Systems Engineering Models
This presentation answers the question: What is an Engineering Model? I will review a brief history of models and address the Purpose and Utility of Engineering Models. Subsequently, I will address Engineering Block Diagrams, Modeling Systems and Mathematical Modeling. I will present an example using Geolocation Systems addressing the mathematical models applied for Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) parameters, as well as the Cross Ambiguity Function. I will present the effects of Sensitivity and Dynamic Range on Geolocation.
