利用机载GNSS-R的有效波高反演技术

采用自主研发的多源多宿GNSS-R(Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflections,全球导航卫星系统反射信号)海洋环境遥感探测系统,在天津渤海湾特定区域进行了3次机载校飞试验,获得了大量有效GNSS-R信号数据,对自然条件下的海面有效波高进行了反演处理。该系统通过对接收的GNSS直达信号和海面反射信号进行相关运算处理,可以获得DDM(Delay-Doppler Mapping,时延—多普勒映射)图谱,再利用DCF(Derivative of the Correlation Function,相关函数的导数)在DDM图谱基础上进行相关功率波形的计算,进而通过计算DCF的函数波形宽度得到海面有效波高,验证了该方法的可行性。该方法具有全天时、全天候、高分辨率、低成本等优点,对全球范围内中小尺度海洋状态和物理现象的监测具有重要意义。     

航电系统安全性分析工具设计与研究

随着航电系统综合化程度的不断提高,传统的安全性分析方法过于依赖工程经验,难以保证失效模式的完备性。同时在系统迭代设计的过程中,由于系统的复杂性,会导致安全性分析工作量过大,增加了时间及经济成本。针对上述问题,设计了一种自动化安全性分析工具,基于Sys ML描述语言建立安全性数据模型,采用路径追溯的方法完成故障树自动建模,并对生成的故障树进行共模分析和区域安全性分析。以某系统为例的实验结果表明,该工具能够实现故障树自动建模与分析,提高了安全性分析的效率和完备性。     

L波段数字航空通信系统研究

随着全球航空运输的发展,空中交通管制与航空公司运控等航空业务对航空通信系统的数据传输速率、频谱利用率、航空通信网容量等性能提出了更高的要求。虽然现阶段基于甚高频的航空通信系统得到了迅速的发展,但仍受限于标准体制、技术壁垒等因素,难以满足持续增长的运行需求。L波段数字航空通信（L-band digital aeronautical communication system,L-DACS）数据链技术作为新一代航空通信系统的预选方案,是有效解决频谱资源饱和难题、满足高速率传输需求的有效途径。本文在总结L-DACS数据链技术发展现状的基础上,阐述了该通信系统现阶段的技术标准,分析了L-DACS发展所面临的挑战,提出了对应的发展建议,为面向航空宽带通信L-DACS的研究提供了参考与借鉴。     

Modeling of ionospheric scintillation at low-latitude

The presence and movement of plasma density fluctuations in the F-region of the ionosphere are studied by monitoring phase and amplitude of radio waves propagating through the region. In this paper, we have used weak scattering theory and assumed the plasma density fluctuations to behave like phase changing diffraction screen. Appropriate relations for scintillation index S₄, and phase variance δ? are derived and computed for different parameters of the plasma density irregularities of the ionosphere. SROSS-C2 satellite in situ measurements of plasma density fluctuations, which provide direct information about the structure and morphology of irregularities that are responsible for scintillation of radio waves, were used first time to develop a scintillation model for low latitude. It is observed that the scintillation index S₄ and phase variance δ? depends on the strength of the plasma turbulence. Finally, the results obtained from modeling are compared and discussed with the available recent results.     

Attitude control system of the first Russian nanosatellite <Emphasis Type="Italic">TNS-0 no. 1</Emphasis>

The results of designing the attitude control system of the first Russian nanosatellite TNS-0 no. 1 providing orientation of its longitudinal axis along the local geomagnetic field induction vector are presented. The system consists of a permanent magnet and two sets of hysteresis rods. The magnetic and geometric parameters of the magnet and rods are calculated. The influence of the permanent magnet field on the hysteresis rods and mutual influence of the rods in the case of compact satellite packaging are analyzed. Examples of calculations of transient processes and steady-state angular satellite motion are presented.     

Difference schemes in computations for chemically non-equilibrium processes in the rocket engine nozzles

The problem of determining the “potential” number of integration steps by explicit difference schemes is solved within the framework of the prediction model for chemically non-equilibrium processes.     

The Juno Waves Investigation

Jupiter is the source of the strongest planetary radio emissions in the solar system. Variations in these emissions are symptomatic of the dynamics of Jupiter’s magnetosphere and some have been directly associated with Jupiter’s auroras. The strongest radio emissions are associated with Io’s interaction with Jupiter’s magnetic field. In addition, plasma waves are thought to play important roles in the acceleration of energetic particles in the magnetosphere, some of which impact Jupiter’s upper atmosphere generating the auroras. Since the exploration of Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere is a major objective of the Juno mission, it is appropriate that a radio and plasma wave investigation is included in Juno’s payload. This paper describes the Waves instrument and the science it is to pursue as part of the Juno mission.
