The dependence of residual phase shifts upon the angle of inclination of the orbit for a model Martian atmosphere is examined. It is found that departures from spherical symmetry in the electron number density profiles result in changes of as much as an order of magnitude in the phase shifts of radio waves passing through the atmosphere and ionosphere of the model. These results confirm the earlier findings of Pirraglia and Gross (1970).
This report describes the application of a three-dimensional two-component model to the distribution of argon in the upper atmosphere of the earth. The Cira (1972) model is used to specify the background gas density and the temperature as functions of altitude, latitude, local time, and day of the year. Emphasis is placed on examining the effects of departures from hydrostatic equilibrium on the argon density distribution. Such effects are found to be significant, producing a strong summer argon bulge. Comparisons of the model results with observational data are discussed.
Frequency domain methods are used to study the angles of arrival and departure for multivariable root loci. Explicit equations are obtained. For a special class of poles and zeros, some simpler equations that are generalizations of the single input/single output equations are presented.
The relationship between direct operating cost (DOC) and noise annoyance due to a departure and an arrival operation was developed for commercial tilt rotor aircraft. This was accomplished by generating a series of tilt rotor aircraft designs to meet various noise goals at minimum DOC. These vehicles ranged across the spectrum of possible noise levels from completely unconstrained to the quietest vehicles that could be designed within the study ground rules. Optimization parameters were varied to find the minimum DOC. This basic variation was then extended to different aircraft sizes and technology time frames.
Frequency domain methods are developed to obtain explicit equations for the angles of arrival and departure for multivariable root loci. The techniques involve an evaluation of polynomials formulated within the transfer function matrix. The equations defined require simpler computations than the state-space results of Shaked (1976). A class of higher order poles and zeros is formulated in terms of simpler equations than Shaked's, and the equations are shown to be generalizations of the single-input-single-output root locus equations.
