Multi-channel data compression

With the development of space telemetry technology, it has brought forward higher requests for large capacity memory of hard recovered solid-state recorders. Therefore, data compression becomes more important. The compression feasibility and potentiality of telemetry data are examined by analyzing the statistical characteristics of actual telemetry data recovered from the recorder.

Spectral-spatial target detection based on data field modeling for hyperspectral data

Target detection is always an important application in hyperspectral image processing field. In this paper, a spectral-spatial target detection algorithm for hyperspectral data is proposed. The spatial feature and spectral feature were unified based on the data filed theory and extracted by weighted manifold embedding. The novelties of the proposed method lie in two aspects. One is the way in which the spatial features and spectral features were fused as a new feature based on the data field theory, and the other is that local information was introduced to describe the decision boundary and explore the discriminative features for target detection. The extracted features based on data field modeling and manifold embedding techniques were considered for a target detection task. Three standard hyperspectral datasets were considered in the analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed target detection algorithm based on data field theory was proved by the higher detection rates with lower False Alarm Rates (FARs) with respect to those achieved by conventional hyperspectral target detectors.     

VLSI architecture for SAR data compression

As a step towards a real-time signal aperture radar (SAR) correlator, custom very large scale integration (VLSI) architectures are developed. Considering the extremely short word length of the data, we derive three architectures with massive parallelism in bit space. Unlike frequency methods, no. degradation is introduced during convolution. Optimized for time and space, they are highly suited to VLSI implementation, and a small architecture with 80 taps operating at 10 MHz has been built using an FPGA     

Improved COSPAS-SARSAT locating with geostationary satellite data

The COSPAS-SARSAT system locates distress beacons via Doppler analysis of beacon transmissions as observed by low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites. By contrast, the 406 MHz search and rescue transponder on the geostationary satellites can measure only the transmitted frequency of the beacon, which is not currently being used in location determination. This report shows that a combined data approach can significantly improve the locating success rate, the time delay to the first solution, and the accuracy of location estimates

Near term approach to data relay for satellites under test

The increasing need for a continuous communications link with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spacecraft during test missions in low Earth orbit (LEG) has resulted in greater interest in geosynchronous data relay services. This may be a more economical alternative to building additional remote tracking stations for the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), and avoids tying up operational assets for a test mission. A low-cost near-term approach for such a space-based data relay system would utilize two existing Defense Satellite Communication System III spacecraft, two existing ground terminals, and a small, standardized terminal using autonomous antenna pointing for the space vehicle under test. Such a system design is presented

Coarse quantization for data compression in coherent location systems

When emitter location systems measure time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) and differential Doppler (DD) by coherently cross-correlating the signal pairs, data compression techniques are needed to facilitate data transfer of one of the signals to the receiving site of the other signal. Two block-adaptive quantization schemes are analyzed here to determine their impact on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the quantized signal as well as on the post-correlation SNR. Comparisons are made between two approaches: quantization of the real/imaginary (R/I) components or the magnitude/phase (M/P) components. For the M/P approach, a rule is derived for optimally allocating the bits between the magnitude and phase. The M/P approach provides better post-quantization/precorrelation SNR for most signals; however, when the SNR of the signal not being quantized is small, the post-correlation SNR can be largely unaffected by the quantization. In that case, there is little difference between R/I and M/P, even under the most favorable scenario for M/P.     

Near real-time modeling of global ionospheric vertical total electron content using hourly IGS data

The International GNSS Service (IGS) has been providing reliable Global Ionospheric Maps (GIMs) since 1998. The Ionosphere Associate Analysis Centers (IAACs) model the global ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) and generate the daily GIM products within the context of the IGS. However, the rapid and final daily GIM products have a latency of at least one day and one week or so, respectively. This limits the value of GIM products in real-time GNSS applications. We propose and develop an approach for near real-time modeling of global ionospheric TEC by using the hourly IGS data. We perform an experiment in a real operating environment to generate near real-time GIM (named BUHG) products for more than two years. Final daily GIM products, Precise Point Positioning (PPP) based VTEC resources, and JASON-3 Vertical TEC (VTEC) measurements are collected for testing the performance of BUHG. The results show that the performance of BUHG is very close to that of the daily GIM products. Also, there is good agreement between BUHG and PPP-derived VTEC as well as with JASON-3 VTEC. It is possible that BUHG would be further improved with an increase in available hourly GNSS data.     

考虑断点续传的中继卫星调度模型及启发式算法

为提高中继卫星系统的应用效能及数传任务的完成率,在中继卫星调度中考虑了断点续传这一应用模式,即对单个数传任务进行合理拆分,使其在多个时间窗口内完成。首先构建面向断点续传的中继卫星单址天线的调度模型,然后提出一种基于冲突风险评估的冲突度量化方法,并设计考虑断点续传的两阶段调度算法。最后开展大量的仿真实验将该算法与贪婪算法、基于最小冲突度的启发式算法和基于任务优先级的启发式算法这3个不考虑断点续传的算法进行对比。实验结果表明,所提出的算法在任务完成率方面分别提高了7.67%、6.34%和8.67%。

Performance of a two-layer LEO satellite communication network

A novel two-layer low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellite network is proposed. Comparing with a single layer global network, not only the system performance is improved but also the number of satellites can be reduced. The main ideas include (1) to raise the altitude of the original global network, and (2) to add several satellites at lower altitude to form a regional network to serve calls from the areas of heavy traffic. In order to fully utilize the benefits of the two-layer network, additional functions such as adjustable beam and dynamic channel management are added. Call blocking rate is derived. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate several interesting phenomena.     

Attitude control of a satellite with redundant thrusters

Redundant thrusters are generally used for a reliable attitude control system. Also, redundant thrusters yield a better performance if they are used appropriately. In this paper, the authors propose an efficient redundancy management algorithm to reduce the fuel consumption. The algorithm is based on a linear programming problem which is a constrained optimization problem. For the algorithm, a cost function is defined as a quantity related to the fuel consumption for a maneuver. The independent variables are the thrusters' on-times which are control input variables of a satellite dynamic model. The advantage of the proposed method is verified by numerical examples. The examples show that the proposed method consumes less fuel than an existing method for a given maneuvering command. A sub-optimal algorithm is also discussed for an onboard computation. The proposed algorithm is applied to two maneuvers: move-to-rest and rest-to-rest. This is verified by a numerical simulation.     

Nonlinear amplitude compression in magnetic resonance imaging:quantization noise reduction and data memory saving

Dynamic range improvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by nonlinear amplitude compression is proposed. Quantization noise reduction by a factor of 10 to 20 is confirmed by a numerical simulation, provided an appropriate nonlinear transform is chosen. The piecewise-linear transform is the best nonlinear transform studied so far. Implementing amplitude compression requires no additional hardware in a usual MRI system if the low spatial frequency lines of the magnetic resonance (MR) signal are selectively prescanned through an attenuator. The method will be particularly effective in 3-D imaging of large objects. MR angiography, and imaging of solids
