MEMS (micro electrical mechanical systems) gyroscopes are used to measure the angular rate in several applications. The performance of a MEMS gyroscope is dependent on more than one factor, such as mechanical imperfections, environmental condition-dependent parameter variations, and mechanical-thermal noises. These factors should be compensated to improve the performance of the MEMS gyroscope. To overcome this compensation problem, a closed-loop control system is one of the solutions. In this paper, a closed-loop control system is implemented. However, other than previously applied methods, a proxy-based sliding mode control approach is proposed, which is a novelty for the control of the MEMS gyroscope drive axis since, to the best of our knowledge, this method has not been applied to gyroscope control problems. Proxy-based sliding mode controllers do not suffer from the chattering phenomenon. Additionally, we do not need an exact system model to implement the control law. In particular, we are investigating, in this paper, the compatibility and performance of a proxy-based sliding mode controller for a closed-loop gyroscope implementation. We show that our proposed method provides robustness against model uncertainties and disturbances and is easy to implement. We also compare the performance of classical sliding mode controllers and proxy-based sliding mode controllers, which demonstrate the evident superiority of the proxy-based controller in our implementation results. Simulation results show that system error and gyroscope total error reduced by 49.52% and 12.03%, respectively, compared to the sliding mode controller. Simulation results are supported with the experimental data, and experimental results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proxy-based sliding mode controller.

In this paper, we present the voltage build up process and the terminal voltage control of an isolated wind powered induction generator driven by a variable speed wind turbine using rotor flux oriented vector control. A description of the studied system is provided, and a simulation study is presented. The model used for the autonomous induction generator is a diphase one obtained by application of the Park transform. Theis model permits, when adopting some simplifying hypotheses, taking account the saturat...

ÜNSAL ÖZTÜRK, DERYA; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-20)
This thesis investigates controller design on the drive axis of MEMS gyroscopes. To increase the performance of gyros, modeling errors, mechanical imperfections, and sensor parameter changes due to the change of environmental factors should be eliminated. The tracking parameters of the closed loop MEMS gyro is strongly related to the performance of the controller on the drive axis. This controller should be robust to disruptive effects and modeling errors. This study uses “Weighted Feed Forward Controller” ...
Dynamical analysis of the fiber optic coils through multiscale numerical modeling and modal tests
Kahveci, Özkan; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-4-28)
Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are common rotation measurement devices in aerospace applications. They have a wide range of diversity in length and winding radius of coils to meet the system requirements. Every dimensional parameter in the coil influences the dynamic response of the system, which eventually leads to measurement errors. In order to eliminate the errors and qualify the system, after the design and production stages, a deep and comprehensive testing procedure follows. In this study, the dynamic...

Boyacıoğlu, Gökhan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Phase shifters are common microwave circuit devices, which are widely used in telecommunication and radar applications, microwave measurement systems, and many other industrial applications. They are key circuits of T/R modules and are used to form the main beam of the electronically scanned phase array antennas. Wideband operating range is an important criterion for EW applications. Hence, wideband performance of the phase shifter is also important. In this study, four wideband phase shifter circuits are d...

İnkaya, Uğur Yiğit; Oral, Ahmet; Department of Physics (2021-9-09)
Graphene is a two-dimensional material that has electronic properties such as having low density of charge carriers with high mobility, which are ideal for fabricating Hall sensors. Also considering its elastic properties, it is a promising material for flexible electronics including flexible Hall sensorics. Graphene was synthesized via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on 20μm-thick copper by using methane as carbon feedstock. CVD-graphene was transferred onto EVA-coated PET film via lam...
