Based on the differential techniques, the oscillator phase noise, which is the main error source for microwave ranging systems, can be significantly attenuated. Further, since the range measurements are derived on the same satellite, the dual transponder ranging system does not need a time tagging system to synchronize the two satellites. In view of the lack of oscillator noise analysis on the dual transponder ranging model, a comprehensive analysis of oscillator noise effects on ranging accuracy is provided. First, the dual transponder ranging system is described with emphasis on the detailed analysis of oscillator noise on measurement precision. Then, a high-fidelity numerical simulation approach based on the power spectrum density of an actual ultra-stable oscillator is carried out in both frequency domain and time domain to support the presented theoretical analysis. The simulation results under different conditions are consistent with the proposed concepts, which makes the results reliable. Besides, the results demonstrate that a high level of accuracy can be achieved by using this oscillator noise cancelation-oriented ranging method.展开更多

The line-spectrum noise of the counter-rotation propellers is due to the interaction between fore or aft propeller and wake of the vehicle,and the interaction between fore and aft propeller. Based on a combination of the lifting surface theory and acoustic method, the prediction of line-spectrum noise is presented in this paper.Theoretical calculation method, characteristics and numerical prediction of the line-spectrum noise are detailed too. The effect of different wake and different distance between fore and aft propeller on the propeller noise is also studied by numerical method. The agreement of predicted results compared with existing experimental data is quite satisfactory.展开更多
