Application of FMICW technology based on stagger algorithm in automotive radar by Yuanhui ZHANG, Jian YANG, Junjiang ZHU, Xiaolu LI, Yuchen HE

“…The problem of spurious spectral peaks produced by the traditional method of using a single switching frequency in automotive FMICW radar was focused by the proposed scheme.The system accuracy depended on the previously estimated range if a bandpass filter was utilized to eliminate the spurious spectral peaks,and the noise floor could be too high to achieve the required dynamic detection range if the random interrupted sequence method was utilized.A stagger algorithm based on multiple switching frequencies was used,in which the spurious peaks from the frequency domain could be removed by minimizing each frequency position on multiple spectrums.Simulation results show that the proposed method is close to the equivalent FMCW radar detection performance,and is good in multiple targets scenario.…”

Surface sliding mode controller for chaotic oscillation in power system with power disturbance by Fuhong MIN, Hanyuan MA, Yaoda WANG

“…With the rapid development of the power industry,the possibility of chaotic oscillation increases in the power system,and the importance of maintaining the stability of the power system is prominent.Through a fourth-order power system model with power perturbation term built,the Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagram and spectral entropy were analyzed,respectively.The influence of power disturbance terms on power system motion was discussed in detail.Moreover,a dynamic surface sliding mode controller was designed based on the switching function with relay characteristics.Simulation results show that the controller can suppress the chaotic oscillation quickly and smoothly,and effectively avoid chattering and own strong robustness.…”

Low-complexity ATPM-VSIMM algorithm with adaptive model parameters by Hao ZENG, Wangqiang MU, Yang JIANG, Shunping YANG

“…Aiming at the problem that for maneuvering target tracking, the accuracy of tracking degraded in interacting multiple model algorithms due to the fixed model sets and the fixed transition probability matrix, a low-complexity ATPM-VSIMM algorithm was proposed, which could update the model parameters adaptively.The maneuvering situation of the target was judged according to the innovation changes of the system, and the state noise of the model sets was adjusted to realize the adaptive update of the model sets.Then, the more accurate transition probability matrix was computed through the change of the model posterior probability and the inter-model switching relationship.Therefore, the matching degree between the system motion model and the target motion trajectory was improved.Finally, the high filtering accuracy and the fast response speed of the tracking system were guaranteed.The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified through three aspects that are the initial value of the model posterior probability, the initial value of the transition probability matrix, and the state noise.Simulation results demonstrate that the filtering accuracy of the ATPM-VSIMM algorithm is improved about 8% compared with the existing algorithms.…”
