Bubble detector characterization for space radiation

In light of the importance of the neutron contribution to the dose equivalent received by space workers in the near-Earth radiation environment, there is an increasing need for a personal dosimeter that is passive in nature and able to respond to this neutron field in real time. Recent Canadian technology has led to the development of a bubble detector, which is sensitive to neutrons, but insensitive to low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation. By changing the composition of the bubble detector fluid (or “superheat”), the detectors can be fabricated to respond to different types of radiation. This paper describes a preliminary ground-based research effort to better characterize the bubble detectors of different compositions at various charged-particle accelerator facilities, which are capable of simulating the space radiation field.     

用于大斜视角合成孔径雷达成像的时变步进变换算法

大斜视角合成孔径雷达（SAR）成像可用于一些特定的应用场合，如提供与视看角有关的散射信息及重访所感兴趣的区域的场合。现有的SAR成像算法很难直接应用于大斜视角结构，这是因为在信号中的大的距离单元徒动及不可忽略的三次相位项。本文提出了一种改进的算法，称作时变步进变换算法，它采用不同的线性调频（Chirp）率对不同的子孔径中的信号进行去斜坡处理以缓解距离聚焦问题，子孔径之间的间隔也随去斜坡的线性调频率的变化而变化，且在聚焦过程中包括了不可忽视的的三次相位项。所提出的算法在大斜视角模式时性能优良，通过在斜视角增大时缩短子径长度，可使算法的性能几乎与斜视角无关。此外，所提出的算法对于多视处理与运动误差补偿也是灵活的。     

基于Hough变换的多传感器,多目标航迹起始方法

在相关技术文献中，认为Ｈｏｕｇｈ变换是一种有效的航迹起始方法，然而，迄今为止，大多数论文主要研究Ｈｏｕｇｈ变换方法在单传感、单目标且无杂波背景这种简单的场合中的运用，我们详细地给出了一种将Ｈｏｕｇｈ变换应用到多目标、多传感器数据关联与航迹起始问题的方法，这种方法分两级进行，首先，分别在不同的Ｈｏｕｇｈ空间中检测方位与距离透迹，然后对确定这些透迹的测量进行关联，用于航迹检测与起始，这种方法的有效性已 过几个全面的，综合的仿真场景得到验证。     

信息战对机载电子信息系统发展的影响

信息战概念是近年来提出的全新的作战概念,信息战概念的提出将会使未来的军事战略环境和作战模式发生显著的变化,将对军事电子信息系统提出新的、非常严格的要求。新的信息战概念的提出对机载电子信息系统的现代化将产生深刻的、长远的影响。     

光学系统的偏振分析

对于大多数光学系统，一般都假设透射波面具有均匀的振幅（或高斯型振幅）和恒定的偏振态。这是几何光学的不完善假设。文中讨论的方法，适合于分析这种假设不能成立的系统。文中所讨论的偏振分析法包括了偏振光线追迹和偏振像差论。文中还讨论了偏振现象的基本分类定义，并述评了琼斯（Ｊｏｎｅｓ）计算法，以此作为讨论的基础。     

Using Spacelab as a precursor of science operations for the Space Station

For more than 15 years, Spacelab, has provided a laboratory in space for an international array of experiments, facilities, and experimenters. In addition to continuing this important work, Spacelab is now serving as a crucial stepping-stone to the improved science, improved operations, and rapid access to space that will characterize International Space Station. In the Space Station era, science operations will depend primarily on distributed/remote operations that will allow investigators to direct science activities from their universities, facilities, or home bases. Spacelab missions are a crucial part of preparing for these activities, having been used to test, prove, and refine remote operations over several missions. The knowledge gained from preparing these Missions is also playing a crucial role in reducing the time required to put an experiment into orbit, from revolutionizing the processes involved to testing the hardware needed for these more advanced operations. This paper discusses the role of the Spacelab program and the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center- (MSFC-) managed missions in developing and refining remote operations, new hardware and facilities for use on Space Station, and procedures that dramatically reduce preparation time for flight.
