An estimate of amplitude of a sinusoidal signal is computed from a value of the signal by computing the value of a quadrature-phase signal and computing the amplitude based on the value of the signal and the value of the quadrature-phase signal. The quadrature-phase signal is computed, for example, by a Hilbert transform. The amplitude is approximated as the sum of the magnitude of one value and an even polynomial of the other value when the magnitude of the other value is relatively small. The amplitude is computed precisely by an iterative application of the approximation. In an automatic gain control, for example, the desired value is substituted for the actual amplitude in the iterative formula, to compute an error estimate that always has the same sign as the actual error. Therefore, the automatic gain control converges to set the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal to the desired value.

A first-order filter apparatus 48 (FIG. 4) includes an integrate-and-dump (I&D) circuit 50 and an output loop 52. The I&D circuit 50 is driven by a cyclic scaling element 54, which multiplies N consecutive input signals 56, x(m+1) to x(m+N), by a cycle of N scaling factors 58, c(1) to c(N). The I&D summer 60 drives a double-throw switch 62. The double-throw switch 62 applies the output of the I&D summer 60 to an I&D delay element 64 for N-1 input clock cycles, and for an Nth input clock cycle to the input of a non-cyclic scaling element 66. The non-cyclic scaling element 66 scales its input by a non-cyclic scaling factor, and applies its output to one input of a feedback summer 68. The output of the feedback summer 68 is y(k), the output of the apparatus. The index k advances by one every time that the index m advances by N. The output of the feedback summer 68 is also applied to an output feedback multiplying element 70, which multiplies it by B.sup.N. The output feedback multiplying element 70 applies its output to a feedback delay element 72, an output of which is applied to the other input of the feedback summer 68. Additional first-order (FIG. 4), and comparable second-order (FIG. 8), filter apparatus are weighted and summed to form a filter (FIG. 10).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for moving a first carrier tape in a first direction along a path, and a second tape toward the first tape, both in an incremental manner. After each increment of movement of the first tape, the second tape is advanced a proportional increment into overlying contact with the first tape. A press squeezes the first and second tape layers together, and a cutting mechanism is actuated to sever the overlying segment of second tape. The incremental movements of the first and second tapes are regulated so that the length of each second tape segment laid on the first tape is equal to the distance of travel of the first tape in the first direction. The direction of movement of the first tape is reversed so that at least one layer of second tape can be applied to the first tape.

Planar antennas 10a, 10b require impedance matching with their associated transceivers 20a, 20b. Conventionally, an inductance coil is placed between the transceiver 20a, 20b and the antenna 10. Such coils add loss, require space within the transciever, and increase costs. This invention replaces the inductance coil with a planar transmission line 18a, 18b within the planar antenna 10a, 10b, such as a co-planar line, slotline, or microstrip line. If desired, active circuits 30 may be applied across the transmission line 18a, 18b, with an RF choke 42 being used to allow a dc bias to drive the active circuits 30 while preventing interference with RF operation.

A friction boring process creates a corrosion resistant fine grain microstructure in the wall surfaces of holes bored in aluminum alloy materials. A rotating tool is inserted directly into the aluminum material, or into a pre-drilled pilot hole, at a sufficient rotational velocity and feed rate to cause working that extends beyond the diameter of the tool, frictional heating, and extraction of aluminum material by metal deformation rather than cutting action as with a conventional drill bit. Burring, smoothing, and otherwise removing aluminum material extracted from the hole may be performed by a finishing segment that limits insertion depth of the tool. Frictional heating generates a temperature sufficient for rapid recrystallization of the remaining worked metal to form a fine grain microstructure to a depth of about 2.5 mm in the hole surfaces. Corrosion protection is retained even if some fine grain material is removed during a subsequent reaming operation. Friction boring is fast, suitable for a wide variety of aluminum alloy compositions, and easily adaptable to initial fabrication of aluminum components or to field repair of assembled structures such as on aging aircraft. The process creates a fine grain corrosion and fatigue resistant surface microstructure in aluminum alloy holes without the use of peening, heat treatments, or environmentally objectionable chemicals and coatings.

The inventive laser radar uses a multiple frequency processing technique for the purpose of extracting relative range information from a received signal by transmitting and receiving two frequencies that are derived from a reference signal source modulated by two modulators that are driven by a different frequency, the reference frequency source also serving as a local oscillator.
