This paper presents an analysis showing that it is possible to determine the factors that limit the stability of drive-mode oscillations of a vibratory MEMS gyroscope with precise modeling. Specifically, unwanted electrical resonance characteristics of the gyroscope drive-mode are analyzed together with analytical expressions, whereas the results of the theoretical analyses are verified both by simulations and measurements, which agree very well. It is demonstrated that the stability of the drive-mode oscillations significantly improves by using a compensation capacitor across resistive preamplifiers of drive-mode oscillator output when the oscillator is driven by square-wave input signal generated by conventional automatic gain control (AGC) loops. The model can be used to identify and eliminate other factors that limit the bias stability.

A statistical approach for performance evaluation of 386 and 486 microprocessors Akman, I (1996-02-01) This paper endeavors to show how multivariate statistical techniques may be used to assess the hardware performance of 386 and 486 based microcomputers. The benchmark test results collected from 34 microcomputers were analyzed in order to find the objective ''assessment criterion'' which could be used as part of the future certification process. The dominant hardware components for the price of these computers were also searched.
AN ELECTROMAGNETIC MICRO POWER GENERATOR FOR LOW FREQUENCY ENVIRONMENTAL VIBRATIONS BASED ON THE FREQUENCY UP-CONVERSION TECHNIQUE Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Tuna; Külah, Haluk (2009-01-29) This paper presents an electromagnetic (EM) vibration-to-electrical power generator, which can efficiently harvest energy from low-frequency external vibrations by using frequency up-conversion. The generator can effectively scavenge energy from low frequency environmental vibrations of 70-150 Hz and generates 0.57 mV voltage with 0.25 nW power from a single cantilever at a vibration frequency of 95 Hz. The fabricated generator size is 8.5 x 7 x 2.5 mm(3) and a total number of 20 serially connected cantilev...
A New Approach to Investigation of the Relationship of VLF Signals by Using Longitudinal Analysis Models Guzel, E.; Yaşar, M.; Kılıç, M. B.; Canyılmaz, M. (Hindawi Limited, 2013) Longitudinal analysis models are applied to analyze very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic waves signals. They are useful in realization of nuance of relationship between parameters of concern which change over time. VLF data are so important for the communication and determining the disturbances in the lower ionosphere. In this study, we used a four-day VLF signal data which come from transmitter stations located at two different countries to Elazi. g receiver system. A very important feature of this dat...
An online sequential algorithm for the estimation of transition probabilities forjump Markov linear systems Orguner, Umut (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01) This paper describes a new method to estimate the transition probabilities associated with a jump Markov linear system. The new algorithm uses stochastic approximation type recursions to minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the likelihood function of the transition probabilities and the true likelihood function. Since the calculation of the likelihood function of the transition probabilities is impossible, an incomplete data paradigm, which has been previously applied to a similar problem for hi...
Efficient parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm for the solution of large-scale scattering problems Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-08-01) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale scattering problems involving three-dimensional closed conductors with arbitrary shapes using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With an efficient parallelization of MLFMA, scattering problems that are discretized with tens of millions of unknowns are easily solved on a cluster of computers. We extensively investigate the parallelization of MLFMA, identify the bottlenecks, and provide remedial procedures to improve the efficiency of the imp...
