Rotating Target

We performed a theoretical and experimental study of a 10.6 μm heterodyne detection system with nonlinear postdetection. A single laser serves as both transmitter and local oscillator; the intermediate frequency is given by the Doppler effect due to a rotating target. An electrooptic crystal modulates the amplitude of the laser beam at a frequency of 15 kHz; a synchronous voltmeter measures the return signal after the nonlinear element. Values of the signal-to-noise ratio with respect to incident optical power agree with the results of the theoretical model. In particular, experimentally measured target-induced frequency spreading effects on the signal-to-noise ratio correspond to the predictions of the model. We also describe an experimental system.

A linear adaptive algorithm was developed for array beamforming purposes. The design goal for the algorithm is to minimize the squared filter output subject to filter constraints which allow energy propagating from the array steering direction to pass without being distorted. The adaptive filter coefficients were initialized to satisfy the constraints which were preserved during the iterations. The adaptation rate is inversely varied with filter output and total input channel power. Performance of the algorithm was studied using the recorded short‐period array data from the Korean Seismic Research Station. Processed were a high‐amplitude signal from Kamchatka, a medium‐amplitude signal from eastern Kazakh, and a number of low‐amplitude signals from central Eurasia. Results of signal‐to‐noise ratio gain relative to a conventional beamformer among the events tested were consistent and were in the range of 4.5 to 6.5 dB in the wide passband. Much better signal‐to‐noise ratio improvement was obtained in the low‐frequency passband. The adaptive algorithm was programmed in the real‐time mode and can be implemented in a front‐end detection system.

Performance of the Duffing oscillator to detect weak signals buried in heavy noise is analyzed quantitatively by LCEs. First in the case of noise, differential equations to compute LCE s are derived using RHR algorithm, so the quantitative criteria to identify system states are obtained. Then using LCEs, the threshold value of the forced periodic term is found accurately. Finally the system state and state change are analyzed using LCEs by keeping the threshold value and varying the noise intensity, and the minimum signal to noise ratio is determined. By contrast of phase trajectories and LCEs, it shows that phase trajectories disturbed by strong noise sometimes are ambiguous to our eyes, but through LCEs, the system state can be identified clearly and quantitatively especially in strong noise background. So the minimum signal to noise ratio can be obtained accurately.

This paper is a follow-up to two previous papers, one introducing the new bitstream Photon Counting Chirped Amplitude Modulation (AM) Lidar (PC-CAML) with the unipolar Digital Logic Local Oscillator (DLLO) concept, and the other paper introducing the improvement thereof using the bipolar DLLO. In that previous work, there was only a single channel of digital mixing of the DLLO with the received photon counting signal. This paper introduces a new bitstream PC-CAML receiver architecture with an in-phase (I) digital mixing channel and a quadrature phase (Q) digital mixing channel for digital I/Q demodulation with the bipolar DLLO to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 3 dB compared to that for the single digital mixing channel with the bipolar DLLO and by 5.5 dB compared to that for the single digital mixing channel with the unipolar DLLO. (patent pending) The bipolar DLLO with digital I/Q demodulation architecture discussed in this paper retains the key advantages of the previous bitstream PC-CAML with a DLLO systems since it also replaces bulky, power-hungry, and expensive wideband RF analog electronics with digital components that can be implemented in inexpensive silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) read-out integrated circuits (ROICs) to make the bitstream PC-CAML with a DLLO more suitable for compact lidar-on-a-chip systems and lidar array receivers than previous PC-CAML systems. This paper introduces the bipolar DLLO with digital I/Q demodulation receiver architecture for bitstream PC-CAML and presents the initial signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) theory with comparisons to Monte Carlo simulation results.

Abstract Advances in infrared detection techniques require novel spectrum dynamic-modification strategies capable of sensing unprecedentedly low target radiant intensities. A conventional fixed-spectrum detection system cannot satisfy the effective detection of stealth aircraft targets due to complex Earth background clutter and atmospheric attenuation. Therefore, a detection method that can highlight aircraft targets is urgently needed to enhance stealth aircraft detectability. In this research, a spectrum set consisting of different bandwidths associated with a central wavelength is established. Furthermore, a signal-to-noise ratio of the stealth aircraft is computed using the established spectrum set. Finally, the optimal spectrum is selected according to the maximal signal-to-noise ratio from the spectrum set. Our numerical experiments and simulations further demonstrate that the proposed methodology can substantially strengthen the detection performance of stealth aircraft compared with traditional fixed-spectrum detection systems. This work on detection spectrum optimization paves the way to stealth aircraft detection and opens new vistas in the field of target detection technology.

A method for detecting leaks in plastic water supply pipes through analysis of the pipe’s surface vibration using a high signal-to-noise ratio accelerometer is proposed and examined. The method involves identification of the changes in vibration frequencies caused on the pipe by the leak and is developed from and examined with respect to detailed experiments. The results are promising, showing that leak detection in plastic pipes is possible provided that the sensor is placed at a small distance from the leak, since wave attenuation in plastic is strong. The results indicate that the methodology has the potential to be a new and competitive type of mobile leak detection system.
