Real-time performance of periodic data transmission in EPA industrial Ethernet

To evaluate and improve the real-time performance of Ethernet for plant automation（EPA） industrial Ethernet,the real-time performance of EPA periodic data transmission was theoretically and experimentally studied.By analyzing information transmission regularity and EPA deterministic scheduling mechanism,periodic messages were categorized as different modes according to their entering-queue time.The scheduling characteristics and delivery time of each mode and their interacting relations were studied,during which the models of real-time performance of periodic information transmission in EPA system were established.On this basis,an experimental platform is developed to test the delivery time of periodic messages transmission in EPA system.According to the analysis and the experiment,the main factors that limit the real-time performance of EPA periodic data transmission and the improvement methods were proposed.

A performance enhanced Rayleigh Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensing system

Aiming at the problem of large fading noise in Rayleigh Brillouin optical time domain analysis system, a wavelength scanning technique is proposed to enhance the performance of the temperature sensing system. The principle of the proposed technique to reduce the fading noise is introduced based on the analysis of Rayleigh Brillouin optical time domain analysis system. The experimental results show that the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at the end of optical fiber with length of 50 m after 17 times wavelength scanning is 5.21 d B higher than that with single wavelength, the Brillouin frequency shift(BFS) on the heated fiber with length of 70 m inserted at the center of sensing fiber can be accurately measured as 0.19 MHz, which is equivalent to a measurement accuracy of 0.19 °C. It indicates that the proposed technique can realize high-accuracy temperature measurement and has huge potential in the field of long-distance and high-accuracy sensing.

Positioning performance analysis of the time sum of arrival algorithm with error features

The theoretical positioning accuracy of multilateration(MLAT) with the time difference of arrival(TDOA) algorithm is very high. However, there are some problems in practical applications. Here we analyze the location performance of the time sum of arrival(TSOA) algorithm from the root mean square error(RMSE) and geometric dilution of precision(GDOP) in additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) environment. The TSOA localization model is constructed. Using it, the distribution of location ambiguity region is presented with 4-base stations. And then, the location performance analysis is started from the 4-base stations with calculating the RMSE and GDOP variation. Subsequently, when the location parameters are changed in number of base stations, base station layout and so on, the performance changing patterns of the TSOA location algorithm are shown. So, the TSOA location characteristics and performance are revealed. From the RMSE and GDOP state changing trend, the anti-noise performance and robustness of the TSOA localization algorithm are proved. The TSOA anti-noise performance will be used for reducing the blind-zone and the false location rate of MLAT systems.

Adaptive command filter constraint control of rolling mill torsional vibration under current harmonic

An adaptive command filter control strategy was proposed to realize the asymptotic tracking of the roll speed,which successfully suppressed torsional vibration for the main drive system of the rolling mill with nonlinear friction,nonlinear damping,current harmonic,time-varying stiffness and unknown disturbance.A finite time predetermined performance method was proposed,so that the speed tracking error of the main transmission system was always constrained in the performance function and converged to its minimum boundary within the specified time.Based on the adaptive estimation of harmonic amplitude,the torque control law of the motor was obtained by using the filter backstepping method,which prevented the torsional vibration of the system caused by the input fluctuation and avoided the complexity explosion of the controller design,and the stability of the closed-loop system was strictly proved by the Lyapunov theory.The actual numerical simulation verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

A new iterative algorithm for geolocating a known altitude target using TDOA and FDOA measurements in the presence of satellite location uncertainty

This paper considers the problem of geolocating a target on the Earth surface whose altitude is known previously using the target signal time difference of arrival （TDOA） and frequency difference of arrival （FDOA） measurements obtained at satellites. The number of satellites available for the geolocation task is more than sufficient and their locations are subject to random errors. This paper derives the constrained Cramor-Rao lower bound （CCRLB） of the target position, and on the basis of the CCRLB analysis, an approximately efficient constrained maximum likelihood estimator （CMLE） for geolocating the target is established. A new iterative algorithm for solving the CMLE is then proposed, where the updated target position estimate is shown to be the globally optimal solution to a generalized trust region sub-problem （GTRS） which can be found via a simple bisection search. First-order mean square error （MSE） analysis is conducted to quantify the performance degradation when the known target altitude is assumed to be precise but indeed has an unknown but deterministic error. Computer simulations are used to compare the performance of the proposed iterative geolocation technique with those of two benchmark algorithms. They verify the approximate efficiency of the proposed algorithm and the validity of the MSE analysis.
