  • In this paper, a solar power tracking method using the solar cells is proposed, which has 3 solar cell located at an interval of $60^{\circ}$ in azimuth so that the sunlight may almost be perpendicular to the solar cells without excessive mechanical operation. Compared with the solar cell voltages in each azimuth, there is the highest voltage in time interval. As a results, this solar cell system achieve higher relative efficiency of $1.6{\sim}11.5%$ than fixed solar cell system. Therefore, it is verifying that this solar cell tracking system obtain more relative efficiency than fixed solar cell system for aid to navigation.

  • This paper shows the desist concept of an ATS(Antenna Tracking Software) to control the movement of the MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) antenna. The MSC has a two-axes directional X-band antenna for image transmission to KGS(KOMSAT2 Ground Station). The main objective of the ATS is to drive the APM(Antenna Pointing Mechanism) to the required elevation and the azimuth position according to an appropriate TPF(Tracking Parameter File). The ATS is implemented as one task of the SBC(Single Board Computer) software, which uses VxWorks as a real time OS. The ATS has several operational modes such as STANDBY mode, First EL mode, First AZ mode, Normal Operation mode, and so on. The ATS uses two PI controllers fur the velocity and the position loop respectively, to satisfy the requirements specification. In order to show the feasibility of the described design concept, the various simulations and the experiments are performed under specific test configuration.

  • Research on indoor location tracking technology using smart phone is actively being carried out. Especially, in order to display the movement path of the smartphone on the map, the azimuth angle should be estimated by using the geomagnetic sensor built in most smart phones. Due to the distortion of the magnetic field due to the surrounding steel structure and the inclination of the smartphone, the estimation error of azimuthal angle may be occurred. In this paper, we propose a correction method of the geomagnetic sensor at the stationary state and a correction method for the inclination of the smartphone. We also propose a method to correct the azimuth error due to the difference between the magnetic north and the grid north.

  • This paper presents a new approach to the design of neural-fuzzy controller for the speed and azimuth control of a track vehicle. The proposed control scheme uses a Gaussian function as a unit function in the frzzy-neural network, and back propagaton algorithm to train the fuzzy-neural network controller in the framework of the specialized learning architecture. It is proposed a learning controller consisting of two neural network-fuzzy based on independent reasoning and a connection net with fixed weights to simply the neural networks-fuzzy. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by performing the computer simulation for trajectory tracking of the speed and azimuth of a track vehicle driven by two independent wheels.

  • Recently, worldwide government policy is pursuing saving energy and preservation. add to this, the solar cells are getting the spotlight nonpolluting energy source, using a variety of products for solar cell. in this paper, we'll make solar tracking system for suitable of dynamic boat. we knew that general boats are using fixed solar cell, it's first time to use tracking system of solar cells for boats so it is hard to application. To solve this problem in this paper we use to a magnetic compass and GPS for suitable solar tracking system of dynamic movement and to analyze fixed and tracking solar system. frist. solar tracking device is designed two-axis control system. one-axis control system is taken a magnetic compass for making efficiency defence solar tracking sensor, two-axis control system apply GPS latitude and longitude data for SPA(Solar position algorithm) so we know the azimuth and altitude. it analyze data value of accuracy comparison from result. so the proposed algorithm confirm to have validity.

  • A practical filter is suggested for ground-Dasea missile tracking in a capture guidance mode, utilizing angle-only measurements from a passive sensor and its performance is evaluated by a realistic system simulation study. Also suggested is a missile acceleration model that provides inputs to the filter. The suggested filter has a decoupled structure of independent azimuth and elevation channels with efficiency in commutation time and memory requirements.

  • In radar tracking, since the sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle of a target, the measurement equation is nonlinear and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to nonlinear estimation. The conventional EKF has been widely used as a nonlinear filter for radar tracking, but the considerably large measurement error due to the linearization of nonlinear function in highly nonlinear situations may deteriorate the performance of the EKF. To solve this problem, a fuzzy-model-based Kalman filter (FMBKF) is proposed for radar tracking. The FMBKP uses a local model approximation based on a TS fuzzy model instead of a Jacobian matrix to linearize nonlinear measurement equation. The hybrid GA and RLS method is used to identify the premise and the consequent parameters and the rule numbers of this TS fuzzy model. In two-dimensional radar tracking problem, the proposed method is compared with the conventional EKF.

  • This paper describes the remote tracking algorithm using measurements (azimuth, elevation, and slant range) of the radar ground station. Kalman filter model for noise reduction of the measured information is first derived by linearizing with respect to angle, angular rate, range, and range rate. And then a tracking algorithm is introduced to calculate the position of the vehicle during in-flight. The simulation results show that the algorithm is practical and effective enough tracking position of the vehicle in considerably less error.

  • This paper describes the realization of a coordinates tracking algorithm for an EOTS (Electro-Optical Tracking System). The EOTS stabilizes the image sensors, tracks targets automatically, and provides navigation capability for vehicles. The coordinates tracking algorithm calculates the azimuth and the elevation angle of an EOTS using the inertial navigation system and the attitude sensors of the vehicle, so that LOS designates the target coordinates which are generated by a Radar. In the error analysis, the unexpected behaviors of an EOTS due to the time delay and deadbeat of the digital signals of the vehicle equipments are anticipated and the countermeasures are suggested. The application of this algorithm to an EOTS will improve the operational capability by reducing the time which is required to find the target and support flight especially in the night time flight and the poor weather condition.
