Using a linear array to estimate the velocity of underwater moving targets

A new method uses a linear array that takes advantage of underwater physical sound fields to estimate the velocity of an underwater moving target. The mathematical model was established by considering the geometric relationship between the moving target installed with only two transducers to radiate sound of different frequencies and the linear array. In addition, deterministic maximum likelihood and signal phase matching algorithms were introduced to effectively find the directions of arrival （DOAs） of the sound sources of the two transducers installed on the target. Factors causing velocity measurement errors were considered. To track the target, a linear array with a compass, a pressure transducer, a signal conditioner and a digital recorder was configured. Relevant requirements for the array parameters were derived. The simulation showed that a 16-element array with an aperture of less than lm can measure velocity with relative error of no more＇, than 4% when including typical system errors. Anechoic pool and reservoir experiments confirmed these results.

An Array Extension Method in a Noisy Environment

An array extension method in a noisy environment was proposed to improve angular resolution and array gain. The proposed method combines the FOC （fourth-order cumulants） technique with the ETAM （extended towed array measurements） method to extend array aperture and suppress Gaussian noise, First, successive measurements of a virtual uniform linear array were constructed by applying lburth-order cumulants to measurements of uniform linear array; Gaussian noise in these measurements was also eliminated. Then, the array was extended by compensating phase differences using the ETAM method, Finally, the synthetic aperture was extended further by the fourth-order cumulants technique. The proposed FOC-ETAM-FOC method not only improves angular resolution and array gain, but also effectively suppresses Gaussian noise. Furthermore, it inherits the advantages of the ETAM method. Simulation results showed that the FOC-ETAM-FOC method achieved better angular resolution and array gain than the ETAM method. Furthermore this method outperforms the ETAM method in Gaussian noise environment.

COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT ESPRIT METHOD FOR DIRECTION FINDING

In this paper,a low complexity ESPRIT algorithm based on power method and Orthogo- nal-triangular (QR) decomposition is presented for direction finding,which does not require a priori knowledge of source number and the predetermined threshold (separates the signal and noise ei- gen-values).Firstly,according to the estimation of noise subspace obtained by the power method,a novel source number detection method without eigen-decomposition is proposed based on QR de- composition.Furthermore,the eigenvectors of signal subspace can be determined according to Q matrix and then the directions of signals could be computed by the ESPRIT algorithm.To determine the source number and subspace,the computation complexity of the proposed algorithm is approximated as (2log_2 n+2.67)M^3,where n is the power of covariance matrix and M is the number of array ele- ments.Compared with the Single Vector Decomposition (SVD) based algorithm,it has a substantial computational saving with the approximation performance.The simulation results demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness.

Permutation Analysis of Track and Column Braiding

The positions of braiding carrier in track and column braiding are represented by a diagrammatic braiding plan and a corresponding lattice-array is defined. A set is then formed so that the permutation analysis can be performed to represent the movement of carriers in a braiding process. The process of 4-step braiding is analyzed as an example to describe the application of the proposed method by expressing a braiding cycle as a product of disjoint cycles. As a result, a mapping relation between the disjoint cycles and the movement of carriers is deduced. Following the same analysis principles, a process of 8-step braiding and the corresponding initial state of the lattice-array is developed. A successful permutation analysis to the process manifests the general suitability of the proposed method.

Chirped Domain Wall Arrays and Solitary Waves in a Generalized Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

We study a generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation, and obtain some exact solutions, including domain wall arrays （periodic solutions in terms of elliptic functions）, fronts, bright and dark solitons. In certain parameter domains, fundamental bright and dark solitons show directionality and hence are chiral, and the propagation direction is determined by the sign of the self-steepening parameter. Moreover, the chirping reversal phenomena of bright and dark solitons are found.

Fast direction of arrival algorithm based on vector-sensor arrays using wideband sources

An acoustic vector sensor(AVS)can capture more information than a conventional acoustic pressure sensor(APS).As a result,more output channels are required when multiple AVS are formed into arrays,making processing the data stream computationally intense.This paper proposes a new algorithm based on the propagator method for wideband coherent sources that eliminates eigen-decomposition in order to reduce the computational burden.Data from simulations and lake trials showed that the new algorithm is valid:it resolves coherent sources,breaks left/right ambiguity,and allows inter element spacing to exceed a half-wavelength.

Blind Joint DOA and Polarization Estimation for Polarization Sensitive Coprime Planar Arrays via a Fast-Convergence Quadrilinear Decomposition Approach

The problem of joint direction of arrival(DOA)and polarization estimation for polarization sensitive coprime planar arrays(PS-CPAs)is investigated,and a fast-convergence quadrilinear decomposition approach is proposed.Specifically,we first decompose the PS-CPA into two sparse polarization sensitive uniform planar subarrays and employ propagator method(PM)to construct the initial steering matrices separately.Then we arrange the received signals into two quadrilinear models so that the potential DOA and polarization estimates can be attained via quadrilinear alternating least square(QALS).Subsequently,we distinguish the true DOA estimates from the approximate intersecting estimations of the two subarrays in view of the coprime feature.Finally,the polarization estimates paired with DOA can be obtained.In contrast to the conventional QALS algorithm,the proposed approach can remarkably reduce the computational complexity without degrading the estimation performance.Simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed fast-convergence approach for PS-CPAs.

COMPENSATION FOR THE MUTUAL COUPLING EFFECT FOR THE ESPRIT ALGORITHM IN SINGLE SNAPSHOT ARRAY PROCESSING

An effective method is introduced to compensate the effects of mutual coupling for the Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT) direction finding algorithm in application of signal snapshot array processing.Changing the covariance matrix into a Teoplitz matrix can achieve high resolution in the Direction Of Arrive (DOA) estimation.How the mutual coupling affects the array antennas has been discussed and a new definition of mutual im- pedance has been used to characterize the mutual coupling effects between the array elements.Based on the new mutual impedance matrix,a practical method is presented to eliminate the effects of mutual coupling for ESPRIT in the single snapshot data processing.The simulation results show that, this new method not only properly reduces the effects of mutual coupling,but also maintains its steady performance even for weak signals.

Combined Approach for Nonuniformity Correction in Infrared Focal Plane Array

A new algorithm of nonuniformity correction for infrared focal plane array(IRFPA) is reported,which is a combined algorithm based on both the two-point correction and artificial neural networks correction. The combined algorithm is calibrated by two-point correction,and the calibrated correction coefficients are automatically modified by BP algorithm. So it is not only calibrated,but also real-time processed. In adaptive nonuniformity correction algorithm,the phenomena ghost artifact and target fade-out are avoided by edge extraction. In order to get intensified image,the modified median filters are adopted. The simulated data indicates the proposed scheme is an effective algorithm.

Radiation Characteristics of Rectangular Patch Antennas with an Array of Pins

The patch antennas with an array of pins （pin array patch antennas） with excellent radiation characteristics are investigated for various substrate thicknesses. The radiation in the horizontal plane of a pin array patch antenna is very small compared to that of a conventional patch antenna. And the increase of forward radiation and the decrease of backward radiation of a pin array patch antenna are obtained than those conventional one＇s. Also the half-power beamwidth of E -plane radiation pattern of a pin array patch antenna is narrower compared to that of the conventional so that the directivity is improved.

A sensitive method to detect the hepatitis B virus mutations by using solid phase PCR on oligonucleotide array

A sensitive method based on solid phase PCR on oligonucleotide array was established to detect two point mutations 1896G-A and 1901G-A in hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, in which 6 probes including these two point mutations were immobilized on modified glass slides through 5' terminal linker, while the 3' terminal was made to be free. The mutated loci were designed to locate on the last nucleotides of 3' terminal respectively, and the positive control probes lacked the last nucleotide of 3' terminal in comparison with the probes used for detection. Probes fixed on oligonucleotide array were also the solid phase amplification primers. One pair of liquid primers was used to amplify the short template product from whole HBV DNA. Using target DNA as template, the solid primers were extended under the action of Taq DNA polymerase and incorporated with Cy-3dCTP as marker. During the thermal cycling reaction, probes served as solid phase amplification primers and amplification products bound to the oligonucleotide array, which could be visualized by incorporation with fluorescent dyes. After amplification, the oligonucleotide array was washed, performed with laser scanning, and then used for quantitative analysis to obtain the information for mutations. The hybridization results were compared with DNA sequencing. It was demonstrated that in case of sample A, the ratios of fluorescence intensities in wide type and in the mutated types of 1896G-A and 1901G-A mutations in HBV were 3.81:1 and 1:3.79 respectively, while, in case of sample B, those were 1:2.89 and 1:3.03 respectively, indicating the presence of point mutations in these two loci. These results correlated to those obtained from DNA sequencing analysis in which the fluorescence intensity ratios in wide type and in the mutated types of 1996G-A and 1901D-A mutations in HBV were 1.26:1 and 1.67:1 respectively. From the above observations, it is evident that the method using solid phase PCR based on oligonucleotide array appears to be a sensitive and promising way to detect mutations with low-density.
