Abstract:
[Object] To appropriately evaluate reliability of a reception signal. [Solving Means] A signal processing unit 20 includes a first integration unit 21, a Doppler detection unit 22, and a comparator circuit 28 as a reliability index calculation unit. The first integration unit 21 intermittently integrates a pulse train corresponding to a reception signal by using two systems and obtains two pieces of integrated data. The Doppler detection unit 22 divides each of the two pieces of integrated data into a plurality of range bins in time series, obtains a relationship between a frequency and intensity in each range bin for each of the two pieces of integrated data, and detects a Doppler shift amount from the relationship. The comparator circuit 28 calculates a reliability index of the reception signal by comparing the Doppler shift amounts (wind velocity values) of the two pieces of integrated data.
Abstract:
[Object] To provide a technique for reducing the fluctuation of an airplane when an airplane enters turbulence without using prior information of two-dimensional or more airflow vectors. [Solving Means] A system includes: a measurement unit 10 that emits electromagnetic waves toward a planned flight direction of the airplane, receives scattered waves of the emitted electromagnetic waves in atmosphere, and measures a remote wind speed in a radiation axis direction of the emitted electromagnetic waves based on a Doppler shift amount of a frequency between the emitted electromagnetic waves and the scattered electromagnetic waves; a spoiler 221 that controls a lift of the airplane; and a control calculation unit 30 that calculates an angle of attack with less lift inclination and calculates an angle of the spoiler 221 that controls the lift so that the lift does not change when it is determined that the airplane will receive a gust, based on a measurement result of the measurement unit 10.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an optical remote airflow measurement apparatus with which even colored noise corresponding to an external environment of the apparatus can be reduced, thereby reducing measurement reliability deterioration and enabling long-distance measurement in a wide flying speed range. A colored noise reduction method according to the present invention includes: considering a signal strength of scattered light to be substantially non-existent in a remotest region and beyond; calculating a noise distribution by performing processing to average the signal strength in respective Doppler frequency components divided at intervals of a certain frequency in the remotest measurement region and beyond, and performing subtraction processing in each of the Doppler frequency components on all signal strength distributions of the measurement region, which are obtained by dividing the noise distribution at intervals of a certain distance.
Abstract:
A laser light reflection device for an aircraft-installed laser apparatus with which, when a function check is performed on the aircraft-installed laser apparatus by emitting laser light from a parked aircraft to a body exterior, the emitted laser light can be reflected in a desired direction safely and efficiently. A reflection mirror is capable of autorotation about at least an in-plane horizontal axis thereof, and a support ring is attached to the reflection mirror to be capable of rotating about an in-plane vertical axis and the in-plane horizontal axis of the reflection mirror. A laser pointer unit formed by inserting a laser pointer into a sleeve pipe is attached to the support ring so as to be oriented toward an in-plane of the reflection mirror. A guide scope is attached to the support ring such that an optical axis thereof matches an optical axis of the laser pointer unit.
