高阶BOC信号电离层色散效应的模拟算法*

导航信号模拟器需要模拟电离层引起的信号延时和色散效应,对于传统BPSK信号,模拟器基于单频假设,通过直接调整码相位和载波相位之间的相对关系来模拟电离层的影响。新一代卫星导航信号广泛采用的BOC (Binary Offset Carrier)调制信号具有更宽的带宽,作单频假设会引入不可忽略的电离层延迟建模误差。论文提出了基于双边带模型的高阶BOC信号高精度模拟方法,并仿真验证了算法的正确性。该方法可应用于导航信号模拟器实现BOC信号电离层色散效应的模拟。     

电离层色散特性对导航信号接收的影响

电离层是一种典型的色散介质,会对导航信号产生延迟,且不同频点处的电离层延迟互不相同。实际应用中通常只考虑接收信号中心频点处的电离层延迟,而忽略信号带宽范围内的电离层色散特性。建立了电离层色散特性的对导航信号接收的影响分析模型,并定量地分析了电离层色散效应对BPSK(10)、BOC(14,2)以及AltBOC(15,10)等宽带导航信号的影响。分析表明电离层色散效应对BPSK(10)信号的影响可忽略不计,对高阶BOC信号会产生一定程度的与电离层特性相关的相关损耗及载波跟踪偏差,其中AltBOC(15,10)产生的相关损耗最高约1.4dB,载波相位跟踪偏差最高约0.374π。     

北斗导航信号电离层闪烁模拟及其影响

电离层闪烁具有突发性、偶发性和区域性,且难以建模准确刻画。针对电离层闪烁影响下的北斗导航信号复现问题,研究了基于应用伽马分布和零均值高斯分布模型的导航信号电离层闪烁序列生成方法,并基于国防科技大学电子科学与工程学院研制的NSS8000型多体制导航信号模拟器给出了北斗导航信号电离层闪烁模拟的硬件架构。在此基础上,通过中频信号采样和软件接收机处理,分析了电离层闪烁对北斗接收机跟踪环路的影响。结果表明:在相位闪烁指数为0,幅度闪烁指数为0.9时,码环鉴相误差可达0.05 chip;而在幅度闪烁指数为0,相位闪烁指数为0.5时,载波环鉴相误差可达15°,处于失锁的临界状态。     

二进制偏移载波调制信号畸变误差评估指标研究

随着全球卫星导航系统的发展，二进制偏移载波（BOC）调制信号被广泛采用。全面评估BOC信号的畸变误差对于导航系统的信号完好性评估与监测具有重要意义。前文对于BOC信号的畸变研究较少，没有解析评估BOC信号畸变误差的指标与方法。本文针对三种常见的信号畸变，给出了完善的畸变误差评估指标，能够全面评估畸变误差。同时采用提出的评估指标对北斗全球系统B1频段上的基线信号BOC(14,2)及MBOC(6,1,1/11)信号进行评估。文中提出的畸变误差评估指标能够用于评估现代卫星导航信号的畸变误差，对现代导航信号体制设计及完好性监测均具有指导意义。     

VFD滤波器的导航信道模拟器动态时延模拟方法

针对卫星导航信道模拟器信号仿真中,传统伪距多普勒模拟方法瞬时控制精度差、滤波器资源占用较大的不足,提出了基于拉格朗日插值延迟滤波器及Farrow结构实现的伪距多普勒模拟方法。在分析信道模拟器系统架构的基础上,建立了多普勒模拟方法的模型,包括延时计算模块和可变延迟滤波器两部分。与多速率采样数字延迟滤波器方法比较,该方法滤波器系数个数约为后者的0.2%,并且改变时延特性时,仅需更新1个参数。信道模拟器实测数据结果表明使用该方法伪码多普勒模拟精度可以达到0.1mHz。

顾及地磁影响的GNSS电离层层析不等像素间距算法

突破传统全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS)层析反演研究忽略地球磁场对电离层变化活动的影响,同时顾及不同电离层高度电子密度变化较大的影响,提出在地磁坐标系下建立电离层高度方向上不等像素间距的GNSS层析反演方法。在此基础上,通过建立新的电离层层析迭代松弛因子,提高GNSS电离层电子密度层析反演结果精度。利用IRI—2007电离层模型、GNSS实测数据与电离层测高仪数据,从模拟验证和实测数据对比两方面,反演统计了不同层析算法估算的峰值电离层电子密度误差、电子密度剖面结果平均绝对百分比误差及均方根误差,验证了顾及地磁影响的GNSS电离层层析不等像素间距算法的有效性。     

利用实时小波降噪的抗电离层闪烁载波跟踪

电离层闪烁影响下的导航信号载波跟踪呈现非平稳、非线性和非高斯特性,这使得传统基于鉴别器和Kalman滤波的载波跟踪改进算法并不能有效减弱电离层闪烁的影响。提出了基于实时小波降噪的抗电离层闪烁载波跟踪算法,其能够更好地刻画闪烁信号的非平稳特性。通过对跟踪环路同相与正交支路的积分结果进行小波降噪,有效滤除了电离层闪烁引入的非高斯噪声,减弱了闪烁对环路鉴别器的不良影响,提高了跟踪环路的精度与稳健性。实验验证了相关分析和小波降噪跟踪算法的有效性。

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

The UK,interrogation and Iraq, 2003–2008

The UK’s interrogation operations during the conflict in Iraq (2003–2008) are often portrayed by the media as involving significant amounts of mistreatment. This article demonstrates that these practices are not necessarily representative of the UK’s interrogation operations across this conflict. In doing so it contributes to the limited literature on the practice of interrogation and on the UK’s combat operations in Iraq. The UK’s interrogation capability, and therefore its intelligence-gathering capability, is shown to have rested primarily with the military’s Joint Forward Interrogation Team (JFIT). The JFIT suffered from limitations to the number, training and experience of its interrogators and interpreters. It is argued that maintaining a permanent, higher level of preparedness for interrogation by the British armed forces is desirable.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Al Qaida on the US invasion of Afghanistan in their own words

This article consists of selected translations from captured interviews and dairies of Al Qaida members. The time period covered is from mid-2001 to early 2002 and concerns their operations in Afghanistan. The material clearly conveys a range of emotion, from confident to despondent, as well as efforts to contest the US actions. The first several pages give the reader context and some possible “lessons learned,” but the story(ies) are best told by the Al Qaida members themselves. All names are pseudonyms.
