Dielectric loading in bandpass double-layer frequency selective surface design is a necessary process. The problem that dielectric loaded inducing the transmission loss in the centre of the frequency response curve is difficult to be avoided. Hexagon aperture FSS array is studied by numerical calculation and simulation analysis. The different way of loading dielectric, the different dielectric constant of double-layer FSS and the different coupling way of the two layer transmission curve have great influence on the transmission characteristics. Simulation results show that decreasing the thickness and permittivity of the dielectric can reduce the transmission loss. Besides, the sunken degree in the centre of the pass-band can be improved by extending the bandwidth. Aiming at comprehensive improving the transmission characteristics like band width, cutoff steepness, polarization and angle insensitivity and transmission loss, a modified dielectric loaded double-layer hexagon aperture FSS array structure is designed.

A measurement method with calotte cube was proposed to realize the high-precision calibration of size error in industrial computer tomography (CT) system. Using the traceability of calotte cube, the measurement of the repeatability error, probing error and length measurement error of industrial CT system was carried out to increase the acceptance of CT as a metrological method. The main error factors, including the material absorption, projection number and integration time and so on, had been studied in detail. Experimental results show that the proposed measurement method provides a feasible way to measure the size error of industrial CT system. Compared with the measurement results with invar 27- sphere gauge, a high accuracy in the order of microns is realized with the proposed method based on calotte cube. Differing from the invar 27-sphere gauge method, the material particularity of calotte cube (material of metallic titanium) could introduce beam hardening effect, the study on the influence of material absorption and structural specificity on the measurement, which provides significant reference for the measurement of metallic samples, is necessary.

In order to study the effect of reflector angle on the performance of two fiber distance sensor with single mode illumination, a theoretical model approximating the illumination light exiting the single mode fiber as having a Gaussian intensity profile is established to describe the intensity modulation performance by taking the reflector angle into consideration, and measurements were made to verify the validity of the theoretical model. Numerical simulation results indicate that although the effect of reflector angle α on the sensitivity becomes weaker when α is positive, the blind region, linear range, peak position and sensitivity decreases as the reflector angle becomes more and more positive. The study would help the design and application of fiber distance sensor with single mode illumination.

In the design of a multi-frequency multi-constellation GNSS software defined radio receivers is becoming more and more popular due to its simple architecture, flexible configuration and good coherence in multi-frequency signal processing. It plays an important role in navigation signal processing and signal quality monitoring. In particular, GNSS software defined radio receivers driving the sampling clock of analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) by FPGA implies that a more flexible radio transceiver design is possible. According to the concept of software defined radio (SDR), the ideal is to digitize as close to the antenna as possible. Whereas the carrier frequency of GNSS signal is of the frequency of GHz, converting at this frequency is expensive and consumes more power. Band sampling method is a cheaper, more effective alternative. When using band sampling method, it is possible to sample a RF signal at twice the bandwidth of the signal. Unfortunately, as the other side of the coin, the introduction of SDR concept and band sampling method induce negative influence on the performance of the GNSS receivers. ADC’s suffer larger sampling clock jitter generated by FPGA; and low sampling frequency introduces more noise to the receiver. Then the influence of sampling noise cannot be neglected. The paper analyzes the sampling noise, presents its influence on the carrier noise ratio, and derives the ranging error by calculating the synchronization error of the delay locked loop. Simulations aiming at each impact factors of sampling-noise-induced ranging error are performed. Simulation and experiment results show that if the target ranging accuracy is at the level of centimeter, the quantization length should be no less than 8 and the sampling clock jitter should not exceed 30ps.

An advanced sinusoidal phase-shifting technique and a time-domain phase demodulation method were used to improve the measurement accuracy and realize the real-time measurement speed of the laser self-mixing interferometer in a large range of displacement. An electro-optic crystal modulator (EOM) was used to realize the sinusoidal phase-shifting on the laser beam in the external cavity. The interference signal was demodulated using a time-domain phase demodulation method. The speed requirement could be met by combining the two together in a wide range of displacement measurement processes together with the real-time measurement requirement as an interferometer at the same time. It was experimentally verified that the displacement measurement precision of a sinusoidal phase-shifting laser self-mixing interferometer could reach less than 0.5 μm in the hundred mm large-scale displacement measuring process. In addition, the factors affecting the interferometer’s measurement speed in the real-time displacement measurement process is analyzed and the maximum speed of our system was obtained as well.

The improved autocollimators for measuring angular deformations of the large constructions as support tube of mirror and elevation axle of the radio telescopes are analyzed. Two new types of the reflector for autocollimator are researched. The first type of the reflectors is the tetrahedral reflector with flat reflecting sides and invariant axis. The autocollimator with tetrahedral reflector is used for the measuring 3-D deformations as roll, pitch and yaw angular deviations. The second type of the reflector is the composition of the anamorphic wedge system and ordinary cube-corner retroreflector. This reflector generates the narrow beam, as result the work distance and the range of measurement of the roll angle increase. Technical characteristics of the experimental setups of new reflectors are presented. Features of the tetrahedral reflector and anamorphic system as the reflectors for multipurpose autocollimator are discussed.

As the key process to ensure the test accuracy and quality, the dynamic calibration of the GNSS attitude measuring instrument is often embarrassed by the lack of the rigid enough test platform and an accurate enough calibration reference. To solve the problems, a novel dynamic calibration method for GNSS attitude measurement based on altazimuth mount is put forward in this paper. The principle and implementation of this method are presented, and then the feasibility and usability of the method are analyzed in detail involving the applicability of the mount, calibrating precision, calibrating range, base line rigidity and the satellite signal involved factors. Furthermore, to verify and test the method, a confirmatory experiment is carried out with the survey ship GPS attitude measuring instrument, and the experimental results prove that it is a feasible way to the dynamic calibration for GNSS attitude measurement.

In order to calibrate a high precision rotary table, a calibration system was established to measure the position error and repeatability of rotary table. The position error was measured with a polygon, an index table and an autocollimator to separate the angular error of the polygon from the position error of the rotary table, and the position error of rotary table was calculated using least square method. The rotary table was compensated and calibrated with the position error measured. The repeatability of the rotary table established through 10 times full circle rotations was 0.02 arc second. The measurement results indicated that the combination calibration method was suitable for the calibration of a high precision rotary table. It was found through the analysis that the angular measurement uncertainty was 0.08 arc second.
