A design method of model predictive controller for sampled-data systems is presented using the lifting model of the step response of the plant. Compared to the standard model predictive controller, the new controller considers the inter-sample behavior of the continuous system and therefore it provides better performance

A MIMO (multi-input multi-output) radar system, unlike a standard phased-array radar, can choose freely the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the power around the locations of the targets of interest, or more generally to approximate a given transmit beampattern, and also to minimize the cross-correlation of the signals reflected back to the radar by the targets of interest. In this paper, we show how the above desirable features can be achieved by designing the covariance matrix of the probing signal vector transmitted by the radar. Moreover, in a numerical study, we show that the proper choice of the probing signals can significantly improve the performance of adaptive MIMO radar techniques. Additionally, we demonstrate the advantages of several MIMO transmit beampattern designs, including a beampattern matching design and a minimum sidelobe beampattern design, over their phased- array counterparts.

In this paper, robust finite-time control problem of nonlinear systems with dynamic uncertainties is investigated. To solve this problem, a partial-state control design is proposed in a constructive way. With small-gain type local conditions, finite-time stabilization of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is obtained.

Discrete-event systems (DES) can be found as essential integrated subsystems in electrical power systems. The continuous trajectory of the system state can be interrupted by discrete control actions and uncontrolled disturbances. Under-load tap-changing transformers (ULTC) which obviously have discrete-event behavior are widely used in transmission systems to take care of instantaneous variations in the load conditions in substations. ULTC may be controlled either automatically or manually. The paper discusses synthesis of supervisory controller of ULTC as a discrete-event system. Different parts of the ULTC as well as its control logic (specification) have been modeled as DES. Supervisory controllers are designed for the tap-changer in Automatic and Auto/Manual modes of operation. It is shown that the specifications are controllable and the closed loop control system is non-blocking. Protective system designers in electrical powers systems can use the proposed approach to verify their control logic for ULTC.

We present two improved multi-static adaptive microwave imaging (MAMI) methods: MAMI-2 and MAMI-C, for early breast cancer detection. MAMI is one of the microwave imaging modalities based the significant contrast between the dielectric properties of normal and malignant breast tissues and employs multiple antennas that take turns to transmit ultra wideband (UWB) pulses while all antennas are used to receive the reflected signals. The MAMI methods we investigate herein utilize the data-adaptive robust Capon beamformer (RCB) to achieve high resolution and interference suppression. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods for breast cancer detection via numerical examples with data simulated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method based on a 3-D realistic breast model

The projection of the Nyquist diagram of a SISO linear system onto the Riemann sphere is recently used to represent the frequency responses. However, it is difficult to display the Riemann plot clearly in a plane since the Riemann sphere is a three dimensional object. To address this problem, the map projection of Riemann plot is introduced to obtain a two dimensional plot. The new frequency response plot plays the same role in modern robust control as Riemann plot, and easy to draw in a plane

Network protocols in layered architectures have historically been obtained on an ad-hoc basis, and much of the recent cross-layer designs are conducted through piecemeal approaches. Network protocols may instead be holistically analyzed and systematically designed as distributed solutions to some global optimization problems in the form of generalized network utility maximization (NUM), providing insight on what they optimize and structures of the network protocol stack. This paper presents a short survey of the recent efforts towards a systematic understanding of "layering" as "optimization decomposition", where the overall communication network is modeled by a generalized NUM problem, each layer corresponds to a decomposed subproblem, and the interfaces among layers are quantified as functions of the optimization variables coordinating the subproblems. Furthermore, there are many alternative decompositions, each leading to a different layering architecture. Industry adoption of this unifying framework has also started. Here we summarize the current status of horizontal decomposition into distributed computation and vertical decomposition into functional modules such as congestion control, routing, scheduling, random access, power control, and coding. Key messages and methodologies arising out of many recent work are listed. Then we present a list of challenging open issues in this area and the initial progress made on some of them.

This paper is a study of the optimization of a configuration and reconfiguration problem applied to the navy ship power system presenting a redundant power distribution layout. The multiagent method has been applied in order to make the power system converge towards its optimal configuration in its initial start up and during normal operation when a reconfiguration is required. The optimal process has been achieved by the agents and the simulations have been conducted with different cases of operation mode of the navy ship. The optimal configurations were derived through a program written in C++ for the agents and the results confirm the feasibility of applying the multiagent method for optimizing the navy ship power system

We consider improving the performance of communications over unknown channels with unknown frequency offsets. In lieu of the commonly suggested double differential (DD) modulation/detection, we consider single differential (SD) modulation/detection. We propose an approach that first estimates and compensates for the frequency offset and then detects using an existing multiple symbol detector for SD modulation. We introduce a simple data-symbol- independent frequency offset estimation method, which is reasonably accurate when using a data block larger than the one used for detection. Simulation results show that the SD modulation/detection approach proposed herein can significantly outperform the DD modulation/detection schemes.
