High-precision radiometric calibration and synchronization compensation must be provided for distributed radar system due to separate transmitters and receivers. This paper proposes a transponder-aided joint radiometric calibration, motion compensation and synchronization for distributed radar remote sensing. As the transponder signal can be separated from the normal radar returns, it is used t...

Access to computing resources, specifically highperformance parallel systems, is still a fundamental barrier to providing the necessary learning environment for many students in the Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) courses. Many top-ranked universities may have ample computing facilities for both research and education, however, other programs are not able to provide competitive infrast...

This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...

This work deals with the longitudinal comfort issue of a plug-in hybrid vehicle and in particular with the control of driveline oscillations caused by gear shifts. The rear drive torque generated by a motor is used to compensate the effect of clutch opening and closing. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) method is used to approximate the nonlinear longitudinal dynamics model. Simulations using a detailed vehic...

Let’s HPC (www.letshpc.org) is an open-access online platform to supplement conventional classroom oriented High Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel & Distributed Computing (PDC) education. The web based platform provides online plotting and analysis tools which allow users to learn, evaluate, teach and see the performance of parallel algorithms from a system’s viewpoint. The user can quan...
