This letter presents an analytical framework for a performance analysis of the imperfect direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) closed-loop power control (CLPC) loop with loop delay, channel estimation error, and power control command bit error as the parameters under a Rayleigh flat fading environment. The proposed model is verified through a comparison between analytical results and simulation ones.

This paper presents the algorithm for envelope protection of helicopters. The algorithm consists of two feedback control loops: inner loop and outer loop. As an inner loop control, model following control is designed to meet the ADS-33 handling qualities specification by minimizing the tracking errors between the responses of the actual model and those of the command filter. In order to implement envelope protection, saturation limiter is imposed to command channels in command filter, whose limits are computed corresponding to the envelope limit. Fast model predictive control is designed as an outer loop control to deal with saturation constraints generated by the inner loop envelope protection and also imposed by outer loop envelope protection variables. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm yields good envelope protection performance.

A study was conducted to apply open-loop control to the combustion instability in a dump combustor using gaseous hydrocarbon fuels. Control power and frequency were varied by employing a loudspeaker under combustion conditions with similar characteristic chemistry times of the fuels. In the case of open-loop control where the frequency was identical to the combustion instability frequency, the open-loop control power affected the control performance. Results obtained from conducted open-loop control tests, where the frequency was different from the combustion instability frequency, show that setting the open-loop control frequency similar to the combustion instability frequency is effective.

This paper proposes a simple and intuitive model-free torque-tracking control for rotary electro-hydraulic actuators. The undesirable natural-velocity-feedback effect is discussed by introducing mechanical impedance into the electro-hydraulic actuation system. The proposed model-free torque control comprises inner- and outer-loop control to achieve two control objectives. Inner-loop control reduces the mechanical impedance passively and optimally. To improve the tracking accuracy, a certain form of proportional-integral-derivative control is applied to the outer loop. The robustness of the proposed closed-loop system against external disturbances is demonstrated by transforming the two-loop control structure into a disturbance observer form. The proposed method is validated on a single joint electro-hydraulic actuator.

The GPS tracking loop consists of three parts in general: discriminator, loop filter and DCO (Digitally Controlled Oscillator). The loop filter is the main part of the tracking loop designed to ensure a good tracking performance. Generally, the loop filter is designed using classical PI(Proportional Integral) control. Although the carrier Doppler and code Doppler are generated by the same relative movement between the satellite and the user, often, the loop filters for each tracking loop are designed separately and independently. Sometimes, they are used in a combined manner such as carrier aided code tracking, FLL assisted PLL, etc. For better GPS signal tracking, we need to design the FLL/PLL/DLL altogether optimally. The purpose of this paper is to design a GPS receiver tracking loop based on the Kalman filter in a combined manner. Also, the proposed GPS receiver tracking loop is compared with a conventional tracking loop in terms of the transfer function and the DCO input. This paper shows that conventional tracking loop is equal to the Kalman filter based tracking loop.

This paper proposes an observer-based method for adaptive nonlinear guidance. Previously, adaptive nonlinear guidance law is proposed considering target maneuver and control loop dynamics. However, several information of this guidance law is not available, and therefore needs to be estimated for more practical application. Accordingly, considering the unavailable information as bounded time-varying uncertainties, an integrated guidance and control model is re-formulated in normal form with respect to available states including target uncertainties and control loop dynamics. Then, a nonlinear observer is designed based on the integrated guidance and control model. Finally, using the estimates for states and uncertainties, an observer-based adaptive guidance law is proposed to guarantee the desired interception performance against maneuvering target. The proposed approach can be effectively used against target maneuver and the limited performance of control loop. The stability analyses and simulations of the proposed observer and guidance law are included to demonstrate the practical application of our scheme.

The drive system of servo motor is requested to have robustness of disturbance and parameter variation. However, the dynamics of PMSM drive change significantly by forced disturbance and parameter variation. Moreover, the state error caused by them should be suppressed completely and rapidly. In this paper, the vector-control system of PMSM using dual adaptive control loop is investigated. In the proposed system, linear adaptive control loop rapidly recovers the state error caused by both disturbance and parameter variation. In the dual adaptive control loop, the inner loop reduces the system sensitivity of parameter variation and disturbance, and the outer loop suppresses the state error caused by them completely. The proposed servo system is verified through a computer simulations and experimental results.

Chen and Chen(FSS, 1993, 159-168) presented a reasonable analytical model of fuzzy closed-loop systems and proposed a method to analyze the stability of fuzzy control by the relational matrix of fuzzy system. Chen, Lu and Chen(IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern., 1995, 881-888) formulated the sufficient and necessary conditions on stability of fuzzy closed-loop control systems. Gang and Chen(FSS, 1996, 27-34) deduced a linguistic relation model of a fuzzy closed loop control system from the linguistic models of the fuzzy controller and the controlled process and discussed the linguistic stability of fuzzy closed loop system by a linguistic relation matrix. In this paper, we study more on their models. Indeed, we prove the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium state $X_e$ in which fuzzy system is stable and give closed form of $X_e$. The same examples in Chen and Chen and Gang and Chen are treated to analyze the stability of fuzzy control systems.

Solar array simulator (SAS) is essential equipment in testing and evaluating the power processing performance of a power conditioning system. However, the nonlinearity in the current(I)-voltage(V) characteristic makes the control loop design of SAS a challenging task. Conventionally, only the inner loop is usually considered in the control design approach. However, this study proves that the reference generation loop also interacts with the inner loop and plays a key role in the overall performance of the SAS. In this paper, the performance of voltage-mode control and impedance control, which are two of the most popular architectures for the SAS system, are reviewed and compared by multi-loop analysis.

In the pole assignment strategy, the closed loop poles are placed at prespecified locations. The amount of control effort required is to some extent proportional to the distance of the proposed closed loop locations of the poles from their open loop locations. The poor choice of closed loop locations may result in Large control effort and it may nuke the system unstable. To overcome this problem, pole shift control strategy is described in this paper. The validity of the proposed control strategy is assured through some simulations.
