First, a new recoding truth-table which has a symmetrical complemented relationship between the input minterms (entries that produce an output of 1 or -1) and their corresponding output bits is developed for the redundant signed-digit numbers. Then, the carry-free POSC adder/subtracter is designed by determining the encodings of the redundant bits for generating the sum/difference output bit and the source LEDs pattern. Two design methods are presented: direct implementation and truth-table partitioning. It is shown that the design of the POSC carry-free adder/subtracter has much less pixel subcell (six) in the coding pattern of the POSC system than the previously designed carry-free adder (twelve).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":183796,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1993 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference-NAECON 1993","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124502064","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 well-known backpropagation algorithm and some other training algorithms use this approach. Obviously, this has been very successful in mimicking the way the biological neurons do their function. But the problem of slow learning and getting trapped in local minimas of error function domain deserve serious investigation. Various models are proposed with various levels of success to get rid of these two problems. In this work, we propose a deterministic model of the neuron, that guarantees faster learning by modifying the nonlinearity associated with each neuron. Only one such neuron is required to solve the generalized N-bit parity problem.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":183796,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1993 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference-NAECON 1993","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128184580","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}

Each C-17 ADC Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) provides the equivalent function of two independent ADC channels. A single channel in the ADC features a self contained 1750 SEAFAC certified processor capable of providing air data related flight information via two MIL-STD-1553B remote terminals. There are two ADCs per aircraft shipset, thus providing an equivalent of four independent ADC channels per airplane. The secondary source of input data to the ADC is the 1553B bus. This interface supplies the ADC with unique flight characteristic data which is utilized by the ADC processor to correct altitude and airspeed data for pressure source errors.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":183796,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1993 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference-NAECON 1993","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132257450","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}

This technique of radar signaling can achieve high time-bandwidth products-the primary measure of radar signal processing gain. Since the ability of most radars to detect moving targets against a ground clutter background is often phase noise limited, if is feared that the phase noise of the oscillators required for synthesis of the signal component frequencies could result in a performance degradation that outweighs the performance improvement obtained from the complex signaling scheme. In this paper, the effects of phase noise on the digital Doppler processor of an FSK/PSK signaling radar system are analyzed in a very general fashion. These results can be applied to other types of radar systems that use other forms of pulse compression and also to systems that use no pulse compression. The analysis is based on a complete radar system stochastic process model and simplifying assumptions are made based on practical component characteristics. The paper concludes with a helpful example.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":183796,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1993 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference-NAECON 1993","volume":"51 Pt 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126237150","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}
