A method for in-orbit estimation of time-varying residual magnetic moment is presented for small satellite applications. The Unscented Kalman Filter is used as the estimator. Unlike the existing studies in the literature, unexpected abrupt changes in the residual magnetic moment are also considered. Sudden shifts in the mean of the residual magnetic moment is detected by a low pass filter applied to the normalized innovation of the Unscented Kalman Filter. Then, by using a simple approach, which does not require an excessive extra computational load, the covariance of the filter is adapted to get better tracking without sacrificing the estimation accuracy. Compared to the existing methods that reinitialize the filter or increase the process noise covariance after each change detection, the proposed method does not need a priori information about the magnitude of the shift and assures both accurate estimation and good tracking performance for shifts with different magnitudes.

Electromagnetic Scattering from Obstacles in the Near Field Region of Electrically Large Arrays Cetin, Ramazan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Nepa, Paolo; Manara, Giuliano (2009-09-18) In this paper, an efficient method for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering/radiation from the obstacles nearby electrically large array antennas, with nonuniform excitation, is proposed. The approach is based on the combination of a ray field representation of electrically large arrays and a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) based representation of array current distribution. Proposed method is applied to a 2D problem: Radiation of a linear array of 2N+1 infinitely long current elements with tapered c...
Analysis of vision aided inertial navigation systems Yuksel, Yigiter; Kaygisiz, H. Burak (2006-04-19) We propose in this paper a method to integrate inertial navigation systems with electro optic imaging devices. Our method is based on updating the inertial navigation system in a Kalman filter structure using line of sight measurements obtained from a camera. The proposed method is analyzed based on a UAV scenario generated by our trajectory simulator and the results are provided here. The results show that even a single vision aid can improve the performance of inertial navigation system.
In-Orbit Estimation of Time-Varying Residual Magnetic Moment Söken, Halil Ersin; Wisniewski, Rafal (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-10-01) A method for in-orbit estimation of time-varying residual magnetic moment (RMM) is presented. By use of a simple approach, the covariance of the Kalman filter is adapted to get better tracking in case of unexpected abrupt changes in the RMM without sacrificing estimation accuracy. The proposed method does not need a priori information about the magnitude of the change and assures both accurate estimation and good tracking performance for changes with different magnitudes.
Design and analysis of nano-optical networks consisting of nanowires and optimized couplers Altinoklu, Askin; Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-09-01) We present computational design and investigation of nano-optical systems involving nanowires and well-designed nano-couplers to effectively transmit electromagnetic power in nanometer scales. Different nano-couplers, which consist of optimal arrangements of nano-cubes, are carefully designed by considering various scenarios, e.g., nanowire lines with sharp corners and junctions. An efficient combination of genetic algorithms and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is used to find suitable configuration...
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations Sahin, Mehmet Akif; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16) In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. Elastodynamic equations together with electromechanical coupling at the piezoelectric actuators for the stress field within the solid parts, Helmholtz equation for the acoustic field within fluid, and Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow are coupled for the simulations. Once the zer...
