The Effect of Differential Time Delays in the LMS Feedback Loop

The effect of differential time delay in the feedback loops of an LMS adaptive array is examined. Differential time delay is shown to have two effects on array performance. First, it causes the weights to oscillate during weight transients. Second, it degrades the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) from the array. Weight oscillation occurs when the phase shifts in the LMS loop are not matched at the signal carrier frequency. SINR degradation depends on signal bandwidth: the wider the bandwidth, the larger the degradation.

Improved Feedback Loop for Adaptive Arrays

This paper is concerned with the problem of time constants in adaptive arrays. The paper presents a improved form of an adaptive array feedback loop, which has the property that its time constants are fixed. This property is an advantage over the well-known least mean square (LMS) loop, for which time constants depend on received signal power. Fixed time constants are of interest because they simplify dynamic range problems for adaptive arrays in communication and radar systems.

Application of the Normalized LMS Algorithm to MSLC

For some conditions, the convergence time of the conventional LMS algorithm is longer than the radar dwell time so that the MSLC technique does not cancel jammers. The convergence time depends upon the power and angular locations of the jammers. The normalized LMS technique can decrease convergence times by several orders of magnitude. It causes the convergence time to be essentially independent of the jammer powers and decreases the convergence time dependence upon location. The derivation of an exact first moment analysis of the weights for the normalized LMS algorithm is given. Simulation results are also given. There is excellent agreement between the two.     

The Effects of Gaussian Interference on Communication Systemswith Adaptive Arrays

The performance of a bandlimited binary phase-shift-keyed (BPSK) communication system is examined when the received BPSK signal is corrupted by both thermal noise and a directional Gaussian noise interfering signal. The system uses an LMS adaptive array to suppress this interference. The effects of signal power levels, arrival angles, bandwidths, and the array bandwidth are examined. The performance of a system that uses tapped delay lines for the array weights is also examined. It is shown that the performance of a system with tapped delay lines is not affected by the interference bandwidth for a single interferer.

为了研究温度梯度对边界层转捩的影响,在对有/无压力梯度的T3系列平板转捩实验进行数值模拟获得满意结果的基础上,对原型实验进行重新设计,以在平板边界层内形成不同温度梯度并进行数值模拟。计算结果表明随着温度梯度的增大,转捩位置向下游推延发生,平板相同位置边界层的形状参数和壁面切应力系数也相应大幅增高,边界层湍流脉动得到抑制,这是因为温度梯度形成的密度分层,湍流能量为了克服因为密度分层形成的法向浮力而被逐渐耗散,但是温度梯度对转捩影响与其它流动特性对转捩的影响相比较弱。     

Results from a Four-Element Adaptive Antenna Experiment

Experimental results from a four-element, linear, half-wavelength spacing, adaptive-array antenna under the control of the least mean square (LMS) algorithm are presented. The array is found to be capable of nulling a 70-MHz signal to -35 dB below a desired signal over a 5-MHz bandwidth. The antenna processing gain is constant over a desired signal-to-jammer signal power ratio range from -20 dB to 5 dB. A sharp reduction in processing gain is observed for angular separations between jammer and desired signal of less than 10°. Antenna patterns taken with weights set in 300 iterations of the LMS algorithm show that the one strong, one weak jammer combination has a longer weight convergence time and reduced processing gain compared with a two strong jammers combination. Contours of constant desired signal-to-jammer signal power ratio, after adaptive antenna processing, reveal a complex shape for communication between air and ground due to the finite angular resolution of the adaptive antenna.

Phase-only LMS and perturbation adaptive algorithms

The author defines a phase-only gradient-based adaptive algorithm analogous to the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. Two phase-only perturbation algorithms are then defined. It is shown that the gradient for the perturbation algorithms can be obtained by cross-correlating binary perturbation sequences, that are applied to the adaptive phases, with the resulting instantaneous output power or voltage. It is also shown that a single set of phase-only adaptive weights can be used to simultaneously null interference in multiple output beams. Simulation results are presented for all of the new algorithms. The phase-only perturbation techniques eliminate the need for element level receivers and support low cost retrofitting of adaptive nulling on phased arrays by using conventional beamsteering circuits to apply the adaptive weights     

Methods for determining unimpeded aircraft taxiing time and evaluating airport taxiing performance

The objective of this study is to improve the methods of determining unimpeded (nom-inal) taxiing time, which is the reference time used for estimating taxiing delay, a widely accepted performance indicator of airport surface movement. After reviewing existing methods used widely by different air navigation service providers (ANSP), new methods relying on computer software and statistical tools, and econometrics regression models are proposed. Regression models are highly recommended because they require less detailed data and can serve the needs of general per-formance analysis of airport surface operations. The proposed econometrics model outperforms existing ones by introducing more explanatory variables, especially taking aircraft passing and over-passing into the considering of queue length calculation and including runway configuration, ground delay program, and weather factors. The length of the aircraft queue in the taxiway system and the interaction between queues are major contributors to long taxi-out times. The proposed method provides a consistent and more accurate method of calculating taxiing delay and it can be used for ATM-related performance analysis and international comparison.

Radar target tracking-Viterbi versus IMM

The performance of the Viterbi and the interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithms, applied to radar tracking and detection, are investigated and compared. Two different cases are considered. In the first case, target acceleration is identical to one of the system models while in the second case it is not. The performance of the algorithms depends monotonically on the maximal magnitude of the difference between models acceleration, on the time interval between measurements, and on the reciprocal of the measurements error standard deviation. In general, when these parameters are relatively large, both algorithms perform well. When they are relatively small, the Viterbi algorithm is better. However, during delay periods, namely right after the start of a maneuver, the IMM algorithm provides better estimations

An LMS Adaptive Array for Multipath Fading Reduction

Multipath fading often poses a serious hindrance in radiocommunication. The application of a least-mean-square (LMS)adaptive array to the problem of multipath fading reduction is discussed. However, it is known that multipath components are in general correlated with one another. We examine the effect of the correlation on the performance of the LMS adaptive array. When the correlation coefficient does not equal or approximate 1, the LMS adaptive array suppresses the multipath signals significantly by nulling. On the other hand, when the correlation coefficient nearly equals 1, the LMS adaptive array prevents the output signalpower from decreasing. Therefore, the LMS adaptive array mayreduce the multipath fading effectively for any correlation coefficient value. A reference signal in the LMS adaptive array is also discussed. It is shown that synchronization in the referencesignal generation must be extremely accurate. Moreover, aprocessor configuration is proposed which may generate thereference signal with the required accuracy.
