The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Simple Tuning algorithm applied on a Fuzzy Pulse Width Modulation controller in a real situation with DC gear motors. The fuzzy logic model proposed to control motor’s no-load speed consists in 25 rules based on Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System. A hardware implementation and an interface are designed for controlling the plant. In addition...

The main topic of this paper is to examine the impact on induction machine magnetic noise of a new stator magnetic circuit design. This new design was developed in order to increase AC machine energetic performance by assembling non-segmented shifted grainoriented steel sheets which make it possible to reduce iron losses. Experimental results on induction machine efficiency increase are present...

The optimal torque control of a synchronous machine is a classical problem. This paper presents an alternative to SVM (Space Vector Modulation which belongs to PWM approaches) based upon direct boolean control. The result is a predictive method allowing an optimal torque control of the synchronous machine. A comparison between both approaches will be proposed . Copyright  2002 IFAC

A new three-level ac–dc single-stage converter that can operate with standard phase-shift pulse width modulation is proposed in this letter. In this letter, the operation of the converter is explained, and its feasibility is confirmed with experimental results obtained from a prototype converter. Finally, the efficiency of the new converter is compared with that of a previously proposed convert...

A novel Current Controlled Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (CCSVPWM) technique for Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor drives, with a view to reduce torque ripple is proposed.

The main purpose of pulse-width –modulation technique for power inverters is to control the output voltage. The most familiar techniques: uniform-pulse-width-modulation and sinusoidal-pulsewidth-modulation. This paper proposes new techniques for improving the inverter performance. The methods are based on pulse-width technique. A variation of pulse-widths for the middle and boundary pulses is i...

Trends in modern communication systems place high demands on low power consumption, high speed transmission and anti-interference characteristics. Therefore impulse radio ultra–wideband (IR-UWB) [1] radio systems have recently gained increased popularity. Since IR-UWB symbols are transmitted with short pulses (< 2 ns), in IR-UWB systems, energy has been spread over the frequency bands of up to ...

Time hopping ultra wideband (TH-UWB) communication promises to be a viable technique to build a relatively simple, low-cost and 1ow-power transceiver that can be used for short range high speed wireless communication over the multipath channel. The successful deployment of TH-UWB systems strongly depends on the development of pulse waveforms, modulation techniques and system complexity. The TH-...

This paper describes state-of-the-art modulation techniques for visible-light-communications (VLCs) and proposes a new modulation technique, which is so-called generalized spatial pulse position modulation (GSPPM). Several modulation techniques, i.e., on-off-keying, pulse position modulation, pulse amplitude modulation and spatial modulation, are explained as background information for understa...
