Adaptive learning controller for synthetic aperture radar

摘要

An adaptive learning controller (ALC) for use with an inertial navigation system (INS). To correct quadratic position errors which result from acceleration bias errors, the ALC produces a position correction signal. The position correction signal is generated by twice integrating an acceleration correction signal produced by the ALC. The ALC receives signals which indicate a current system state based on the corrected position signal and the velocity bias signal. The ALC also receives a failure signal determined by comparing the corrected position signal to predetermined failure criteria, these criteria relating to excursions of the corrected position signals beyond acceptable error limits.
