Statistical Fading Of A Plane Optical Wave In Atmospheric Turbulence, John F. O'Hara Jan 1980

Statistical Fading Of A Plane Optical Wave In Atmospheric Turbulence, John F. O'Hara

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A formula for the average fade time of the intensity of a plane optical wave traveling through atmospheric turbulence is developed. The model employed involves isotropic, homogeneous statistics using a lognormal distribution for the channel. The analysis is based on the fact that the logarithm of the irradiance is normally distributed and uses the work of S. O. Rice who developed such an expression for a zero mean, Gaussian process. The analysis employs the covariance function and the Taylor frozen turbulence hypothesis which results in an expression for the autocorrelation function.

A Ten Kilometer Transmission System Fiber Optics Versus Ku-Band, John A. Hallmark Jan 1980

A Ten Kilometer Transmission System Fiber Optics Versus Ku-Band, John A. Hallmark

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This research paper discusses the design evaluation and selection of a transmission system to be used in checking out the Spacelab high rate data system. The transmission systems evaluated are discussed, as well as the criteria utilized in selecting the final system. The installation of a fiber optics cable and the testing of this cable are discussed. The determination of the optimum location of the high rate data bit synchronizer and Viterbi decoder is presented. Utilization of this data to justify the installation of a shorter fiber optics system inside the O&C Building is presented.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation Of Aqueous Sodium Bicarbonate, Duane P. Covino Jan 1980

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation Of Aqueous Sodium Bicarbonate, Duane P. Covino

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This research report investigated the ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation of aqueous sodium bicarbonate. Subjects of the investigation included: the "blank" effect of the 316 stainless steel reactor in the batch mode; the catalytic activities at 150°C for unsupported ruthenium, including ruthenium purge and the metal produced from the in situ reduction of RuCl3·1-3H2O and Ru(IV)O2·H2O; the catalytic activities at 150°C for supported ruthenium including 4.05% w/w ruthenium on alumina, 5.25 and 20.85%w/w ruthenium on molecular sieve SK-41 (ammonium - substituted Y-type), 3.34 and 17.48% w/w ruthenium on SK-41 (prepared by the in situ reduction of the RuCl3·1-3H2O exchange sieve); orders of reaction …

Fade Time Statistics Of Laser Light Propagating Through Turbulent Atmosphere, Madjid A. Belkerdid Jan 1980

Fade Time Statistics Of Laser Light Propagating Through Turbulent Atmosphere, Madjid A. Belkerdid

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The average fade time of the fluctuations in the intensity of laser light propagation in the atmosphere is analyzed. Experimental results show that the average fade time for a propagation distance of 208 meters, in the weak turbulence regime, is well described by formulas developed from a Log-Normal distribution. A circuit that calculates real time statistics of fade time is designed, then validated using a sine wave input whose fade time statistics are predetermined. The experimental signal is then tested for stationarity, and the average fade time is measured. A curve fitting is then performed for the experimental data and …

An Associative Backend Machine For Data Base Management, Alireza Hurson Jan 1980

An Associative Backend Machine For Data Base Management, Alireza Hurson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

It has long been recognized that computer systems containing large data bases expend an inordinate amount of time managing the resources (viz. central processing time, memory, ... etc.) rather than performing useful computation in response to user I s query. This is due to the adaptation of the classical machine architecture, the so called von Neumann architecture, to a problem domain that needs radically different machine architecture for an efficient solution. The characteristics that distinguish the computation for data base management systems are: massive amount of data, simple repetitive non-numeric operations and the association of a name space with the …
