Whole Spacecraft Vibration Isolation, Gregory G. Karahalis
Whole Spacecraft Vibration Isolation, Gregory G. Karahalis
Theses and Dissertations
The Department of Defense identified launch vibration isolation as a major research interest. Reducing the loads a satellite experiences during launch will greatly enhance the reliability, lifetime, and payload to structure ratio. DoD satellite programs stand to benefit significantly from advances in vibration isolation technology.
Analysis Of Radio Frequency Interference Effects On A Modern Coarse Acquisition Code Global Positioning System (Gps) Receiver, Kenneth D. Johnston
Analysis Of Radio Frequency Interference Effects On A Modern Coarse Acquisition Code Global Positioning System (Gps) Receiver, Kenneth D. Johnston
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the performance of a twelve channel Standard Positioning Service (SPS) based (Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver using an eight state Kalman filter in a hostile radio frequency (RF) environment and to develop instructional tools for teaching RF interference on GPS receivers. The two types of jamming signals generated included Continuous Wave (CW) and Swept CW. Actual GPS and jamming signals were used in the research. The signals received from GPS satellites exhibit a Doppler shift which vary between approximately plus six Kilohertz. The Doppler shift frequency can be reasonably predicted for a …
