Model-based robust estimation and fault detection for MEMS-INS/GPS integrated navigation systems

In micro-electro-mechanical system based inertial navigation system（MEMS-INS）/global position system（GPS） integrated navigation systems, there exist unknown disturbances and abnormal measurements. In order to obtain high estimation accuracy and enhance detection sensitivity to faults in measurements, this paper deals with the problem of model-based robust estimation（RE） and fault detection（FD）. A filter gain matrix and a post-filter are designed to obtain a RE and FD algorithm with current measurements, which is different from most of the existing priori filters using measurements in one-step delay. With the designed filter gain matrix, the H-infinity norm of the transfer function from noise inputs to estimation error outputs is limited within a certain range; with the designed post-filter, the residual signal is robust to disturbances but sensitive to faults. Therefore, the algorithm can guarantee small estimation errors in the presence of disturbances and have high sensitivity to faults. The proposed method is evaluated in an integrated navigation system, and the simulation results show that it is more effective in position estimation and fault signal detection than priori RE and FD algorithms.     

An efficient method of passive emitter location

The problem of locating a stationary emitter from passive bearing and frequency measurements taken by a moving and autonomously operating sensor along its trajectory is considered. The estimation procedure based on bearings only is quite different from that based on frequency measurements. From the Cramer-Rao (CR) analysis of the single-measurement case, the characteristic features of each method become transparent and an intuitive understanding of both methods is provided. One of the major results is that the orientation of the error ellipses of the bearings method (BM) and frequency method (FM) differ significantly. From this a considerable integration gain in accuracy results, when processing the combined set of bearing and frequency measurements. The results of the theoretical CR analysis are verified in a numerical simulation based on the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation. The simulations demonstrate that a combined method is definitely superior to BM and FM with respect to the bias and the size of the error ellipses

The ability to generate rational models of time series plays an important role in such applications as adaptive filtering, spectral estimation, digital control, array processing, and forecasting. A method for effecting an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model estimate is presented which possesses a number of admirable properties: 1) it has an elegant algebraic structure, 2) its modeling performance in spectral estimation applications has been empirically found to typically exceed that of such contemporary techniques as the periodogram, the Burg method, and the Box-Jenkins method on a variety of problems, 3) it is implementable by computationally efficient algorithms, and 4) it is based on pseudomaximum likelihood concepts. Taken in combination, these properties mark this method as being an effective tool in challenging applications requiring high modeling performance in a real time setting.     

不同压比状态下超声速射流冲击斜板的声场/流场特性

为研究超声速射流冲击斜板的噪声特性及声源特性,针对不同压比下,超声速射流流场及声场分别进行了高频PIV（particle image velocimetry)测量与远场噪声测量。PIV测量结果可观测到激波格栅形成过程以及冲击斜板对它的影响。声场测量结果可捕捉到自由射流与冲击射流中不同的纯音频率随压比增加的转变过程。通过一一对比各纯音模态与流场模态,可区分各纯音模态的声源特性。结果表明:当压比在2.0~3.2之间时,共出现五种纯音模态:A模态纯音频率为剪切层大尺度涡脱落频率,此时流场呈现同轴模态;d模态和e模态中纯音频率主要为冲击纯音频率,且e模态出现时流场转化为螺旋模态,这是一种不稳定模态;当压比大于等于2.53时,纯音模态稳定成单一模态B,B模态纯音频率为啸叫频率,其流场结构转化回同轴模态,啸叫频率对斜板的存在与否不敏感;啸叫频率随着压比的增加逐渐减小,其二次谐频在基频幅值较小的方向上会出现一个强声波辐射。      

A new method for finding electromagnetic emitter location

The position of a source of radiation is often obtained from bearing data, taken over an interval of time, and combining it with navigation data. A new method using total least squares (TLS) has been suggested for the accurate estimation of an emitter location when bearing observation errors are random. Further, an iterative two-stage approach involving TLS and Kalman filtering is developed for accurate estimation of the emitter location when bearing observation errors are an algebraic sum of random and systematic errors. The elegance and efficacy of the proposed methods are illustrated through digital computer simulated examples

Envelope Estimation of AM Signals Transmitted Through a Randomly Dispersive Medium

The problem of designing a Wiener filter for the optimum processing of amplitude-modulated (AM) signals transmitted through randomly dispersive media is discussed. Results are obtained that provide effective least-mean-squared-error estimation of the input message when errors which do not represent loss of information are neglected. These results, which differ appreciably from the results that obtain from a deterministic analysis, indicate that there are certain values of the propagation parameters which narrow the filter passband to such an extent that estimation is rendered ineffective.     

Target Detection and Parameter Estimation for MIMO Radar Systems

We investigate several target detection and parameter estimation techniques for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system. By transmitting independent waveforms via different antennas, the echoes due to targets at different locations are linearly independent of each other, which allows the direct application of many data-dependent beamforming techniques to achieve high resolution and excellent interference rejection capability. In the absence of array steering vector errors, we discuss the application of several existing data-dependent beamforming algorithms including Capon, APES (amplitude and phase estimation) and CAPES (combined Capon and APES), and then propose an alternative estimation procedure, referred to as the combined Capon and approximate maximum likelihood (CAML) method. Via several numerical examples, we show that the proposed CAML method can provide excellent estimation accuracy of both target locations and target amplitudes. In the presence of array steering vector errors, we apply the robust Capon beamformer (RCB) and doubly constrained robust Capon beamformer (DCRCB) approaches to the MIMO radar system to achieve accurate parameter estimation and superior interference and jamming suppression performance.     

基于超短基线声传感器阵的高速目标轨迹估计

针对低空高速飞行目标跟踪问题,首先研究了某典型目标噪声信号的时频特性,发现其信号呈现宽带低频特征,难以从频域对目标轨迹进行估计。在此基础上,从各路接收信号的到达时延量入手,考虑到声基阵只能布设于有限空间内的制约,提出了一种基于超短基线阵时延估计的目标跟踪方法。该方法利用各个超短基线阵接收声强极值点分别估计目标运动轨迹垂线方向,计算多个垂线的叉乘向量实现对目标运动方向的估计,再利用多面交汇的方式获估计得到目标运动轨迹。分别对目标俯仰角、方位角及运动轨迹估计的理论误差进行了推导,根据理论估计误差,为能够实现对目标运动轨迹的估计,各个超短基线阵应尽量保证与目标运动轨迹不在同一平面上。根据仿真结果,在采用4个传感器基阵时,角度估计平均误差在4°以内,位置估计相对误差在5%左右。仿真结果验证了该方法的有效性。     

Detection of random signals via spectrum matching

Using a priori knowledge of the signal power spectral density (PSD), a spectrum matching approach which effectively utilizes the available signal spectral shape is developed for random signal detection. Two spectrum matching detector (SMD) structures, which are implemented by correlogram and periodogram, respectively, are examined. Theoretical calculation of their false alarm rates is derived and confirmed by simulations. It is also demonstrated that the proposed detectors outperform the standard periodogram, Bartlett method, and energy detector under constant false alarm rate (CFAR) condition for two different random signals.     

Multipath mitigation method based on Gaussian mixture model in RF relative measurement

Radio Frequency (RF) technology represents a high-precision relative navigation solution that has significant potential for application to earth-orbiting satellites. In precision applications, multipath errors dominate the total error because observables, which are used to estimate carrier-phase integer ambiguity, are not always subject to a Gaussian distribution when dual-frequency ambiguity estimation methods are used in the presence of multipath. As it has been shown that ranging observables obey a Gaussian mixture distribution, this study proposes improvements to the accuracy of estimation based on multipath mitigation founded on the Gaussian mixture model. To this end, such a model is created for integer ambiguity resolution in the presence of multipath, using which the theoretical error in dual-frequency ambiguity estimation is derived. Expectation Maximization (EM), which aids dual-frequency ambiguity estimation, is subsequently proposed to reduce the effect of multipath errors. Finally, two experimental scenarios are implemented to test the performance of the proposed method. The results show that EM-aided dual-frequency ambiguity estimation reduces the range error to approximately 20% in comparison with simple dual-frequency ambiguity estimation. Therefore the proposed technique is effective for multipath mitigation in RF relative measurement.
