			<title><![CDATA[IEEE AESS 2012 Pioneer Award: Evolution of aerospace systems through advancements in electronic miniaturization and digital signal processing technologies]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6516144]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[The digital revolution of the late 1960s started to define architectures of next-generation aerospace systems. While extremely modest by today's standards, the advent of semiconductor memories, high speed and resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and microprocessors offered capabilities that were not possible to realize with analog systems alone. This coupled with electronic miniaturization and digital signal processing (DSP) techniques allowed systems to be smaller, smarter, and more reliable. Upon graduation from UCLA with my undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical sciences and engineering, I enthusiastically sought employment where I could use my education to advance my field in a significant way. While a graduate student, I taught electronics, electrical engineering, and control systems at Pacific States University, a private college in Los Angeles. My first real-world experience was derived by my employment at Pertec Corporation (Chatsworth, California) as an engineer in the development of computer peripherals that included tape transports, disc drives, and formatters. I extensively utilized the knowledge I had acquired in the classroom in the design of these systems; however, the most important education I received was the importance of designing systems for performance, quality, and price. While the job offered me numerous opportunities and I worked with an excellent team, I was hoping for more creative challenges. The opportunity arrived in 1975 when Systron Donner Corporation's Microwave Division (SDMD) offered me a position as a project engineer to develop the company's first spectrum analyzer with digital storage display. SDMD was one of three leading companies specializing in radio frequency (RF) and microwave components and instrumentation. The company's line of spectrum analyzers used the bulky, expensive analog storage tubes, which had severe limitations, including display flicker, poor reliability, and the inability to view mu-
tiple waveforms simultaneously. I was promised a technician, a junior engineer, and an assembler who would be devoted solely to my project. Gullible as I was in those days, I believed in this support that I was going to receive only to realize shortly thereafter that due to ?????????emergencies on other projects,????????? I would be the lone warrior championing this project. In hindsight, I believe that this was the greatest learning experience of my life. Not only did I design the entire system, but I learned the value of proper soldering, circuit layout, interface between analog and digital circuits, and noise reduction techniques. The digital storage spectrum analyzer incorporated an 8-bit successive approximation ADC and eight of Intel's newly introduced 2101 (1K??????1) random access memories to create a memory with 256??????1024 resolution. This, together with DSP techniques, proved capable of processing the downconverted intermediate frequency from the RF/microwave tracking receiver to replace the bulky, expensive, and inefficient analog storage tube-based analyzer and provided, never before realized features, such as adaptive sweep, electronic frequency marker, electronic baseline clipper, simultaneous viewing of multiple waveforms, and other important features [1]. For its time, this contribution was considered seminal and resulted in three important patents for SD, with me as the sole inventor [2], [3], [4].]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6516145]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[In this article, we present a study of DTN architecture over a typical relay-based space communication infrastructure, focusing on performance characterization of LTPCL in comparison with TCPCL. We have concluded that LTPCL has significant goodput performance advantages over TCPCL at all the experimented BERs (0??10??5) and channel ratios (1/1??500/1). The advantages of LTPCL over TCPCL are more significant for a higher channel ratio over a less lossy and moderately lossy (with BER ?? 10??6) space channel. When data loss and corruption events happen, unlike TCPCL, which implements the congestion control mechanism, LTPCL simply retransmits the lost and/or corrupted data without reduction of the data transmission rate. As a result, LTPCL achieves a very high transmission efficiency and thus a significant goodput advantage over TCPCL, and the significant performance difference between LTPCL and TCPCL with a high channel ratio (500/1) is mainly caused by a highly reduced ACK channel capacity associated with the different ACK traffic issued by receiver.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Preliminary research on optimal design based on control demands for hypersonic morphing vehicle]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6516146]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[This study investigates the optimal design problems for the hypersonic morphing vehicle. The correlations among the shock wave variation, propulsive performance, and control effect are discussed. The inversion design methods are applied to calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments of the hypersonic morphing vehicle based on the theories of the hypersonic computational mechanics. Then, the hypersonic morphing vehicle model is built, and the optimal performance indexes reflecting the waverider flight characteristics considering the appropriate flight conditions and the initial model parameters are presented. Furthermore, the variable metric algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the performance function. The optimum model parameters for the hypersonic morphing vehicle are then obtained with the control requirements. Finally, the effectiveness of the optimal design methods is verified by simulation. In general, the designs are preliminarily completed, along with the synthesis of the shape, aerodynamic force, propulsion, and the control action. We believe that this study provides helpful information on hypersonic morphing vehicles to guide future research.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6516147]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[The overall UAV approach discussed in this article provided satisfactory performance for the avionics systems; however, the design is limited with regard to the wireless link and the image processing. Future development will focus on redesign of the airframe platform, the wireless link, and the image processing. UAV flight characteristics need to be better understood and more thoroughly tested to accommodate less-than-ideal flight conditions. Full analyses of the link margin for spectrum management and of risk assessment to handle flight failure/termination events, e.g., loss of data link, GPS, or autopilot, are needed. Overall, the design experience demonstrated systems trade-offs present in a practical vehicle and UAV capabilities even using off-the-shelf component integration. The prototype UAV could be used for aerial mapping, environmental monitoring, and search and rescue at a cost significantly lower than using traditional full-size aircraft for the same missions.]]></description>
