Optimization of radio astronomical observations using Allan variance measurements
Stability tests based on the Allan variance method have become a standard procedure for the evaluation of the quality of radio-astronomical instrumentation. They are very simple and simulate the situation when detecting weak signals buried in large noise fluctuations. For the special conditions during observations an outline of the basic properties of the Allan variance is given, and some guide...
متن کاملModeling Inertial Sensors Errors Using Allan Variance
It is well known that Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) can provide high accuracy information on the position, velocity, and attitude over a short time period. However, their accuracy degrades rapidly with time. The requirements for accurate estimation of navigation information necessitate the modeling of the sensors' noise components. Several methods have been devised for stochastic modeling o...
متن کاملSpectral ambiguity of Allan variance
The phase-noise spectrum determines the Allan variance by a well-known integral formula. It is shown here that unique inversion of this formula is not possible in general because the mapping from spectrum to Allan variance is not one-to-one. A necessary and sufficient condition for two distinct phase spectra to have the same Allan variance is given.
متن کاملThe Wavelet Variance , Allan Variance and Leakage
Wavelets have recently been a subject of great interest in geophysics, mathematics and signal processing. The discrete wavelet transform can be used to decompose a time series with respect to a set of basis functions, each one of which is associated with a particular scale. The properties of a time series at different scales can then be summarized by the wavelet variance, which decomposes the v...
متن کاملFree-Space Quantum Signatures Using Heterodyne Measurements.
Digital signatures guarantee the authorship of electronic communications. Currently used "classical" signature schemes rely on unproven computational assumptions for security, while quantum signatures rely only on the laws of quantum mechanics to sign a classical message. Previous quantum signature schemes have used unambiguous quantum measurements. Such measurements, however, sometimes give no...
