Simulation of X-ray and gamma ray detector response and spectral deconvolution

A detailed Monte-Carlo code has been developed from basic principles that simulates the responses of high energy photon detectors to incident beams of photons. The detector response matrice (DRM)s are calculated using this code. Deconvolution of an artificially generated spectrum is presented.     

盲自适应多用户检测器抗窄带干扰性能分析

CDMA系统的优点之一是可以和窄带系统共存。通过将窄带干扰信号等效为多个虚拟用户，就可以利用多用户检测算法实现窄带干扰抑制。由于接收端一般不知道窄带干扰的特征信息，因此只有采用盲多用户检测算法才能实现对多址干扰和窄带干扰的联合抑制。本文从理论上分析了最小均方误差（MinimumMeanSquareError，MMSE）盲多用户检测器抑制窄带干扰的性能，并给出了仿真实验结果。     

HW/SW Co-design of the Instrument Control Unit for the Energetic Particle Detector on-board Solar Orbiter

ESA’s medium-class Solar Orbiter mission is conceived to perform a close-up study of our Sun and its inner heliosphere to better understand the behaviour of our star. The mission will provide the clues to discover how the Sun creates and controls the solar wind and thereby affects the environments of all the planets. The spacecraft is equipped with a comprehensive suite of instruments. The Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) is one of the in-situ instruments on-board Solar Orbiter. EPD is composed of five different sensors, all of them sharing the Instrument Control Unit or ICU that is the sole interface with the spacecraft. This paper emphasises on how the hardware/software co-design approach can lead to a decrease in software complexity and highlights the versatility of the toolset that supports the development process. Following a model-driven engineering approach, these tools are capable of generating the high-level code of the software application, as well as of facilitating its configuration control and its deployment on the hardware platforms used in the different stages of the development process. Moreover, the use of the Leon2ViP virtual platform, with fault injection capabilities, allows an early software-before-hardware verification and validation and also a hardware–software co-simulation. The adopted solutions reduce development time without compromising the whole process reliability that is essential to the EPD success.
