The compensation of magnetic and electromagnetic interference generated by drones is one of the main problems related to drone-borne magnetometry. The simplest solution is to suspend the magnetometer at a certain distance from the drone. However, this choice may compromise the flight stability or introduce periodic data variations generated by the oscillations of the magnetometer. We studied this problem by conducting two drone-borne magnetic surveys using a prototype system based on a cesium-vapor magnetometer with a 1000 Hz sampling frequency. First, the magnetometer was fixed to the drone landing-sled (at 0.5 m from the rotors), and then it was suspended 3 m below the drone. These two configurations illustrate endmembers of the possible solutions, favoring the stability of the system during flight or the minimization of the mobile platform noise. Drone-generated noise was filtered according to a CWT analysis, and both the spectral characteristics and the modelled source parameters resulted analogously to that of a ground magnetic dataset in the same area, which were here taken as a control dataset. This study demonstrates that careful processing can return high quality drone-borne data using both flight configurations. The optimal flight solution can be chosen depending on the survey target and flight conditions.

We present a new automatic method of interpretation of magnetic data, called AN‐EUL (pronounced “an oil”). The derivation is based on a combination of the analytic signal and the Euler deconvolution methods. With AN‐EUL, both the location and the approximate geometry of a magnetic source can be deduced. The method is tested using theoretical simulations with different magnetic models placed at different depths with respect to the observation height. In all cases, the method estimated the locations and the approximate geometries of the sources. The method is tested further using ground magnetic data acquired above a shallow geological dike whose source parameters are known from drill logs, and also from airborne magnetic data measured over a known ferrometallic object. In both these cases, the method correctly estimated the locations and the nature of these sources.

The flow of a viscous model fluid in a flat channel with a non-uniform temperature field is considered. The problem of the stability of a thermoviscous fluid is solved on the basis of the derived generalized Orr-Sommerfeld equation by the spectral decomposition method in Chebyshev polynomials. The effect of taking into account the linear and exponential dependences of the fluid viscosity on temperature on the spectral characteristics of the hydrodynamic stability equation for an incompressible fluid in a flat channel with given different wall temperatures is investigated. Analytically obtained profiles of the flow rate of a thermovisible fluid. The spectral pictures of the eigenvalues of the generalized Orr-Sommerfeld equation are constructed. It is shown that the structure of the spectra largely depends on the properties of the liquid, which are determined by the viscosity functional dependence index. It has been established that for small values of the thermoviscosity parameter the spectrum compares the spectrum for isothermal fluid flow, however, as it increases, the number of eigenvalues and their density increase, that is, there are more points at which the problem has a nontrivial solution. The stability of the flow of a thermoviscous fluid depends on the presence of an eigenvalue with a positive imaginary part among the entire set of eigenvalues found with fixed Reynolds number and wavenumber parameters. It is shown that with a fixed Reynolds number and a wave number with an increase in the thermoviscosity parameter, the flow becomes unstable. The spectral characteristics determine the structure of the eigenfunctions and the critical parameters of the flow of a thermally viscous fluid. The eigenfunctions constructed in the subsequent works show the behavior of transverse-velocity perturbations, their possible growth or decay over time.

Airborne magnetic data covering geographical latitudes of 7000‟N to 7030‟N and longitudes of 3 30′E to 4 00′E within Ibadan area were obtained from Nigeria Geology Survey Agency. The data were ana-lyzed to map the sub surface structure and the source parameters were deduced from the quantitative and qualitative interpretation of magnetic data. The upward continuation technique was used to de-emphasize short – wavelength anomaly while the depth to magnetic sources in the area was deter-mined using local wavenumber technique, the analytic signal was also employed to obtain the depths of the magnetic basement. Analysis involving the local wavenumber, upward continuation and appar-ent magnetic susceptibility techniques significantly improves the interpretation of magnetic data in terms of delineating the geological structure, source parameter and magnetic susceptibility within Iba-dan area.. These depth ranges from 0.607km to 2.48km. The apparent susceptibility map at the cut-off wavelength of 50 m ranges from -0.00012 to 0.00079 which agree with the susceptibility value of some rock types; granite gneiss, migmatite biotite gneiss, biotite muscovite granite, hornblende granite, quartz and schists. The result of the local wavenumber suggests variation along the profiles in the surface of magnetic basement across the study area.

The results of physical modeling of the influence of solid and segment lightning diverter strips on the spectrum of electromagnetic interference on the antenna under the model of the nose radome of the aircraft under the influence of an artificial thunderstorm cell are presented. It is shown that the use of segment lightning diverter strips leads to the appearance of signals with frequencies up to units of gigahertz in the spectrum on the antenna. The connection between the spectrum of signals on the antenna and the spectral characteristics of current pulses on the lightning diverter strip is established. The influence of discharges along the radome surface and between the segments on the electromagnetic spectrum is revealed interference on the antenna under the radome.

Electric vehicles are alternative vehicles that carry energy efficient. At this time the dominant vehicle uses ordinary wheels so that it will become an obstacle in the maneuver function that requires movement in various directions. With mechanum wheels the vehicle can move in various directions by adjusting the direction of rotation of each wheel. The problem is choosing the right control system for the control system needed by the vehicle. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of variations in the value of PI (Proportional Integral) and speed of the vehicle to the stability response of the system to control the direction of prototype electric vehicles. This study method is an experiment that is by giving a treatment, then evaluating the effects caused by the research object. The results of this study can be concluded that the variation of PI constant values and speed variations have an effect on the stability parameters of the system, namely rise time, settling time, overshot, and steady state error. To get the best system stability response results can use the constant value PI Kp = 2; and Ki = 17; where the stability response of the system for direction control at each speed condition has a fairly good value with a fast rise time, fast settling time, small overshot and a small error steady state compared to other PI constant values in this study.Keywords: mechanum wheel, PI control, direction, prototype, system stability

In this paper, we study the spectral characteristics and global representations of strongly nonlinear, non-stationary electromagnetic interferences (EMI), which is of great significance in analysing the mathematical modelling of electromagnetic capability (EMC) for a large scale integrated system. We firstly propose to use Self-Organizing Feature Map Neural Network (SOM) to cluster EMI signals. To tackle with the high dimensionality of EMI signals, we combine the dimension reduction and clustering approaches, and find out the global features of different interference factors, in order to finally provide precise mathematical simulation models for EMC design, analysis, forecasting and evaluation. Experimental results have demonstrated the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract. The goal of this study is to find a way to statistically estimate the Hall to Pedersen conductance ratio α from ground magnetic data. We use vector magnetic data from the CHAMP satellite to derive this relation. α is attained from magnetic satellite data using the 1-D Spherical Elementary Current Systems (SECS). The ionospheric equivalent current density can either be computed from ground or satellite magnetic data. Under the required 1-D assumption, these two approaches are shown to be equal, which leads to the advantage that the statistics are not restricted to areas covered by ground data. Unlike other methods, using magnetic satellite measurements to determine α ensures reliable data over long time sequences. The statistical study, comprising over 6000 passes between 55° and 76.5° northern geomagnetic latitude during 2001 and 2002, is carried out employing data from the CHAMP satellite. The data are binned according to activity and season. In agreement with earlier studies, values between 1 and 3 are typically found for α. Good compatibility is found, when α attained from CHAMP data is compared with EISCAT radar measurements. The results make it possible to estimate α from the east-west equivalent current density Jφ; [A/km]: α=2.07/(36.54/|Jφ|+1) for Jφ<0 (westward) and α=1.73/(14.79/|Jφ+1) for Jφ0 (eastward). Using the same data, statistics of ionospheric and field-aligned current densities as a function of geomagnetic latitude and MLT are included. These are binned with respect to activity, season and IMF BZ and BY. For the first time, all three current density components are simultaneously studied this way on a comparable spatial scale. With increasing activity, the enhancement and the equatorward expansion of the electrojets and the R1 and R2 currents is observed, and in the nightside, possible indications of a Cowling channel appear. During southward IMF BZ, the electrojets and the R1 and R2 currents are stronger and clearer than during northward BZ. IMF BY affects the orientation of the pattern.
