Barrel side and pulsed power supply module are two crucial parts of an electromagnetic launcher (EML), which affects the efficiency. One of the most important features in the barrel side is the shape of the armature. In this study, the shape of the armature is optimized by using independent variables to define the exact geometry of the armature. The main goal is to maximize the muzzle kinetic energy of the projectile. Armature geometry is divided into pieces which are used in the optimization algorithm as independent variables. Finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the fitness function of the genetic algorithm (GA).

Armature Shape Optimization of an Electromagnetic Launcher Including Contact Resistance
Ceylan, Doga; Gudelek, Mehmet Ugur; Keysan, Ozan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10-01)
Barrel and pulsed power supply modules are two crucial parts of an electromagnetic launcher (EML), in terms of overall efficiency. One of the most important features of the barrel side is the armature geometry. In this paper, the shape of the armature of an EML with 10-MJ current pulse generator, 1000-kA peak current, and 4.5-ms excitation time is optimized by using independent variables to define the exact geometry of the armature. The main goal is to maximize the muzzle kinetic energy of the projectile wi...
High data rate X-band transmitter for low Earth orbit satellites
Sunay, Hacer K.; Ismailoglu, Neslin; Kirilmaz, Tunahan; Dudak, Celal; Sen, Ozlem A. (2007-04-26)
Main purpose of this study is to design a transmitter with data rates up to 100 Mbps, having QPSK/OQPSK modulation and 7 W (38.5 dBm) output power at 8.2 GHz. This output power satisfies the link budget for a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite at 700 km, utilizing required source-channel coding schemes in baseband for a BER performance of 10(-6). The modulation scheme of the transmitter can be selected as BPSK, QPSK or OQPSK. In addition to QPSK/OQPSK modulation scheme choice, the transmitter will have three d...
Effect of conducting containment on electromagnetic launcher efficiency
Ceylan, Doğa; Keysan, Ozan (2017-11-02)
Electromagnetic launcher, also called railgun, is a projectile accelerator which uses the electromagnetic force. Existence of solid metal containment around the rails of electromagnetic launchers, which increases the mechanical durability, affects the electromagnetic force on armature and rails. In this study, the effect of distance between non-laminated conducting containment and rails, and the effect of the lamination thickness on the efficiency of railgun are investigated. Also, the effect of magnetic an...
Output voltage control of a four-leg inverter based three-phase UPS by means of stationary frame resonant filter banks
Demirkutlu, Eyyup; Cetinkaya, Sueleyman; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-05-05)
A method for high performance output voltage control of a four-leg inverter (FLI) based three-phase UPS is proposed. Stationary frame resonant filter bank based output voltage control loop, which is complemented by capacitor current feedback based active damping loop, is employed. Utilizing the zero-state partitioning variable, a generalized form of scalar PWM for the FLI is developed and the minimum loss discontinuous PWM method is derived. The controller and modulator design and implementation details for...
Efficient integrated DC-DC converters for ultra-low voltage energy harvesters
Jayaweera, Herath; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-8)
The self-starting on-chip fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converters for energy harvesting applications presented in literature generally have low efficiency and output power capacity. Any improvement in DC-DC converter circuits in terms of energy efficiency, output power, self-starting modes, and voltage gain will contribute significantly to the widespread application of energy harvesters. Two novel fully integrated, self-starting, ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter topologies and model based optim...
