The singular value decomposition (SVD), one of the single frame attitude estimation methods, is used together with the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for nanosatellite attitude estimation. The proposed interlaced algorithm estimates the attitude and gyro biases using three attitude sensors onboard, which are magnetometers, sun sensors and gyroscopes. The algorithm uses the SVD method at first to estimate the optimal attitude by minimizing the Wahba's loss function. In the second phase, the UKF takes this information as a measurement input for more accurate attitude estimates even in eclipse period in which the SVD method fails. The UKF runs by propagating only the kinematics, and the rotation angle error covariance matrix from the SVD is used as the measurement noise covariance matrix in the UKF. An attitude estimation accuracy that is within the desired limits for a nanosatellite mission has been achieved even when the satellite is in eclipse.

In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace (AC EAF) installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and a...
Scalar mesons in radiative phi-meson decays into neutral k-meson states
Korkmaz (Şişman), Canan; Yılmaz, Osman; Department of Physics (2006)
Radiative Decays of the phi-meson to the scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) are investigated within the framework of charged kaon loop model for both point-like scalar mesons and for scalar mesons with extended structure. Then, the radiative phi-meson decay into neutral K-meson is studied via a two step mechanism in which the scalar mesons couple the final state to the phi-meson through the charged kaon loop. The branching ratio of this decay is calculated and it is shown that this reaction will not provide ...

NANOSATELLITE ATTITUDE ESTIMATION FROM VECTOR MEASUREMENTS USING SVD-AIDED UKF ALGORITHM
Cilden, Demet; Söken, Halil Ersin; Hacızade, Cengiz (2017-03-01)
The integrated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) method can recursively estimate the attitude and attitude rates of a nanosatellite. At first, Wahba's loss function is minimized using the SVD and the optimal attitude angles are determined on the basis of the magnetometer and Sun sensor measurements. Then, the UKF makes use of the SVD's attitude estimates as measurement results and provides more accurate attitude information as well as the attitude rate estimates. The eleme...
Synthesis of Bandstop filters with ultra wide upper passbands
Yıldırım, Nevzat (2007-06-08)
A new LP Prototype-to-Distributed Bandstop mapping is defined to synthesize BSF's with controllable upper pass bandwidths. The synthesized filters involve resonators made up of commensurate OC and SC stubs coupled by inverters. It is shown that when inverters are approximated by several unit elements (UE) then their contribution to the response increases appreciably upon optimization. Thus, a novel approach is developed which can be used to synthesize BSF's with contributing UE's having ultra wide upper pas...
