Abstract-A diagnostic system being designed to measure the beam phase and energy of the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) in the Proton Accelerator of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is described and the characterization of the prototype is presented. The signals received from Fast Current Transformers (FCTs) are Radio Frequency (RF) signals with the frequency up to 350 MHz and a dynamic range of -...

A novel low-cost impedance control structure is proposed for monitoring the contact force between end-effector and environment without installing an expensive force/torque sensor. Theoretically, the end-effector contact force can be estimated from the superposition of each joint control torque. There have a nonlinear matrix mapping function between each joint motor control input and end-effecto...

We present a mapping of the well known Nagel-Schreckenberg algorithm for traffic simulation onto the Global Cellular Automata (GCA) model using agents. The GCA model consists of a collection of cells which change their states synchronously depending on the states of their neighbors like in the classical CA (Cellular Automata) model. In contrast to the CA model the neighbors can be freely and dy...

This paper presents an efficient FPGA-based architecture of CFAR target detector for radar system based on the automatic censored cell averaging (ACCA) detector based on ordered data variability (ODV). The ACCA–ODV detector estimates the unknown background level by dynamically selecting a suitable set of ranked cells and applying successive hypothesis tests. The proposed detector does not requi...

It is well known that robotic manipulators are highly nonlinear coupling dynamic systems. It is difficult to establish an appropriate mathematical model for designing a model-based controller. The model-free feature of fuzzy logic control strategy was employed to design robotic motion controller. However, there is no guide rule for designing the fuzzy rule bank and parameters, it still needs ti...

Software defined Radio platform developed so far are designed for particular application. Current reconfigurable computing technology allows designers to implement complete embedded computing systems on a single FPGA. This paper concentrates on designing a reconfigurable platform which consists of reconfigurable coprocessors that can be used in various applications. The architecture that we hav...

: The Altera Cyclone family of FPGA provides the ability to perform run time reconfiguration which is known as Dynamic Reconfiguration. Current technology allows designers to implement complete embedded computing systems on a single FPGA. Using an FPGA as the implementation platform introduces greater flexibility into the design process and allows a new approach to embedded system design. Since...

Multimedia applications are demanding features for many digital systems including portable devices. Multimedia extension can be incorporated into a general-purpose processor's instruction set architecture to speed up the execution of multimedia applications. Two multimedia compression standards namely Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) are chosen to...
