时频域联合校正的PN码相干捕获算法

受多普勒频偏和本地时钟漂移的影响,接收信号中存在频偏且码字不同步。针对该问题,提出一种时频域联合校正的PN码相干捕获算法。从接收信号的循环平稳特性出发,进行载波频率和码字同步的联合校正,使校正后的信号与本地PN信号具有近似相干性。基于设计的相关特征函数,实现较长相关长度下的相干检测,完成PN码捕获。仿真结果表明,该算法在低信噪比、大频偏条件下,具有较高的检测概率。

脉冲多普勒雷达中补零FFT与折叠FFT的性能比较

脉冲多普勒雷达中相干脉冲数经常不是2的整数幂,当进行FFT时需要尾部补零或脉冲折叠。本文推导了补零FFT与折叠FFT的解析关系,发现抽取前者的偶数号频点得到后者;计算了两种FFT的跨越损失,因为上述抽取关系,折叠FFT的跨越损失更大。另外,在统计意义上补零FFT的虚警数是折叠FFT的2倍,为使两者的虚警数相同,要求补零FFT的检测门限高于折叠FFT的检测门限。计算发现,两个门限仅相差0.16～0.32dB。

Uniting Local and Global Controllers with Robustness to Vanishing Noise

We consider control systems for which we know two stabilizing controllers. One is globally asymptotically stabilizing, the other one is only locally asymptotically stabilizing but for some reason we insist on using it in a neighborhood of the origin. We look for a uniting control law being equal to the local feedback on a neighborhood of the origin, equal to the global one outside of a larger neighborhood and being a globally stabilizing controller. We study several solutions based on continuous, discontinuous, hybrid, time-varying controllers. One criterion of the selection of a controller is the robustness of the stability to vanishing noise. This leads us in particular to consider a kind of generalization of Krasovskii trajectories for hybrid systems. Date received: November 29, 1999. Date revised: August 7, 2000.

Evaluation of thermal conductivity from temperature profiles

A new dynamic technique for the measurement of thermal conductivity is being developed at IMGC. The experiment consists in bringing the specimen to high temperatures with a current pulse and in measuring the temperature profiles during the free cooling period. Different techniques can be used to extract the information on thermal conductivity from the profiles. The numerical computation of thermal conductivity from the experimental temperature profiles in absolute space is possible, but it is difficult and cumbersome because one must know and take into the account the exact position of the infinitesimal elements of the specimen in different profiles. Computations in tube-space (a fictitious space where no thermal expansion occurs) are simpler and lead to less complex numerical computations. Complementary techniques to evaluate thermal conductivity as a function of temperature or at constant temperature are presented with a discussion of advantages and disadvantages of each method. Computer simulations have tested the precision of the complex software. Numerically generated temperature profiles from known thermophysical properties have been obtained and thermal conductivity has been recomputed from the profiles. The relative difference using different computational approaches and different fitting functions is always less than 0.1%.Paper presented at the Third Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, September 17–18, 1992, Graz, Austria.     

The transient regime of a multiwavelength pyrometer

The transient operation of a new multiwavelength pyrometer based on a dispersing prism and a Si photodiode array is presented. After calibration, transient tests were performed using a tungsten strip lamp, supplied by a current pulse of 0.3-s duration. Measurements were carried out with a data acquisition system consisting of a FET multiplexer, a DVM (14 bit, 100 kHz), and a buffer memory (64 kbytes). Pyrometer signals are processed off-line, and temperature vs time is displayed. With the present arrangement, temperature measurements at 20 wavelengths may be performed with 200s resolution. Faster measurements are possible with a reduced number of channels.Paper presented at the Third Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, September 17–18, 1992, Graz, Austria.Deceased
