This paper deals with the comparisons of methodologies to express finite rotations accounting for analysis of the rotor system. Researches have been made to predict a behavior of its rotational motion by introducing Euler angles which turned out to be lack in consistency and exactness of the analysis. To overcome this deficiency a new methodology is applied by using both spherical coordinate and quaternion in the rotor rotation and shows its superiority over choices of the Euler angle in terms of kinetic energy and rotation velocity. It is found through numerical examples that quaternion is a more useful and valid tool to derive the ideal numerical model of the rotor system.

A new transfer alignment algorithm using the velocity and the quaternion partial matching methods is proposed to reduce the effect of a ship's Y-axis flexure on the performance of azimuth error estimation of Kalman filter. The simulation results show that it can significantly reduce the effect of Y-axis flexure on error estimation by the transfer alignment algorithm. As its results, azimuth transfer alignment error is reached up to 3 mrad under proper roll and pitch attitude motion of the ship.

This article presents techniques for improved estimation of symbol timing offset (STO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) for dual-polarization (DP) orthogonal frequency division multiplex (DP-OFDM) systems. Recently, quaternion multiple-input multiple-output OFDM has been proposed for high spectral efficiency communication systems, which can flexibly explore different types of diversities such as space, time, frequency, and polarization. This article focuses on synchronization techniques for DP-OFDM systems using a cyclic prefix, where the application of quaternion algebra leads to new improved estimators. Simulations performed for DP system methods show faster reduction of STO estimator variance with a double-slope line in the logvariance line versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plot compared with singlepolarization (SP) counterparts, and simulations for CFO estimates show a 3-dB gain of DP over SP estimates for same SNR values defined, respectively, for quaternion-valued or complex-valued signals. Cramer-Rao bounds for STO and CFO are derived for the synchronization methods, correlating with the observed gains of DP over SP OFDM systems.

Kalman filter based spacecraft attitude estimation has been used in many space missions and has been widely discussed in literature. While some models in spacecraft attitude estimation include spacecraft dynamics, most do not. To our best knowledge, there is no comparison on which model is a better choice. In this paper, we discuss the reasons why spacecraft dynamics should be considered in the Kalman filter based spacecraft attitude estimation problem. We also propose a reduced quaternion spacecraft dynamics model which admits additive noise. Geometry of the reduced quaternion model and the additive noise are discussed. This treatment is easier in computation than the one with full quaternion. Simulations are conducted to verify our claims.

This paper presents algorithm including Kalman filter for transfer alignment of velocity and quaternion matching method, when master inertial navigation system is a gimbled type and slave inertial navigation system is a strapdown type on a cruising ship which is naturally in motion of horizontal axis attitude. And relative attitudes are considered on a measurement equation for quaternion matching between master INS and slave INS.

Let L/F be a Galois quadratic extension such that F contains a primitive n-th root of 1. Let N = L(${\alpha}^{{\frac{1}{n}}$) where ${\alpha}{\in}L{\ast}$. We show that if $N_{L/F}({\alpha})\;{\in}L^n{\cap}F$, and [N : L] = m, then $G(N/ F) {\simeq}D_m$ or generalized quaternion group whether $N_{L/F}({\alpha})\;{\in}\;F^n\;or\;{\notin}F^n$, respectively.

A new method of quaternion feedback control for the attitude acquisition of spacecraft is suggested to limit the angular rates of rigid body which are not desirable and make a control algorithm complicate. New attitude acquisition control algorithm is evaluated and compared with the existing quaternion feedback control method for the large slewing maneuvers through simulations. The simulation results reveal that a new method is effective on limiting the angular rates of spacecraft.

A sliding mode control of spacecraft attitude tracking with actuator, especially reaction wheel, is presented. The sliding mode controller is derived based on quaternion parameterization for the kinematic equations of motion. The reaction wheel dynamic equations represented by wheel input voltage are presented. The input voltage to wheel is calculated from the sliding mode controller and reaction wheel dynamics. The global asymptotic stability is shown using a Lyapunov analysis. In addition the robustness analysis is performed for nonlinear system with parameter variations and disturbances. It is shown that the controller ensures control objectives for the spacecraft with reaction wheels.
