In this paper, two simple digital signal processor (DSP)-based motor fault signature detection techniques are presented. First, the reference frame theory and its applications to fault diagnosis of electric machinery are introduced. Second, phase sensitive detection (PSD) of motor fault signatures is presented. Both techniques provide very simple and robust way to find the magnitude and phase of the specified fault signatures in the line current. Particularly, PSD has a powerful line current noise suppression capability while detecting the fault signatures. Various faults are experimentally tested both offline using the data acquisition system, and online employing the TMS320F2812 DSP to prove the efficacy of the proposed tools. The advantages of these methods include the following: (1) no need to employ external hardware or a PC running a high level program; (2) provides instantaneous fault monitoring using a DSP controller in real time; (3) embedded into the motor drive; thus, readily available drive sensors and the core processor are used without employing additional hardware; (4) no need to store machine currents data, and thus no need for large memory size; (5) very short convergence time capability; (6) immune to non-idealities like sensor dc offsets, imbalance, etc.; (7) no need for a notch filter to filter out the fundamental harmonic; (8) steady state or stationary current signal assumptions are not necessary; (9) a familiar concept for motor control engineers; and (10) applicable to all multi-phase and single phase motors.

Phase-sensitive detection of motor fault signatures in the presence of noise
Akin, Bilal; Orguner, Umut; Toliyat, Hamid A.; Rayner, Mark (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-06-01)
In this paper, a digital signal processor-based phase-sensitive motor fault signature detection technique is presented. The implemented method has a powerful line current noise suppression capability while detecting the fault signatures. Because the line current of inverter-driven motors involve low-order harmonies, high-frequency switching disturbances, and the noise generated by harsh industrial environment, the real-time fault analyses yield erroneous or fluctuating fault signatures. This situation becom...

PWM inverter harmonics contributions to the inverter-fed induction machine bearing fault diagnosis
Akin, Bilal; Toliyat, Hamid A.; Orguner, Umut; Rayner, Mark (2007-03-01)
The effects of inverter harmonics on motor current fault signatures are studied in detail in this paper. According to theory and experimentation, the fault signatures caused by the inverter harmonics are similar and comparable to those generated by the fundamental harmonic of the line current. Unlike the utility-driven motor, monitoring the current of the inverter-fed motor is considerably noisy, which can mask the fault signatures and render a wrong fault warning. Therefore, the proposed additional fault d...

This thesis presents the theory, design, fabrication, and measurement results of novel reconfigurable impedance tuner, phase shifter, and vector modulators using the RF MEMS technology. The presented circuits are based on triple stub topology, and it is shown both theoretically and experimentally in this thesis that it is possible to control the insertion phase and amplitude of the input signal simultaneously using this topology. The presented circuits are implemented using an in-house, surface micromachini...
Computational Demonstration of Multiband Nanoantennas for Power Enhancement
Gür, Uğur Meriç; Ustun, Emre; Eroglu, Omer; Dikmen, Fatih; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-07-14)
We present multiband nanoantennas that can provide large enhancement factors at multiple frequencies in the optical spectrum. The structures are obtained by opening slits on the conventional bowtie designs. Since frequency/geometry scaling is not valid due to plasmonic properties of metals, two dimensional scans are performed using a rigorous solver based on surface integral equations and method of moments. The results demonstrate the feasibility of nanoantennas with multiband characteristics that can be us...
