APPLICATION OF RECURRENT NETWORKS FOR SPACECRAFT ATTITUDE CONTROL
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-12)
There is a need to perform a control allocation to map the torque commands from the body frame to the
actuator frames in a spacecraft attitude control problem. When the number is more than three, this mapping,
done by ...
CLUTTER-COMPENSATING ADAPTIVE WAVEFORMS WITH COGNITIVE RADAR USING ACTUAL TARGET MEASUREMENTS FOR TARGET CLASSIFICATION
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-09)
In this work, we investigate the target classification performance of a cognitive radar (CRr) using
EM-simulated ground-based target responses and EM-measured aerial target responses in the presence of
transmit ...
CURRENT AND TEMPERATURE SENSING VIA LIGHT EMISSION FROM GAN PN JUNCTIONS
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-06)
With the growing complexity of high-power converters, it has never been more important to have
