积分二次相位函数和傅里叶变换的多相码参数估计

针对传统时频方法对多相码信号参数估计计算量比较大的问题,提出一种新的多相码参数估计方法。首先利用积分二次相位函数(IQPF)估计信号的调频率,然后重新构造一个线性调频信号(LFM),通过解线调将多相码信号的调频率消除,最后计算解线调后信号的傅里叶变换(FFT)估计信号脊线间隔和载频,进而估计信号的码元宽度和重复周期。该方法不需要进行直角坐标和极坐标的变换且仅需一维搜索,可以大幅度减小计算量。仿真表明,可以用较小的计算量取得与RAT(Radon-Wigner Transformation)和RWT(Radon-Ambiguity Transformation)相当的估计精度。     

低信噪比下多相码信号参数估计

针对低信噪比下多相码信号参数估计方法性能不佳的问题,提出了一种低信噪比下基于积分二次相位函数(IQPF)和分数阶傅里叶变换(Fr FT)的联合参数估计方法。首先在理论上推导出IQPF将多相码信号的所有脊线累积为一个峰值,并利用IQPF估计出的调频率将Fr FT的二维搜索变为一维搜索,从而估计出其他参数。仿真实验表明,所提方法在计算量以及估计精度上优于传统方法。     

分数阶Fourier变换的多相码雷达信号分离算法

利用多相码雷达信号在某个分数阶域内呈现多个间隔相等的冲击这一特性,提出了一种基于分数阶Fourier变换的多相码雷达信号分离算法,首先将混合信号以特定的旋转角作分数阶Fourier变换,然后通过窄带通滤波器抽取多相码雷达信号,去除大量噪声和其他干扰信号,最后再经过分数阶Fourier反变换,恢复出时域的多相码雷达信号。理论分析和仿真实验表明,该算法计算量小,分离效果好,可实现较低信噪比下的多相码雷达信号分离。

基于FRFT的LFM信号检测与参数估计

目标运动使雷达回波表现为初始频率和调频率参数均为未知的线性调频(LFM)信号,精确且快速地检测和估计出未知参数的LFM信号是雷达信号处理的主要工作。文章利用LFM信号在特定阶数的FRFT域呈现出能量聚集特性,介绍了基于FRFT的二维峰值搜索、模最大值两步搜索和预判法三种LFM信号检测与参数估计算法。通过在高斯白噪声背景下对三种算法的仿真进行分析、比较,结果表明:在低信噪比条件下,基于FRFT模最大值两步搜索算法估计精度高,计算量较小,为工程应用提供可能。

基于四阶累积量的相干信号二维波达方向估计算法

提出了一种基于四阶累积量的相干信号二维波达方向(DOA)估计的算法--CSS算法.该算法利用双平行线阵的接收数据以及平滑技术构造了一个平滑的渡达方向矩阵,通过对其进行特征分解估计出空间相干信号的二维到达角.在色噪声环境下,该算法能够精确地估计空间相干信号的二维到达角,无需谱峰搜索,并且信号的二维参数能够自动配对.计算机仿真结果验证了算法的有效性.     

扩频系统中一种FFT算法的快速捕获方法

针对高动态、大频偏的扩频系统采用了一种基于快速傅氏变换(FFT)算法的伪码快速捕获方法,该捕获方法是在搜索伪码相位的同时,通过频率扫描的方式搜索载波频率偏移值,将原来的伪码相位、载波频偏的二维搜索过程变成只搜索伪码相位的一维搜索过程,从而大大减少了高动态、大频偏扩频系统中的同步伪码的搜索的复杂度。理论分析和仿真结果都证实在不增加硬件复杂度的情况下,基于FFT算法的伪码快速捕获方法能够大幅度地缩短捕获时间,降低系统复杂度。     

基于MSA的高阶调制信号比特度量算法的研究

Panjwai: a tale of two COINs in Afghanistan

The US Army has two approaches to counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan. One is hard, or combat-focused, and the other is soft, or development-focused. This study examines two US Army task forces deployed to Panjwai District, Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. CTF 4-9 and 1-38 offer a meaningful comparison because they pursued these contrasting approaches among the same population and against the same enemy at the same time and place. The study compares each unit’s approach and finds that neither approach was successful absent the other. The article concludes by recommending further research into combining the approaches at the operational level.

Forecasting a Hurricane: Israeli and American Estimations of the Khomeini Revolution

The surprising ‘Arab Spring’ raises the question as to what would enable national intelligence to provide high quality warnings prior to the eruption of popular revolutions. This article uses new sources of evidence to trace and explain Israel's success in comparison to US failure at correctly estimating the course of the Iranian Revolution in 1977–79. In explaining this variance, the article shows that it was mainly the result of the intimate acquaintance of Israel's representatives in Iran with the local language, history and culture, as well as the ability to communicate with locals – tools which the Americans completely lacked.     

关于教师继续教育培训模式的思考

继续教育作为终身教育的重要组成部分和基本形式,对教师的发展成长意义重大。继续教育工作开展十多年来,取得了一定的成绩,但还存在不少问题,如学习动机较为被动,管理认识不到位,教学内容陈旧空泛,教学方法呆板机械等。随着课程改革的不断深入,继续教育必须采取相应的改进措施,树立以人为本,服务至上的观点,教学内容的前瞻性与实用性并重,教学人员进行整合,教学方法灵活多样,评价考核规范科学等,以此激活受训教师内在的学习动机,更大程度地提高继续教育培训的实际效果。

Interpreting the Ribchester Helmet

In 1796 a 13-year-old boy playing on wasteland behind his father’s house in Ribchester, Lancashire discovered an assemblage of over 30 Roman artefacts, including a decorated brass helmet. Although partially corroded the Ribchester helmet is a fine example of a first-century AD cavalry sports helmet. This article considers how the interpretation of the helmet has evolved since its discovery. The multi-faceted iconography of the helmet with its mural crown diadem is that of an elite soldier and is paralleled in other examples of cavalry sports helmets of the Ribchester type. The long-neglected imagery on the helmet bowl is reinterpreted and seen not as a haphazard collection of randomly placed combatants but as a highly structured, symmetrical composition specifically designed to be viewed from different directions.     

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

Desert insurgency: lessons from the third Tuareg rebellion

This article provides an in-depth examination and analysis of the 2006–2009 Tuareg rebellion in Mali and Niger. It identifies the underlying reasons behind the rebellion, explores contrasting counter-insurgency (COIN) strategies employed by the two governments, and presents some lessons learned. While both COIN approaches ultimately produced similar peace settlements, the article argues that the Malian strategy of reconciliation combined with the selective use of force was far more effective than the Nigerien iron fist approach at limiting the size and scope of the insurgency and producing a more sustainable peace. It concludes by looking at the role of external actors, particularly the United States, and how the failure to internationalize the conflict was actually more beneficial to the local COIN effort, as well as to the longer strategic interests of the United States in the region.
