Comparison of performance between bipolar and unipolar double-frequency sinusoidal pulse width modulation in a digitally controlled H-bridge inverter system

By deriving the discrete-time models of a digitally controlled H-bridge inverter system modulated by bipolar sinu- soidal pulse width modulation （BSPWM） and unipolar double-frequency sinusoidal pulse width modulation （UDFSPWM） respectively, the performances of the two modulation strategies are analyzed in detail. The circuit parameters, used in this paper, are fixed. When the systems, modulated by BSPWM and UDFSPWM, have the same switching frequency, the stabil- ity boundaries of the two systems are the same. However, when the equivalent switching frequencies of the two systems are the same, the BSPWM modulated system is more stable than the UDFSPWM modulated system. In addition, a convenient method of establishing the discrete-time model of piecewise smooth system is presented. Finally, the analytical results are confirmed by circuit simulations and experimental measurements.

Double-Frequency Microseisms on the Thick Unconsolidated Sediments in Eastern and Southeastern Coasts of United States: Sources and Applications on Seismic Site Effect Evaluation

This study presents a systematic analysis of double-frequency(DF) microseisms recorded on the unconsolidated sediments in the eastern and southeastern coasts of United States. For all recordings, the site effect parameters(predominant frequency(f_(0)), amplification factor and unconsolidated sediment thickness(UST)) are obtained by Nakamura method and the DF spectra are classified into five groups in terms of the DF peak patterns and the recording locations relative to the coastline. The frequencies and energy levels of the DF peaks in horizontal direction and the amplification factors are associated with the UST which is resulted from seismic site effect. By polarization analysis, the primary vibration directions of the DF peaks are identified and presented as great circles passing through the recording stations intersecting mainly along the continental slope. Correlation analyses of time histories of the DF energy and the ocean wave climate observed at buoys show that the low(<0.2 Hz) and high(>0.2 Hz) frequency DF microseisms are generated in the deep ocean and the continental shelf respectively. It is concluded that the continental slope plays a significant role in the generation of DF microseisms as it causes reflection of waves from the open ocean, initiating standing waves.

Locating the Source Regions of the Single and Double-Frequency Microseisms to Investigate the Source Effects on HVSR in Site Effect Analysis

Evaluating the seismic site effect by the ambient noise based horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR)method is strongly affected by the spatial and temporal variations of the ambient noise sources.Therefore,it is necessary to locate the source regions of ambient noise and investigate the relationships between the source energy and HVSR values at the predominant frequency(HVSRf_(0))of the site.The generation mechanisms of the single-and double-frequency microseisms(SFMs,0.05-0.085 Hz and DFMs,0.1-0.5 Hz)in ambient noise are better understood than the noise in other frequency bands and they are dominantly composed of fundamental Rayleigh(Rg)waves.With this advantage,the recordings of SFMs and DFMs at 30 stations in the east coast region of the United States are used to demonstrate a study on locating their source regions with reasonable certainty and constructing the functional relationship between the HVSRf_(0) and the source energy of SFMs and DFMs.The recordings are processed in four sub-frequency bands(Fs)of SF and DF bands and a polarization analysis is carried out to select the ellipsoids approximating the particle motions of Rg waves.Then the probability density functions of the back azimuths of the ellipsoids’semi-major axes are computed for each F and station,and are projected on the ocean to determine their possible source regions.These regions are further constrained by(1)the correlation coefficients between the SFMs and the WAVEWATCHⅢ(WWⅢ)hindcasts of ocean wave spectra in the SF band,or between the DFMs and the modeled DF energy on ocean surface in the selected time windows in the DF band,(2)the energy contribution defined by(i)the average WWⅢocean wave energy and the ocean bottom topographical gradient in the SF band,or(ii)the average modeled DF energy on ocean surface and a frequency and water depth dependent coefficient measuring the conversion efficiency of DF energy from water to solid earth in the DF band,and(3)the percentile retained energy of Rg waves in both the SF and DF bands.Results of source regions reveal that(1)the SFMs recorded in eastern US result from the interactions of low frequency(0.05-0.085 Hz)ocean waves with the continental slope and shelf of western North Atlantic Ocean;(2)the source regions for long-(0.1-0.2 Hz)period DFMs are located in the deep ocean close to the continental slope;and(3)the short-(0.2–0.5 Hz)period DFMs are generated in the continental shelf.Finally,the correlation analyses between the simulated source energy and the HVSRf_(0) values at the stations whose f_(0) s fall in DF band are carried out revealing significant source effect on thick sediments at low frequencies.

Passive sonar identification (Ⅲ): Feature extraction and pattern plates of double-frequency spectrum as well as average power spectrum

This series of papers deal with vessel recognition. The project is conducted by using fuzzy neural networks and basing on the spectra of vessel radiated-noise. Based on the studies of a large amount of ship radiated-noise data, which has been collected from actual ships on the sea, effectively recognizable features are extracted. Such features include line-spectrum features, stationary and nonstationary spectrum features as well as rhythm features. Finally the categorization are tested by unknown samples on the sea, including 33 surface vessels, 8 underwater vessels in 30 operating conditions. Methods for memorization and classilication are also explored in the project. Paper (Ⅲ) is the thirird in the series. It deals with the extraction method of modulation information in double-frequency power spectrum and the establishment of pattern plate of double-frequency spectrum as well as average power spectrum. To extract features from double-frequency spectrum, the tendency of wave is subtracted from the wave of each channel and the modulation of high frequency is compensated. The modulation degree of lines is shown by relative Value and converted to fuzzy value by fuzzy function. The pattern-plate of double-frequency spectrum memorises stable line and its respective modulation strength. The pattern-plate of average power spectrum memorizes the spectra mean of typical samples and the standard variance

Simulation study of longitudinal injection scheme for HALS with a higher harmonic cavity system

Longitudinal injection is a promising on-axis injection scheme for diffraction-limited storage rings. In the latest version of the Hefei advanced light source (HALS), both the dynamic aperture and momentum aperture have been optimized. A longitudinal injection scheme was investigated on the HALS using a doublefrequency radio frequency system. To evaluate the injection performance, various errors were considered. A series of tracking simulations were conducted, and the injection efficiency was obtained under different error levels.

Applying Sliding Mode Control to Suppress Double Frequency Voltage Ripples in Single-phase Quasi-Z-source Inverters

The inherent double-line frequency ripple(DFR)of the single-phase quasi-Z-Source inverter(qZSI)strongly affects performance and design of the whole system,which requires hardware improvement methods such as additional semiconductor components or increasing the volume of capacitors and inductors.As a result,hardware solutions increase the price,and the volume and also reduces reliability of the system.In this paper,as a non-hardware solution,a sliding mode control(SMC)method is presented to control the voltage of the qZSI capacitor.To suppress the DFR,a second-order harmonic is injected into the capacitor reference voltage.Simulation and experimental results show that the introduced controller will have satisfactory results in reducing the DFR without any hardware changes in the qZSI,such as increasing the volume of the capacitor and inductor,adding a semiconductor,or increasing the frequency.A simulation model and experimental prototype are provided to demonstrate the validation of the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
