      2010, 8(3):251-256.

      Abstract (6080) HTML (0) PDF 489.56 K (5267) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest(Hybrid ARQ) which is an excellent error control technique has been accepted as a key technique of 3GPP Long Term Evolution(LTE). Hybrid ARQ scheme based on Rate Compatible Punctured Turbo(RCPT) codes has outstanding performance and low implementation complexity, therefore this scheme has attracted wide concern. Traditional Hybrid ARQ schemes consist of Chase Combining based Hybrid ARQ(CC-HARQ) which has greater performance gain under higher channel SNR; and IR(Incremental Redundancy) based Hybrid ARQ which provides precise rate control under lower channel SNR. This paper proposes an Adaptive Selective Combining Hybrid ARQ(ASC-HARQ) which adaptively chooses CC-HARQ or IR-HARQ according to different channel SNR, while the receiver adaptively combines selected code blocks with high reliability. This paper analyzes the scheme’s performance in Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results are given to compare the performance of this novel scheme with that of CC-HARQ and IR-HARQ. According to the simulation results, this scheme performs better than traditional schemes with similar complexity.

    • A method for producing dense false-signal

      2010, 8(3):261-264.

      Abstract (6280) HTML (0) PDF 419.57 K (4345) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Dense false-target jamming can implement effective blanket jamming on radar. This kind of jamming can make radar too busy to process true target, even bring on the saturation of radar signal processing. Time-delay and overlap-add techniques or convolution technique can produce dense false-signal, nevertheless they consume more resource. A new method for producing dense false-signal— compartmentalization and regroupment is proposed in the paper. This method does not include multiplication operation that needs more time and storage. It is related only to pulse width and has nothing to do with the number of false targets. Simulation and experiment results have proved the validity of this method.

    • Technology of track deception for cooperative control of multiple

      2010, 8(3):265-268.

      Abstract (5798) HTML (0) PDF 354.55 K (4814) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:With the extensive application of data fusion technology,it is quite easy for the network of radars to identify track deception against single radar. The stealthy Electronic Combat Air Vehicles(ECAV) equipped with Electronic Counter Measures(ECM) can deceive a radar by using range delay deception technique. This make the radar detect a fake target called phantom beyond the ECAV location. Phantom track is generated by using sequential location of phantom. The important feature of generating phantom track is its kinematic and dynamic constraints. These constraints restrict the freedom of phantom. This paper presents a technology used by the cooperative control of a team of ECAV to deceive network of radars through the generation of a space-time coherent phantom track.The equation of motion and the constraints of the phantom are given. Some approaches to solve the technical problems are described. Simulation results of the optimal control algorithm prove the feasibility and practicability of this method.

      Abstract (6415) HTML (0) PDF 386.53 K (4539) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method was used to calculate the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR) of a quasi-Yagi antenna. The model of the antenna was created and the mesh was generated by using model describing file. To simplify the calculating program, a Uniaxial anisotropic Perfectly Matched Layer(UPML) region was divided into six sub-regions and sub-regional symmetry was taken into account. The voltage source with lumped resistance was as excitation in the program. At last, VSWR was obtained by separating input voltage from total. A prototype quasi-Yagi antenna was fabricated and measured. The simulation result approximated to the measurement result, which proved the method had been correct.

      Abstract:In order to satisfy the encryption requirements of radar system data transfer, the Counter (CTR) mode of Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) was modified into a stream cipher. Through structure folding and module reuse, the resource utilization was reduced and the throughput was increased. In Spartan3 FPGA, 276.53 Mbps throughput could be achieved only by using 728 slices. The resource-saving pure logic mode and high-speed distributed memory mode were implemented in the design. On-the-fly key scheduling and pipeline were also performed, which led to high throughput and security level. The real-life test showed the design had satisfied the requirements of radar signal encryption, which revealed a great potential of stream mode AES in radar signal transmission.

      Abstract (6042) HTML (0) PDF 842.55 K (4378) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to provide the data source for the research of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR) system,a novel InSAR simulator was studied,which consisted of the Raw Signal Level (RSL),the Single-look-complex Image Level(SIL),and the Interferometric Phase Level(IPL). This simulator could be applied to the Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)/InSAR data simulation of both spaceborne and airborne. A new model of complex backscattering coefficients for the InSAR data simulation was presented and validated. Furthermore the implementation details of the multilevel simulator were discussed. For the RSL,a new model with higher computation efficiency to generate the radar echo was proposed,benefitting from the symmetry of the signal generation,the multi-core technique of CPU and many-core technique of Graphic Processing Units(GPU). For the image level,an efficient approach to create single-look image pair was presented. For the IPL,a reasonable noise model related to geometric decorrelation was also proposed. Some meaningful results by the novel simulator verified the theoretical analysis.

      2010, 8(3):286-289.

      Abstract (5242) HTML (0) PDF 279.76 K (4843) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To quantitatively evaluate the de-noising effects of different wavelet functions on the electrocardiogram(ECG) signal,a noisy ECG model was constructed as an experimental standard signal,which was processed by orthogonal wavelet transform and different thresholding methods to remove high-frequency noise. The de-noising effects were measured by Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) and the shape of waveforms. It was demonstrated that when the SNR after denoising approached to that of the standard signal,the de-noising effect was optimal. Thus,the de-noising schemes with the less signal distortion and the higher SNR were obtained. Meanwhile,the wavelet function appropriate for the decomposition and reconstruction of ECG signal was determined. Verified by MIT-BIH database,the results of this study can effectively remove high-frequency noise in ECG signal.

      2010, 8(3):290-296.

      Abstract (4927) HTML (0) PDF 1.09 M (4115) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:An effective approach for subsurface echo extraction was developed on the basis of the coherent and incoherent characteristics of the subsurface nadir echoes and surface off-nadir echoes (clutter). By stacking and averaging the received radar sounder echoes at different time series,subsurface echo could be identified if the subsurface topography variation was not too large. Taking the simulated radar sounder echoes from lunar maria and highlands area as example,this study verified the feasibility of this approach numerically. Finally,the influence on subsurface echo identification by the stacking number and surface roughness was discussed. The approach in this paper can be applied to Martian and other planetary exploration.

      2010, 8(3):297-302.

      Abstract (5124) HTML (0) PDF 614.68 K (4484) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Circular scanning Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) works in beam-scan mode,whose radar antenna conically scans with respect to the vertical direction,so that the images of full circular area around the radar platform can be formed. The geometric distortion correction of the images processed by an airborne circular scanning SAR was investigated. While the radar antenna was scanning,the imaging geometry also changed with time. After discussing the mechanism of geometric distortion,a method of geometric distortion correction based on geographic coordinate of subimage’s pixel was put forward. Live data processing validated the method proposed,and SAR image without geometric distortion was obtained.

      2010, 8(3):303-307.

      Abstract (6195) HTML (0) PDF 606.17 K (5475) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To compensate for the deficiencies of traditional threshold functions and obtain the heart sound with high SNR for better analysis,a novel threshold function was proposed in this study. The function quantified the detail coefficients of each level of noisy heart sounds effectively through adjusting the values of the parameters a and m. In the simulation, the traditional soft and hard threshold functions and the new threshold function were used in noise reduction for many cases of standard heart sounds respectively and the comparative analysis of the effect of noise reduction was made. The new threshold function was applied to noise reduction of the measured heart sounds as well. The results indicated that the new threshold function could better reserve the characteristics of heart sounds, eliminate noise effectively, and was of strong practical value.

      Abstract (5963) HTML (0) PDF 443.21 K (6251) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Shield material with some certain composition can absorb a large part of low energy photon of X-ray and reduce the radiation effect on electronic component. However,in some cases,photon quantity of several low energy bins in transmission spectrum will be larger than that in incidence spectrum due to Compton scattered photons. This is disadvantageous for radiation protection. The study discussed such factors relative to scattered photon impact as source photon energy,the place of detector,the composition and the thickness of shield material. Under several different conditions,X-ray transmission spectra were calculated. The rule of Compton photons affecting on X-ray transmission spectrum was found. Lastly,some countermeasures were put forward.

      Abstract (4246) HTML (0) PDF 382.60 K (4811) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to address the issues such as wave-front distortion,reflection and other phenomena in atmospheric optical communication,which seriously affect the communication quality,the Adaptive Optics(AO) technology was used to reconstruct the distorted wave-front, then reflective mirrors were used to amend the aberrations.Theoretical analysis, simulation and experiments were performed. The result indicated that under the same experimental conditions, as the Bit Error Ratio(BER) of the system kept the value of 1×10-6,the system transmitting power when using adaptive optics technology had been reduced by half than that when not using adaptive optics technology. In the Near-earth atmospheric laser communications, the effects of AO in increasing the system gain and reducing the system bit error rate are significant.
