      Abstract:To overcome slow leaking problems of the Micro-Crystalline Diamond(MCD) window, a study on an extremely thin composite diamonds for the windows of the Terahertz(THz) wave Traveling Wave Tubes(TWTs) is presented. The composite diamond is prepared by Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition(MPCVD) method. To reinforce the mechanical properties and air tightness, MCD is deposited incorporated with Ultra-Nano-Crystalline Diamond(UNCD). A 100 μm thick composite film is designed and fabricated. The fracture strengths of the composite films with thin layers of UNCD are 2-3 times higher than those of the MCD films. The results of the leak test show the maximum leak rate of the windows is less than 1×10-10 Pa?m3/s. 180 GHz and 220 GHz TWT composite diamonds windows are assembled. Results of the Radio Frequency(RF) tests of the two windows show that S11≤-15 dB(in range of 10 GHz) and S11≤ -10 dB(in range of 20 GHz) respectively, indicating a good RF performance. This work provides a novel approach for the fabrication of extremely thin diamond windows for THz TWTs.

      Abstract:At present, the frequency spectrum resources in the microwave band are becoming increasingly scarce. The exploration of the terahertz band has provided new ideas for solving this problem. Terahertz technology is widely used in many fields, such as communications, radar and imaging. Terahertz mixer is a critical device in the terahertz transceiver system. Therefore, the study of terahertz mixer is very important.

      Abstract:A reflective polarization converter constructed by a layer of rectangle metal pattern, an ultrathin polyimide substrate, and a layer of metal reflector are introduced. To lower the sensitivity to the thickness of the substrate and increase the working bandwidth, the method of broadening and truncating the metallic wire grid of traditional polarization converter is proposed, which introduces the equivalent capacity and the equivalent inductance of two orthogonal linearly polarized incident electromagnetic waves, so the phases are modulated separately. The simulation result suggests that at 500 GHz, the working bandwidth is about 140 GHz, the insert loss is less than 0.5 dB; and while the thickness error of the polyimide substrate is within a due range, the performance of the polarization converter would keep stable. The designed converter efficiently lowers the sensitivity to the thickness of the substrate and increases the working bandwidth, besides, a flexible thin-film photoetching method is proposed for the process of the polarization converter.

      Abstract:A deceptive jamming method based on convolution technique is proposed in order to implement effective image deception jamming for low frequency ultra wideband Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR). Based on the SAR target echo characteristic, analytic formula of the modulation function is derived. The approximate processing is required when the jamming signal generated. For a low frequency ultra wideband SAR, the echo signal is strongly coupled because of the wide beam. Considering the usual imaging algorithm used in ultra wideband SAR, the jamming modulation function is accurate to the cubic phase. And the coefficients of each term are analyzed and simplified. Finally, two simulation examples are given to show the necessity of improvement and the effectiveness of the jamming technology. Both the theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the improved method can effectively implement the false image jamming for ultra wide band SAR.

      Abstract:With rapid development of communication technology and the way of communication, the modulation type of communication signal and communication system become more and more complex. Due to the high spectrum utilization rate, Continuous-Phase Frequency Shift Keying(CPFSK) is widely used in satellite communication. Considering parameters estimation of CPFSK, an algorithm of CPFSK modulation index estimation is studied based on Lyapunov exponent. With the mathematical relationship between Lyapunov exponent and modulation index, modulation index is estimated by extracting Lyapunov exponent, and the performance is simulated by modulation index Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) vs. Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR) curves. With low complexity, this algorithm can be applied to CPFSK and common Frequency Shift Keying(FSK) signal.

      Abstract (3217) HTML (0) PDF 380.31 K (1757) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:A novel Ground Moving Target Indication(GMTI) algorithm is presented to detect slow moving targets by using the range walk migration in single-antenna synthetic aperture radar. Two filters,which differ only in signs of phase responses, are utilized to change the range walk migration rates of the echo after the range compression, and two images are generated therewith. In the two images, stationary targets have the same range walk migration rates after the filtering; nevertheless, the range walk migration rates of the moving targets are different. Therefore, moving targets can be indicated by the complex subtraction of the two images. Simulations are conducted to prove that slow moving targets which are submerged by the clutter can be detected by the proposed algorithm.

      Abstract:Dual-source jamming is an effective monopulse radar jamming method. The jamming effect is analyzed under the condition of single echo. But in the actual situation, pulse accumulation is utilized in signal processing which would affect the phase between the dual-source jammers and finally affect the dual-source jamming effect. Simulation analysis indicates the deception angle of monopulse radar under dual-source jamming fluctuates in some range instead of keeping stable.

      Abstract:An antenna geometry design method of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO) radar based on D-optimality Criterion(DOBC) is proposed in order to minimize Mean Square Error(MSE) of the estimations. Firstly, the constraints of DOBC designs are derived; then, the sensitivity properties of the DOBC designs are analyzed, which are only affected by the separation of the targets and are independent of the azimuth of targets; the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound(CRLB) of the estimations in the far field condition is also deduced. DOBC criteria can be looked as the modified CRLB and provides a tighter bound for performance measure of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate(MLE) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that compared with minimum redundancy arrays and uniform arrays, DOBC designs have better performance in parameter estimation. Furthermore, it is not restricted by the array aperture. As the aperture increases, the resolution will be improved and the spurious peaks will become higher at the same time, which will result in a very large error in the DOA estimation with low SNR. Therefore, an appropriate aperture must be chosen according to the physical requirements.

Simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. While the RSN is above 0 dB, the DRFM jamming detection probability is up to 0.9 for pulse compression waveforms, such as phased code and Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM).

      Abstract:The excitation signal type and cycle selection are important factors affecting Transient Electromagnetic Method(TEM) system detection ability. Using the time-domain finite element integration method to simulate different excitation signals, through the contrast and analysis of the transmitter coil magnetic field distribution characteristics and magnetic focusing effect in the same depth, the excitation signal types can be determined. For the detection depth and sensitivity depending on the excitation signal cycle, the minimum period of the excitation signal is determined. Taking the minimum period as the lower limit, the simulation is carried out in different cycles, and the receiving coil of the echo effect diagram and the magnetic flux change curves of equivalent depth are obtained. Comparison and analysis are conducted to determine the appropriate cycle. The conclusion is that the rectangular pulse with 500 ms is more suitable as excitation signal, and is helpful to magnetic field energy focusing and the depth of propagation. Finally, the steel plates with different thicknesses are simulated, and the relationships between the echo signal and the thickness of steel plate are analyzed. This work can provide a theoretical basis for the practical transient electromagnetic detection system.

      Abstract:Considering the feature of buildings in high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) images, an algorithm for extracting buildings from SAR image based on multi-scale information fusion is proposed. Taking the Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform(NSCT) as multi-scale analysis framework, a multi-scale fusion segmentation method is proposed to extract the potential building regions. An edge detection method based on multi-scale data fusion is designed to extract the edge information. The results of multi-scale fusion segmentation and edge detection are combined to filter the false alarm and add the missing buildings. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the building detection algorithm based on feature fusion, and the average recall ratio reached 94% in the experimental images. These results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.

      Abstract:For obtaining direct sound component effectively to analyze real characteristics of the underwater explosion source, a marking algorithm is proposed, which utilizes the local correlation peak to identify the direct sound. The evaluation function for the algorithm result is established. Based on underwater explosion experiments in the shallow water, the reasonability of this algorithm is initially verified by comparing with results through the ray theory, and further the frequency spectrum analysis is performed on the optimal direct sound interval(width about 1.8 ms) acquired by this algorithm through Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT). The results indicate that: the sequence of the direct sound pressure level has a high autocorrelation and the corresponding relative array feature can keep stable approximately in the short range; this algorithm can bring good local correlation peaks and identify the direct sound components clearly, especially in the very short propagation range, with the correlation peaks even over 0.9; the main frequency band of the used explosion source is stable around 0-10 kHz, with the peak frequency of 1 kHz approximately, but when the propagation range is relatively longer, the corresponding spectrum profile will be influenced by the sound speed distribution significantly.

      Abstract:The estimation accuracy of the subspace algorithm has dropped off because the effective bandwidth has reduced under the condition of single snapshot. The accuracy of the compressed sensing algorithm has declined because of the similar sparse structure under the condition of multiple snapshots. To deal with the weak robustness of existing algorithms,a high-performance time delay estimation algorithm is presented based on compressed sensing subspace under both conditions. The proposed algorithm derives the relationship between the multipath number and the number of snapshots. An improved noise subspace has been reconstructed. The polynomial is applied to estimate time delay. The polynomial rooting avoids the spectral peak searching and reduces the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a high performance and a better robustness compared with subspace algorithms and compressed sensing algorithms.

      Abstract:In the field of image processing, dictionary learning and the mapping from Low-Resolution (LR) image to High-Resolution(HR) image are two important components of image Super-Resolution(SR) algorithms based on sparse representation theory. Due to the rich and varied image types, a single dictionary does not represent the image very well. And the strict equaling to the mapping between LR and HR images also limits the image reconstruction effect. From above two aspects, more inclusive multi-dictionary and the more relaxed coupled dictionary sparse learning algorithms are adopted to perform SR reconstruction of the image. First of all, the method performs multiple adaptive clustering on the basis of non-local self similarity of images in this paper. Secondly, the optimal clustering is selected, and the dictionary is got by the coupling dictionary sparse learning algorithm. Finally, the input LR images are classified and reconstructed to obtain HR images.

      Abstract:In order to achieve higher resolution images, a semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm by using adaptive image blocks clustering algorithm is proposed. The theoretical basis of semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm and adaptive image blocks clustering algorithm are studied in this paper. Firstly,according to the application of sparse representation theory in image super resolution algorithm,the coupled and semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm are introduced. The coupled dictionary learning algorithm assumes that sparse codings of corresponding high and low resolution image blocks are equal, but this assumption is too strict. The semi-coupled dictionary learning algorithm relaxes this assumption,assuming that sparse codings of corresponding high and low resolution image blocks are not equal,but satisfying a linear mapping. Secondly,because the semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm is more reasonable than the coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm, in this paper,the semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm is adopted. Then, according to the limitations of expression of the global dictionary, the multi-dictionary learning algorithm is analyzed. Finally,through the analysis of the traditional image blocks clustering algorithm, a semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm by using adaptive image blocks clustering algorithm is proposed. The experimental results show that the Peak Signal to Noise Ratios(PSNR) of Butterfly, Cameraman, Foreman, Plants, Hat and Lena images obtained by the proposed algorithm are higher than that of the semi-coupled sparse dictionary learning algorithm based on K-means clustering algorithm by 0.18 dB,0.16 dB,0.52 dB,0.21 dB,0.23 dB and 0.14 dB respectively. According to the results,a conclusion is drawn that better reconstruction images can be obtained by the proposed method.

      Abstract:The gamma dose rate radiation model of PN junction which is the fundamental structure of integrated circuit is studied. Firstly, the importance of the PN junction dose rate radiation model is explained. Then, the analytic model of the photocurrent response of one-dimensional uniform doping abrupt PN junction is calculated based on the equation of semiconductor physics. Photocurrent response with different parameters is drawn by Mathematica according to the analytic solution. Results are compared with Technology Computer Aided Design(TCAD) numerical simulation so as to confirm the correction of analytic solution. Finally, through the analysis of the effect of dose rate, bias, PN junction geometry, doping concentration, diffusion coefficient, minority carrier lifetime on steady-state photocurrent, a new model is put forward to calculate the steady-state photocurrent, which could be much more convenient for engineering calculation.

      Abstract:Based on the basic principle of Time-Of-Flight cameras,a novel MATLAB/SIMULINK model is proposed to measure phase delay of a modulated light signal which represents the distance from camera to object. Subsequently,by discussing influence factors of phase measurement,it is found that the integration time,the sampling time,and the aliasing effect have important effect on improving the accuracy of phase measurement. Interestingly,by analyzing different integration time and sampling time, it is found that the best integration time and sampling time are 0.05 ms and 10 ns,respectively. In this case(i.e.,in absence of the aliasing effect),the variation range of the distance error is between 1 mm and 11 mm in the interval of one period. Especially,under the consideration of the aliasing effect,the average value of distance error is half of that in absence of the aliasing effect. This improves the accuracy of the distance measurement greatly.

      Abstract:A bandgap voltage reference source circuit with piecewise-linear compensation is designed. It has the functions of a low temperature drift and a high power supply rejection ratio. The bandgap reference core circuit adopts the structure of three branches and cascode current mirror, which improves the rejection ratio of the power supply for circuit. According to the piecewise-linear compensation principle, the circuit adds a negative temperature coefficient current when the temperature is low. Similarly, the circuit adds a positive temperature coefficient current when the temperature is high. This kind of compensation circuit greatly improves the accuracy of output voltage for bandgap reference and it achieves the goal of reducing the temperature coefficient. In addition, the current mirror adopts the cascode structure, it not only improves the rejection ratio of power supply for circuit, but also suppresses the load effect on the mirror transistor voltage. Basing on 0.5 μm standard of CMOS technology,the circuit is simulated by Cadence Spectre software. The result shows that the temperature coefficient of reference output voltage is 2.62×10-6/℃ when the temperature ranges from -50 ℃ to +125 ℃, and the Power Supply Rejection Ratio(PSRR) reaches 88 dB when the circuit is under low frequency condition.
