Joint calibration algorithm for gain-phase and mutual coupling errors in uniform linear array

The effect of gain-phase perturbations and mutual coupling significantly degrades the performance of digital array radar (DAR). This paper investigates array calibration problems in the scenario where the true locations of auxiliary sources deviate from nominal values but the angle intervals are known. A practical algorithm is proposed to jointly calibrate gain-phase errors and mutual coupling errors. Firstly, a simplified model of the distortion matrix is developed based on its special structure in uniform linear array (ULA). Then the model is employed to derive the precise locations of the auxiliary sources by one-dimension search. Finally, the least-squares estimation of the distortion matrix is obtained. The algorithm has the potential of achieving considerable improvement in calibration accuracy due to the reduction of unknown parameters. In addition, the algorithm is feasible for practical applications, since it requires only one auxiliary source with the help of rotation platforms. Simulation results demonstrate the validity, robustness and high per-formance of the proposed algorithm. Experiments were carried out using an S-band DAR test-bed. The results of measured data show that the proposed algorithm is practical and effective in appli-cation.

航天用反作用飞轮旋转变压器位置检测算法

目前,航天用反作用飞轮大多采用霍尔传感器或光电码盘进行测速。但是,霍尔传感器在反作用飞轮低速运行时精度相对较低,光电编码器的环境适应性相对较弱。基于此,提出了一种使用旋转变压器检测反作用飞轮转子位置的方法。但如果在现有飞轮控制电路中额外使用旋转变压器专用解码芯片,会导致成本大大提高,故提出了使用控制电路中的FPGA进行解码的方法。首先,介绍了旋转变压器的工作原理,通过求解反三角函数获得转子位置。其次,介绍了传统坐标旋转数字计算机(Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer,CORDIC)算法。最后,针对传统CORDIC算法无法求解完整平面角度值问题,提出了一种改进型CORDIC算法求解转子位置,并给出了一种能够减少硬件使用资源的全流水线CORDIC阵列结构。通过Modelsim仿真,证明了所提出的方法具有占用资源较少、延迟低、测量精度较高等优点,在反作用飞轮测速应用中具有良好前景。

Comparisons of foF2 with IRI model and equatorial vertical drifts

Measurements of the critical frequency, foF2 recorded over Ibadan: 7.4°N, 3.9°E (geographic), 6°S (dip angle) have been compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2007) model for solar maximum geomagnetically quiet conditions, with a view to determining what modifications might bring about better predictions for the model. Our results reveal that the present version of IRI essentially reproduces diurnal trends and the general features of the experimental observations for all seasons, except for nighttime June solstice periods, which the model seriously overestimated. The model errors ranging from 50% to 125% over the four seasons considered in this study. It is also indicated that the percentage relative deviations between the observed and the modeled values vary approximately from −11% to 12% (March), −34% to 11% (June), −16% to 12% (September), and −10% to 13% (December). An unexpected feature of foF2 is obvious and remarkable reduction in values during nighttime June solstice periods compared to that in other seasons. Relationship between equatorial vertical drift and foF2 is also investigated. However, cross correlation analysis reveals strong anti-correlation between vertical drift and critical frequency during the daytime hours, but exceptionally opposite is the case for the nighttime sector. The discrepancies which are noted, particularly during June solstice season are attributed to processes most likely within the thermosphere and from meteorological influences during quiet magnetic conditions.

稀疏孔阵层板冷却结构的主要参数影响数值研究

针对燃烧室火焰筒的气动热力条件,在给定的单位壁面面积冷却空气质量流量下,通过数值模拟较为系统地研究了稀疏孔阵层板结构主要参数对冷却性能的影响,冲击孔、扰流柱和气膜孔数之比为1∶10∶1。在本文研究的结构参数范围内,气膜孔和冲击孔直径对于层板的综合冷却效果和压降影响相对较大,增大气膜孔直径有利于改善综合冷却效果并降低冷却气流通过层板的压力损失,增大冲击孔直径虽降低了冷却气流压力损失但同时也导致综合冷却效果有一定的减弱;射流冲击间距和扰流柱直径的改变对压力损失影响甚微,扰流柱直径增加可以提升层板综合冷却效果,小射流冲击间距比的层板综合冷却效果略优。
