Fuel-optimal trajectory design using solar electric propulsion under power constraints and performance degradation

The fuel-optimal transfer trajectories using solar electric propulsion are designed considering the power constraints and solar array performance degradation.Three different performance degradation models including linear,positive and negative exponential degradations are used in the analysis of three typical rendezvous missions including Apophis,Venus and Ceres,respectively.The optimal control problem is formulated using the calculus of variations and Pontryagin’s maximum principle,which leads to a bang-bang control that is solved by indirect method combined with a homotopic technique.In demonstrating the effects of the power constraints and solar array performance degradation on the power budget and fuel consumption,the time histories of the power profile and the fuel consumptions are compared for the three missions.This study indicates that it is necessary to consider the power constraints and solar array performance degradation for the SEP-based low-thrust trajectory design,espacially for long-duration outbound flights.

URLLC-oriented secure communication for UAV relay-assisted network

In this paper, we investigate the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay-assisted secure short packet communication. The UAV acts as a decode-and-forward relay to transmit control signals from the source to the actuators in the presence of a ground eavesdropper (EV) whose imperfect channel state information is available at the UAV. Specially, non-orthogonal multiple access is adopted in our work to achieve more connections and improve the fairness of communication and the short packets are employed for data transmission to reduce the latency. Explicitly, we maximize the minimum average secrecy throughput among all actuators by jointly optimizing the UAV trajectory, transmit power and blocklength allocation, which generates a challenging optimization problem. Therefore, we propose an iterative algorithm based on block coordinate descent method and successive convex approximation technique to handle the non-convex problem. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has better performance compared to the benchmark schemes.

Generation of optical carrier suppression millimeter-wave signal using one dual-parallel MZM to overcome chromatic dispersion

In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach to generate optical carrier suppression (OCS) mm-wave with signal only carried by one first-order sideband using a dual-parallel MZM in radio-over-fiber (RoF) system, and the transmission performance was also investigated. As the optical mm-wave signal is transmitted along the fiber, there is no time shift of the data symbols resulting from the group velocity dispersion in the fiber because the signal is only modulated on one sideband. The simulation results showed that the eye diagram keeps open and clear even when the optical mm-wave signals are transmitted over 96-km and the power penalty is about 1-dB after fiber transmission distance of 60-km, which is quite consistent with our theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the proposed OCS optical mm-wave generation approach is also used in a full-duplex RoF link based on wavelength reuse at the base station for the uplink due to another pure sideband without carrying data. The bidirectional 2.5-Gbit/s data is successfully transmitted over 40-km standard single mode fiber with less than 0.5-dB power penalty in the simulation. Both the unidirectional RoF downlink and the full-duplex RoF system have good performance.     

Joint power allocation and user assignment for licensed/unlicensed band users in massive MIMO cellular systems

In this paper, we study the joint user assignment and power allocation for the defined utility function (central cell throughput) maximization in massive Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) cellular system coexistence with Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) network. Firstly, the power allocation of problem is formulated as a convex optimization. Unfortunately, the formulated problem has not a closed-form solution. For solving the mentioned problem, it is converted to three sub-problem based on the number of lemmas that are expressed. Due to two of these problems remain difficult to solve, this two sub-problem are relaxed. The Ellipsoid algorithm is an iterative algorithm that used for solving of the relaxed problems. In the following, joint user assignment and power allocation will be addressed, in which two approaches are proposed for solving. In the first approach, we propose an iterative algorithm that user assignment problem and power allocation problem are solved in each iteration. In the second approach, at first, users are assigned to licensed and unlicensed bands, then for the obtained arrangement, the power allocation problem is solved. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithms are significantly close to the benchmark methods.     

High frequency characterisation of double drift region InP and GaAs diodes

Computer studies have been made on the high frequency characteristics of symmetrically doped flat profile double drift region (DDR) InP and GaAs impatts in the mm-wave (60–100 GHz) frequency band. The spatial distribution of high frequency negative resistance and reactance in the depletion layer of DDR devices and their admittance properties have been investigated. The results indicate that DDR InP impatts should have higher drift zone voltage drop, higher negative resistance and higher negative conductance compared to their GaAs counterparts designed for the same range of mm-wave frequencies. Furthermore, the negative resistance peak is larger in magnitude for InP impatts compared to that for GaAs impatts. It is thus observed that DDR InP impatts should be superior to their GaAs counterparts as regards mm-wave power generation with high conversion efficiency.

Millimeter wave components for electronically controllable antennas

Many present and future military and commercial systems operating at millimeter wave frequencies require the use of sophisticated electronically controllable antennas for maximum capability and flexibility. Electronic control of the antenna pattern is provided by electronically switchable phase control of each radiating element such as that achieved in phased array antennas or via electronically reconfigurable antenna feeds referred to as beam forming networks (BFN). Multibeam antennas provided by BFN'S can be realized using switches, variable power dividers (VPD), and phase shifters. Ferrite materials and associated application technology are being utilized to achieve these switchable RF control components at millimeter wave frequencies. The performance achievable in ferrite switchable circulators, variable power dividers and phase shifters in the frequency region from 20 to 100 GHz is discussed.     

Generation of 60-GHz Millimetre Wave with 20-GHz DSB Optical

A new scheme to generate a 60-GHz millimetre （mm） wave by tripling the frequency of the 20-GHz DSB optical mm wave is proposed. According to our analysis and numerical simulation of transmission along a fibre, this scheme can not only eliminate code form distortion, but also reduces the influence of fading effect as it transmits along the fibre. Therefore, the radio-over-fibre link based on the generated optical ram-wave signal has better performance.

Snowpack permittivity profile retrieval from tomographic SAR data

This work deals with 3D structure characterization and permittivity profile retrieval of snowpacks by tomographic SAR data processing. The acquisition system is a very high resolution ground based SAR system, developed and operated by the SAPHIR team, of IETR, University of Rennes-1 (France). It consists mainly of a vector network analyser and a multi-static antenna system, moving along two orthogonal directions, so as to obtain a two-dimensional synthetic array. Data were acquired during the AlpSAR campaign carried by the European Space Agency and led by ENVEO. In this study, tomographic imaging is performed using Time Domain Back Projection and consists in coherently combining the different recorded backscatter contributions. The assumption of free-space propagation during the focusing process is discussed and illustrated by focusing experimental data. An iterative method for estimating true refractive indices of the snow layers is presented. The antenna pattern is also compensated for. The obtained tomograms after refractive index correction are compared to the stratigraphy of the observed snowpack.
