TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the diols 1,4-butanediol, BDO, and 1, 4-cyclohexane dimethanol, CHDM, on the mechanical properties of HTPB, cured with the diisocyanates, IPDI, HDI and H12MDI, was investigated.

TL;DR: A geometrical interpretation of a Taylor series expansion of the DOA estimator criterion function is used to derive an alternative design of the mapping matrix that takes into account the orthogonality between the manifold mapping errors and certain gradients of the estimator criteria function.
Abstract: Interpolation (mapping) of data from a given antenna array onto the output of a virtual array of more suitable configuration is well known in array signal processing. This operation allows arrays of any geometry to be used with fast direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimators designed for linear arrays. Conditions for preserving DOA error variance under such mappings have been derived by several authors. However, in many cases, such as omnidirectional signal surveillance over multiple octaves, systematic mapping errors will dominate over noise effects and cause significant bias in the DOA estimates. To prevent mapping errors from unduly affecting the DOA estimates, this paper uses a geometrical interpretation of a Taylor series expansion of the DOA estimator criterion function to derive an alternative design of the mapping matrix. Verifying simulations show significant bias reduction in the DOA estimates compared with previous designs. The key feature of the proposed design is that it takes into account the orthogonality between the manifold mapping errors and certain gradients of the estimator criterion function. With the new design, mapping of narrowband signals between dissimilar array geometries over wide sectors and large frequency ranges becomes feasible.

05 May 2006TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a challenge problem whose scope is detection of stationary vehicles in foliage using VHF-band SAR data, which consists of images collected by the Swedish CARABAS-II system which produces SAR images at the low VHFband (20-90 MHz).
Abstract: This paper describes a challenge problem whose scope is detection of stationary vehicles in foliage using VHF-band SAR data. The data for this challenge problem consists of images collected by the Swedish CARABAS-II system which produces SAR images at the low VHF-band (20-90 MHz). At these frequencies the electromagnetic energy from the radar penetrates the foliage of the forest, providing a return from a target concealed in a forest. Thus, VHF-band SAR technology transforms the foliage penetration problem into a traditional detection problem where the goal is to reduce the false alarm rate (FAR). Reducing the FAR requires suppressing the clutter in a VHF-band SAR image which is dominated by larger tree trunks, buildings and other man-made objects. The purpose of releasing the CARABAS-II data set is to provide the community with VHF-band SAR data that supports development of new algorithms for robust target detection with a low false alarm rate. The set of images supports single-pass, two-pass and multi-pass target detection.
