"ISAR Image Reconstruction Technique with Stepped Frequency Moducation and Multiple Receivers"Prof. Andon LazarovBurgas Free UniversityBulgariaAbstract:A new three-dimensional (3-D) model of deterministic components of ISAR trajectory signals with stepped frequency modulation is suggested. 3-D ISAR geometry is described by means of analytical geometry. The geometry and kinematics of the object and ISAR observation system are described in separate 3-D Cartesian coordinate system. The object space, moving rectilinearly, is presented as a 3-D regular grid of isotropic point scatterers. The analytical expressions for computing the range distance to point scatterers of the object space are derived. The complex ISAR signal, reflected from the 3-D target is obtained by four receivers, placed on the axes and origin of the coordinate system of observation. Four 2-D ISAR signals, registered by receivers appear to be four 2-D projections of the 3-D ISAR signal. The 3-D image is considered as a set of 2-D images retrieved from the 2-D ISAR signal projections. The image reconstruction procedure includes both range and azimuth compression. Fast Fourier transforms are applied to each 2-D ISAR signal projection to realize range compression and discrete Joint time-frequency transform for azimuth compression. An autofocusing technique is applied to each received ISAR signal projection. To illustrate the capability of the 3-D ISAR signal mode, numerical experiment were caried out.Bio:ANDON DIMITROV LAZAROV received his M.S. degree in 1972 from the Electrotechnical State University-Saint Petersburg, Russia, in electronical engineering, his PhD degree in 1978 from Minsk Air-Defence Military Academy, Belarus and the D.Sc. (Doctor of Science) degree in 1998 from the Artillery and Air Defence University in Bulgaria. In 1984, he became an Associate Professor, and from 2000 until 2002 a Professor at the Air Defence Department of the Artillery and Air-Defence University in Shoumen, Bulgaria. In 2002, he became a Professor at Burgas Free University. His interests are in the field of Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) technology: ISAR modelling, signal processing and image reconstruction techniques as spectral, spatial correlation, recurrent and iterative LMSE methods and auto-focusing procedures. He has authored above 150 research and conference papers. He is a member of the IEEE, the AES Society and CS of USA, and a member of Trans Black Sea Region Union of Applied Electromagnetism of Greece, and a member of the Union of Bulgarian Scientists.Host: Prof. Melvin Breuer, Ext. 04469Location: Hughes Aircraft Electrical Engineering Center (EEB) - -248

FUZZY PI / PD CONTROLLERS: MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND ANALYSIS

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
B.M. Mohan
Dept. of Electrical Engineering
Indian Institute of TechnologyAbstract:Input-output relationships of linear PI / PD / PID controllers are well known to the control community. In this seminar, input-output relationships of some fuzzy two-term (PI or PD) controllers, their classification, their properties, and their suitability (or unsuitability) for control application will be addressed. As a matter of fact, input-output relationship of a fuzzy two-term controller is not unique as it depends on contributing factors like nature of fuzzy sets, nature of control rules, type of fuzzy AND and OR operators, type of inference method, and type of defuzzification method. So, depending on the nature of contributing factors, different fuzzy two-term controllers are possible. It is very important to note that not all these fuzzy controllers are suitable for control. In order to decide about their suitability for control application, these controllers are analyzed and their characteristic behaviors are studied.Bio:B. M. Mohan was born in Tapeswaram, India in 1960. He received the Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Osmania University in 1982, the Masters degree in Electrical Engineering (with Control Systems specialization) from Andhra University in 1985, and the Doctoral degree in Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, 1989. From July 1989 to October 1990 he was on the faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, Regional Engineering College (now called National Institute of Technology), Tiruchirapalli. Since November 1990 he has been on the faculty of Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering – Systems, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California. His research interests include Identification, Analysis, and Control of Dynamical Systems using Fuzzy Logic and Orthogonal Functions approaches. He co-authored the research monograph 'Orthogonal Functions in Systems and Control (World Scientific, Singapore, 1995),' and several papers in international journals and conferences. He is a life member of Systems Society of India, senior member of the IEEE, and life fellow of Institution of Engineers (India). He is the Associate Editor of Int. J. Automation & Control (IJAAC). He is the reviewer for Computing Reviews. He was the Chairman of Control Systems Chapter, IEEE Kharagpur Section.Host: Prof. Petros Ioannou, Ext. 04452 http://engineering.usc.edu/calendar/
