CMB Observations: improvements of the performance of correlation radiometers by signal modulation and synchronous detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Observation of the fine structures (anisotropies, polarization, spectral distortions) of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is hampered by instabilities, 1/f noise and asymmetries of the radiometers used to carry on the measurements. Addition of modulation and synchronous detection allows to increase the overall stability and the noise rejection of the radiometers used for CMB studies. In this paper we discuss the advantages this technique has when we try to detect CMB polarization. The behaviour of a two channel correlation receiver to which phase modulation and synchronous detection have been added is examined. Practical formulae for evaluating the improvements are presented.

Dynamic Performance Analysis of High-Frequency Signal Injection Based Sensorless Methods for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
This paper focuses on three commonly used sensorless methods based on high-frequency signal injection; namely, the rotating sinusoidal injection in the stationary reference frame, the pulsating sinusoidal injection in the estimated synchronous reference frame, and the pulsating square wave injection in the estimated synchronous reference frame. Although these methods have found applications in ...

Power capacitors are important equipment of the power systems that are being operated in high voltage levels at high temperatures for long periods. As time goes on, their insulation fracture rate increases, and partial discharge is the most important cause of their fracture. Therefore, fast and accurate methods have great importance to accurately diagnosis the partial discharge. Conventional me...
متن کاملThe advantage of using a diode laser instead of a Q-switched laser in photoacoustic imaging of tissues
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of biological tissues using laser diodes instead of conventional Q switched pulsed systems provides an attractive alternative for biomedical applications. However, the relatively low energy of laser diodes operating in the pulsed regime, results in generation of very weak acoustic waves, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signals. This problem can be ...

متن کاملImproving the Tracking Error Signal Extraction in IR Seeker with Stationary Wagon Wheel Reticle over all Field of View
The accuracy of target position detection in IR seeker depends on the accuracy of tracking error signal (TES) extraction from seeker Field of View (FOV). The type of reticle inside the seeker determines the output modulation signal that carries the TES. In this paper, the stationary wagon wheel reticle is used, which makes the type of the output signal as FM modulation in the linear region of F...
