Satellite motion is a kind of the incomplete reciprocity and can result that the uplink geometry paths aren't equal to the downlink geometry paths. Satellite motion's correction depends on the satellite velocity and time difference between the signal from two stations arrive at the satellite.","PeriodicalId":256670,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium Proceedings","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831176","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 accuracy was limited to about 0.5 ppm by the degree to which the analog thermistor networks could track the crystal temperature curve. The advent of digital compensation eliminated the curve fitting problem, but accuracy was still limited to about 0.1 ppm due to retrace problems in the oscillator. Making the oscillator pullable also made it less stable. The effect was reduced by synthesizing the output frequency in some way rather than pulling the crystal to frequency. This also allowed the use of SC-cut crystals and improved the accuracy to a few parts in 108. Dual mode temperature sensing improved thermal tracking, but hysteresis effects in the crystal still limited the accuracy. Implementation of a dual mode oscillator presents some challenges that, depending on the circuit, may result in additional hysteresis being introduced by circuit elements.","PeriodicalId":256670,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium Proceedings","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121343411","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 appearance of liquid loading would lead to the energy leakage of APM and the reasons are various. According to acoustic wave propagation theory in the layered medium, this paper establishes the APM analysis model with liquid loading. Using non-viscous liquid, conductive liquid and viscous liquid as examples, by numerical simulations of general APM, sagittal APM and shear-horizontal APM, the APM energy leakage with liquid loading is researched, and the reasons are concluded. Furthermore, the two-dimensional analysis model of leaky APM is established by adding attenuation factor in the expressions of acoustic field components. The leaky APM propagation velocity and attenuation factor are obtained by the method of “surface effective permittivity rough-searching” added by “boundary conditions coefficient determinant refined-searching. The APM devices are designed and tested. The experimental results are in agreement with the numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":256670,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125816956","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}

Such systems generally suffer from code collision problems, necessitating complex post-processing to avoid negatively impacting sensor calibration and system accuracy. Thus, development of groups of codes that exhibit very low cross-correlation is desirable to implement code diversity in passive wireless sensor systems. This paper discusses generation and analysis of Gold codes, a know class of codes with desirable cross-correlation properties. A logical criteria-based method for the `exhaustive' analysis of codes of a given length is also presented, applying a selected set of screening techniques to rapidly evaluate all possible candidate codes to a sufficient degree. Using this technique, sets of codes can be found that perform well in asynchronous correlation-based wireless sensor systems, reducing the need for complex post-processing.","PeriodicalId":256670,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium Proceedings","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116742116","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}
