Full textRadio transmission channel influences greatly the quality of transmitted voice and data signal in terms of data rate and robustness. This degradation is as a result of many factors, notable amongst them are having multiple replica of the transmitted signal at the receiver (multipath), changes of frequency as a result of the movement of the aircraft (Doppler shift) and noise. This paper characterizes the scattered components of the aeronautical channel in terms of delay spread. Geometric representation is used to derive expressions for the maximum delay spread using the 2-ray model and the three dimensional model of the scattered path. Furthermore, the delay and Doppler frequencies are described as a function of the horizontal distance to the specular reflection point between a ground station and a test article. The simulated results are compared to measured data of related articles and the value of the maximum delay spread is compared with the proposed intersymbol guard band for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in the Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) program to see if this proposition can be adapted to the aeronautical channel.

Full textIn any satellite communication, the Doppler shift associated with the satellite’s position and velocity must be calculated in order to determine the carrier frequency. If the satellite state vector is unknown then some estimate must be formed of the Doppler-shifted carrier frequency. One elementary technique is to examine the signal spectrum and base the estimate on the dominant spectral component. If, however, the carrier is spread (as in most satellite communications) this technique may fail unless the chip rate-to-data rate ratio (processing gain) associated with the carrier is small. In this case, there may be enough spectral energy to allow peak detection against a noise background. In this paper, we present a method to estimate the frequency (without knowledge of the Doppler shift) of a spread-spectrum carrier assuming a small processing gain and binary-phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. Our method relies on a simple, averaged discrete Fourier transform along with peak detection. We provide simulation results indicating the accuracy of this method. In addition, we will describe an all-digital hardware design based around a Motorola DSP56303 and high-speed A/D which implements this technique in real-time. The hardware design is to be used in NMSU’s implementation of NASA’s demand assignment, multiple access (DAMA) service.

Full textData from ARTM channel sounding test flights is examined to characterize the dynamic channel behavior of aeronautical telemetry channels. The dynamic behavior is characterized using the Doppler power spectrum. The width of the Doppler power spectrum is the Doppler bandwidth of the channel which indicates the required bandwidth of adaptive detection techniques such as adaptive equalization, adaptive modulation, adaptive channel selection and adaptive error control coding. Data collected from ARTM Flight 11 suggest a Doppler bandwidth exceeding 6.7 Hz for the channel, but greater accuracy and resolution will only be possible with more data.

Full textParameterized data from ARTM channel sounding test flights are used to derive a parameter-based estimate of the scattering function. The Doppler bandwidth and Doppler spread, important measures of channel dynamics, can be estimated from such a scattering function. Data collected from ARTM Flight 11 suggest that the Doppler bandwidth is larger than 6.7 Hz. Even for very small collections of parameterized data, surprising agreement is shown to non-parametric scattering function estimates. This confirms modeling assumptions and offers a way to achieve significant reductions of storage requirements.

Currently, a user's spacecraft is incapable of receiving service unless prior scheduling occurred with the control center. NASA is interested in efficiently utilizing the time between scheduled services. Thus, a demand assignment multiple access (DAMA) service study was conducted to provide a solution. The DAMA service would allow the user's spacecraft to initiate a service request. The control center could then schedule the next available time slot upon owner approval. In this paper, the basic DAMA service request design and integration is presented.

Full textLos sistemas de radio de alta frecuencia (HF, en inglés) son usados por agencias gubernamentales y no gubernamentales en todo el mundo siempre que se necesite una alternativa a las comunicaciones por satélite: barcos en alta mar, aviones fuera del rango de cobertura de las redes radio de visión directa, operaciones militares, zonas donde la infraestructura ha sido destruida por algún desastre. Ésta ofrece una alternativa, o representa un sistema de backup, a las comunicaciones vía satélite, evitando los costes, la vulnerabilidad y los problemas de soberanía de las comunicaciones por satélite. En esta tesis se ha estudiado el enlace HF entre la base antártica española Juan Carlos I en la isla Livingston, en las Shetland del sur y España. El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de las limitaciones de la propagación ionosférica (como la relación señal a ruido e interferencia, la dispersión multicamino y la dispersión por efecto Doppler) y el diseño de la capa física de un enlace HF de baja velocidad, baja potencia y largo alcance. Se han estudiado un par de propuestas para este enlace, como son el espectro ensanchado por secuencia directa (DSSS, en inglés) y la multiplexación por división en frecuencia ortogonal (OFDM, en inglés). El reto ha sido definir las características que mejor se adecuan a este enlace para poder aprovechar la diversidad temporal y frecuencial que ofrece el canal HF. Desde el año 2003 diversas campañas de sondeo han permitido estudiar el canal HF pero no es hasta la campaña 2009/2010 que se consigue una fotografía de la actividad ionosférica tanto nocturna como diurna. En los artículos que se presentan en esta tesis hemos extendido los estudios previos a todo el rango de frecuencias HF y hemos mostrado las diferencias entre el día y la noche. Hemos usado estos resultados de caracterización del canal para diseñar y comparar símbolos DSSS y símbolos OFDM. Ambas posibilidades han resultado ser posibles candidatas para implementar un enlace HF de baja velocidad entre la Antártida y España. Sin embargo ambas técnicas representan dos aproximaciones distintas a la implementación del módem. Mientras que DSSS consigue un buen funcionamiento a baja velocidad en escenarios con baja relación señal a ruido, OFDM consigue tasas de transmisión más altas en escenarios más benignos.
High Frequency (HF) radio is used by governmental and non nongovernmental agencies worldwide whenever an alternative to satellites for sky wave communication is needed: ships at sea, aircraft out of range of line-of-sight radio networks, military operations, disaster areas with communication infrastructure destroyed or distant regions lacking other communications. It offers an alternative to satellites, or a backup, for long-haul communications, thus avoiding the costs, vulnerabilities and sovereignty concerns of satellite communications. In this thesis the HF link between the Antarctic Spanish Station Juan Carlos I in Livingston Island, South Shetlands and Spain is studied. The aim of this study is to address the impairments that affect HF propagation (i.e., signal-to-noise plus interference ratio, multipath and Doppler shift and spread) and to design the physical layer of a low rate, low power and long-haul HF link. Some proposals regarding this last issue are addressed, i.e., direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The challenge is to define the symbol characteristics that best fit the link to benefit from time and frequency diversity that offers the HF channel. Since 2003 several transmission campaigns have allowed to study the HF channel but it is not until the 2009/2010 campaign that we have achieved a whole picture of both diurnal and nocturnal ionospheric activity. In the papers presented in this thesis we have extended the previous research to the whole range of HF frequencies and we have shown the differences on performance between day and night. We have used the results from channel characterization to design and compare the performance of DSSS and OFDM symbols. Both techniques have turned out to be possible candidates to implement a low rate HF link between Antarctica and Spain. However, both techniques stand for different approaches of the modem: DSSS achieves good performance at low data rate in low SNR scenarios, whereas OFDM achieves higher data rate in benign channels

Full textThis work aims to understand the phenomena that occur in a combustion chamber. Due to the complexity of the phenomena encountered, simplifications are made. This study only focuses on multicomponent droplet evaporation in turbulent flows. Many evaporation models exist, but the influence of turbulence on a spray is yet not well understood. On one hand, turbulence increases the droplet evaporation rate. On the other hand, it may generate clusters, in which saturation stops the process. This study aims to give a database that can be used to improve the physical understanding of the process and to improve model performances. This is an experimental approach. The objective is to measure evaporation and dispersion of droplets and vapour mixing in a well-known turbulent flow. In the simplified test case studied here, the temperature is lower than in a real case and the pressure is atmospheric. The droplets are bi-component(octane/3-pentanone). The experimental set-up is divided into two parts. The first part, at the top, consists in a turbulence flow generator and a droplet injection device. The second part is a channel in which the two- hase flow is analysed. The carrier flow is measured using Laser Doppler Anemometry. The main flow properties are : high turbulence levels, flat profiles for the mean velocity and velocity fluctuations. The turbulence decreases and isotropic properties are close to those of grid turbulence. The dispersed phase is measured using Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) and Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF). The velocity and diameter of each droplet passing through the measurement volume is measured by the PDA technique. There is a large variety of droplet behaviours due to the large polydispersion and turbulence. Droplet clusters are measured. Their amounts decrease with the distance from the injector. The concentration of 3-pentanone can be measured with the LIF technique. The evolution of the liquid concentration, mass flux and droplet clusters is described. The mean vapour concentration and its fluctuations are measured along the axial and radial axis. The mixing of the vapour is characterised

Full textAir, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide were used as the atomizing gas in an 'air-assist' spray nozzle to determine the effect of these gases on mean droplet size, number density, velocity and their distributions in kerosene fuel spays and spray flames using a two dimensional phase Doppler interferometer. Data have been obtained with these atomizing gases using a base, air assisted case as a reference, since this is the most commonly used atomizing fluid in almost all applications. Comparisons were made between the gases on a mass and momentum flux basis. Both burning and nonburning sprays were investigated. The results show significant differences in atomization characteristics from the atomizer with different gases and under conditions of constant mass and momentum flux of the gas. The results also show that the presence of oxygen in the air atomized sprays assists in the combustion process, since it produces smaller and faster moving droplets, especially at locations near to the nozzle exit. In nonburning sprays, droplets had similar size and velocity. Lighter gases such as nitrogen more effectively atomized the fuel in comparison to the denser gases. Argon and carbon dioxide produced larger, slower moving droplets than air and nitrogen assisted cases in both the burning and nonburning sprays. Flame photographs revealed the argon and carbon dioxide atomized flames to have greater luminosity than air or nitrogen atomized flames.

Full textThe increase in consumption of petroleum-based fuels promotes environmental degradation and, to mitigate the adverse effects of this consumption, new sustainable sources and uses of energy are required. The use of ethanol as an option to conventional fuels on current generation of engines and gas turbines requires detailed information on atomization, evaporation, mixture and combustion processes of ethanol droplets. In addition, new strategies to fuel injection in ICEs are being developed, such as the stratied fuel injection. In this strategy, fuel is injected in higher injection frequencies along the air intake and combustion phases of the engine cycle. In this work, advanced techniques of laser diagnostic are applied to analyze the inuence of fuel injection frequency on the behavior of the combustion process of pulsed ethanol sprays, in which the resulting ames are stabilized by a swirler. The Phase Doppler Interferometry (PDI) technique is applied to measure both diameter and axial velocity of droplets produced by the injector under different conditions of injection frequency. The velocity eld of the airow is evaluated by the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) using two repetition rates (7,4 Hz and 2.000 Hz) to evaluated both mean values and to track coherent structures in the ow. The PIV equipment is also used to evaluate the position of droplet groups by Mie scattering during the individual injection events. A high repetition rate (4.700 Hz) Laser Induced Fluorescence of hydroxyl radical (LIF-OH) system is applied to track the region with presence of OH in a vertical plane near the exit of the burner. Images of spontaneous chemical luminescence are acquired to analyze general aspects of the ames. The burner consists on a swirler and an automotive injector and is positioned in an open space with quiescent air. The analyzed injection frequencies are 100 Hz, 250Hz and 400 Hz, presenting characteristics ranging from a stable anchored ame to a lifted-like unstable ame. Liquid anhydrous ethanol is delivered to the injector with constant pressure and ow rate for all cases. Results show different spray densities produced by the change in the injection frequency. The case with lower injection frequency produced higher spray densities, in which the formation of large groups of droplets prevents the inuence of the recirculating airow on droplet dynamics. This case presented an anchored, elongated, narrow and stable ame. The case with higher injection frequency produced lower spray densities, in which droplet dynamics are more susceptible to the velocities of the airow. This inuence of the airow promotes spatial dispersion of droplets, been more prone to instabilities on the local combustion process. These local instabilities are associated to the inuence of periodic coherent structures of the ow passing through the reaction zone, which leads to the intermittent presence of OH and the absence of spontaneous chemical luminescence near the injection plane of the burner.

Full textThe present work is a contribution to the experimental characterisation of a dense and high speed spray, by means of optical diagnostics : one-point measurements - Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) - and planar visualisation measurements - Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Digital Image Processing (DIP) -. A steady state spray is produced by discharge of pressurised water at 10 MPa through a 0. 2 mm diameter hole. The spray discharges into quiescent air, at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. With PDA measurements, five criteria defining the transition from a dense flow to a fully developped flow (similar to an airjet laden with droplets) have been established, based on : (i) the asymptote reached by the mean velocity on the axis ; (ii) the linear evolution of the air entrainment ; (iii) the equilibrium reached by the fluctuating velocity ; (iv) the linear evolution of the mean-squared displacement ; (v) the linear evolution of the integral thickness. The adaptation of PIV to the study of this dense spray necessitates numerous preliminary experiments concerning the illumination of the droplets (two opposite coplanar laser sheets), the choice of time interval between two images, the interrogation spot size for the cross-correlation process. . . DIP gives droplets size results which are in good agreement with the ones issued from the PDA measurements. An original investigation combining PIV and DIP allows to study the droplets velocity (10 to 100 m/s) conditioned by their size (a few um). Finally, with the fluoresced and diffused light simultaneously recorded on two CCD cameras, the previous analysis by PIV and digital image treatment gives encouraging results on the continuous phase dynamic : differences in longitudinal velocity of about 30 m/s between the two phases were measured on the axis. Future prospects are the quantitative analyses of the gas velocity conditioned by droplets velocity or droplets geometry

Full textMultiband laser-induced fluorescence is a non-intrusive technique able to provide a measurement of the liquid phase of complex media. The application of this technique in single phase liquids, with a variable optical path (product of the fluorescent tracer molecular concentration by the distance between the probe volume and the collection optics in the liquid) was considered. The ratio of the fluorescence intensities collected on two spectral bands allows removing the influence of the fluorescence tracer concentration, incident laser intensity and probe volume. A third spectral band of detection is used to take into account the re-absorption of the fluorescence in the case of non negligible and variable optical paths. Then, the application of this technique to the measurement of the temperature of the liquid phase of a spray is presented. A specific data processing was developed in order to take into account the random presence of droplets in the probe volume. Moreover, the processing was adapted to achieve combined fluorescence and droplet size measurements using the phase Doppler technique. The overall foreseen goal is to measure temperature per droplet size class. However, several disturbing phenomena were highlighted: - an unexpected non-linear dependence on the droplet size of the ratio of the fluorescence intensities collected on two spectral bands, - a strong incident laser light scattering by the droplets cloud, which induces a fluorescence beyond the excitation zone. This fluorescence is also collected in the depth of field of the optical device and combines with the non-linear size dependence. A correction strategy of these phenomena was implemented and a validation experiment on a heated spray injected in a vapour-saturated cell was performed

Full textPulsed radars have an ambiguous relationship between range and velocity which is proportional to the pulse repetition frequency (PRF), leading to potential tradeoffs. High PRFs are necessary to avoid velocity aliasing but suffer at the expense of unambiguous range. Obscuration due to ambiguous range foldover from distant clutter echos seriously degrades target detectability. For the case of skywave HF over-the-horizon (OTH) radar, ionospheric motion causes spreading of surface clutter in Doppler space and coupled with range folded clutter, introduces the effect of so-called 'separated' spread Doppler clutter (SDC). Selection of a nonrecurrent waveform (NRWF) with a quadratic phase interpulse code has been shown to mitigate long-range SDC by folding the multi-hop returns into known disassociated Doppler regions.
Utilizing multiple receive elements, spatial processing can be preformed to exploit the correlation between spatial frequency and Doppler shift produced by ionospheric winds. Adaptive beamforming is known to provide asymptotically optimal array gain if sufficient training data is available. In highly nonstationary environments however, obtaining this asymptotic performance is difficult as neither knowledge of the target wavefront nor signal-free training data is easily obtainable for training. A blind adaptive spatial processing (BASP) technique has been proposed, combining minimum variance (MV) adaptive beamforming and blind source separation (BSS). The unique idea of BASP is the formulation of a signal-free covariance matrix from BSS clutter and noise components at a single range bin, and utilizing it in adaptive beamforming to suppress clutter.
This research explores a clutter mitigation method that will combine NRWF and BASP in order to recover targets masked by Doppler-spread surface backscatter from points beyond the radar's maximum unambiguous range while maintaining target detectability elsewhere in Doppler. Current methods for mitigating range-folded clutter, such as reducing the pulse-repetition frequency or the use of non-recurrent waveforms, suffer loss in the usable Doppler space available for target detection or a reduction in target revisit rate. The proposed research uses BSS methods to exploit the known Doppler separation afforded by NRWF in order to estimate the spatial wavefront of the clutter across a linear receive array. Spatial adaptive processing using this estimated wavefront is then used to suppress range-folded clutter at each range bin without sacrificing the radar timeline or usable Doppler space.
Simulation is conducted to understand the NRWF and its ability to separate range-folded clutter in Doppler. The BASP method is applied to the NRWF and its results demonstrate performance improvement in terms of achievable signal-to-clutter and noise ratio gain. Laboratory experimental results show the NRWF's ability to separate range-folded clutter into designed Doppler regions. BASP is then applied and demonstrated to mitigate the separated range folded clutter and recover usable Doppler space.

Four issues and solutions are investigated in the thesis with regard to the pseudo-noise (PN) code synchronization for single- and multi-carrier direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) systems operating on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and/or multipath fading channels. In the first part, code tracking with code-Doppler compensation for single carrier DS-SS systems on AWGN channels is proposed. Code Doppler compensation is introduced to the traditional noncoherent digital delay lock loop (DLL) in addition to carrier Doppler compensation. Thanks to the code Doppler compensation, the simple-to-implement active correlation with a large correlation length can be employed to improve the loop performance. The code Doppler compensation significantly improve the loop performance with the presence of a large code Doppler. In the second part, new tracking loop analysis with A/D quantization for single carrier DS-SS systems on AWGN channels is considered. In particular, the performance of non-coherent second-order all digital delay lock loops with the presence of Doppler shift is analyzed. A new method based on a regenerative Markov chain modeling of the tracking process is proposed with the loop A/D quantization being taken into account that has been neglected in previous analyses. Numerical results show that A/D quantization has a significant impact on the loop performance, including loop transient responses, lock-in range, mean time to lose lock (MTLL) and mean square error (MSE). In addition, by using saddle point integration for the evaluation of the transition probabilities of the Markov chain, MTLL and MSE is evaluated more accurately than previous methods. In the third part, the code acquisition for multicarrier direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems on multipath fading channels is investigated. For multipath fading channels, the exact analysis of code acquisition becomes difficult because of the channel memory incurred by multipath fading. In this part, a new analysis is given to accurately evaluate the mean acquisition time performance of the serial search multiple dwell code acquisition for the multicarrier DS-CDMA systems. Our analysis can take the fading correlations into account, the effects of system parameters on the acquisition performance such as carrier and user numbers, fading correlations, dwell''s number, times and thresholds can be easily evaluated, and, therefore, facilitating the design of the acquisition subsystem. Finally, code tacking for multicarrier DS-CDMA systems on multipath fading channels is investigated. In this part, the tracking error performance of the traditional noncoherent DDLL with diversity reception is analyzed for the multicarrier DS-CDMA systems, under the effects of automatic gain control (AGC), multipath fading, and multiple access interference. AGC is used to eliminate the inherent stability problem of a DDLL. And, a new decision-directed noncoherent tracking loop based on a differentially-detected phase detector is proposed and analyzed. The new tracking loop outperforms the traditional DDLL.

The use of direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) in communication systems is considered a promising technique to obtain higher bandwidth efficiency and power efficiency, in addition to its well-knownmerits in the field of secure communications. However, the efficiency of a spread-spectrum system is highly dependent on the capability of the receiver to obtain accurate and fast synchronization between the received and the locally generated PN codes. In severe Doppler environm ent, such asthe low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite communication, the effectsof D oppler include not only the carrier frequency shift, but alsothe PN code chip rate offset, which may result in the PN code synchronization to be hard to accomplish. Thus, we shall investi gate the effects of Doppler shift on the PNcode synchronization, including the combined acquisition-trackingsynchronization loops and the digital delay lock loops (DDLL). Moreover, we intend to findsome simple and feasible designs to diminish the influencesof Doppler effect. In this thesis, we first analyze the overall acquisition performanceof the combined acqu isition-tracking synchronization loopsin the presence of Doppler shift. Both t he change of effectivesearch rate and the impact onthe detection probability d ue to Doppler are taken into account. Furthermore, the influence of the DDLL acquiring capability on the complete acquisition process is investi gated and some numerical results are presented to demonstratethe acquisition performance of this combined loop whichare quite di fferent from the previous reports. The delay lock loop is a we ll-known technique to track the PN codes for DS-SS system. This thesis considers discrete time analys es of thefirst- and second-order digital delay lock loops (DDLL), and pre sents the results of an investigation concerning the performance degradation d ue to Doppler. The performance measures eva luated include the pull-in capability, the steady-state timing error probability density function (pdf),and the mean time to lose lock (MTLL). The linear approximations are also providedand confirmed by computer simulations.

Full textA bulk of liquid dispersed into single droplets using the kinetic energy of a high-velocity gas in an air-blast atomizer is frequently employed in technical atomization processes. In a prefilming air-blast atomizer, the atomizing liquid is primary situated on a surface (prefilming surface) to form a thin liquid film before exposing to a high-velocity air flow. The first purpose of this study is to understand atomization mechanisms close to prefilming atomizers and to determine the effect of spray system parameter variations on breakup mechanisms. Breakup regimes in the vicinity of the atomizer exit were determined using the shadowgraphy technique associated with particle tracking. In a next step, the spray performance of prefilming air-blast atomizers are characterized in a wide range of test conditions. For the spray characterization, a phase Doppler anemometry (PDA) was utilized to investigate the influence of variable parameters on the local droplet size and velocity in a spray. Finally, prediction approaches are determined for the development and design of a prefilming air-blast atomizer. In order to develop a unique functional relationship from experimental data, a dimensional analysis has been performed. Subsequently, the influence of two main nondimensional numbers shows different sensitivities depending on the pressure range and was quantified by fitting the data to appropriate correlation functions.
