Modern control theory has recently been employed in the design of linear controllers[1], state estimators[2], and compensators[3; 4], in an attempt to devise control laws for reducing drag in turbulent wall flows. These approaches led to encouraging results, revealing the potential of linear control in targeting significant dynamics in wall turbulence[5]. All the aforementioned works, however, ...

This study performs analytical investigation of how accurately three existing phase shift models describe the phase shift impulse response of a simple planar oscillator. The investigation finds that Kaertner’s model perfectly describes the behavior of the phase shift impulse response, whereas the projection-based ISF, and the perturbation projection-based model oversimplify it to its initial, a...

The Impulse Response The sequence {ψj} of the filter’s coefficients constitutes its response, on the output side, to an input in the form of a unit impulse. If the sequence is finite, then ψ(z) is described as a moving-average filter or as a finite impulse-response (FIR) filter. When the filter produces an impulse response of an indefinite duration, it is called an infinite impulse-response (II...

A new time-domain model order reduction method based on the Laguerre function expansion of the impulse response is presented. The Laguerre coefficients of the impulse response of the reduced-order model, which is calculated using a projection whose matrices form basis of appropriate Krylov subspaces, match, up to a given order, those of the original system. In addition, it is shown that the obt...

Active diffuse loudspeaker arrays can be implemented by incorporating a distribution of small radiating elements each characterized by processes that embed a unique diffuse impulse response. The properties of synthetic diffuse impulses are investigated both individually and collectively and algorithmic generation techniques presented. The diffuse properties of such synthetic arrays are confirme...

A time domain approach for predicting the coupled flutter and buffeting response of long span bridges is presented. The frequency dependent unsteady aerodynamic forces are represented by the convolution integrals involving the aerodynamic impulse function and structural motions or wind fluctuations. The aerodynamic impulse functions are derived from experimentally measured flutter derivatives, ...

Digital Filter is an important part of digital signal processing (DSP) system and it usually comes in two categories: finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR). FIR filter is an attractive choice because of the ease in design and stability. By designing the filter taps to be symmetrical about the centre tap position, a FIR filter can be guaranteed to have linear phase. L...

Abstract: This paper proposes a network architecture to compute on-line the temporal crosscorrelation function between two signals, either stationary or locally stationary. We show that the weights of a multi-FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter trained with a teacher forcing anti-Hebbian rule encode the crosscorrelation function between the input and the desired response. We extend this networ...

Recent experimental evidences have shown that because of a fast convergence and a nice accuracy, neural networks training via extended kalman filter (EKF) method is widely applied. However, as to an uncertainty of the system dynamics or modeling error, the performance of the method is unreliable. In order to overcome this problem in this paper, a new finite impulse response (FIR) filter based l...

In order to make realistic simulations of the radio propagation mechanism in ultra-wide band channels, an appropriate model is usually needed. In this paper we give a new technique of modeling the impulse response of the 60 Ghz channel. This new approach is based on the spectral analysis of α-stable processes. Our new model present many advantages : firstly, the channel is characterized only by...
