A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...

In this paper, the combination of equalization and turbo decoding is studied. In the iterative decoding of a product code in block turbo coding system, the equalization process is performed within the iteration loop. The present study aims to investigate the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporated in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the more severe the channel interfe...

Under unbalanced supply condition low order harmonics will appear at the input and output terminals of the PWM AC to DC converter. Based on the positive and negative sequence components, an unbalanced transfer matrix in terms of the input phase voltages is derived. An on-line method using a neural network (NN) is used to implement this transfer matrix. It is shown that by using an additional lo...

A DSP-based mixed signal tester with feedback capability provides great flexibility and versatility in real-time mixed signal device testing. In this project, a DSP-based feedback loop system is designed and implemented for the DSP module of Schlumberger's new mixed signal tester. This DSP-based feedback loop system provides a dynamic close-loop testing environment for waveform generation and d...

This paper formulates a method to identify the open-loop dynamics of a system operating under closedloop conditions. The closed-loop excitation data and the feedback dynamics are assumed to be known. Two closed-loop configurations are considered where the system has either a linear output feedback controller or a dynamic output feedback controller. First, the closed-loop excitation data are use...

This paper studies output feedback control of pure-feedback systems with immeasurable states and completely non-affine property. Since availability of all the states is usually impossible in the actual process, we assume that just the system output is measurable and the system states are not available. First, to estimate the immeasurable states a state observer is designed. Relatively fewer res...

It is well known that noise is inevitable in gene regulatory networks due to the low-copy numbers of molecules and local environmental fluctuations. The prediction of noise effects is a key issue in ensuring reliable transmission of information. Interlinked positive and negative feedback loops are essential signal transduction motifs in biological networks. Positive feedback loops are generally...

cAMP plays crucial roles in cardiac remodeling and the progression of heart failure. Recently, we found that expression of cAMP hydrolyzing phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) was significantly reduced in human failing hearts, accompanied by up-regulation of inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER) expression. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol (ISO) also induc...
