Theoretical Considerations for a Geosynchronous, Earth-Based Gravity Wave Interferometer
We investigated theoretical considerations in the design of an Earth-based laser interferometer for detecting gravitational waves. Our design envisages a ground-based tracking station in communication with two geosynchronous satellites. We assumed linearized gravitational waves in a Schwarzschild spacetime geometry outside the Earth. Our initial calculations show that such a design is sufficien...
متن کاملVCSEL-based miniature laser-Doppler interferometer [6908-16]
There are many applications for non-contact measurement of the displacement and velocity of moving objects, especially when achieved at low cost. An optical displacement sensor has been developed that can be compared to expensive laserinterferometry sensors, however at a cost compatible with requirements for consumer products. This miniature LaserDoppler Interferometer works on all light scatte...
متن کاملMiniature lamellar grating interferometer based on silicon technology.
We present a lamellar grating interferometer realized with microelectromechanical system technology. It is used as a time-scanning Fourier-transform spectrometer. The motion is carried out by an electrostatic comb drive actuator fabricated by silicon micromachining, particularly by silicon-on-insulator technology. For the first time to our knowledge, we measure the spectrum of an extended white...
متن کاملNear-Earth Object Surveying in the late 20th Century
Spacewatch has carried out a full-time digital survey of the opposition region since September 1990. 129 Near-Earth asteroids have been discovered through the April 1996 observing run. Other discoveries include an average of about 2000 main-belt asteroids each lunation, 3 new Cenataur asteroids, and 5 comets (including a re-discovery of a long-lost comet). The present reduction methods and capa...
متن کاملMagnitude modulation for small satellite Earth terminals using QPSK and OQPSK
This paper investigates the design and application of data magnitude modulation to reduce power amplifier back-off for QPSK and OQPSK modulations for small satellite Earth stations. The coefficients for data magnitude modulation are obtained by using an iterative design loop. The parameters of this loop are tuned to obtain maximum gain. Roll-off factors from 10% to 100% are considered, with emp...
