Artículo de Publicación PeriódicaOn the dynamics of a single-bit stochastic-resonance memory device(2010-07)"The increasing capacity of modern computers, driven by Moore’s Law, is accompanied by smaller noise margins and higher error rates. In this paper we propose a memory device, consisting of a ring of two identical overdamped bistable forward-coupled oscillators, which may serve as a building block in a larger scale solution to this problem. We show that such a system is capable of storing a single bit and its performance improves with the addition of noise. The proposed device can be regarded as asynchronous, in the sense that stored information can be retrieved at any time and, after a certain synchronization time, the probability of erroneous retrieval does not depend on which oscillator is being interrogated. We characterize memory persistence time and show it to be maximized for the same noise range that both minimizes the probability of error and ensures synchronization. We also present experimental results for a hard-wired version of the proposed memory, consisting of a loop of two Schmitt triggers. We show that this device is capable of storing a single bit and does so more efficiently in the presence of noise."
- Artículo de Publicación PeriódicaAnalysis of the Impact of the monitoring equipment on the common-mode to differential-mode conversion in bulk current injection tests(2021)"In this paper, the common-mode to differential mode conversion in a Bulk Current Injection (BCI) test setup is analyzed in the presence of an optical fiber transmitter. A modular-basis analysis based on S-parameters measurements and Electromagnetic simulations has been performed. It is shown that the loading effects can change the insertion losses from the RF amplifier to the Devices Under Test, even at frequencies as low as 10MHz by 2dB and up to 23dB at worst cases. The study has been undertaken with the substitution and closed-loop methods. Quantification of this problem as well as mitigation strategies are proposed, analyzed and evaluated with the aim of improving the accuracy of BCI simulations at early-design stages. Considering the significant cost of redesigning at an advanced point in the product development cycle, the presented work expects to raise awareness about how even small changes in the BCI setup can remarkably compromise the outcome."
- Artículo de Publicación PeriódicaLPV control of a magnetic bearing experiment(2010-10)"An LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) controller design example for a Magnetic Bearing System is presented. A linear model of the system including bending modes and imbalance is described. Simulations and experimental results show the usefulness of the LPV method with eigenvalue clustering constraints in spite of the limited rotation rate range. The results show that this method facilitates simulation and allows implementation. Conclusions are drawn on the limited range for the rotation rate the LPV controller allows for."
- Artículo de Publicación PeriódicaA novel design approach for switched LPV controllers(2022-07-22)"A novel design procedure for switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) controller is proposed. The new procedure, based on the Youla parameterisation ideas, decomposes the controller design into two steps. One focuses on ensuring global stability and the other on fulfilling the local performance specifications. This scheme allows the design of each local controller independently of each other, which may achieve higher performance without compromising the global stability and also simplifies the synthesis and the implementation of the local controllers. Any standard LPV synthesis procedure can be used to design these controllers. On the other hand, the stability during switching is ensured with convex constraints and no restrictions are imposed on the switching among controllers. The use of the proposed procedure is illustrated with an active magnetic bearing example."
- Artículo de Publicación PeriódicaApplied LPV Control with Full Block Multipliers and Regional Pole Placement(2010-05)"A formulation of an LPV control problem with regional pole placement constraints is presented, which is suitable for the application of a Full Block S-Procedure. It is demonstrated that improved bounds can be obtained on the induced 𝐿2 norm of closed loop systems, while satisfying pole placement constraints. An application consisting in the 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) control of a space vehicle is developed as an example, with hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation. This shows that the method is appealing from the practical point of view, considering that the synthesized control law can be implemented satisfactorily in standard flight control systems. Conclusions with remarks towards the practical use of the method are presented as well."
