Opis:
In this paper, the performance of the Bayesian Optimization (BO) technique applied to various problems of microwave engineering is studied. Bayesian optimization is a novel, non-deterministic, global optimization scheme that uses machine learning to solve complex optimization problems. However, each new optimization scheme needs to be evaluated to find its best application niche, as there is no universal technique that suits all problems. Here, BO was applied to different types of microwave and antenna engineering problems, including matching circuit design, multiband antenna and antenna array design, or microwave filter design. Since each of the presented problems has a different nature and characteristics such as different scales (i.e. number of design variables), we try to address the question about the generality of BO and identify the problem areas for which the technique is or is not recommended.

Opis:
A novel circuit topology of modified switched boost high frequency hybrid resonant inverter fitted induction heating equipment is presented in this paper for efficient induction heating. Recently, induction heating technique is becoming very popular for both domestic and industrial purposes because of its high energy efficiency and controllability. Generally in induction heating, a high frequency alternating magnetic field is required to induce the eddy currents in the work piece. High frequency resonant inverters are incorporated in induction heating equipment which produce a high frequency alternating magnetic field surrounding the coil. Previously this high frequency alternating magnetic field was produced by voltage source inverters. But VSIs have several demerits. So, in this paper, a new scheme of modified switched boost high frequency hybrid resonant inverter fitted induction heating equipment has been depicted which enhances the energy efficiency and controllability and the same is validated by PSIM.

Opis:
W referacie przedstawiono system akwizycji danych pomiarowych z bardzo szybkim przetwornikiem analogowo-cyfrowym AD9484 Analog Devices. Stanowi on końcowy stopień systemu pomiarowego do identyfikacji i pomiarów wybranych parametrów impulsów elektromagnetycznych o bardzo dużej mocy [4]. Układ pomiarowy pozwala na przeprowadzenie badań związanych z bezpieczeństwem systemów teleinformatycznych narażonych na sygnały HPEM (ang. High Power Electromagnetics), czyli ekstremalnie wysokomocowych impulsów promieniowania elektromagnetycznego. Technologia opiera się na wykorzystaniu pola elektromagnetycznego o bardzo dużym natężeniu, powodując uszkodzenia lub zniszczenia urządzeń elektronicznych. Impulsy elektromagnetyczne HPEM charakteryzują się szczególnymi parametrami: wysoką mocą emitowanych impulsów, bardzo krótkim czasem trwania impulsów oraz prędkością propagacji równą prędkości światła, które sprawiają, że broń elektromagnetyczna jest niezwykle skuteczna w działaniach wojennych czy terrorystycznych. Rejestrację i analizę sygnałów wspomaga oprogramowanie VisualAnalog, zawierające bogaty zestaw do symulacji, przetwarzania danych oraz przeprowadzania licznych testów na zgromadzonych danych pomiarowych. Przedstawiono przykładowe charakterystyki amplitudowoczasowe oraz amplitudowo-częstotliwościowe sygnałów HPEM.
The paper presents a data acquisition system with a very fast analogtodigital converter Analog Devices AD9484. It is the final stage of a measurement system for identification and measurement of selected parameters of electromagnetic pulses of very high power [4]. The measurement system allows for tests connected with the security of ICT systems exposed to HPEM (High Power Electromagnetics) signals, which are extremely high power pulses of electromagnetic radiation. The technology is based on the use of the electromagnetic field of very high intensity, causing damage or destroying electronic devices. HPEM electromagnetic pulses are characterized by specific parameters: a high power of the emitted pulses, a very short duration of pulses and the propagation velocity equal to the speed of light which makes electromagnetic weapon extremely effective in warfare or terrorism. Recording and analyzing signals supports the VisualAnalog software, including a rich set of simulation, data processing, and performing a big number of tests on the collected measurement data. Examples of the amplitude-time and amplitude-frequency characteristics of HPEM signals are presented in Section 3 of the paper.

Opis:
The subject of the study was to determine the impact of changes in mechanical properties of high-tin bronzes on the basic components of the sound of a bell. Change in the tin concentration in the range of about 7.5 to 20 parts wt. in a casting alloy significantly affects the mechanical properties of the alloy such as Young’s modulus or hardness. The free vibrations of bells were obtained with the help of the finite element method. In the numerical analyses the mechanical properties of standard alloys were adopted. The obtained natural frequencies of the bell made of a bronze with different tin concentration in copper were compared with the acoustic properties of a real bell casted on the basis of the same ribs. A significant effect of the increase in the alloying share of tin on the obtained results was stated. In addition, the acoustic analysis of aluminum bronze C95500 have been performed. Based on the obtained results, authors stated that this material can replace the commonly used high tin bronze C91300 for the unit production of bells.

The primary research objective is to reduce the dangers of rogue drones in our lives and the consequences of extremist groups, drug dealers, and organised criminals using them. The growing number of incidents involving modified drones proves the weakness of existing technology in stopping and neutralising errant drones such as the hand-held gun jammer, trained eagle, R.F. jammer, and others. This technology is not very likely to able to knock out a rogue drone and is incapable of stopping programmable drones. This article aims to examine the directed energy of HPM (high power microwaves) in using the electromagnetic field strength energy to damage the drone’s structure or burn its PCB board electronics. It goes on to analyse electronic attack using microwave power with high frequency to immediately switch off drones. The effectiveness of high microwave power for disrupting drones at different distances and in different weather conditions is evaluated. A study of the conical horn antenna of the magnetron coupling system, which has an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz, is also included.

Opis:
High-frequency resonance is a prominent phenomenon which affects the normal operation of the high-speed railway in China. Aiming at this problem, the resonance mechanism is analyzed first. Then, model predictive control and selective harmonic elimination pulse-width modulation (MPC-SHEPWM) combined control strategy is proposed, where the harmonics which cause the resonance can be eliminated at the harmonic source. Besides, the MPC is combined to make the current track the reference in transients. The proposed control has the ability to suppress the resonance while has a faster dynamic performance comparing with SHEPWM. Finally, the proposed MPC-SHEPWM is tested in a simulation model of CRH5 (Chinese Railway High-speed), EMUs (electric multiple units) and a traction power supply coupled system, which shows that the proposed MPC-SHEPWM approach can achieve the resonance suppression and shows a better dynamic performance.

Opis:
In the article the function and the scale for the entropy evaluation of the current state of extremely high frequency (EHF-) sensors quality in the various technical systems which fits the requirements of universality and maximal independency from the human factor are offered. One may see such EHF-sensors for the analysis of the quick transformations of the biological liquids properties. It’s high lighted that the available methods of the determination of technical systems’ quality have essential flaws which consist in both subjectivism because the dominant role in the evaluation belongs to experts and legitimacy of providing them properties of universality which was proved by nobody. The scheme of EHF-sensor is analyzed for which one may create an analytical model. The problem of the fields’ determination at the working region of such sensor is discussed. The presented scheme is possible to use for the mathematical model and just for that part of the problem which is devoted to the transformation of the properties of the object. The results of calculation of components of electromagnetic field at the working space of EHF-sensor are discussed. One may estimate the sizes of this space. The offered function of the quality evaluation, the parameter of which is the quantity of own information of the explored sensor, provides the declared universality approach according to the principles of the information theory. The conformity to all requirements for the functions of the evaluation of the quality: continuity, monotonic and smoothness over the whole range of definition regardless of the probability distribution function, which is measured by the random value EHF-sensor was proved. The proposed scale of the entropy evaluation of the quality fits to standard settings of the diagnostic of the technical systems and has three sub ranges which determine the state of the EHF-sensors: good state, up state, and down state. Unlike the existing psychophysical scales the offered scale has dynamic range of the evaluation so the limits of the sub ranges will automatically change depending on the regulatory and technical requirements for the state of the explored EHF-sensor. Such approach provides adaptation of the scale to specific requirements which gives a chance to evaluate the qualitative state of the object more reliably. The results of modeling of the qualitative state of the sensor are given. The possible practical application of the offered function and scale is usage in the systems of monitoring and diagnostic for determination of the current qualitative state of the explored technical system, as well.

Opis:
For protection against electric shock in low voltage systems residual current devices are commonly used. However, their proper operation can be interfered when high frequency earth fault current occurs. Serious hazard of electrocution exists then. In order to detect such a current, it is necessary to modify parameters of residual current devices, especially the operating point of their current transformer. The authors proposed the modification in the structure of residual current devices. This modification improves sensitivity of residual current devices when high frequency earth fault current occurs. The test of the modified residual current device proved that the authors’ proposition is appropriate.

Opis:
Układy napędowe o podwyższonej częstotliwości to grupa urządzeń, która w ostatnich latach najmocniej zaznaczyła swoją obecność na rynku Oil & Gas. Podwyższona częstotliwość napięcia wyjściowego przekształtnika umożliwia regulację prędkości obrotowych w szerszym zakresie. Zwiększa to wydajność i uniwersalność całego napędu, ale jednocześnie powoduje dodatkowe zagrożenia dla izolacji kabli zasilających, transformatora podwyższającego jak i samego silnika. Niezbędnym elementem takiego układu staje się filtr sinusoidalny, który zapewnia ochronę i niezawodność całego napędu. W artykule przedstawiono analizę doboru elementów składowych filtru sinusoidalnego LC i ich parametrów względem podwyższonej częstotliwości pracy i częstotliwości przełączeń. Przedstawiono wyniki badań wpływu tych parametrów na pracę filtru oraz na przebieg napięcia wyjściowego i współczynnik odkształcenia THDu.
Drive systems with increased frequency are a group of devices that has made a significant presence in the Oil & Gas industry in recent years. Increased frequency of the converter output voltage allows speed changes in a wider range. This increases the efficiency and versatility of the entire drive, but at the same time causes additional stresses for the insulation of the power cables, the step-up transformer and the motor itself. Therefore, an indispensable element of such a system is a sinusoidal filter, which ensures protection and reliability of the entire drive. The article presents an analysis of the selection of components of a sinusoidal LC filter and its parameters in a relation to the increased operating frequency and switching frequency. The results of the research on the influence of these parameters on the filter operation, output voltage and the THDu coefficient have been presented.

Opis:
Power Quality, in terms of power factor and harmonics, is greatly hampered by a three-phase rectifier used as a front-end ac-to-dc converter in many systems including a UPS. This paper presents the high power factor operation of the converter with reduced total harmonic distortion up to 4%. The power quality up gradation is due to high-frequency current injection, at the input of the front-end rectifier. A small filter is required at the output for filtering the high-frequency content. Sinusoidal PWM technique is used for controlling the output voltage. DSP is used for generating the desired gate pulses. The converter has high efficiency, low EMI emissions, high power packing density and suitable for UPS system. A Simulation and experimentation is carried out on a 3 kW converter and experimental results are in good agreement with simulation results.

Opis:
In this paper, an experimental method was utilized to investigate acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and to identify emission sources of the nonlinear AE signal on the cylinder body of a large low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engine in real-working conditions on the sea in misfiring and normal firing modes. Measurements focused on the AE signal acquired in a transverse direction in low-frequency (20-80 kHz), medium-frequency (100-400 kHz) and high-frequency (400-900 kHz) ranges. The collected signals were analyzed on the crank angle and crank angle-frequency domains. The results showed that all potential sources of the nonlinear AE signal could be mapped in the low-frequency range. However, only the AE signal caused by the combustion process at around the top dead center could be well-observed in the medium-to-high-frequency range. The findings also revealed that in normal firing conditions, the AE energy radiated by friction in the down-stroke period was smaller than in the up-stroke process due to gas-sealing forces. Moreover, the AE energy in the misfiring condition was higher than in the normal firing state. These outcomes considerably contributed understandings to characteristics of friction and wear around the mid-stroke area of the cylinder on a two-stroke marine diesel engine.

ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to evaluate the hearing status of operators of low-frequency ultrasonic devices compared to employees exposed to audible noise at a similar A-weighted sound pressure level (SPL) but without ultrasonic components.Material and MethodsStandard pure-tone audiometry, extended high-frequency audiometry (EHFA), transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), as well as questionnaire surveys were conducted among 148 subjects, aged 43.1±10.8 years, working as ultrasonic device operators for 18.7±10.6 years. Their exposure to noise within the ultrasonic and audible frequency range was also evaluated. The control group comprised 168 workers, adjusted according to gender, age (±2 years), tenure (±2 years), and the 8-hour daily noise exposure level (LEX,8h) of ±2 dB.ResultsThe ultrasonic device operators and the control group were exposed to audible noise at LEX,8h of 80.8±3.9 dB and 79.1±3.4, respectively. The Polish maximum admissible intensity (MAI) values for audible noise were exceeded in 16.8% of the ultrasonic device operators, while 91.2% of them were exposed to ultrasonic noise at SPL>MAI values. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the hearing threshold levels (HTLs) up to 3 kHz, while the ultrasonic device operators exhibited significantly higher (worse) HTLs, as compared to the control group, in the range of 4–14 kHz. The results of the DPOAE and TEOAE testing also indicated worse hearing among the ultrasonic device operators. However, the differences between the groups were more pronounced in the case of EHFA and DPOAEs.ConclusionsThe outcomes of all hearing tests consistently indicated worse hearing among the ultrasonic device operators as compared to the control group. Both EHFA and DPOAE seem to be useful tools for recognizing early signs of hearing loss among ultrasonic device operators.
