    Saab, Samer S.; Toukhtarian, Raffi (2019-08-02)
    A sampling-rate-dependent (SRD) controller is proposed for the uniform output tracking problem of multiinput multioutput discrete time-varying linear systems. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is a special ...
  • Multidimensional Gains for Stochastic Approximation 
    Saab, Samer S.; Shen, Dong (2019-07-24)
    This paper deals with iterative Jacobian-based recursion technique for the root-finding problem of the vector-valued function, whose evaluations are contaminated by noise. Instead of a scalar step size, we use an ...
  • A Multiple-Access Time and Frequency Spectrum-Spreading Modulation 
    Saab, Samer S.; Khalife, Joe; Jaafar, Rayana H. (2019-08-08)
    In this paper a novel modulation scheme called Carrier Interleaved Multiple Access (CIMA) is proposed. CIMA provides an alternative for multiple-access modulation accommodating resistance to noise and channel interference. ...
  • A multivariable stochastic tracking controller for robot manipulators without joint velocities 
    Saab, Samer S.; Ghanem, Paul (2019-07-23)
    The objective of this paper is to design a discrete-time multivariable controller for a class of robot manipulators without using joint velocities while possessing tracking ability and yielding smooth torque signals. The ...
  • A novel pseudorandom noise and band jammer generator using a composite sinusoidal function 
    Saab, Samer S.; Hobeika, Jad G.; Ouaiss, Iyad E. (2019-07-23)
    Communication applications are increasingly relying on spread-spectrum techniques requiring the use of different types of pseudorandom noise generators (PRNGs). Such generators typically produce periodic deterministic ...

    Saab, Samer S.; Msheik, Hamze (2019-07-23)
    In this paper, we propose a novel radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based methodology that can estimate the position and orientation of an object. Unlike other RFID-based localization systems, the proposed method employs ...
  • On Higher-Order Iterative Learning Control Algorithm in Presence of Measurement Noise 
    Saab, Samer S. (IEEE, 2019-08-20)
    Higher-Order Iterative Learning Control (HO-ILC) algorithms use past system control information from more than one past iterative cycle. This class of ILC algorithms have been proposed aiming at improving the learning ...
  • On the Convergence of the Collatz Conjecture Sequence 
    Saab, Samer S. (2024-04-02)
    The Collatz conjecture, also known as the 3n + 1 problem, is a famous unsolved problem in mathematics. This work converts the conjecture dynamics into its corresponding difference equation. To determine the boundedness of ...
  • On the model order reduction of a direct current motor 
    Toukhtarian, Raffi; Sanjab, Anibal; Saab, Samer S. (2019-08-02)
    Neglecting the armature inductance, La, is a common approach for model order reduction for a class of brush DC motors. Some authors, however, make a partial or incomplete interpretation for neglecting La, leading students ...

  • Power matching approach for GPS coverage extension 
    Saab, Samer S.; Kassas, Zaher M. (2019-07-30)
    The inherent problem of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is signal obstruction, remains the major obstacle that inhibits it from functioning as a "reliable stand-alone" positioning system. Therefore, it is becoming ...
  • A proportional-derivative-double derivative controller for robot manipulators 
    Saab, Samer S.; Jaafar, Rayana H. (2019-07-24)
    Feeding a controller with acceleration signal can improve system robustness and relative stability. However, neither measurements of acceleration signals nor velocity signals are available in most industrial robot manipulators. ...
