An optimal filtering solution is presented for the continuous time target tracking problem. The Tracking Index (the target maneuverability to the sensor measurement uncertainty ratio) is found to have fundamental role in the optimal steady-state solution. The Tracking Index solution yields a closed form, consistent set of tracking gains, relationships, and performances. The resulting continuous time stochastic regulators are termed α c -ß c or α c -ß c -γ c target trackers (depending on the tracking order) [15]. For discrete time measurement, the discrete target trackers are defined based on the discrete Tracking Index [10]; however, the process presented in this paper deals with specific models of target maneuvers: velocity, acceleration and jerk. The Tracking Index is dependent on fundamental characteristics of the tracking problem: the track period, measurement noise, target maneuverability and tracker order.

Endfire slotline antennas have been integrated on a 1.75 mu m-thick dielectric substrate. The thin substrate allows the upper frequency limit of the slotline antennas to be pushed beyond 1 THz. Antennas have been fabricated and tested at 350 and 802 GHz. The patterns exhibit high directivity (15+or-1 dB) and wide bandwidth. In the future, these antennas will be combined with SIS junctions for low-noise astronomical receivers.< >

The authors report the development of flange bearing harmonic side-drive (referred to as wobble) micromotors and the results from a comparative study of the operation of flange and center-pin bearing micromotors in different gas environments. Both the flange and center-pin wobble micromotors have been operated with excitation as low as 30 V across 1.5 mu m rotor/stator gaps. In contrast to the center-pin bearing wobble micromotors it was found that the performance of the flange bearing wobble micromotors is not significantly affected by the operational environment. A convenient experimental procedure to characterize friction in wobble micromotors has been developed. Additionally, the requisite wobble micromotor dynamic model for extracting the bearing and bushing/flange frictional parameters from the experimental data is discussed.< >

This article describes a software package useful for the instruction of antenna array theory. The program provides the radiation pattern of different types of antennas, the array factor of linear, two-dimensional and three-dimensional arrays, and the total radiation pattern. The elements of the array are isotropic source, Hertzian dipole, straight thin wire dipole, and finite line source with uniform current distribution. The user has the freedom to choose one of the supported element types or to provide the pattern of an antenna element based on experimental or calculated data. This article serves as a tutorial for selected examples as well as a quick guide for the use of this software.

An experimental investigation of the effects of varying the frequency on the electrical characteristics of a 54/19 ACSR conductor is described. Current from a sine wave alternator with precise voltage and frequency controls in the range 25 to 60Hz was supplied to a pair of parallel tensioned lengths of the conductor, forming a loop within a nonmagnetic enclosure. The dc and ac resistances, the internal inductive reactance, the axial magnetic flux, the surface current density and the temperature of the conductor were found. The ac to dc resistance ratio was found to increase with increasing current and increasing frequency. The surface current density decreased with increasing current and increasing frequency. All these variations can be attributed to the transformer effect, resulting from the presence of the steel core and the spiralling of the layer currents, and the increase of magnetic power loss.

In an effort to enhance the conduction band discontinuity between channel and insulator, In(x)Al1-xAs/n+-In0.53Ga0.47 As HFET's have been fabricated with InAs mole fractions in the In(x)Al1-xAs gate insulator of x = 0.52 (lattice matching), 0.48, 0.40, and 0.30. We have experimentally found that decreasing the InAs mole fraction in the insulator results in reduced forward- and reverse-bias gate currents, increased reverse gate breakdown voltage, and reduced real-space transfer of hot electrons from channel to gate. We have found that down to x = 0.40, these inprovements trade off with a slightly reduced transconductance, but the gain in gate bias swing results in an increase in maximum current drivability. From x = 0.40 to x = 0.30, there is a drastic decrease in transconductance, coincident with a high density of MISFIT dislocations. Wide-bandgap In(x)Al1-xAs insulator HFET's with x almost-equal-to 0.40 show promise for power microwave applications.

A 345-GHz mixer using a planar GaAs Schottky diode has been designed and tested. The design process used nonlinear and linear numerical mixer analysis as well as scale-model impedance measurements. Using a planar diode eliminates the disadvantages of mechanical instability and labor-intensive assembly associated with conventional whisker-contacted diodes. Test results indicate performance on the same level as that of the best whisker-contacted room-temperature mixers for submillimeter wavelengths.< >
