To ensure high-precision measurements and performance sta-bility across diverse environments, stringent requirements are placed on the dynamic range of its receiving system. This paper provides a detailed exposition of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based automatic gain control (AGC) design for the spaceborne scatterometer. Implemented on an FPGA, the algo-rithm harnesses its parallel processing capabilities and high-speed performance to monitor the received echo signals in real time. Employing an adaptive AGC algorithm, the system gene-rates gain control codes applicable to the intermediate fre-quency variable attenuator, enabling rapid and stable adjust-ment of signal amplitudes from the intermediate frequency amplifier to an optimal range. By adopting a purely digital pro-cessing approach, experimental results demonstrate that the AGC algorithm exhibits several advantages, including fast con-vergence, strong flexibility, high precision, and outstanding sta-bility. This innovative design lays a solid foundation for the high-precision measurements of the Ocean 4A scatterometer, with potential implications for the future of spaceborne microwave scatterometers.展开更多

文摘To address the significant degradation of Space-Time Adaptive Processing(STAP)performance when the array elements have mutual coupling and gain/phase errors,a STAP algorithm with adaptive calibration for the above two array errors is proposed in this article.First,based on a defined error matrix that simultaneously considers both array mutual coupling and gain/phase errors,a STAP signal model including these errors is given.Then,utilizing the defined signal model,it is demonstrated that the estimation of the defined error matrix can be formulized as a standard convex optimization problem with the low-rank structure of the clutter covariance matrix and the subspace projection theory.Once the defined error matrix is estimated by solving the convex optimization problem,it is illustrated that a STAP method with adaptive calibration of the mutual coupling and gain/phase errors is coined.Analyses also show that the proposed adaptive calibration algorithm only needs one training sample to construct the adaptive weight vector.Therefore,it can achieve a good detection performance even with severe non-homogeneous clutter environments.Finally,the simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the correctness of the analytical results.
文摘Objectives:This study was conducted to determine the effect of multidisciplinary nursing intervention(MNI)on interdialytic weight gain(IDWG)and quality of life(QoL)among chronic hemodialysis patients.Materials and Methods:Quantitative research approach with randomized-controlled,single-blind trial was conducted among 120 chronic hemodialysis patients in Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital Bhubaneswar,Odisha,India from February 2023 to February 2024.Participants were randomly assigned into the experimental group(n1=65)and control group(n2=55)by block randomization methods.The experimental group received the intervention phase up to the 6th week,along with the usual treatment,and the control group received only standard treatment up to the end of the study.After that,they received the diet chart plan and fluid distribution timetable.Results:Significant improvements were found in IDWG and QoL for the experimental group.The experimental group exhibited a sharp decline in weight gain within the group(F=20.05,P<0.001)between the group(F=13.02,P<0.001),interaction effects between the groups across the time point(F=5.67,P<0.005).Kidney disease QoL scores(KDQOL^(TM)36)increased from 49.38±9.56 to 58.63±6.04 in the experimental group,compared to an increase from 50.84±9.25 to 52.04±8.02 in the control group.Conclusion:This trial showed that MNIs significantly reduced IDWG and improved KDQOL^(TM)36 scores,with the experimental group outperforming the control,highlighting the intervention’s effectiveness.
文摘The Ocean 4A scatterometer, expected to be launched in 2024, is poised to be the world’s first spaceborne microwave scatterometer utilizing a digital beamforming system. To ensure high-precision measurements and performance sta-bility across diverse environments, stringent requirements are placed on the dynamic range of its receiving system. This paper provides a detailed exposition of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based automatic gain control (AGC) design for the spaceborne scatterometer. Implemented on an FPGA, the algo-rithm harnesses its parallel processing capabilities and high-speed performance to monitor the received echo signals in real time. Employing an adaptive AGC algorithm, the system gene-rates gain control codes applicable to the intermediate fre-quency variable attenuator, enabling rapid and stable adjust-ment of signal amplitudes from the intermediate frequency amplifier to an optimal range. By adopting a purely digital pro-cessing approach, experimental results demonstrate that the AGC algorithm exhibits several advantages, including fast con-vergence, strong flexibility, high precision, and outstanding sta-bility. This innovative design lays a solid foundation for the high-precision measurements of the Ocean 4A scatterometer, with potential implications for the future of spaceborne microwave scatterometers.

文摘This paper proposes a separated trajectory tracking controller for fishing ships at sea state level 6 to solve the trajectory tracking problem of a fishing ship in a 6-level sea state,and to adapt to different working environments and safety requirements.The nonlinear feedback method is used to improve the closed-loop gain shaping algorithm.By introducing the sine function,the problem of excessive control energy of the system can be effectively solved.Moreover,an integral separation design is used to solve the influence of the integral term in conventional PID controllers on the transient performance of the system.In this paper,a common 32.98 m large fiberglass reinforced plastic(FRP)trawler is adopted for simulation research at the winds scale of Beaufort No.7.The results show that the track error is smaller than 3.5 m.The method is safe,feasible,concise and effective and has popularization value in the direction of fishing ship trajectory tracking control.This method can be used to improve the level of informatization and intelligence of fishing ships.
文摘This research presents a compact,high-gain millimeter-wave antenna tailored for reliable 5 G communication in high-speed railway environments.The proposed antenna supports dual-band operation at 28 GHz(n257/n258)and 38 GHz(n260),enabling robust Vehicle-to-Infrastructure(V2I)links required for next-generation railway systems.The radiator occupies only 12 mm×8mm on a Rogers 6010LM substrate(ε_(r)=10.2,h=0.64 mm).A Metallic Ground-Backing(MGB)reflector,positioned 9mm behind the patch—λ/4 at 28 GHz—enhances forward radiation,suppresses back-lobes,and ensures highly directional coverage along railway tracks.The antenna achieves measured peak gains of 7.96 dBi at 28 GHz and 8.20 dBi at 38 GHz,with excellent impedance matching and stable radiation patterns under mobility scenarios.Its unique combination of compact footprint,reflectoraided gain enhancement,and stable dual-band performance under dynamic conditions distinguishes it from conventional millimeter-wave solutions,making it a strong candidate for 5G-based high-speed railway communication modules and arrays.
