A different alternative method for simulating bit error rate(BER) performance of Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(DMB) in tunnel environments is presented. The method based on a channel model obtained by ray-tracing is able to support BER estimation over the channel presents arbitrary statistics that are difficult to fit to an analytic expression. The BER performance for System E over the tunnel fading channel that obtained by ray-tracing is predicted by the monte-carlo method. It can be observed that the BER performance for a straight tunnel channel is better than that for a line-of-sight(LOS) area in curved tunnel. Also, the BER performance for LOS areas in a curved tunnel outperforms that for non-line-of-sight(NLOS) areas in a curved tunnel. The BER performances for straight, curved LOS and curved NLOS tunnel channels are better than that for a Rayleigh channel(K=0) and less than that for a Rician channel with K=3. Moreover, for BER=10-3, it can be seen that there is approximately a $1{\sim}1.5\;dB$ difference between those three types of tunnel channels and a Rayleigh channel.

In this paper a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm is developed for real-time locating systems (RTLSs) that employ a direct-sequence spread spectrum technique, along with its performance analysis in multipath environments. The classical correlation method provides relatively good performance in line-of-sight (LOS) environments but its performance seriously degrades in multipath environments, especially when signals are spaced closer than a PN chip. Therefore we shall develop a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm that may estimate the time delays of multipath signals even in closely spaced multipath environments using the MUSIC algorithm for direction-of-arrival estimation and analyze its performance by applying the algorithm to the ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS system.

Many localization algorithms have been proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The IEEE 802.15.4a-based location-aware-system can provide precise ranging distance between two mobile nodes. The mobile nodes can obtain their exact locations by using accurate ranging distances. However, the indoor environments contain various obstacles which cause non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. In NLOS condition, the IEEE 802.15.4a-based location-aware system has a large scale location error. To solve the problem, we propose location error compensation in indoor environment by using MST-based topology control. Experimental and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves location accuracy in NLOS conditions.

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.

In the IEEE 802.15.4a system, they require simple, economical and low power consumption transmitter and receiver to transmit low rate data and to identify distance and location. To meet these requirements, LR-WPAN system use transmitter and receiver with simple modulation and demodulation scheme. In this paper, use PPM+BPSK modulation and windowing scheme to overcome multipath fading effect. Then we apply this channel estimation scheme to LR-WPAN system and compare performance depends on transmitter scheme. Proposed method using preamble to find channel characteristic out and we compensate distorted data with that information. Therefore we can detect signal easily at the demodulation part. Simulation result shows that performance evaluation is greater at the NLOS channel than LOS channel no matter what the receiver scheme.

Several low-cost global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers do not support general range-domain correction, and DGNSS-CP (differential GNSS) method had been suggested to solve this problem. It improves its position accuracy by projecting range-domain corrections to the position-domain and then differentiating the stand-alone position by the projected correction. To project the range-domain correction, line-of-sight vectors from the receiver to each satellite should be calculated. The line-of-sight vectors can be obtained from GNSS broadcast ephemeris data or satellite direction information, and this paper shows positioning performance for the two methods. Stand-alone positioning result provided from Septentrio PolaRx4 Pro receiver was used to show the difference. The satellite direction information can reduce the computing load for the DGNSS-CP by 1/15, even though its root mean square(RMS) of position error is bigger than that of ephemeris data by 0.1m.

Many new radar techniques have appeared on the electronic scene in recent years, such as a variety of automatic computer processing. However, even with the advent of these sophisticated radar techniques, an old problem continues to plague all radars: the problem of transmission line losses. With the higher performance required today, the Waveguide testing and trouble-shooting techniques remain essentially unchanged in principle. This paper dealt with the rf pulse "Time-domain Reflectometry" to inspect radar wave-guide system and compared with the conventional methods. During the investigation, it was verified that the pulsed TDR for wave-guide is superior to the conventional methods; 1. Disassembling is not needed to locate the discontinity points and measure the reflections of trobled points. 2. The results of the data are more precise. 3. The condition of individual component is able to the photographed and recorded permanently. 4. Since rf pulse TDR is based on the well-known basic radar principle, such a test set requires the minimum of training to operate. With the level of transmission line problems, the prospect of increasing complexity of equipment, and no relief in sight, the benifits must be emphasizied to adopt such a testing procedure.procedure.

In order to improve the hitting rate in the shot of rifles, it is required that the analysis of exterior ballistics and the line of sight. One of the important factors influenced a marksman using a rifle obtained the zero-setting of a rifle at the horizontal range, is the deviation of the impact point from the aiming point when the shooting is performed in an inclined ranges. The deviation usually cccurs from the reaction force along the bore line, the characteristics of exterior ballistics, and the error of a shooting range judgement by the inclined range. This study is concerned with the problem of the vertical difference between the impact and aiming point in the inclined shooting ranges. The computing method to find the vertical difference is represented. This method is applied for and experimental rifle in three cases, (1) hofizontal shooting ranges, (2) upper inclined shooting ranges, and (3) lower inclined shooting ranges.

Determining the virial factor of the broad-line region (BLR) gas is crucial in calibrating AGN black hole mass estimators, since the measured line-of-sight velocity needs to be converted into the representative velocity of the BLR gas. The unknown virial factor has been empirically calibrated based on the $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation of non-AGN galaxies, but the claimed values are different by a factor of 2 in recent studies. We investigate the origin of the difference by measuring the $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation using the most updated nearby galaxy sample, and explore the dependence of the virial factor on the various fitting methods. We find that the discrepancy is mostly caused by the sample bias while the difference stemming from various regression methods is marginal. Based on the best-determined virial factor, we present the updated $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation of local active galaxies.

Temperature distribution of 250W high-pressure mercury lamp has been measured by the spectroscopic method using relative intensities of spectral lines. To obtain radial temperature distribution, the measured intensity which was integrated along the line of sight was transformed into radial line intensity by Abel's inversion. Temperature was determined from relative intensities of spectral lines of the same atomic species. The measured temperature of 250W high-pressure mercury lamp is 6000K at the axis. In this experiment temperature profile of high-pressure arc is papabolic as known.
