چکیده
n the first part of this two-part series, we introduced the hardware used in the Santa Cruz Low-cost UAV GNC System (SLUGS), an open-source unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autopilot primarily focused on supporting guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) research. In this article, we’ll focus on the software architecture and algorithms. We’ll also present results from temperature compensation, sensor calibration, and flight tests.

A New Configuration for Power Sharing of Two Z-Source Inverters
This paper presents a new structure to provide the ability for power sharing of two Z-source inverters. According to the operation principles of Z-source inverters, only one input source supplies the circuit, which is a limitation particularly for the stand alone systems feeded by limited output power such as photovoltaics and feul cells. Furthermore; if one source fails to supply, the lo...
متن کاملImprovement of a Nano-scale Silicon on Insulator Field Effect Transistor Performance using Electrode, Doping and Buried Oxide Engineering
In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...
متن کاملA New Topology of Embedded Z-H Buck-Boost Converter
In this paper, a new embedded Z-H (EZ-H) buck-boost converter is proposed. In this topology, two identical dc voltage sources are embedded in a LC network in a series connection with the inductors. The proposed converter eliminates the shoot-through (ST) switching state and there is no need for a front-end diode. Other advantages of the proposed topology are having capability of buck and boost ...
متن کاملA Class E Power Amplifier with Low Voltage Stress
A new output structure for class E power amplifier (PA) is proposed in this paper. A series LC resonator circuit, tuned near the second harmonic of the operating frequency is added to the output circuit. This resonator causes low impedance at the second harmonic. The output circuit is designed to shape the switch voltage of the class E amplifier and lower the voltage stress of the transistor. T...
