A method of correlation-interferometric direction finding has been improved, which effectively solves the problem of radio direction finding of radio emission sources under conditions of exposure to one or two masking interference. The problem was solved using the selection of an unmasked fragment of the spatial spectrum of the signal and the reconstruction of the missing samples of its signal group. As a result of the synthesis of the proposed method, estimates of signal samples were obtained as exact solutions to the proposed energy balance equations. The resulting solutions provide a significant increase in the signal-to-interference ratio and, accordingly, direction-finding accuracy without increasing the number of reception channels of the antenna array. As a result of the simulation, the dependences of the standard deviation of the bearing estimate on the signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of interference were built. Under the influence of one or two masking interferences and a signal-to-interference ratio of 0 dB, the use of the known direction-finding method without interference selection produces an anomalously large direction-finding error of more than 0.42 degrees, which is practically independent of the signal-to-noise ratio. The direction-finding method with selection of spectral signal samples masked by interference reduces the direction-finding error to 0.22 degrees when exposed to one interference and to 0.3 degrees when exposed to two interferences. This is due to the presence of power losses of the usable signal during the selection of its samples masked by interference. The proposed method of direction finding with reconstruction of signal samples provides a significant gain in accuracy by 3–30 times compared to the method of selection of masked samples in the range of changes in the signal-to-noise ratio (–20.5) dB. The direction-finding error of the proposed method decreases with increasing signal/noise according to a hyperbolic dependence. It is advisable to use the proposed direction-finding method when masking no more than two samples of the signal group

The results of applications of various methods for measuring the parameters of high-speed loading using a strain gauge, a fiber Bragg grating located on a metal measuring rod and an interferometer monitoring the movement of the free boundary of the end of the rod are presented. Numerical simulation confirmed the adequacy of the description of the shock-wave process according to experimental data and showed that, with the thickness of the adhesive layer fixing the fiber Bragg grating and the strain gauge on a dimensional rod up to 100 µm, the deformation parameters of the sensors correspond to the parameters of the stress–strain state of the rod. Experimentally, a good correspondence of the results of measuring the magnitude of the relative deformation at a pulse duration of 10–100 µs using sensors of various types is shown, and an estimate of the limit values of the measured values of the deformation wave parameters is given.

In this scientific work, the problem of studying the process of destruction of microorganisms in water by an Etro-03 device based on electric corona discharge is considered. In the research, a special Etro-03 ozonator device was developed for clearing water of biological pollutants. Testing of the installation was carried out in order to disinfect surface water in the Kapshagai reservoir. During the research, various harmful microorganisms were found in the composition of the primary water that did not meet the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). For example, coliphages, coli-indices, and the number of microbes in general came across in large numbers. During the technological process, various amounts of ozone (O3) were released into the water, the amount and effective economic indicators of which were determined. In the same way, the effective time of the decontamination process was determined. During the research process, an algorithm of theoretical calculations was developed, and a mathematical model was given to bring 1m³ of surface water as the indicator for which sanitary rules and norms are approved.

The work is devoted to the consideration of methods for determining the strain of objects using fiber Bragg gratings under a high-frequency vibration or pulsed mechanical action, which is difficult to perform using widespread methods and devices. The methods are based on numerical processing of the time dependence of the radiation power reflected from the fiber Bragg grating at various wavelengths, which makes it possible to measure strain parameters in a wide range of magnitude and frequencies. The efficiency of the proposed methods is demonstrated by numerical simulation. It is shown that it is possible to restore the strain dependence on time in the range $\pm 1000$ $\mathsf{\mu }\mathsf{ϵ}$ or more from simultaneously measured power dependencies reflected by the fiber Bragg grating using common fiber-optic components. The case of sequential registration of reflected radiation power at different wavelengths to determine the probability density of the distribution of the strain values is also considered. The results of signal processing obtained both by numerical simulation and experimentally for the case of a linear vibration are presented. The technical problems of using the proposed methods are discussed.

The object of the study is the methods of radio frequency resource management in stratospheric communication systems based on high altitude platform stations (HAPS). The problem addressed is the limited radio frequency spectrum, frequency overlap with fifth- and sixth-generation (5G/6G) networks, and the high probability of interference, which complicate efficient spectrum utilization and coordination. The obtained results indicate that within the frequency bands recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) — 21.4–22.0 GHz, 24.25–27.5 GHz, 47.2–47.5 GHz, and 47.9–48.2 GHz — the probability of interference reaches up to 70% in the 27.5–28.35 GHz band. By applying cognitive radio (CR) technology, interference levels decreased by 60%, and spectrum utilization efficiency increased by 35%. Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) improved spectrum efficiency by 30–45%, while spectrum sharing methods enhanced it by 40–60%. A brief explanation of the results shows that the proposed management approaches significantly increase the efficiency of radio frequency resource use and substantially reduce interference. For example, at a bandwidth of 100 MHz and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10, the channel capacity reached approximately 332 Mbps. The distinctive features of the results lie in the comprehensive use of modern technologies that effectively address spectrum scarcity and interference issues, ensuring compatibility of HAPS with existing terrestrial and satellite communication systems. The proposed approaches are suitable for implementation in international and national spectrum coordination and licensing frameworks aimed at expanding broadband connectivity in underserved regions
