چکیده
This paper describes periodic error in differentialpath interferometry using a Frequency-Path model of the propagation of light from the source to detector in differentialpath interferometers. The model identifies each possible path for each light frequency from the source to detector and predicts the number of interference terms that may be expected at the detector output. The behavior of all possible interference terms with respect to optical path changes may be grouped into one of four categories: Optical Power, AC Interference, AC Reference, and DC Interference. A description of a single pass, Michelson-type heterodyne interferometer is given and the periodic error is calculated for a selected system.

Improvement in Differential GPS Accuracy using Kalman Filter
Global Positioning System (GPS) is proven to be an accurate positioning sensor. However, there are several sources of errors such as ionosphere and troposphere effects, satellite time errors, errors of orbit data, receivers errors, and errors resulting from multi-path effect which reduce the accuracy of low-cost GPS receivers. These sources of errors also limit the use of single-frequency GPS r...

متن کاملLongest Path in Networks of Queues in the Steady-State
Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
