The proposed applies the following methods to detect classify PQ disturbances: Digital filtering mathematical morphology are used transients waveform distortions, whereas short- long-duration disturbances (such as sags, swells, interruptions), analysis root-mean-square (RMS) value is...
The estimation of the parameters defects from eddy current nondestructive testing data is an important tool to evaluate structural integrity critical metallic parts. In recent years, several works have reported use artificial neural networks (ANNs) deal with complex relation between and defect properties. To extract relevant features used by ANN, principal component analysis, wavelet decomposition, discrete Fourier transform been proposed. this paper, a method estimate dimensional reported....

The works domain and based on best fitting a theoretical spectrum signal that windowed using rectangular window sampled signal. Using iterative process, compensates leakage caused by incoherent sampling finite number samples. Due to compensation, provides accurate estimates signal's frequency,...
A new generation of multipurpose measurement equipment is transforming the role computers in instrumentation. The features involve mixed devices, such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters digital signal processing techniques, that are able to substitute typical discrete instruments like multimeters analyzers. Signal-processing applications frequently use least-squares (LS) sine-fitting algorithms. Periodic signals may be interpreted a sum sine waves with multiple...
Due to the dispersion mismatch between two supermodes of a two-channel coupler, pulse switching cannot be analyzed without taking into account effect intermodal dispersion. Using full numerical simulations, we show influence on all-optical with ultrashort pulses in twin-core fiber couplers. For nonlinear regime, however, only subpicosecond and femtosecond are affected cross state since parallel remains almost unaffected.
The integral nonlinearity (INL) of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be described by a behavioral error model expressed as one-dimensional image in the code domain.
