Identification of Vibration Parameters in a Spacecraft using Kalman Filters, Numerical Search and Phase-Locked Loops [PDF]
Communication in space requires antennas that are accurately pointed. Often antennas are mounted on lightly damped space structures, that are easily set into vibration, which decreases the pointing accuracy of the antennas.

Selection of Design Parameters in Optical System of Star Tracker for a Satellite [PDF]
In order to develop star trackers for a satellite in our country we studied selection procedure of optical parameters. For logical selection of the optical parameters, we simulated the entire processes in which star lights imaged on a CCD sensor were ...

Antenna pointing systematic error model derivations [PDF]
The pointing model used to represent and correct systematic errors for the Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas is presented. Analytical expressions are given in both azimuth-elevation (az-el) and hour angle-declination (ha-dec) mounts for RF axis ...

Accuracy‐aware processor customisation for fixed‐point arithmetic
Application‐specific customisation of micro‐processor architectures has been widely accepted as an effective way to improve the efficiency of processor‐based designs. In this work, the authors propose a new processor customisation method based on fixed‐point word‐length optimisation. Accuracy‐aware word‐length optimisation (WLO) of fixed‐point circuits

A comparison of feedback cues for enhancing pointing efficiency in interaction with spatial audio displays [PDF]
An empirical study that compared six different feedback cue types to enhance pointing efficiency in deictic spatial audio displays is presented. Participants were asked to select a sound using a physical pointing gesture, with the help of a loudness cue,
