Performance Analysis of Spectrum Sensing Based on Distributed Satellite Clusters under Perturbation

In this paper,we investigate the spectrum sensing performance of a distributed satellite clusters(DSC)under perturbation,aiming to enhance the sensing ability of weak signals in the coexistence of strong and weak signals.Specifically,we propose a cooperative beamforming(BF)algorithm though random antenna array theory to fit the location characteristic of DSC and derive the average far-field beam pattern under perturbation.Then,a constrained optimization problem with maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR)is modeled to obtain the BF weight vectors,and an approximate expression of SINR is presented in the presence of the mismatch of signal steering vector.Finally,we derive the closedform expression of the detection probability for the considered DSC over Shadowed-Rician fading channels.Simulation results are provided to validate our theoretical analysis and to characterize the impact of various parameters on the system performance.

Distributed Satellite Cluster Network:a Survey

The ability of the monolithic satellite,satellite orbit(especially GEO),and radio resource are very limited,so the development of distributed satellite cluster network(DSCN) receives more and more worldwide attention.In this paper,DSCN is surveyed and the study status of DSCN architecture design is summarized.The formation flying of spacecrafts,reconfiguration,networking,and applied research on distributed satellite spacecraft are described in detail.The DSCN will provide a great technology innovation for space information network,satellite communications,satellite navigation,deep space exploration,and space remote sensing.In addition,this paper points out future trends of the DSCN development.

Comprehensive Research on the Origin of the Solar System Structure by Quantum-like Model

A quantum-like model of gravitational system is introduced to explore the formation of the solar system structure. In this model, the chaos behavior of a large number of original nebular particles in a gravitational field can be described in terms of the wave function satisfying formal Schr?dinger equation, in which the Planck constant is replaced by a constant on cosmic scale. Numerical calculation shows that the radial distribution density of the particles has the character of wave curves with decreasing amplitudes and elongating wavelengths. By means of this model, many questions of the solar system, such as the planetary distance, mass, energy, angular momentum, the distribution of satellites, the structure of the planetary rings, and the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt etc., can be explained in reason. In addition, the abnormal rotations of Venus and Mercury can be naturally explained by means of the quantum-like model.

Highly robust ground moving target detection and relocation method for distributed satellites

The performance of ground moving target detection for distributed satellites will be affected signifi-cantly when there is an image registration error,clutter decorrelation and array error.In this paper,a new approach to moving target detection and relocation is proposed based on multi-channel and multi-pixel adap-tive signal processing in an image domain.First,multi-channel and multi-pixel joint data are equated to a simple array model.Given that there is an image registration error,the real steering vector of the moving target can be estimated through a space projection approach.The optimal beam forming approach is used to cancel clutter,and at the same time the cross-track velocity of the mov-ing target can be determined by searching for the peak value of the cost function.The moving target can then be relocated on the SAR image.The simulation results indicate that this method has a good robustness to image registration error,clutter decorrelation and array error.The detection performance and the estimation accuracy are significantly improved.
