1. Zamanian, Fatemeh. Nonlinear Controller Design for Regulating Systems.

Degree: PhD, Mechanical Engineering, University of Houston

Presented in this dissertation is a nonlinear controller synthesis methodology based on the inverse Sinusoidal Input Describing Function (SIDF) for a class of regulating systems. The design goal is to improve regulating performance beyond what is achievable by a linear control for a predicted level of disturbance step size. The controller design is executed using open loop frequency domain information and is applicable when the frequency response of a linear design cannot satisfy the designed open loop gain and phase characteristics. The gain and phase differences between the designed open loop frequency response and that of a linear design is treated as SIDF distortions. The inverse describing function approach is employed to identify an isolated explicit nonlinearity that is associated with obtained gain and phase distortions. For this, a computational solution to the inverse SIDF for a broad class of hysteresis or memoryless explicit nonlinearities is developed. The proposed numerical solution uses gain and phase distortions as a function of input amplitude size to identify the nonlinearity, and does not require a priori knowledge of the nonlinearity in the estimation process. The output from the algorithm is a non-parametric model of the nonlinearity from which a parametric model can be recovered. To illustrate the proposed nonlinear controller design technique, the idle speed control of a V-6 fuel injected engine model subject to an external torque load disturbance is considered. The closed loop performance is validated through simulation and the closed loop stability in the sense of the bounded-input-bounded-output (BIBO) is assessed using Circle Theorem.

An energy-efficient, 3.5 GHz, direct-conversion RF transmitter with integrated 23 dBm, Class-B power amplifier (PA) is fabricated in a 0.13 μm CMOS process. The TX chip is packaged using a low-cost chip-on-board (COB) technique. When 20-MHz bandwidth OFDM signals are transmitted, a high TX average power efficiency is achieved exploiting the dynamic current biasing of the Class-B PA and a low-loss output matching network using high-Q bondwire inductances in the package. Assisted by an integrated feedback path, a two-dimensional, digital look-up table (2-D LUT) adapted by complex gradient-descent algorithms compensates the I/Q mismatch and memoryless nonlinearities of the whole transmit path, including the severe amplitude and phase distortions of the on-chip PA. Fifth-order Butterworth transmit filters with 34 MHz cutoff frequency sufficiently attenuate the aliases of the 80 MS/s digital-to-analog converters (DACs), while retaining high in-band fidelity without corrupting the predistorted signal. When a 20 MHz, 64-QAM OFDM signal with 9.6 dB peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) was transmitted, the measured average drain efficiency (DE) of the PA was 12.5% at 9.6 dB back-off and 17.5% at 7 dB back-off, and the corresponding error-vector magnitude (EVM) was measured −29.6 dB and −26.3 dB with equalization, respectively. Peak DE of 55% and 25 dBm saturated output power were also measured for the same PA in a stand-alone package.
