New Methods for Analysis of the Performance of Guidance and Control Systems.
Abstract
The investigation has continued in the use of information theory and in particular rate distortion theory to derive useable upper and lower bounds on the expected loss for the nonlinear filtering problem. A new design criterion has been derived which leads to effective designs of large systems when the entire state is not available for feedback control. Preliminary results have been obtained on the problem of absolute phase demodulation. New results which evaluate the information loss which results from use of the classical phase lock loop instead of the optimal demodulator, have been obtained and are being investigated. (Author)
