Robust Design of SAW Gas Sensors by Taguchi Dynamic Method

Robust Design of SAW Gas Sensors by Taguchi Dynamic Method

This paper adopts Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio analysis to optimize the dynamic characteristics of a SAW gas sensor system whose output response is linearly related to the input signal. The goal of the present dynamic characteristics study is to increase the sensitivity of the measurement system while simultaneously reducing its variability. A time- and cost-efficient finite element analysis...

Robust Design and Taguchi Method Application

A Robust Design of MMIC using Taguchi Method

In this paper, we demonstrate a robust design of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) using Taguchi Method. In accordance with Taguchi Method, noise factors, which are uncontrollable sources of variation, and control factors, which are available to control both the deviations and the mean-values by circuit designers were assigned to an orthogonal array. We simulated radio frequency (...

PID robust control using Taguchi Method

The control of FOPD (first order plus delay) systems with high normalized time (ratio of time delay and time constant) is a very hard task, especially when the system parameters are subjected to variations. A great number of physical systems show such model behavior. In process control today, proportional integral derivative (PID) (continuous and digital) controllers still predominate and are s...

Robust Design: An introduction to Taguchi Methods

The theoretical foundations of Taguchi Methods were laid out by Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese engineer who began working for the telecommunications company, ECL (Electrical Communications Lab, a part of NT&T), in 1950’s. After World War II, his team was involved in the design of telephone system components, and successfully produced designs that performed better than their main rivals, Bell Labs,...
