Optimum Alignment of an Inertial Autonavigator

The performance of an inertial autonavigator can only be as good as the accuracy to which the system is initially aligned. Optical methods of alignment can be performed with high precision; however, this technique requires external equipment and is subject to some physical constraints, such as land-based operation. The general problem discussed here is the use of an automatic azimuth alignment technique known as gyrocompassing. In the use of the gyrocompassing technique to obtain azimuth alignment, accuracies are degraded considerably by two dominant error sources, the level axis controlling gyro drift rate and the imperfections of reference or independent velocity information. Consequently, an optimum performance controller is developed for driving the system in this mechanization and is based on a priori knowledge of the second-order statistics of the system error sources. The performance criteria will be to minimize the mean square azimuth error.

Noise analysis of a digital tanlock loop

The noise performance analysis of a nonuniform digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), called the digital tanlock loop (DTL), is investigated by both analytic and computer-simulation methods. The results are presented in terms of phase error probability mass function and mean time to skip cycle versus input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These results are compared to the ones obtained with the conventional sinusoidal DPLL loop (DPLL). It is found that, for low-to-moderate input SNR, the DTL has only a slight improvement over the DPLL. The DTL, however, has larger linear characteristics than the conventional DPLL, which makes it attractive for applications that require an increased tracking range or as a first stage in carrier tracking systems based on optimum estimation procedures such as a Kalman smoother     

Second-order acceleration models for an MMAE target tracker

The performance of a multiple model adaptive estimator (MMAE) for an enhanced correlator/forward-looking-infrared tracker for airborne targets is analyzed in order to improve its performance. Performance evaluation is based on elemental filter selection and MMAE estimation error sizes and trends. The elemental filters are based on either first or second-order acceleration models. Improved filter selection is achieved by using acceleration models that separate the frequency content of acceleration power spectral densities into non-overlapping regions with second-order models versus the more traditional overlapping regions with first-order models. A revised tuning method is presented. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) versus the Bayesian MMAE is investigated. The calculation of the hypothesis probability calculation is altered to see how performance is affected. The impact of the ad hoc selection of a lower bound on the elemental filter probability calculation to prevent filter lockout is evaluated. Parameter space discretization is investigated

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.     

Threshold Investigation of Phase-Locked Discriminators

This paper is primarily an investigaton of a second-order phased-locked loop in the threshold region, with the loop filter chosen as (1/1+?s) or (1+?1s/1+?s). First-order loop results are also given. Effects of loop parameters, detuning error, and modulation are studied. It is shown that the loop with filter (1+?1s/1+?s) can be built two ways with same bandwidth and damping. One loop gives much better threshold than the other. The analytical results are supported by computer simulation as well as experimental work obtained by hardware simulation of the loop.     

Application of the Volterra Series to the Analysis and Design of an Angle Track Loop

A typical function of an angle tracking loop is to keep a radar antenna pointed at a target. The error in pointing is directly related to successful operation of the tracking device; therefore, its behavior is of interest. For a tracker with a general polynomial nonlinearity, an arbitrary initial pointing error, and a bounded deterministic input, a method is developed for finding upper bounds on the magnitude of the tracking error using Volterra series techniques. Convergence regions of the Volterra series are also obtained. Applications of these results are made to a second-order tracking device.     

基于冗余伪观测的自适应滤波算法

现有的二阶互差分(SOMD)算法能够给出与状态估计误差解耦的观测噪声协方差估计，但是需要满足冗余测量的条件，但这一条件往往难以满足。 针对这一问题，提出了一种利用状态预测值构造相邻2个时刻伪观测的方法，将原SOMD算法扩展到具有单测量的系统中。使用目标跟踪问题对该算法的有效性进行验证。仿真结果表明，当采样周期较小时，该算法能够忽略状态估计误差的影响并给出较准确的观测噪声方差，在精度和鲁棒性方面优于其他参考算法。

为了能够实现对齿面啮合性能的灵活控制,针对弧齿锥齿轮小轮提出一种齿面拓扑修形方法,即借助二阶曲面对齿面偏差拓扑的近似表达,将齿面拓扑修形分解为5个方向:螺旋角修正、压力角修正、齿长曲率修正、齿廓曲率修正及齿面挠率修正,通过改变5个方向的修形系数对小轮齿面拓扑结构进行自由控制。在此基础上,建立齿面偏差与机床加工参数之间的修正数学模型,通过构建敏感性矩阵并采用最小二乘法求解,反求出获得修形齿面的小轮加工参数,以便指导加工。以一对弧齿锥齿轮副为例进行修形啮合分析,仿真结果表明:选取齿长曲率修形系数为0.0001,齿廓曲率修形系数为0.0005,齿面挠率修形系数为0.0003,对齿面进行拓扑修形后传动误差幅值为-25.60″,接触迹线倾斜角度变为54.7°,相比原始结果啮合性能得到改善。滚检接触区与理论仿真结果一致,验证了修形方法的有效性。      

Effects of CW Interference on Narrow-Band Second-Order Phase-Lock Loops

This paper describes an experimental study of the effect of continuous wave (CW) interference and white noise on a second-order phase-lock loop. The reciprocal of the loop mean-square phase error is used as an index of performance, and the effect of interference levels that do not cause cycle skipping or loss of lock is described in terms of this index. Loop thresholds are determined by measurement of cycle-skipping rates. Stationary or slowly-sweeping CW interference caused a degradation in loop threshold of roughly 3 dB for every 6 dB of interference power above the noise power level. The effective loop signal-to-noise ratio was decreased approximately 1 dB at interference-to-noise power ratios of -3 dB. Interference levels equal to the signal level consistently caused loss of lock, regardless of the loop signal-to-noise ratio.     

Propagation and System Accuracy Impact of Major Sensor Errors on a Strapdown Aircraft Navigator

A strapdown system is considered as an unaided inertial navigator aboard an aircraft. Presented here are simulation results detailing the propagation of navigation errors (in nautical miles) due to strapdown sensor errors for four trajectories. They indicate the type of performance that can be expected from a strapdown system utilizing good ?off the shelf? gyros and accelerometers, and dramatically illustrate the improvements necessary in these components to obtain navigation performance comparable to that available from a good gimballed inertial system. The total navigation error for each trajectory is broken down to show the contribution from each of the various error sources. This breakdown quickly reveals which are the critical error sources for a given trajectory class, and also points up the relationship that exists between each individual error source, aircraft maneuvers, and the resulting navigation error. Several of the error mechanisms are discussed at length and a set of linearized differential equations which can be used to analyze error propagations is presented. These results should be of particular interest to the system designer who is faced with the problem of specifying the sensor error parameters necessary to meet mission performance requirements. With an analysis similar to the one presented here, but structured around his own expected mission trajectories, the designer should be able to confidently predict system accuracies and intelligently perform tradeoffs on the critical system parameters.
