REVISITING THE DOPPLER FILTER OF LEO SATELLITE GNSS RECEIVERS FOR PRECISE VELOCITY ESTIMATION

The theoretical aspects of the precise velocity determination of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites'on board Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers are derived. It shows that the receiver's Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is required to feature extremely small group delay within its low frequency band, which is in contrast to existing work that proposed wide band linear phase filters. Following this theory, a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is proposed. To corroborate, the proposed FIR filter and an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter lately proposed in literals are implemented in a LEO satellite onboard GNSS receiver. Tests are conducted using a third party commercial GPS signal generator. The results show that the GNSS receiver with the proposed FIR achieves 11 mm/s R.M.S precision, while the GNSS receiver with the IIR filter has a filter-caused velocity error that can not be ignored for space borne GNSS receivers.

Application of Different Frequency Domain Detectors in Radar Moving Target Detection

Moving target detection （MTD） technique is designed to filtering out the clutters. The basis of the MTD digital signal processor is a bank of Doppler filters designed using FFT algorithm. For high pulse repetition frequency （HPRF）, it leads to a long time calculations and great complexity in hardware implementation. Frequency domain detector is represented by Welch method Realized Doppler filters bank which will reduce the time calculation. The proposed method enhances the target detection capabilities by providing higher detection probabilities or lower false alarm rates. The performance of the two systems, the traditional MTD-I and Welch method are compared from the viewpoint of probability of detection （Pd）, probability of false alarm （Pfa）. Computer simulation results are presented to support the superiority of the proposed technique.

Rlationship between the aerosol scattering ratio and temperature of atmosphere and the sensitivity of a Doppler wind lidar with iodine filter

The sensitivity of Doppler wind lidar is an important parameter which affects the performance of Doppler wind lidar. Aerosol scattering ratio, atmospheric temperature, and wind speed obviously affect the measurement of Doppler wind lidar with iodine filter. We discuss about the relationship between the measurement sensitivity and the above atmospheric parameters. The numerical relationship between them is given through the theoretical simulation and calculation.

Modified fast Fourier transform in FBMC for satellite communications

In this paper,a Doppler scaling fast Fourier transform（Doppler-FFT）algorithm for filter bank multi-carrier（FBMC）is proposed,which can efficiently eliminate the impact of the Doppler scaling in satellite communications.By introducing a Doppler scaling factor into the butterfly structure of the fast Fourier transform（FFT）algorithm,the proposed algorithm eliminates the differences between the Doppler shifts of the received subcarriers,and maintains the same order of computational complexity compared to that of the traditional FFT.In the process of using the new method,the Doppler scaling should be estimated by calculating the orbital data in advance.Thus,the inter-symbol interference（ISI）and the inter-carrier interference（ICI）can be completely eliminated,and the signal to interference and noise ratio（SINR）will not be affected.Simulation results also show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a 0.4 d B performance gain compared to the frequency domain equalization（FDE）algorithm in satellite communications.
