Abstract: Satellite antennas are constructively shaped like an irradiator and a reflector. Satellite antennas with a single irradiator placed in the focus of one parabola operate at one frequency. Some satellite systems operate at two frequencies of different ranges. Is it possible for two irradiators working on a cross-band to work together on one reflector? In this case, a whole antenna structure is saved. The answer to the question is given in this article. Measurements and analysis of the results of three different irradiators were made in real conditions. For the high frequency, a standard low-noise converter is selected. For the low frequency three different beam constructions are selected. Measurements are made on a real Earth - Satellite - Earth track.

Abstract: The article shows the need for a systematic approach in the analysis and evaluation of the state of complex objects of various types. A systematic approach to the analysis of complex date objects the opportunity to find new ways to optimize the resources of these projects. The main goal of the system approach is physically implemented by a number of software tools. In the proposed work, as a tool for the implementation of the systems approach, it was proposed to use the methodology of functional modeling IDEF0. This approach allowed us to create a functional model of the object to determine the function of each element and at the same time visualize its structural features. Methodology IDEF0 is actively used for the analysis and design of technological processes. In this paper, the authors proposed using technology IDEF0 to describe and analyze the interaction of resources for such a complex object as the human body. There is a decomposition of several levels in this work. In the form of blocks presents the main functions of the simulated object. These functions are broken down (decomposed) into composite parts and presented in the form of more detailed diagrams. The situation continues until the object is described at the level of detail necessary to achieve the objectives of a particular study. The top level diagram provides the most general or abstract description of the functioning of the human body. This chart is followed by a series of diagrams that give a more detailed picture of the main subsystems of the body. Using decomposition, the human body was divided into main subsystems. A mathematical model is proposed for one of the subsystems of the organism. This model is tested for adequacy. And it can be used to describe the output of this subsystem from the state of homeostasis.

Abstract: Medical psychological diagnostics is a relatively new interdisciplinary branch of clinical psychology that has developed in recent years. It combines problems and objectives of at least two areas of knowledge and practice: psychological diagnostics and medicine. Measurement (as finding of measure, that is, the ratio of quantity and quality of an object) involves the use of different scales, at least, quantitative and qualitative, and the result is, as a rule, a quantitatively expressed value, even though the value is measured on the basis of qualitative ordinary scales. But it should be noted that in medicine, primarily in psychiatry and clinical psychology, there are no scales of their own, and classical metrological scales are borrowed. Thus, the question arises about the correctness and permissibility of transformations of results obtained by indirect measurements using such scales. The problems and questions raised in this publication reflect only part of the difficulties that arise in medical psychodiagnostics as an industry that deals with measurement of non-physical quantities, alienated products of brain activity and do not cover even deeper phenomena.

Abstract: In recent years science needs to embrace digitization as one of the methods of reproduction of scientific knowledge. Thus emerges the question about the possibility of using nonphysical quantities and related psychological phenomena. Methods of mathematical modelling are at the basis of digitization, they are employed to describe certain phenomena, to analyze and forecast the changes within them. The success and priority of the creation of mathematical models is additionally justified by the inherent strict elegance, which also makes it possible to obtain completely unexpected solutions based on statistics processed with specified algorithms. “Research conducted by mathematicians represents beautiful and elegant abstract mathematical systems. It is art, which way of expression is using ideas.” However, the problem of data mining in measurement of psychological phenomena, as well as principles and rules of their analysis (for developing adequate mathematical models) are under-represented in the most of scientific researches.

Abstract: The article suggests the use of a systematic approach in management by using well-known management schools and areas of achievement at the same time. The article touches on the essence of the concept of synergy, and that synergy exists only in such a system that performs its functions. On its basis, a hypothesis has been proposed for identifying synergy, and in the processes themselves a systematic approach has been proposed to identify phenomena such as synergy. It is proposed that the source of synergy might be “entropy”. The author of the article indicates that processes take place in any activity of a human beings and society, such as the humanities, social and economic sciences, which implies the existence of entropy, which is very similar to the theory of transactions and transaction costs. This approach is necessary for the application of budgeting and financial relations for individual entities and as well as the whole state.

Abstract: The paper presents a research into the concept of digital twins based on a virtual prototype and the advantages it has. Also presented are the inner workings of the digital twin method and the possible algorithms for implementing it in the manufacturing workflow. Additionally, software products that take care of that process by guiding the user and helping them to implement the vast quantities of data and the sensor data acquisition the needed components from the Internet of Things methodology. Presented are the summarized advantages and reasons for implementing the digital twin methodology.
