The problem is posed as one of joint detection and parameter estimation in the face of unknown, structured noise. A reduced-rank likelihood ratio array processor is derived, and its ability to detect and localize sources of interest is demonstrated. A key feature of reduced-rank signal processing is its ability to discard undesirable information from data matrices by their low rank approximation. Computer simulations demonstrate its viability under a wide range of operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124903911","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 close proximity of the radio operator's body results in the scattered field from the body reradiating and perturbing the known free-space current distribution in the antennas to some extent. However, due to the extremely small electrical size of the radiating system, this body-to-radio coupling is assumed to be minimal and henceforth neglected. Thus, a direct moment method is used to solve a volumetric electric field integral equation with the near field of the radio as the excitation field. Once the equivalent volumetric currents are determined, the efficiency and radiation patterns are found using these currents and the unperturbed free space current of the radio antenna.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131168692","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}

Attitude is measured by an Earth horizon sensor, and control torque is produced by magnetic torquer bars and a pitch momentum or reaction wheel. The controller must achieve good tracking, environmental disturbance rejection, and robustness to modeling errors. Loop-shaping filters are used so that the roll and yaw magnetic torquer bars control pitch attitude at low frequency, while the pitch wheel controls pitch attitude at high frequency.
