Missile and target closing velocity is used in the proportional navigation(PN) missile guidance loop. But it is difficult to estimate the closing velocity when passive seeker is used and only the Line-of-Sight(LOS) rate is available in the guidance loop. In this study, new closing velocity estimation method is developed. This method uses LOS rate measurement only and uses some characteristics of PN guidance law. The Lyapunov method is used to analyze the stability of the developed estimation method.

In this study, we consider visible light communication in an indoor line-of-sight environment. It has been proved that among the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques, spatial modulation (SM) performs better than repetition coding (RC) and spatial multiplexing (SMP). On the basis of a combination of SM and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), here, we propose an enhanced SM algorithm to improve the bit error rate. Traditional SM activates only one light-emitting diode (LED) at one time, and the proposed enhanced SM activates two LEDs at one time and reduces the intensity levels of PAM by half. Under the condition of a highly correlated channel, power imbalance is used to improve the algorithm performance. The comparison between the two schemes is implemented at the same signal-to-noise ratio. The simulation results illustrate that the enhanced SM outperforms the traditional SM in both highly correlated and lowly correlated channels. Furthermore, the proposed enhanced SM scheme can increase the transmission rate in most cases.

We derive and analyze a bit error rate(BER) expression of a Gray coded rectangular QAM(R-QAM) signal with maximal ratio combining diversity(MRC) reception over Nakagami-n(Rician) fading channels. The derived result is provided in terms of the Whittaker function and the confluent hypergeometric function. In addition, by performance comparison with M-PSK, we see the Nakagami-n fading channel characteristics. Because the derived expression is general, it can readily allow numerical e·valuation for various cases of practical interest such as line-of-sight (LOS) or satellite communication channel analysis.

The off-axis Infra-Red(IR) seeker is mounted on the nose cone side of the anti-air high speed missile to alleviate thermal shield effect due to aerodynamic heating. The seeker output can not be regarded as the Line-of-Sight(LOS) rate any more as missile's roll motion to keep the target tracking is associated. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the LOS rate for off-axis seeker on a 2-axis gimbal. Firstly, true LOS rate equations are analytically derived but not implementable because boresight error rate is not measurable. And then the first order lag approximation to obtain boresight error rate is proposed. The proposed LOS rate calculation method can compensate the coupling effect by considering the rotations of missile and gimbal. The performance of the proposed method is verified via full nonlinear 6-DOF(Degree of Freedom) simulations.

The guidance system which uses the line-of-sight(LOS) rate to guide the missile towards its target has been used to the conventional differential game, such as the pursuer-evader game. Proportional navigation guidance and its derivatives have been shown to be an effective LOS rate guidance system. In this paper, we have used the genetic algorithm to construct the guidance system for the pursuer-evader type differential game. Also we have proposed the prediction model to obtain the informations about the intention of future actions of the pursuer and the evader.

This paper deals with the problem of generating the energy optimal trajectory which is intended to enhance the target tracking performance of a passive homing missile. Noticing that the essence of passive target tracking is the range estimation problem, the target information gathered by passive measurements can be readily analyzed by introducing the range estimator designed in line-of-sight(LOS) frame. Moreover, for the linear filter structure of the suggested range estimator, the cost function associated with the target information is clearly expressed as a function of the line-of-sight rate. Based on this idea, the optimal missile trajectory maximizing the target information is obtained by solving the saddle point problem for an indefinite quadratic cost which consists of the target information and the energy. It is shown that, different from the previous heuristic approaches, the guidance command producing the optimal passive homing trajectory is produced by the modified proportional navigation guidance law whose navigation constant is determined by the weighting coefficient for target information cost.

A communications profile is a system that acquires information from communication links to an ambulance or other vehicle moving on a road and compiles a database based on this information. The equipment (six sets of HDTVs, fish-eye camera, satellite antenna with tracking system, and receiving power from the satellite beacon of the N-star) mounted on the roof of the vehicle, image data were obtained at Yokohama Japan. From these data, the polygon of the building was actually produced and has arranged on the map of the Geographical Survey Institute of a 50 m-mesh. The optical study (relationship between visibility rate and elevation angle) were performed on actual data taken by fish-eye lens, and simulated data by 3D-Map with polygons. There was no big difference. This 3D map system then predicts the communication links that will be available at a given location. For line-of-sight communication, optical analysis allows approximation if the frequency is sufficiently high. For non-line-of-sight communication, previously obtained electric power data can be used as reference information for approximation in certain cases when combined with predicted values calculated based on a 3D map. 3D maps are more effective than 2D maps for landing emergency medical helicopters on public roadways in the event of a disaster. Using advanced imaging technologies, we have produced a semi-automatic creation of a high-precision 3D map at Yokohama Yamashita Park and vicinity and assessed its effectiveness on telecommunications and ambulatory merits.

In this paper, to investigate the possibility of fading reduction effect and high transmission rate in indoor multipath propagation environment, we measured and analyzed broadband signal conducting by frequency sweeping method in LOS(Line-of-Sight) environment. In measuring, we used vertically polarized, horizonatally polarized and circularly polarized and circularly polarized antenna to compare the fading reduction effect and the characteristic of bandwidth amplitude fluctuation between each broadband signals. As a result, it can be seen that the circularly polarized antenna can reduce the amplitude deviation of the broadband signal because it can remove the odd-times reflected wave in LOS environment. And also, It was found that the best effective diversity reception method is to use polarization branches, which install a circularly polarized antenna at the transmitting end and compose the vertical and horizontal antenna at the receiving end.

In recent years, RFID is widely used in industrial applications including factory, material flow, logistics and defense areas. In this paper, The convolutional encoding and viterbi decoding is also implemented to improve the system performance. in an FPGA chip. The used convolution code is constraint length K=3 and rate R=1/2. The length of command frame and response frame is total of 48bits consisting of SOF 8 bits, command 16 bits, CRC 16 bit, and EOF 8 bits. And also the frame error rates are measured under the channel of line-of-sight and non line-of-sight, respectively. The performances are analyzed with FSK modulation only and FSK modulation added with convolutional encoding. These two measured results are compared with that of a RFID system with ASK modulation.

This paper proposes a new composite guidance law that can intercept moving targets and satisfy look angle rate constraint. In order to obtain the composite guidance law, we first develop a new look angle rate control guidance law which can maintain the maximum look angle rate limitation. And then, we propose the composite guidance scheme on the basis of the look angle rate control guidance and the proportional navigation guidance. To investigate the capturablity and characteristics of the proposed guidance, we also derive closed-form solutions and perform various numerical simulations. The proposed composite guidance only requires the line-of-sight rate, closing velocity, and missile's speed, thereby easily implementing in practical homing missiles.
