simulation counts.
Propagated error of azimuth and elevation angle
from Monte Carlo simulation and partial derivative
based model are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5,
where boundary changes for calculation results of
Monte Carlo simulation are also given out. The
following conclusions can easily be drawn from
Figures: the calculated propagation error from
Monte Carlo simulation will tend to that of partial
derivative based error propagation model as
simulation counts increase; the calculated
propagation error from Monte Carlo simulation
always lie in confidence interval; values in
confidence interval tend to those calculated by
partial derivative based error propagation model
with increment of simulation counts. Obviously, the
calculated values from Monte Carlo simulation and
partial derivative based model take on consistency.
AS uncertainties always exist in Monte Carlo
simulation, and high precision system requires both
accuracy and consistency for calculation results. So,
the more simulation counts, the better calculation
results we can obtain from Monte Carlo method.
Above Figures show that under confidence level
99%, confidence interval gets short with increase of
simulation counts. That is upper and lower
boundaries of propagation error from Monte Carlo
simulation converge to partial derivative based
calculation value, which further demonstrates the
rationality and credibility of the built partial
derivative based error propagation model.
6 CONCLUSIONS
Although Monte Carlo method takes on good
operation, its calculation results have some
uncertainty. While precision requirement of system
under test is high, we need a propagated error
calculation result with good consistency and high
precision. So, thousands of simulating calculation is
impracticable. The partial derivative based error
propagation model built in this paper improves
computational efficiency under required error
propagation precision, whose rationality is validated
by Monte Carlo simulation.
In this paper, we studied a double-theodolites
based non-contact pointing direction measuring and
calculation method of space block, and built a partial
derivative based error propagation model. Also,
Monte Carlo statistical test method is used in error
propagation modelling, which also validates the
rationality of the established partial derivative based
error propagation model. The results show that the
partial derivative based model takes on high
credibility, which provides basis for further research
on calculated pointing direction error distribution of
space block. Thus, it can be used in high precision
directional testing of space block.
