Design and evaluation of an observer-based disturbance rejection controller for electric power steering systems
(SAGE, 2015-08-13)The goal of this paper is to develop an observer-based disturbance rejection electric power steering (EPS) controller to provide steering assistance and improve the driver’s steering feel. For the purpose of control design, ... -
Electric field sensing near the surface microstructure of an atom chip using cold Rydberg atoms
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-27)This thesis reports experimental observations of electric fields using Rydberg atoms, including dc field measurements near the surface of an atom chip, and demonstration of measurement techniques for ac fields far from ... -
Exploring the Association between Proximity to Industrial Wind Turbines and Self-Reported Health Outcomes in Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-20)Background: Wind turbines are a form of renewable energy, which generate electricity from wind energy, a practice dating back over 100 years. More recently, large-scale wind energy developments have started to employ one ... -
A Model for Self-Phase Modulation Noise in Fiber-link Communication Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)Recent tele-communication hugely relies on fiber-optic systems. Linear fiber-optic impairments can be modeled with chromatic and polarization-mode dispersion. However, nonlinear impairments such as SPM and XPM noise are much ... -
Phase-Locked Loop Stability Based on Stochastic Bounds
(Springer, 2015-08-11)In this paper we study the stability of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in the presence of noise. We represent the noise as Brownian motion and model the circuit as a nonlinear stochastic differential equation, with the noise ...
