    In order to realize fault prediction of equipments,the paper uses the Support Vector Machine (SVM) as the basic learning algorithm,and adopts the weighted SVM regression method to assign relatively larger weight to the mutation point,so as to enhance the training of the mutation point and improve the fault prediction accuracy.By using the adaptive weight clipping method,the sample points with smaller weights are eliminated by calculating the regression weights of the sample points.Meanwhile,the number of samples participating in the training is reduced so as to improve the forecasting speed.Finally,the fault prediction model is established by selecting the appropriate kernel function and related parameters.The validity and superiority of the algorithm are verified by taking a certain type of communication station as an example.

    The cyclic shift characteristic of the circular array co-variance matrix was used to study the super-directivity theory of the circular array based on the optimization of the aggregation coefficient.The maximum aggregation coefficient,the optimal beam pattern and the optimal weighted vector expressed by elementary function were obtained.The beam gain and the robustness parameters of the circular array varying with the radius ratio,and their influence on the array directivity were analyzed.An analytic and closed solution of the super-directivity of the circular array was given,and a method for decomposing and synthesizing characteristic beams was realized.Based on the characteristics of the noise signal of the airborne sound source,four criteria that should be followed when designing the super-directional circular array for the noise of the airborne sound source were given.Based on the measured radiation noise characteristics of a helicopter,a small-scale,super-directional receiver array was designed,and its performance was analyzed.

    In view of the existing phase-difference algorithm's dramatic performance degradation in instantaneous frequency estimation for Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) signals when Signal-Noise Ratio (SNR) is low,an improved algorithm is proposed based on N-order phase-difference.Firstly,based on phase reconstruction,the adaptive incremental threshold is set up to confirm the frequency ambiguity position for the frequency mutation caused by SNR threshold,and the loop iteration is utilized for interpolation correction.Then,instantaneous frequency is estimated by high-order phase difference by phase jump information,and the iterative reweighed least square method is used for linear fitting.Finally,the idea of self-adaption is introduced to deal with input signals with different frequencies,especially with low frequency.Simulation results show that,compared with existing phase-difference method,the proposed algorithm can keep low computational complexity while improving anti-noise performance,and the lower limit of input SNR requirement reduces by 4 dB approximately.

    SURE-DSS, a method for blind separation of radar signals with noise was proposed based on Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimate Singular Value Thresholding (SURESVT) and Denoising Source Separation (DSS). First, SURESVT was used in place of the singular value decomposition of DSS for obtaining the optimum threshold of the singular value for the observed data, under Stein's unbiased risk estimation principle. Then, the singular values of the observed data were compressed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio while implementing data whitening. At last, the whitened data was separated blindly. The simulation results show that the proposed method can separate the mixed signals effectively for the array model with noise.

    The task allocation for multiple UAVs is a complex multi-constraint,multi-objective,nonlinear optimization problem.Aiming at the defect of each commonly-used intelligent algorithm,and based on the characteristics of fireworks algorithm,this paper proposes an improved adaptive fireworks algorithm to deal with the problem.The mathematical model of the problem is built firstly,then,the weight of each index is obtained by using AHP together with the gray correlation method.The model is then transformed into a problem of unconstrained,single-objective extremum value by using the external penalty function method.After that,the adaptive fireworks algorithm is used to solve the model.In order to verify the superiority of adaptive fireworks algorithm in dealing with this problem,several different optimization algorithms are used for simulation.The experimental simulation results show that,the adaptive fireworks algorithm can quickly converge to the global optimum solution,and the result intuitively describes the reasonable task allocation scheme under complex situations.

    The multi-sensor fusion estimation problem is investigated in the paper for a class of uncertain systems with stochastic sensor gain degradation.Firstly,the model's uncertainty is described by stochastic parameter perturbations considered in the system matrix.The sensor gain degradation is described by a random variable whose expectation and variance are assumed to be known.Then,a kind of local unbiased estimator is proposed,and an optimization problem is established by taking the matrix weighted fusion estimation error as the cost function,and the local filter gains as the decision variables.Considering that obtaining the closed form of the optimal consensus filter gains is a challenging problem,a set of sub-optimal local filter gains are computed based on minimizing an upper bound of the cost function.Finally,a simulation example is given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

    In the wireless communications system,the cooperation of users with eavesdropping relay may result in the leakage of information.To ensure their communication security,it's necessary to pay the cooperative jammer for the jamming power.In order to improve the user benefits under secret communication,this paper presents a power allocation mechanism combining relay with jammer based on the Stackelberg game.In the case of the eavesdropping relay cooperative forwarding and the idle user collaboratedinterfering,a tripartite game model is established based on Stackelberg game,where the communication user is regarded as a power-buyer and the relay and idle users are regarded as power-sellers.Simulation results show that the proposed joint power allocation mechanism will converge to some value which is not only the maximum utility of all nodes after several iterations,but also the maximum security capacity of the sender.The security capacity improves by 0.2 (bit·s-1) ·Hz-1 than that of relay with full power,which improves the safety performance of the user.
