LIANG Zhi-heng, JIANG Zhuang-de, ZHANG Xuan

As clutter simulating in laboratory, it needs to generate the clutter signal modulated by immediate or radio frequency signal with high ratio of signal to noise. In the paper, the specific characters of clutter signal generation are discussed, which includes two parts: signal reconstruction and modulation. The procedure of signal reconstruction includes conversion from power spectrum to vector spectrum, randomization of phase, inverse Fourier transform, and then windowing and overlapping the series time domain sequence, which guarantees the average value and variance of random sequence continuously.

By applying these steps, it can refrain the noise resulted by reconstruction and modulation to 60dB to meet the requirement of active radar seeker-in-the-loop simulation.

XIAO Ben-xian, WANG Qun-jing, ANG Wei-bing, LOU Tian-ling

In motion control system, the differences of the dynamic characteristics of each axes are the main reason of the contour error. We can design a feed forward module for each axes to improve the dynamic characteristics and reduce the contour error of the system. Because of the difficulty of getting the high rank differential signals of input, the compound control is hard to realize. To solve this problem we use two different kinds of Neural Networks to identify the contrary control object and use each Neural Networks as feed forward module. We also do some researches on the Genetic Algorithm. By adding BP algorithm into GA(Genetic Algorithm) we have a new algorithm called Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA). It has the advantage of fast convergence and it will not converge at local nadir.

Neural Network Adaptive Control with Smith Predictor for Flow Rate in Networks

SHEN Wei, FENG Rui, SHAO Hui-he

The network time delay has a great adverse effect on the rate-based ABR flow control in ATM networks. Smith predictor is an effective means that overcomes the large time delay. However, it is very sensitive to model error, so it is not satisfactory to use only Smith predictor in real networks which has indeterminacy of the time delay. The paper designs the neural network adaptive controller with Smith predictor for the flow control, which can overcome the adverse effect caused by the time delay and its indeterminacy well. Thus the source rates can respond to the changes of network status rapidly. Compared with PID Smith predictor control, this scheme has much better adaptability and robustness which are applicable to actual networks, and much lower buffer capacity which is necessary for no cell overflow and link bandwidth full utilization.

A New Method for Improving the Angular Velocity Calculation Precision of Gyroscope-Free Strapdown Inertial Navigation System

ZHAO Long, CHEN Zhe

There are many strengths in the gyroscope-free strapdown inertial navigation system because it is gyroscopes- free; the angular velocity, however, is calculated from signals that are sent by accelerometers, and its calculation error is divergent in time. The key technique, therefore, is how to control the divergence of the angular velocity calculation error and improve the calculation precision. To do the latter in nine-accelerometers schemes, a new method is provided, in which the equation of residual errors is firstly obtained by using the redundant information, then the numerical iteration is applied. The method is simpler and more effective than that one, which uses Kalman filtering to correct satellite attitude errors in the real time after a state noise estimation is received. Simulation results show that the angular velocity calculation precision is obviously improved by the new method.

The results show a good performance by the T-S controller for all cases tested. Because the online computing time taken by T-S controller is much shorter than by Mamdani fuzzy controller, the T-S controller has no time delay problem.
