Implementation of a design for testability strategy using the Genesil silicon compiler
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
Design for Testability (DFT) is receiving major emphasis in the very large scale integration design field due to increasing circuit complexity. The utility of the silicon compiler and its value to a system designer without ...
An engineering methodology for implementing and testing VLSI circuits
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
The engineering methodology for producing a fully tested VLSI chip from a design layout is presented. A 16-bit correlator, NPS CORN88, that was previously designed, was used as a vehicle to demonstrate this methodology. ...
The effect of autopilot configuration on missile response.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USA DACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEV), has been tasked by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Rock Island, IL, to test ...
Spin stabilization of the ORION satellite using a thruster attitude control system with optimal control considerations
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1989)
The controlled system is the ORION satellite spinning about its single axis of symmetry. Hydrazine thrusters are used as the control and are modeled by ideal, constant magnitude step functions. The system is normalized and ...
Radar cross section of a planar fractal tree
(1989)
Electromagnetic scattering from trees and vegetation is of prime importance in radar and remote sensing. The actual problem of scattering from trees is rather complicated and involves three dimensional scattering from ...
Inexpensive global location and tracking systems using geostationary satellites.
(1989)
Inexpensive Global Location and Tracking Systems are currently being designed to
provide the civilian market low-cost radio position determination. This paper discusses
two possible designs. The first design employs 3 ...
System identification by ARMA modeling
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1988-09)
System identification concerns the mathematical modeling of a system based upon its input and output. It allows the development of a mathematical description when all that is available is the result of a process or the ...
Long haul underwater fiber optic link
(1988)
This thesis presents the design test and evaluation of a fiber optic remote monitoring system. Practical aspects of loss measurement, link analysis, receiver design, and controller implementation are examined. The fundamental ...
Design of a three-axis stabilized ORION satellite using an all-thruster attitude control system
(1988)
An all-thruster three-axis stabilized attitude control system has been designed for the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) satellite bus, ORION. The satellite is a cylinder, 19 inches in diameter, 35 inches in length, 250 ...
Estimating forces acting on an underwater vehicle with G.P.S. and Kalman filtering
(1988)
A discrete state space model is developed which describes an autonomous underwater vehicle and incorporates the effects of currents, sea state, and wind as it travels through the sea. Heading commands are calculated to ...
