The Republic

The existing ground-based radio monitoring systems do not allow performing the functions and tasks of radio spectrum monitoring in a quality manner. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of the radio spectrum monitoring systems for countries with a large territory, such as the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is proposed to use low-orbit small spacecrafts as radio monitoring stations. The analysis of the energy budget of radio lines on the basis of existing radio electronic means on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, carried out in this work, showed the possibility of using low-orbit small spacecrafts for performing the functions and tasks of radio monitoring. The paper proposes and develops a method for determining the coordinates of radio emission sources based on the goniometric method using scanning antennas on board of one spacecraft. The ranges of the antenna scanning angles are substantiated, and the estimates of the coordinates determination errors are made. Algorithms have been developed and computer programs have been compiled to determine the coordinates of the radio emission sources, which will make it possible to use this method at the initial stages of developing a radio spectrum monitoring system based on one small spacecraft.

Modern radars, along with the detection and measurement of target coordinates against the background of interference, must solve the problem of detecting radio emission sources and measuring their coordinates. Detection of interference, as well as targets, in the radar is provided in the main (total) channel based on the analysis of the rangefinder-Doppler portrait of the received signal. The main disadvantage of such a detector is that the interference coming along the side lobes of the sum antenna and falling into the dip of the antenna radiation pattern may not be detected. Therefore, the problem arises of developing and analyzing algorithms for detecting interference in a radar with several receiving channels. The article discusses the logical, energy, correlation and eigenvalues of the cross-correlation matrix of the received signals interference detectors for two receiving channels. Their characteristics are given. It is shown that two-channel interference detectors based on the analysis of the eigenvalues of the cross-correlation matrix have the highest efficiency. Energy and logical algorithms are quite a bit inferior to them. The developed algorithms make it possible to effectively detect radio emission sources even when they are in the dip of one of the antenna patterns.

This article studies and analyzes the results of applying numerical iterative methods for solving nonlinear equation systems (Newton, modified Newton's method, gradient descent, sequential iterations, Levenberg – Marquardt), compiled and used to calculate the rectangular spatial coordinates of radio emission sources in range-difference passive radars of various configurations (incorporating from 3 to 4 receiving points). The aim of the research was to determine the optimal number of receiving points and to select the most effective algorithm for coordinate transformations of the vector of observed parameters (a set of range difference estimates from radio emission sources to the corresponding pairs of receiving points) into the vector of measured parameters (rectangular spatial coordinates). The following parameters were used as comparison criteria: passive radar working area (a part of space where the deviation of target coordinate estimates from their true values does not exceed the maximum tolerable values); average error in calculating spatial coordinates in the working area; iterations number of coordinate calculation in the analyzed part of space. Upon completing a comparative analysis of obtained characteristics and dependencies, we concluded that it is optimal to include four receiving points in a range-difference passive radar and use the Levenberg – Marquardt method to calculate the spatial coordinates of radio emission sources.

Abstract. Aerial emission sampling of four natural gas boiler stack plumes was conducted using an unmanned aerial system (UAS) equipped with a light-weight sensor/sampling system (the “Kolibri”) for measurement of nitrogen oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). Flights (n = 22) ranged from 11 to 24 minutes duration at two different sites. The UAS was maneuvered into the plumes with the aid of real-time CO2 telemetry to the ground operators and, at one location, a second UAS equipped with an infrared/visible camera. Concentrations were collected and recorded at 1 Hz. The maximum CO2, CO, NO, and NO2 concentrations in the plume measured were 10,000 ppm, 7 ppm, 27 ppm, and 1.5 ppm, respectively. Comparison of the NOx emissions between the stack continuous emission monitoring systems and the UAS/Kolibri for three boiler sets showed an average of 5.6 % and 3.5 % relative percent difference for the run-weighted and carbon-weighted average emissions, respectively.
