柔性热膜剪应力传感器水下测量温度修正

柔性热膜微传感器应用于流体壁面剪应力测量时,流体温度对传感器输出有很大影响,因此有必要对工作在非标定温度下的传感器输出信号进行修正补偿。重点研究了水下测量时传感器输出与水温的关系以及温度修正方法。通过分析传感器过热比和流体物理性质与温度的相关性,建立了流体温度与传感器过热比和标定系数的函数关系。在此基础上,提出了一种用于水下剪应力测量的温度修正方法,可以有效减小水温对传感器输出的影响。经实验验证,该方法可以使工作在25℃、28℃水温环境下的传感器输出值与其20℃标定值的相对误差从23．7％和37．1％回落到0．82％和0．83％。     

Acquisition in phase demodulation: application to ranging inradar/sonar systems

Ranging in radar/sonar systems is cast as a phase/frequency detection problem. In phase/frequency demodulation, there are two stages: acquisition, which resolves the global prior uncertainty before phase/frequency locking; and tracking, which follows the phase/frequency variations. In this work, ranging corresponds to absolute phase acquisition formulated as a global nonlinear filtering problem. The proposed solution propagates the associated multimodal density and generates a process relating global covariance with the single modes common covariance. Acquisition is then defined as the first passage of this process across a given threshold. Statistics such as acquisition time histograms and acquisition performance, characterizing the behavior of the developed estimator/detector, are obtained by Monte Carlo simulations     

Gating Functions for Multipath Mitigation in GNSS BOC Signals

A new multipath mitigation technique is proposed for binary offset carrier (BOC) signals in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) using the concept of gating function originally conceived for the GPS coarse-acquisition (C/A) code. Specially-tailored pulses are utilized to diminish the number of false-lock points of the code discriminator response and to improve the multipath mitigation capability. The code loop includes only four real correlators (two extra correlators are required for the simplified bump-jumping algorithm with BOC(n,n) signals). Results obtained with BOC(n,n) and BOC(2n,n) signals show that this technique eliminates the multipath ranging errors for reflected rays with relative delays typically above twenty percent of the spreading code chip duration, thus comparing favorably with the conventional receiver correlation techniques.
