The method employs only one analog to digital (A/D) convertor to sample and digitize the IF signal directly, eliminating the need for IF to be mixed to zero IF in form of two parallel baseband channels. An imaginary frequency rejecting filter and a secondary resampling circuit for frequency shifting are used to provide in-phase and quadrature components I and Q from the digital samples. Thus the problem of matching gain and phase response difference between the two channels is avoided. The digital frequency shifting circuits were simplified by properly selecting the IF carrier and the sampling interval. The experimental results show that the imaginary frequency level less then -50 dB is obtained by using 8 order filter.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

We found that for this particular real-time avionics application, the base SCI technology is sufficient to build a parallel computer which can solve the application within the required real-time requirements. We do not conclude that SCI is sufficient for all real-time avionics applications; rather, we advocate utilizing this experimental methodology to test, for a given real-time avionics application, whether the base SCI technology can solve the problem within the problem's constraints.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

The aircraft configuration also impacts control response through variations in center of gravity and moments of inertia. Hence, designing a flight control system (FCS) to accommodate the full flight envelope and configuration set of an aircraft is clearly a complex undertaking. Quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is a robust control design method which provides an avenue of approach to full-envelope flight control design. Furthermore, a QFT-based design method gives the engineer direct control over compensator order and gain. In this paper, a full subsonic flight envelope FCS is designed for the VISTA F-16 aircraft using QFT for four representative aircraft configurations. In addition, flying qualities are imbedded in the longitudinal design by using a control variable which varies with the aircraft's energy state throughout the flight envelope. This variable is a linear combination of the aircraft's pitch channel states and is synthesized to closely reflect the actual control desires of the pilot throughout the aircraft flight envelope. The strict control of the compensator order and gain allowed by QFT facilitates the attainment of desired performance while avoiding physical actuator saturations. Linear simulations with realistically large control inputs are used to validate the design.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

Holographic imaging in volume phase media is examined from the perspective of coupled wave diffraction theory for thick sinusoidal grating structures. Thermally fixed, phase-written volume holograms are discussed and a novel direction of arrival sensor element is proposed for laser warning receiver applications.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.
