Reverberation Chamber Modeling Using Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

Petit, Frédéric 12 1900 (has links)
Since the last few years, the unprecedented growth of communication systems involving the propagation of electromagnetic waves is particularly due to developments in mobile phone technology. The reverberation chamber is a reliable bench-test, enabling the study of the effects of electromagnetic waves on a specific electronic appliance. However, the operating of a reverberation chamber being rather complicated, development of numerical models are of utmost importance to determine the crucial parameters to be considered.This thesis consists in the modelling and the simulation of the operating principles of a reverberation chamber by means of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method. After a brief study based on field and power measurements performed in a reverberation chamber, the second chapter deals with the different problems encountered during the modelling. The consideration of losses being a very important factor in the operating of the chamber, two methods of implementation of these losses are set out in this chapter. Chapter~3 consists in the analysis of the influence of the stirrer on the first eigenmodes of the chamber; the latter modes can undergo a frequency shift of several MHz. Chapter~4 shows a comparison of results issued from high frequency simulations and theoretical statistical results. The problem of an object placed in the chamber, resulting in a field disturbance is also tackled. Finally, in the fifth chapter, a comparison of statistical results for stirrers having different shapes is set out.

Détection, localisation et estimation de défauts : application véhicule / Fault detection, isolation and estimation : Application to vehicle dynamics

Farhat, Ahmad 22 September 2016 (has links)
Dans la nécessité de développer des véhicules sûrs, confortables, économiques et à faible impact environnemental, les voitures sont de plus en plus équipées d'organes qui emploient des capteurs, actionneurs et systèmes de commande automatiques.Or ces systèmes, critiques pour la sécurité et le confort des passagers, peuvent mal-fonctionner en présence d'une défaillance (défaut).Dans le cadre du diagnostic à bord, plusieurs approches à base de modèle sont développées dans ce travail afin de détecter, localiser et estimer un défaut capteur ou actionneur, et pour détecter la perte de stabilité du véhicule.Ces méthodes reposent sur une synthèse robuste pour les systèmes incertains à commutation.Elles sont validées en simulation avec le logiciel CarSim, et sur les données réelles de véhicule dans le cadre du projet INOVE. / Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with new mechanisms to improve safety, comfort and ecological impact. These active systems employ sensors, actuators and automatic control systems. However, in case of failure of one these components, the consequences for the vehicle and the passengers safety could be dramatic. In order to ensure a higher level of reliability within on board diagnosis, new methodologies for sensor or actuator fault detection, location and estimation are proposed. These model based approaches are extended for robust synthesis for switched uncertain systems. In addition, a method for detecting critical stability situation is presented. The validation of the different methods is illustrated with simulations using CarSim, and application on real vehicle data within the INOVE project.

Dimensionnement et réalisation d'un rotateur de polarisation à évolution de mode en optique intégrée sur verre / Design and realization of a mode evolution polarization rotator made by glass integrated optics technology

Jordan, Elodie 29 November 2016 (has links)
La création du premier laser en 1960 puis l’envol des télécommunications par fibres optique a généré le développement des circuits optiques intégrés. Ces derniers sont des solutions efficaces aux problèmes d’encombrement et d’instabilité. Un contrôle accru des signaux passe cependant par l’exploitation de la polarisation qui permet notamment d’augmenter les débits, de fiabiliser les signaux et de protéger les sources par une isolation optique. Cette dernière application fait partie d’un vaste projet mené par l’IMEP-LAHC en collaboration avec le laboratoire Hubert Curien de Saint-Etienne. L’isolateur sur verre comprend l’intégration d’un séparateur de polarisation, d’un rotateur Faraday et d’un rotateur réciproque de polarisation à 45°. L’objectif de ces travaux «était de démontrer la faisabilité de la dernière fonction. La réalisation s’est basée sur l’exploitation d’échanges d’ions assistés par un champ électrique (EAC). Une première étape a consisté à maîtriser les effets de bords inhérents aux EAC, afin de modeler le cœur d’un guide d’onde et incliner les axes neutres de polarisation. Ceci a été obtenu en cascadant deux EAC, le premier créant un guide d’indice de réfraction uniforme, le deuxième modelant son cœur. Le contrôle de la position des axes neutres a ainsi été démontrée pour la première fois dans cette technologie puisqu’une inclinaison à (46,6 ± 0,1)° en entrée et (42,3 ± 0,1)° en sortie a été mesurée. L’étude numérique du procédé de fabrication du rotateur réciproque a également été effectuée et l’adiabaticité du composant a été validé analytiquement. Une première réalisation a mis en évidence un problème de pertes élevées liées au dégazage des sels d’échange. Des pistes d’optimisation sont donc avancées. Une suggestion d’amélioration du rotateur Faraday est également présentée. Elle exploite les progrès obtenus sur les EAC et démontre la faisabilité de guides d’ondes à biréfringence négative. Finalement un procédé de fabrication de l’isolateur complet, compatible avec le budget thermique, est proposé. / The fabrication of the first laser in 1960 and the growth of fiber optics telecommunications have led to the development of integrated optics circuits. Theses lasts are efficient solutions to compacity and misalignment problems. Moreover, polarization management in integrated circuits enables to increase the data rate, to guaranty the signals reliability or to protect optical sources. The work presented here is dedicated to this last application, which is the motive of a long-term collaboration between IMEP-LAHC and the Hubert Curien institute in Saint-Etienne. Indeed, we proposed to fabricate a 45° reciprocal polarization rotator that is part of the optical isolator’s design, along with a polarization splitter and a Faraday rotator. We choose to use a field-assisted ion-exchange technique (FAIE). The implementation of the polarization rotator requires managing the side effects of the electrical field lines occurring during a FAIE. It allows controlling the waveguide core’s shape and thus the eigen axes tilt. It was obtained thanks to two cascaded FAIE. The first one, an Ag+/Na+ ion exchange, creates a high refractive index waveguide while the second one, a Na+/Na+ ion exchange, modifies the shape of the waveguide’s core. Measurements of the experimental polarization behavior are a first proof of a controlled tilt of eigen axes in this technology. Indeed, the waveguide exhibits a tilt of its eigen axes of (46.6 ± 0.1)° at the input and (42.3 ± 0.1)° at the output.The numerical study of the reciprocal rotator’s process has also been proposed and the adiabaticity of the design analytically validated. The first realization highlights high propagation losses that can linked to the degassing of the nitrate salts occurring during the FAIE. Possible improvements are thus suggested in the document.An enhancement of the Faraday rotator’s design is also proposed. It is obtained thanks to the fabrication of a waveguide exhibiting a negative birefringence whose design exploits the progress achieved in term of FAIE control. Eventually, a complete fabrication of the integrated isolator is proposed, taking into account the thermal budget of the various processes.

Diffraction résonnante des rayons X dans des systèmes multiferroïques / X-ray resonant scatering on multiferroic systems

Elzo Aizarna, Marta Ainhoa 28 September 2012 (has links)
Le but de cette thèse est d'explorer la faisabilité d'expériences de diffraction résonante sur des systèmes multiferroïques et en particulier avec un champ/courrant électrique appliqué. Un formalisme de matrices de propagation a été développé pour simuler la réflectivité résonante, en utilisant un ensemble d'ondes propres comme base arithmétique pour le calcul. Des expériences de diffraction résonante ont été menées sur trois oxides de métaux de transition. Cette technique combinant la selectivité chimique et la sensibité à l'espace réciproque, elle a été utilisée sur des films très minces de PbTiO3 pour étudier la structure atomique d'un agencement périodique de domaines ferroélectriques. La signatures spectroscopiques observées par nos expériences de diffraction X durs sont reproduites par des simulations ab-initio FDMNES de super-cellules complexes. Dans le domaine X mous, nous avons étudié la structure antiferromagnétique cycloïdale du multiferroïque BiFeO3, et plus spécialement l'empreinte de la cycloïde sur une couche mince de Co déposée sur le matériau multiferroïque. Nous présentons également une expérience dans laquelle nous avons tenté d'explorer l'effet d'un courant électrique appliqué sur un film mince du composé à ordre de charge Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3. La dernière partie est consacrée à l'instrumentation. Nous passons en revue les lignes synchrotron européennes et les diffractomètres qui permettent de faire des expériences de diffraction résonante de rayons X. Pour finir, nous détaillons un nouveau porte-échantillon que nous avons développé et testé sur le diffractomètre RESOXS, et qui permet d'appliquer un champ/courant électrique. / The aim of this thesis is to explore the capabilities offered by resonant X-ray scattering for the study of multiferroic systems with a special emphasis on the feasibility of such experiments under applied electric field/current. Boundary propagation matrices formalism has been developed for the simulation of resonant reflectivity, using a set of eigenwaves as a basis for the computation. Resonant X-ray experiments were performed on three transition metal oxides. This technique combines chemical selectivity and reciprocal space information, and was used on very thin films of PbTiO3 to solve the atomic structure of a periodic pattern of ferroelectric domains. The spectroscopic signatures observed in our hard X-ray experiments are well reproduced with FDMNES ab-initio simulations of complex super cells. In the soft X-ray range, we studied the cycloidal antiferromagnetic structure of multiferroic BiFeO3 and especially the imprint of the cycloid on a 10 nm-thin layer of Co deposited on top of the multiferroic bulk material. We also present an experiment in which we tried to explore the effect of an electrical current applied on a thin film of charge-ordered Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3. Last part is dedicated to instrumentation. We summarize the state of the art of european synchrotron beamlines and diffractometers which can host resonant X-ray diffraction experiments. Finally, we detail a new sample holder that we developed and tested in the high-vacuum diffractometer RESOXS, which allows for the application of an electric field/current.

Fondements mathématiques et numériques de la méthode des pseudo-potentiels / Mathematical fondations and numerical method of pseudo-potential

Mourad, Nahia 28 August 2015 (has links)
Les contributions de cette thèse consistent en trois principaux résultats. Le premier résultat concerne la théorie des perturbations analytique pour les modèles de type Kohn-Sham. Nous montrons, sous certaines conditions techniques, l'existence, l'unicité et l'analyticité de la matrice densité de l'état fondamental du modèle de Hartree-Fock réduit pour des perturbations régulières provenant d'un potentiel extérieur. Notre analyse englobe le cas où le niveau de Fermi de l'état fondamental non-perturbé est une valeur propre dégénérée de l'opérateur de champ moyen et où les orbitales frontières sont partiellement occupées. Le deuxième résultat concerne la construction mathématique de pseudos potentiels pour les modèles Kohn-Sham. Nous définissons l'ensemble des pseudos potentiels semi-locaux à normes conservées de régularité de Sobolev donnée, et nous prouvons que cet ensemble est non-vide et fermé pour une topologie appropriée. Cela nous permet de proposer une nouvelle façon de construire des pseudos potentiels, qui consiste à optimiser sur cet ensemble un critère tenant compte des impératifs de régularité et de transférabilité. Le troisième résultat est une étude numérique du modèle de Hartree-Fock réduit pour les atomes. Nous proposons une méthode de discrétisation et un algorithme de résolution numérique des équations de Kohn-Sham pour un atome soumis à un potentiel extérieur à symétrie cylindrique. Nous calculons les niveaux d'énergie occupés et les nombres d'occupations pour tous les éléments des quatre premières rangées du tableau périodique et considérons le cas d'un atome soumis à un champ électrique uniforme / The contributions of this thesis consist of three main results. The first result is concerned with analytic perturbation theory for Kohn-Sham type models. We prove, under some technical conditions, the existence, uniqueness and analyticity of the perturbed reduced Hartree-Fock ground state density matrix for regular perturbations arising from an external potential. Our analysis encompasses the case when the Fermi level of the unperturbed ground state is a degenerate eigenvalue of the mean-field operator and the frontier orbitals are partially occupied. The second result is concerned with the mathematical construction of pseudo potentials for Kohn-Sham models. We define a set of admissible semi local norm-conserving pseudo potentials of given local Sobolev regularity and prove that this set is non-empty and closed for an appropriate topology. This allows us to propose a new way to construct pseudo potentials, which consists in optimizing on the latter set some criterion taking into account both smoothness and transferability requirements. The third result is a numerical study of the reduced Hartree-Fock model of atoms. We propose a discretization method and an algorithm to solve numerically the Kohn-Sham equations for an atom subjected to a cylindrically-symmetric external potential. We report the computed occupied energy levels and the occupation numbers for all the atoms of the four first rows of the periodic table and consider the case of an atom subjected to a uniform electric-field

Minimization of Noise and Vibration Related to Driveline Imbalance using Robust Design Processes

Al-Shubailat, Omar 17 August 2013 (has links)
Variation in vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) response can be caused by variability in design (e.g. tolerance), material, manufacturing, or other sources of variation. Such variation in the vehicle response causes a higher percentage of produced vehicles to have higher levels (out of specifications) of NVH leading to higher number of warranty claims and loss of customer satisfaction, which are proven costly. Measures must be taken to ensure less warranty claims and higher levels of customer satisfactions. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have implemented design for variation in the design process to secure an acceptable (or within specification) response. The focus here will be on aspects of design variations that should be considered in the design process of drivelines. Variations due to imbalance in rotating components can be unavoidable or costly to control. Some of the major components in the vehicle that are known to have imbalance and traditionally cause NVH issues and concerns include the crankshaft, the drivetrain components (transmission, driveline, half shafts, etc.), and wheels. The purpose is to assess NVH as a result of driveline imbalance variations and develop a tool to help design a more robust system to such variations.

Performance analysis of spectrum sensing techniques for cognitive radio systems

Gismalla Yousif, Ebtihal January 2013 (has links)
Cognitive radio is a technology that aims to maximize the current usage of the licensed frequency spectrum. Cognitive radio aims to provide services for license-exempt users by making use of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) and opportunistic spectrum sharing strategies (OSS). Cognitive radios are defined as intelligent wireless devices capable of adapting their communication parameters in order to operate within underutilized bands while avoiding causing interference to licensed users. An underused band of frequencies in a specific location or time is known as a spectrum hole. Therefore, in order to locate spectrum holes, reliable spectrum sensing algorithms are crucial to facilitate the evolution of cognitive radio networks. Since a large and growing body of literature has mainly focused into the conventional time domain (TD) energy detector, throughout this thesis the problem of spectrum sensing is investigated within the context of a frequency domain (FD) approach. The purpose of this study is to investigate detection based on methods of nonparametric power spectrum estimation. The considered methods are the periodogram, Bartlett's method, Welch overlapped segments averaging (WOSA) and the Multitaper estimator (MTE). Another major motivation is that the MTE is strongly recommended for the application of cognitive radios. This study aims to derive the detector performance measures for each case. Another aim is to investigate and highlight the main differences between the TD and the FD approaches. The performance is addressed for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh channels and the general Rician and Nakagami fading channels. For each of the investigated detectors, the analytical models are obtained by studying the characteristics of the Hermitian quadratic form representation of the decision statistic and the matrix of the Hermitian form is identified. The results of the study have revealed the high accuracy of the derived mathematical models. Moreover, it is found that the TD detector differs from the FD detector in a number of aspects. One principal and generalized conclusion is that all the investigated FD methods provide a reduced probability of false alarm when compared with the TD detector. Also, for the case of periodogram, the probability of sensing errors is independent of the length of observations, whereas in time domain the probability of false alarm is increased when the sample size increases. The probability of false alarm is further reduced when diversity reception is employed. Furthermore, compared to the periodogram, both Bartlett method and Welch method provide better performance in terms of lower probability of false alarm but an increased probability of detection for a given probability of false alarm. Also, the performance of both Bartlett's method and WOSA is sensitive to the number of segments, whereas WOSA is also sensitive to the overlapping factor. Finally, the performance of the MTE is dependent on the number of employed discrete prolate spheroidal (Slepian) sequences, and the MTE outperforms the periodogram, Bartlett's method and WOSA, as it provides the minimal probability of false alarm.

Kmitání štíhlých mostních konstrukcí / Vibration of slender bridge structure

Kika, Ondřej Unknown Date (has links)
Doctoral thesis called Vibrations of slender bridge structures deals with comparison of constructions’ responses at different load model of pedestrians. Specifically, in practice commonly used model, where there are the effects of pedestrians replaced by forces acting in a certain place on the bridge and other model, which takes into account the load of pedestrians moving along the deck. Calculations of responses are performed by finite element method in program ANSYS. To obtain extreme values of responses It is used parametric calculation using the program OptiSlang. At first responses on the simplified constructions are evaluated for load of two pedestrians, as well as the responses on real bridges for load of two pedestrians and four pairs of pedestrians. Responses are also evaluated in terms of pedestrian’s comfort during use structures and analyzed for what groups of pedestrians are criteria still met and for which it is necessary to consider about use of devices to reduce vibration. Possible applications and design process of the vibration dampers are shown on different configurations on the bridges.
