The Distributed CO in Comet Halley

Examination of the spatial distribution of CO intensity of Comet Halley indicates that a large fraction of CO originates from the refractory organic component in the coma, rather than directly from the volatiles in the nucleus. Based on the fluffy aggregate interstellar dust comet model, we have estimated the upper limits of the total amount of CO provided by coma dust. The implications from the comparison of the predicted results with the observed value have been discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Time delay estimation with multiple looks in colored Gaussian noise

We present an efficient algorithm for high resolution time delay estimation in colored Gaussian noise with multiple looks. By using a relaxation-based optimization approach and exploiting the Toeplitz property of the noise covariance matrix, the enhanced new algorithm can achieve the corresponding Cramer-Rao bounds (CRBs) with a very small number of independent looks

Super resolution SAR imaging via parametric spectral estimationmethods

Super resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation via sophisticated parametric spectral estimation algorithms is considered. Parametric spectral estimation methods are devised based on parametric data models and are used to estimate the model parameters. Since SAR images rather than model parameters are often used in SAR applications, we use the parameter estimates obtained with the parametric methods to simulate data matrices of large dimensions and then use the fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods on them to generate SAR images with super resolution. Experimental examples using the MSTAR and Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) data illustrate that robust spectral estimation algorithms can generate SAR images of higher resolution than the conventional FFT methods and enhance the dominant target features     

An interior point linear programming approach to two-scan dataassociation

We present an efficient two-scan data association method (TSDA) based on an interior point linear programming (LP) approach. In this approach, the TSDA problem is first formulated as a 3-dimensional assignment problem, and then relaxed to a linear program; the latter is subsequently solved by the highly efficient homogeneous, self-dual interior point LP algorithm. When the LP algorithm generates a fractional optimal solution, we use a technique similar to the joint probabilistic data association method (JPDA) to compute a weighted average of the resulting fractional assignments, and use it to update the states of the existing tracks generated by Kalman filters. Unlike the traditional single scan JPDA method, our TSDA method provides an explicit mechanism for track initiation. Extensive computer simulations have demonstrated that the new TSDA method is not only far more efficient in terms of low computational complexity, but also considerably more accurate than the existing single-scan JPDA method     

Military avionics optical fiber data buses with active-couplerconfigurations

Military avionics optical fiber data buses of high reliability are discussed. Because Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) have better temperature performance and require less complex driver circuits than laser diodes, the former is normally chosen as an optical source in the severe aircraft environment at present. In this case, optical power budget becomes a critical factor which can significantly limit the number of terminals in a data bus. To effectively solve this problem while maintaining a high reliability, we present several configurations of all-active couplers and hybrid passive/active couplers for avionics optical fiber data buses using PIN photodiodes and LED's. The system design is also described, which incorporates a modulation scheme called partial trilevel Manchester II bi-phase coding

求解气动弹性系统动态特性的一种近似方法

当考虑非定常气动力作用时,欲获得弹性飞机在任意状态下结构运动特性是甚为困难的。多年来国内外学者在这方面做了大量工作,提出了许多解决这一问题的方法。例如,p法,V-g法,p-k法,增广状态法和作图法等。它们具有各自的特点,也有其局限性。V-g法是求解颤振问题的一种简便有效且常用的方法。然而,人们通常认为V-g法只能给出颤振临界状态的动态特性及其邻域的近似特性,不能满意地给出任意状态下的动态特性。按飞行力学的观点,往往关心飞行速度小于颤振临界速度状态下的特
