Multiple Access Frequency Hopping Patterns with Low Ambiguity

A technique is discussed for the design of multiple access frequency hopping patterns which will allow a number of users to communicate reliably over a limited bandwidth in the presence of Doppler and timing asynchronies. The patterns are based on a subset of the Reed-Solomon codewords. They possess nearly flat ambiguity and cross-ambiguity functions and thus could be useful as discrete radar signals. In addition the structure of the patterns permits a straightforward Implementation.     

Choosing a Vision Model for Optimizing DPCM Video

The efficient transmission of video signals can be effected by the reduction of statistical redundancy, based on linear prediction. It is clear that economic transmission of video signals must be based on the characteristics of human vision where man is the end user. There are several characteristics of sight which can be used for this purpose. Contrast sensitivity is the important characteristic of vision for the predictive system. We consider the case of the Laplacian curve as an approximation for the contrast sensitivity of vision. It is shown that the differences between a Gaussian and a Laplacian approximation to the contrast sensitivity characteristic are insignificant.     

UV 波段的宽带可重构收发机的实现

设计了一种宽带可重构收发机,主要由三部分组成：发射机、接收机和频率源。发射机完成从中频 70 MHz 到100~550 MHz 的射频发射,为了减小发射信号对相邻信道的干扰,发射信号的杂散抑制要高。接收 机从众多的电波中选出有用信号,并将该信号搬移到中频信号,然后放大到解调器所要求的电平值,将射频信 号变为中频信号,由于传输路径上的损耗和多径效应,接收机接收的信号是微弱且有变化的,并伴随着许多干 扰,这些干扰信号强度往往远大于有用信号,因此接收机的主要指标是灵敏度和选择性。频率源提供精确和低 噪声的本振信号,为射频变频系统核心部分之一,频率源的主要指标是相位噪声。     

A Kilowatt Rotary Power Transformer

Many future satellite configurations will require the transfer of signals and power across rotating interfaces. Satellite systems are particularly cost effective for both commercial and military communications applications if their useful lifetime can be demonstrated to be greater than five years. The rotary transformer has the desireable characteristics of high reliability and low noise which qualify it as a potential replacement for slip rings. This paper describes the development of a rotary transformer for typical spacecraft applications. The transformer is built in modular sections, each capable of transferring 500 watts across a gap at efficiencies greater than 88 percent, dc to dc. The design effort included a study of pertinent electrical characteristics required for typical spacecraft configurations, electrical design and analyses of the overall dc-dc converter, mechanical design of the transformer cores and their assembly, and a study of transformer core and winding characteristics. Breadboard test results have demonstrated the desired level of efficiency, satisfactory operation over temperature, and satisfactory electrical characteristics.     

绕水翼空化非定常动力特性的时频分析

为了解绕水翼附着空化的流体动力特性,用实验方法研究了绕水翼的空化流动现象。实验在空化水洞中完成,采用高速摄像技术观测了不同空化阶段的空穴形态,并测量了水翼所受的升阻力。利用时频分析中的Choi-Williams变换和小波变换对水翼升力信号进行了分析处理,得到了水翼升力信号在不同空化阶段的时频特征。结果表明：在不同的空化阶段,对应于各种不同的空化形态,其流体动力的频谱特性也表现了不同的特点。在没有空化产生时,水翼升力的时频无规则,升力随时间的变化不存在周期性;在片状空化阶段,升力信号变化的频率随着空化数的减小而减小;在云状空化阶段,空穴波动增强,升力信号的周期性更加显著,而此时频率基本不随时间和空化数变化。     

Background noise suppression for signal enhancement by noveltyfiltering

The enhancement of weak signals in the presence of background and channel noise is necessary to design a robust automatic signal detection and recognition system. The autoassociative property of neural networks can be used to map the identifying characteristics of input source waveforms or their spectra. This paper is directed at the exploitation of such neural network properties for novelty filtering that improves the detection probability of weak signals by learning and subsequent subtraction of noise background from the input waveform. A neural-network-based preprocessor that learns to selectively filter out the background noise without significantly affecting the signal will be highly useful in solving practical signal enhancement problems. An analytical basis is established for the operation of neural-network-based novelty filters that enhance the signal detectability in the presence of noise background and channel noise     

Automatic Controller for a Sweeping Microwave Receiver

The Automatic System Controller (ASC) is a very simple automatic data processing system designed to provide unattended operation of the R-31 receiver, a sweeping microwave receiver. With the receiver set to operate in the scanning mode, its video output is processed by the ASC, which recognizes by thresholding the presence of a signal in the receiver pass band. When the threshold is exceeded, a receiver sweep stop is actuated, an appropriate receiver mode is selected, and an on-site tape recorder is turned on. To enhance signal acquisition, the ASC provides noise leveling gain control, the gating of undesirable signals, and useful aids for an operator attending the receiver.     

Modeling Piecewise-Linear Systems by Topological Techniques

Flowgraph techniques are extended to systems with piecewise-linear characteristics by developing criteria for construction of an optimum model from related subregions in which linearity holds. This requires the synthesis of several known techniques and results in a wide range of useful applications including: 1) devices with nonlinear characteristics which may be considered as linear over certain subregions; 2) networks whose response to changes in applied signal frequency or magnitude may be approximated by piecewise-linear asymptotes; 3) systems processing two or more signals simultaneously with different transfer or immitance characteristics for each signal; 4) circuits approximated by different equivalent circuits depending on the numerical values of critical parameters. Representative examples will illustrate these and similar applications. Procedures are presented to provide a logical, orderly, and effective approach to construct a model, to determine figures of merit, and to optimize the model for a prescribed region of operation or for a desired range of parameters.

Interferences in Phase-Locked Loops

An analysis of the behavior of a second-order phase-locked loop is presented when an unwanted signal is added to the useful signal. Both signals are sinusoidal and unmodulated, and the analysis is made in the absence of additive noise. When the loop remains locked on the useful signal, a parasitic signal exists at the phase detector output. This signal produces a parasitic phase modulation of the VCO and a static phase error in the loop. The parasitic signal amplitude, the parasitic phase modulation index, and the static phase error are calculated. A necessary condition for the loop to remain in lock is derived. When the loop is initially unlocked, locking can occur either on the useful signal or on the unwanted signal, depending on the amplitude ratio and the frequency difference of the two signals. A formula allowing one to compute the pull-in time is obtained. When the loop locks on the useful signal, acquisition can be slower or faster than in the absence of an unwanted signal. The same phenomenon is observed when the loop locks on the unwanted signal.

Investigating Earth’s Atmospheric Electricity: a Role Model for Planetary Studies

The historical development of terrestrial atmospheric electricity is described, from its beginnings with the first observations of the potential gradient to the global electric circuit model proposed by C.T.R. Wilson in the early 20th century. The properties of the terrestrial global circuit are summarised. Concepts originally needed to develop the idea of a global circuit are identified as “central tenets”, for example, the importance of radio science in establishing the conducting upper layer. The central tenets are distinguished from additional findings that merely corroborate, or are explained by, the global circuit model. Using this analysis it is possible to specify which observations are preferable for detecting global circuits in extraterrestrial atmospheres. Schumann resonances, the extremely low frequency signals generated by excitation of the surface-ionosphere cavity by electrical discharges, are identified as the most useful single measurement of electrical activity in a planetary atmosphere.

Modes of Sliding,switching and linear vector control with a given quality of transient processes under uncertainty

The results obtained for the systems with a linear stationary object and scalar control of sliding and switching modes [1] are further developed. The methods of forming five modes of system operation with discontinuous and linear vector control at nominal and uncertain limited disturbances are suggested. The necessary quality of transient processes with regard to the speed of response and zero stationary error at all five modes and also controlled oscillation frequency and amplitude of control signals at the sliding modes are provided. The effective sequence of switching the modes mentioned during the finite and unlimited time intervals is proposed. The results are useful for qualitative tracking of programmed motion for flight vehicles, robot manipulators, and other technical and production systems.
