In contrast to cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning strikes to aircraft, where measurements of CG flash measurements may be extended to aircraft strikes, CC and IC flashes are not so accessible. The effects of CC and IC flashes differ from CG flash largely owing to the earth resistance present in CG flashes which imposes limits on the lightning return stroke. It applies the experimentally-attested transmission line model which was reviewed in a previous companion paper to assess the impact on metallic and carbon fiber composite (CFC) structures of modern aircraft. It compares the electrical impact of CC lightning flash on aircraft made of CFC and metallic structures. The simulations and analysis of voltages and the first return stroke current waveforms demonstrate the important distinctions in the characteristics of direct CC lightning effects on metallic and non-metallic airframes. Among the significant results observed are large differences in current time derivatives on the surface of the carbon fiber composites and metallic airframes. Further observations show that there are rise times for the voltage and currents which fall within the subnano and submicro seconds yielding large time derivatives for both the voltages and the currents. This can have important implications for the shielding and protection of the aircraft electrical and electronics systems.","PeriodicalId":240170,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132755151","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 proposed methods have several advantages, such as good identification accuracy, simple hardware configuration, and easy extension. Method 1 uses a single winding high-frequency sinusoidal voltage exciting method. By injecting a fixed-amplitude, fixed-frequency sinusoidal voltage, the exciting current, which is related to the impedance of the winding, can be detected. By measuring the amplitude and phase between the input voltage and current, the coin feature can be identified and then a `true' or `fake' coin can be determined. Method 2 uses a square-wave voltage exciting method. Two windings are used. The primary winding is connected to the square-wave voltage, and the second winding is used to measure the induced voltage. The induced voltage waveform of the secondary winding is varied as a coin passes through. By using Fourier analysis, the proposed system can determine the coin as a `true' or `fake' coin. The performance of these two methods is compared and discussed. Finally, a normalization technique of method 2 is discussed. By using the normalization technique, the accuracy rate of method 2 can reach 90%, which is better than the accuracy rate of method 1.","PeriodicalId":240170,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121774387","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}

One of these applications is detection of passive objects of artificial origin containing electronic circuits or other non-explosive elements incorporated into the firing train of hidden explosive hazards means. Prior research has shown that a single frequency RF signal is well suited to the task of illuminating such scatterers to excite their nonlinear response and commercially available devices based on this principle have appeared since the 1970s. However, this basic approach without any carrier modulation may limit efficiency of energy transmission to the nonlinear scatterer. Therefore, investigation of appropriate modulation schemes can reveal their potential benefits in harmonic radar detection systems. This paper presents an initial concept of novel detection method using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulated signal for simultaneous detection of nonlinear scatterers with both quadratic and cubic characteristics. The use of BPSK signal brings interesting benefits to the fundamental detection of components at multiples of the carrier frequency and, at the same time, allows achieving significant reduction of transmit signal power at the carrier frequency. The proposed algorithms use cyclostationary features of linear digital modulations along with correlation based processing in some parts and are implemented using MATLAB.","PeriodicalId":240170,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130577830","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}
