Spectrum Width Estimtes for Weather Echoes

Doppler spectrum width relates to wind shear and turbulence and thus is an important parameter which characterizes severe weather phenomena. The need to scan large volumes of space quickly and to obtain real-time estimates introduces stringent requirements on the signal processing. The Fourier transform and the autocovariance methods are candidate techniques. In particular, the autocovariance estimator is attractive due to low storgage and ease of computation. Statistics of an improved and asymptotically ubiased (for Gaussian spectra) autocovariance estimator of width are presented. Spurious effects on the complex video signal such as dc offsets and imbalances are assessed. Performance of the improved estimator on weather data is shown.

恶劣天气下的仿生偏振定向方法

针对偏振光导航在恶劣天气下精度显著下降的问题,提出了一种可以在恶劣天气下基于大气偏振模式的定向算法。与现有方法相比,首次将三维块匹配与canny边缘检测结合的思想应用于修复被不同天气破坏的偏振角度图像中。具体而言,将偏振角度图像的修复分为噪声粗处理和边缘提取处理去噪两部分。在噪声粗处理阶段采用三维块匹配算法,在边缘提取处理去噪部分,利用canny边缘检测算法对偏振角度图像进行二次去噪。实验结果表明,该方法不仅能够提高晴朗天空下的定向精度,而且能够显著提升在阴天、沙尘、雾霾等恶劣天气条件下的导航定向精度,即使在偏振角图像对称∞模式被破坏的情况下,航向角精度仍可由9.4470°提高到1.6859°。     

Effects of mutual coupling on the performance of STAP antennaarrays

The effect of mutual coupling on the performance of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) antenna arrays is investigated. A signal model that includes the effects of mutual coupling is derived and used to compute the optimum solution for the fully adaptive and a variety of partially adaptive algorithms. The simulations indicate that if the mutual coupling is not properly accounted for there is significant degradation of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). In addition, the clutter notch is widened resulting in a larger minimum detectable velocity (MDV) of the target. When the mutual coupling is properly accounted for, the performance can be restored to the ideal level. However, STAP algorithms, in general, are very sensitive to errors in the mutual coupling matrix, requiring a very complete knowledge of this matrix for good performance. Of all the algorithms considered here, beam space algorithms appear to be the most robust with respect to uncertainties in the mutual coupling matrix     

INS/GPS operational concept demonstration (OCD) High Gear program

On February 10, 1993 an Air Force F-16 dropped an INS/GPS modified GBU-15 from an altitude of 35,000 feet and a downrange distance of 88,000 feet in adverse weather. The guided weapon impacted within 6 meters of the target, demonstrating the potential of INS/GPS technology to significantly improve air-to-surface munitions strategies and tactics. This landmark flight was successfully followed by five additional drops with varying attitudes, downrange distances and weather conditions. OCD was designated an Air Force High Gear program, allowing streamlined acquisition and reporting procedures, in response to Operation Desert Storm experience highlighting the need for attacking high-value targets from high altitude in adverse weather. OCD met it's objective to build and demonstrate an INS/GPS weapon in an operationally representative environment. Results of the demonstration show there is low technical risk associated with development of INS/GPS munitions considered for the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) program     

Noise factor and antenna gains in the signal/noise equation for over-the-horizon radar

A recommended form of the signal-to-noise equation that includes both internal and external system noise and signal/noise processing losses is discussed. The recommended form conforms to the internationally accepted definition of system operating noise factor but is extended to include signal/noise processing. The predetection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a radar or communication system is proportional to the power gain of the transmit antenna and the directive gain of the receive antenna, and is inversely proportional to the operating noise factor of the receiving system. The operating noise factor is approximately equal to the product of the external noise factor and the signal/noise processing factor when the system is external noise limited, as is usually the case for over-the-horizon (OTH) radar.<>
