This thesis proposes four novel robust Kalman filter algorithms for attitude estimation using only the measurements of an inertial measurement unit. Efficiency and optimality of the Kalman filter based attitude filters are correlated with appropriate tuning of the covariance matrices. Manual tuning process is a difficult and time-consuming task. Specifically, the inertial measurement unit-only attitude estimation filters are prone to the external accelerations unless their covariances are adapted to gain robustness. The proposed algorithms provide an adaptive method for tuning the measurement noise covariance such that they can accurately estimate the attitude. The proposed methodologies are tested and compared with other filtering algorithms in the literature under different dynamical conditions and using real-world experimental datasets in order to validate their effectiveness. Results show that in highly dynamic scenarios especially the multiple tuning factor strategy can increase the attitude estimation accuracy more than two-times compared to the competitive algorithms.

Robust Attitude Estimation Using IMU-Only Measurements Candan, Batu; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-01-01) © 1963-2012 IEEE.This article proposes two novel covariance-tuning methods to form a robust Kalman filter (RKF) algorithm for attitude (i.e., roll and pitch) estimation using the measurements of only an inertial measurement unit (IMU). KF-based and complementary filtering (CF)-based approaches are the two common methods for solving the attitude estimation problem. Efficiency and optimality of the KF-based attitude filters are correlated with appropriate tuning of the covariance matrices. Manual tuning proce...
Pseudo-Linear Kalman Filter for Attitude Estimation of a Spinning Nanosatellite Söken, Halil Ersin; Kallio, Esa; Visala, Arto; Selkainaho, Jorma (null; 2017-06-09) This paper presents the pseudo-linear estimation approach to the high-rate spinning small spacecraft attitude estimation problem. The sensor suit utilised in the presented approach uses gyro, magnetometer and sun-sensor measurements. The presented estimation technique has been designed particularly for the problem of attitude determination during the Aalto-1 nanosatellite's Plasma Brake Experiment (PBE). The design of the PBE demands the satellite to be spun up to 200 deg/s for deploying the tether by the u...
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...
Design of Microstrip Quadruplet Filters on Filpro Oruc, Sacid; Yıldırım, Nevzat (2018-11-02) In this paper, a simple dimensional design procedure is developed for microstrip/stripline quadruplet filters by starting with direct BP synthesis of a lumped quadruplet with inverter couplings, K14, K12, K23 and K34. K14 is the cross-coupling inverter which creates a symmetric pair of finite transmission zeros (FTZ's) if the sign of K14 is opposite of the other inverters while a complex TZ is created if K14 has the same sign as the other inverters leading to linear phase (flat delay) responses. The LC reso...
GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01) In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
