Survey and examination of an electromagnetic vacuum accelerating effect and its astrophysical consequences

A rigorous detailed review of the concepts and calculations behind the acceleration of particles by the electromagnetic zero-point field is presented. The acceleration is enhanced in regions of great size and low particle density. Astrophysical scenarios are suggested and discussed and cosmological possibilities are briefly outlined. It is shown that the acceleration follows both from a semiclassical approach in the manner of Stochastic Electrodynamics and from quantum theory with a zero-point field that most naturally (but not necessarily) may be interpreted as time-symmetric in the manner of the Wheeler-Feynman form of Quantum Electrodynamics. It is shown that both approaches yield essentially identical results.Glossary of Abbreviations ABT Absorber theory - ALE Abraham-Lorentz equation - AM Acceleration mechanism - BME Braffort-Marshall equation - CE Cosmic expansion - CED Classical electrodynamics - CR Cosmic rays - EAS Extensive air showers - EHD Einstein-Hopf drag - EHM Einstein-Hopf model - EM Electromagnetic electromagnetism - FT Field theory - GZ Greisen-Zatsepin - GZE Greisen-Zatsepin effect - HO Harmonic oscillator - IC Inverse-Compton - ICRC International cosmic-ray conference - IGM Intergalactic medium - IGS Intergalactic space - ISS Interstellar space - LDE Lorentz-Dirac equation - LHS Left-hand side - LI Lorentz-invariant - MB Maxwell-Boltzmann - QED Quantum electrodynamics - QM Quantum mechanics - RHS Right-hand side - RJ Rayleigh-Jeans - SE Schrödinger equation - SED Stochastic electrodynamics - SM Stochastic mechanics - SNR Supernova remnant - SS Solar system - UHE Ultrahigh energies - ZBW Zitterbewegung - ZPE Zero-point energy - ZPF Zero-point field - XRB X-ray background     

Sequence design for IIR inverse filter pulse compression

An infinite impulse response (IIR) inverse filter structure is presented, and compared with the performance of two finite impulse response (FIR) designs. The IIR design is shown to provide better performance and be able to improve further (e.g., -1.4 dB in sidelobe levels per unit delay increase for the length-13 Barker sequence) by increasing delay. The performance parameters of this IIR inverse filter suggest a design criterion for sequences on which the filter operates; that is related to the roots of the Z transform polynomial of the sequence. The sidelobe-optimal sequence derived according to this criterion is shown to provide sharper sidelobe reduction (-6 dB per unit delay increase for the sidelobe optimal length-13 sequence)     

On the Acquisition Behavior of Binary Delay-Lock Loops

Single-phase power-factor-correction AC/DC converters with threePWM control schemes

Three pulse-width modulation (PWM) control schemes for a single-phase power-factor-correction (PFC) AC/DC converter are presented to improve the power quality. A diode bridge with two power switches is employed as a PFC circuit to achieve a high power factor and low line current harmonic distortion. The control schemes are based on look-up tables with hysteresis current controller (HCC) to generate two-level or three-level PWM on the DC side of diode rectifier. Based on the proposed three control schemes, the line current is driven to follow the sinusoidal current command which is in phase with the supply voltage, and two capacitor voltages on the DC bus are controlled to be balanced. The simulation and experimental results of a 1 kW converter with load as well as line voltage variation and shown to verify the proposed control schemes. It is shown that unity PFC is achieved using a simple control circuit and the measured line current harmonics satisfy the IEC 1000-3-2 requirements

Transient Response of Tracking Filters with Randomly Interrupted Data

The transient responses during the initialization phase of a first-order ?-? tracking filter and a second-order Kalman filter are evaluated as a function of radar measurement accuracy and the probability of receiving valid data at the prescribed intervals. Monte Carlo simulation results are complemented by analysis of the filtering processes and curves are presented which clearly define the deterioration in filter performance attributable to reduced probabilities of data acquisition. In addition, the responses of ?-? and Kalman filters are shown to be identical when the ?, ? gains are selected optimally.     

Comments on "Receiver antenna scan rate requirements needed to implement pulse chasing in a bistatic radar receiver"

PWM full-bridge converter with natural input power factor correction

A pulsewidth modulated (PWM) full-bridge converter that simultaneously performs input power factor correction (PFC) and DC-DC conversion is proposed. The converter is the same as the standard voltage-fed PWM full-bridge converter with a diode-bridge low-pass filter front end, but with a slight modification that results in an improvement in power factor that is sufficient to satisfy the EN61000-3-2 requirements for electrical equipment. The operation of the converter is explained and analyzed, and the results of the analysis are used to determine the converter's steady-state characteristics, which are discussed in detail. A design procedure for the selection of components is then derived and demonstrated with an example. The feasibility of the converter and its ability to satisfy EN61000-3-2 requirements on electrical equipment is shown with results obtained from an experimental prototype.

Radio observations of Venus and the interpretations

The radio observations of Venus are reviewed and compared with theoretical microwave spectra computed for a variety of models of the Venusian environment. The models considered are (a) a CO₂-N₂ atmosphere, (b) an atmosphere of dust (the aeolosphere model), and (c) a cloud model with various loss mechanisms in the cloud. The effect of polarization on the surface emissivity has been included in all the computations. It is shown how the radio observations place limits upon the acceptable models, for example, the density and size of dust particles required in the aeolosphere model. It is shown how some models place severe restrictions on radar observations at short centimeter wavelengths, thereby emphasizing the importance of such experiments. These same models show that the Mariner II observations can not be interpreted in terms of surface phenomena and provide a new interpretation for the microwave phase effect.This work was supported in part by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force under Contract DA36-039-AMC-03200(E); and in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Grants NsG-250-62 and NsG-419).

Convergence properties of Gram-Schmidt and SMI adaptive algorithms.II

For pt.I see ibid., vol.26, no.1, p.44-56, Jan. 1990. Theorems and relationships associated with the convergence rate of the Gram-Schmidt (GS) and sampled matrix inversion (SMI) algorithms are presented. Two forms of the GS canceler are discussed: concurrent block processing and sliding window processing. It is shown (as has been stated by other researchers) that the concurrent block processed GS canceler converges rapidly to its optimal signal-to-noise ratio. However, it is also shown that the result is deceptive in that the output residue samples may be highly correlated, which would significantly degrade postdetection processing. It is demonstrated that a specific form of a sliding window GS canceler has the same convergence properties as the concurrent block processed GS canceler     

Detection of weak, subpixel targets using mesh-connected cellularautomata

Effective use of military cellular automata such as military data array processor (MilDAP) and geometric arithmetic parallel processor (GAPP), in weak, subpixel target detection is shown to be possible by using new signal processing regimes based on binary ranking filter theory. By using binary ranking filters, the MilDAP can furnish 6 dB of processing gain against white Gaussian noise while monitoring from one to four million potential target tracks at 10-40 frames/s. GAPP is shown to be capable of monitoring 3.7 million tracks over 216×384 detectors at 14000 frames/s and, in a time sharing mode, 15 million tracks over 432×768 detectors at 24 frames/s. The special case of threatening targets is discussed, as well as alternate cellular architectures which use multidimensional binary ranking filters in multidimensional coordinate systems
