The proposed filter is named as Improved high-degree cubature Kalman filter (IHDCKF). The filter is applied to estimate the states of a nonlinear system and it shows enhanced accuracy compared to the cubature Kalman filter (CKF), the cubature quadrature Kalman filter (CQKF) and the high- degree cubature Kalman filter (HDCKF).","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128529464","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 Gaussian mixture model is chosen to model the impulsive noise and its effect on the performance of rate 1/2 and rate 1/3 turbo codes on the TWRC is evaluated through simulation results and extrinsic information transfer (ExIT) charts. An error floor analysis is also presented for different mixtures, α, of impulsive noise and theoretical bounds are derived that explain the source of the error floors exhibited in the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125876182","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}

We are interested in estimating signal amplitude and noise power based on the outputs from filters that match transmitted waveforms at different ranges and bearing angles. These parameters identify the distributions in, for example, likelihood ratio tests used by detection algorithms and characterise the probability of detection and false alarm rates. Because they are observed through measurements induced by a (hidden) target process, the associated parameter likelihood has a time recursive structure which involves estimation of the target state based on the filter outputs. We use a track-before-detect scheme for maintaining a Bernoulli target model and updating the parameter likelihood. We use a maximum likelihood strategy and demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach with an example.","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132678180","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}

These systems utilize the satellite signal time of arrival estimates to solve for position. Multipath corrupts the time of arrival estimates by distorting the signal tracking phase discriminator; which results in a slowly time- varying phase bias. This bias ranges from several centimeters to tens of meters. The submeter bias is the most problematic for centimeter positioning systems. Moreover, in addition to multipath, the GPS spread spectrum code is unbalanced for certain space vehicles which can lead to a code tracking phase bias. A new correlation kernel is proposed as part of a multipath mitigating delay-locked- loop code phase discriminator that does not suffer a tracking bias due to unbalanced spreading codes. This new algorithm performance is compared to existing techniques with respect to position bias and robustness.","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"155–156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116573344","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 performance of such algorithms is directly affected by the size of the grid: increasing the number of points will enhance the resolution of the algorithm but exponentially increase its complexity. In this work, to estimate the parameters of a target, a reduced complexity super resolution algorithm is proposed. For off-the-grid targets, it uses a low order two dimensional fast Fourier transform to determine a suboptimal solution and then an iterative algorithm to jointly estimate the spatial location and Doppler shift. Simulation results show that the mean square estimation error of the proposed estimators achieve the Craḿer-Rao lower bound.","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123123536","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}

First of all potential benefit in terms of reduction of the number of radiating elements is shown when a conical array is considered with respect to a traditional system formed by four planar arrays, if a coverage of 360° must be assured. Secondly, having in mind an innovative digital array system where the received signals are analog to digital converted at element level and the corresponding data are possibly transferred to a central elaboration unit, an alternative approach is investigated for angular estimation. In this paper we derive the theoretical expression of the Cramer Rao Lower Bound for elevation angle estimation using a cluster of beams; we compare the limit performance of the traditional approach for angle estimation based on Sum and Difference beams with the approach based on a crowded cluster of RX beams properly spaced. The approaches show approximately equivalent performance, making the second particularly interesting for those situations where monopulse is known to experience performance degradation, as low elevation angle estimation; in this particular case an example of cluster design is shown, where the direct signal from a low altitude target must compete with a specular multipath.","PeriodicalId":212668,"journal":{"name":"2015 Sensor Signal Processing for Defence (SSPD)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115858651","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}
