In this regard, special attention is paid to the analysis of existing techniques for calculating zones of a probable lightning strike and their compliance with standards. Specificity of the task and features of the lightning protection system made it possible to generalize this data and propose an optimal technique for calculating such zones. At the same time, the possibilities of numerical modeling of physical processes provided by the specialized software modules were used to the fullest extent possible. At the second stage of the work, the degree of destabilizing effect of a direct lightning strike in the body of a launch vehicle was assessed, as well as the effect of an electromagnetic field caused by a lightning strike into the elements of the lightning protection system of the spaceport. Taking into account the specific nature of the problem and the features of the lightning protection system, a new method for calculating the destabilizing effect of a lightning strike is proposed. Its difference from alternative methods is to more accurately simulate the dynamics of current propagation and the fields it induces in conductive structures when exposed to a lightning pulse of various shapes. The results of modeling and calculation presented in the presentation should be considered as an illustration of the application of the developed methodology.","PeriodicalId":167305,"journal":{"name":"2018 9th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131059225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estimations of the level of distortion of image contours are given depending on the detail and texture characteristics on large areas of the image with a smooth brightness variation. The choice of test images containing low-contrast textures with different levels of medium brightness is justified. As a measure of the distortion between the original and the decoded image, the ratio of the peak value of the signal to the average noise value at the boundary of the contours of objects in the image is selected. The boundaries were detected by a gradient method. Compression factors are calculated for varying the thresholds of the restriction of the spectral components at different levels of the wavelet decomposition. A variant of the frequency-dependent restriction of the spectral components is proposed, which is determined for each of the subbands. Appropriate values of the compression ratio for the coding method based on the prediction of bit planes for a given set of images are presented.","PeriodicalId":167305,"journal":{"name":"2018 9th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134172384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shape reconstruction method is based on delay-and-sum (DAS) algorithm, enables short range imaging in a particular environment. The images of the multiple aspects of the target are obtained by superimposing the data calculated at different positions. The experiment was performed on several targets with different shapes under a sparse cross array topology with an antenna spacing of 2.5 lambda and a commercial IR-UWB radar chip with a fractional bandwidth of 34%. According to the experimental results, the 3-D shape of multiple aspects of the target can be reconstructed and provide more information than imaging one aspect. Therefore, the results of this paper show that the more complex shape of the target can be reconstructed by using the proposed method. Furthermore, the method may be used in inspection applications to help make judgments in the future.","PeriodicalId":167305,"journal":{"name":"2018 9th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122091086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
