Designing a Generic, Software-Defined Multimode Radar Simulator For FPGAs Using Simulink HDL Coder and Speedgoat Real-Time Hardware

Designing a Generic, Software-Defined Multimode Radar Simulator For FPGAs Using Simulink HDL Coder and Speedgoat Real-Time Hardware

This publication focuses on the implementation and testing of a fully-parameterized radar signal processing prototype. A Speedgoat Performance machine with two Simulink-Programmable FPGA I/O modules IO342 are used for the implementation of a radar signal processing design containing several common waveforms and tunable parameters and a radar scene generator for delay, doppler, and amplitude measurement.This setup helped increase the simulation fidelity while reducing the time to test.

A Self-Tuning Robust Control System for Nonlinear Simulation

A Self-Tuning Robust Control System for Nonlinear Simulation

A transfer system is used to enforce the interface interaction between computational and physical substructures in a real-time hybrid simulation. A model-based, multilayer nonlinear control system is developed to accommodate extensive performance variations and uncertainties in a physical substructure. This work aims to extend the application of real-time simulation to investigating failure, nonlinearity, and nonstationary behavior.

Validation of a Servo-Hydraulic Model Coupled with a Nonlinear System

In the study, a controllable canonical physics-based model of a servo-hydraulic actuator coupled with a nonlinear physical system form is validated for position tracking control purposes. This is done by designing and fabricating a nonlinear device to exhibit various nonlinear force-displacement profiles depending on the initial condition and the type of materials used as replaceable coupons.

Real-Time Force Control for a Servo-Hydraulic Actuator Systems

Servo-hydraulic actuators have been widely used but existing control algorithms face some issues. This paper introduces a new real-time force control method utilizing the adaptive time series (ATS) compensator and compliance springs. Unlike existing approaches, the proposed force control methods do not require the structural modeling of a test structure, making it easy to be implemented primarily for nonlinear systems.
