A method for in-orbit estimation of time-varying residual magnetic moment (RMM) is presented. By use of a simple approach, the covariance of the Kalman filter is adapted to get better tracking in case of unexpected abrupt changes in the RMM without sacrificing estimation accuracy. The proposed method does not need a priori information about the magnitude of the change and assures both accurate estimation and good tracking performance for changes with different magnitudes.

Derivation of length extension formulas for complementary sets of sequences using orthogonal filterbanks
Candan, Çağatay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2006-11-23)
A method for the construction of complementary sets of sequences using polyphase representation of orthogonal filterbanks is presented. It is shown that the case of two-channel filterbanks unifies individually derived length extension formulas for complementary sequences into a common framework and the general M-channel case produces novel formulas for the extension of complementary sets of sequences. The presented technique can also be used to generate polyphase and multilevel sequences.
Computational study of subsonic flow over a delta canard-wing-body configuration
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1998-07-01)
Subsonic flowfields over a close-coupled, delta canard-wing-body configuration at angles of attack of 20, 24,2, and 30 deg are computed using the OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes solver Computed flowfields are presented in terms of particle traces, surface streamlines, and leeward-side surface pressure distributions for the canard-on and -off configurations. The interaction between the canard and the wing vortices, wing vortex breakdown, and the influence of the canard on vortex breakdown are identified, The comparis...
New Prediction for Extended Targets With Random Matrices
Granstrom, Karl; Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-04-01)
This paper presents a new prediction update for extended targets whose extensions are modeled as random matrices. The prediction is based on several minimizations of the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL-div) and allows for a kinematic state dependent transformation of the target extension. The results show that the extension prediction is a significant improvement over the previous work carried out on the topic.
Implementation of the Equivalence Principle Algorithm for Potential Integral Equations
Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-05-01)
A novel implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) employing potential integral equations (PIEs) is presented. EPA is generalized to be compatible with PIEs that are used to formulate inner problems inside equivalence surfaces. Based on the stability of PIEs, the resulting EPA-PIE implementation is suitable for low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. Along with the formulation and a clear demonstration of the EPA-PIE mechanism, high accuracy, stabi...
Estimation of pico-satellite attitude dynamics and external torques via Unscented Kalman Filter
Söken, Halil Ersin (FapUNIFESP (SciELO), 2014-01-01)
In this study, an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm is designed for estimating the attitude of a picosatellite and the in-orbit external disturbance torques. The estimation vector is formed by the satellite's attitude, angular rates, and the unknown constant components of the external disturbance torques acting on the satellite. The gravity gradient torque, residual magnetic moment, sun radiation pressure and aerodynamic drag are all included in the estimated external disturbance torque vector. The sa...
