The proposed spread-spectrum detection and parameter estimation technique, the spectral correlation discriminator (scd), provides a means of processing wide-band spread-spectrum signals corrupted by cochannel interference. the scd discriminates against interfering signals that do not exhibit certain… More

An sbir project is proposed here to develop novel techniques for directive/retrodirective communications, by using blind adaptation algorithms to adjust the array weight on the receive/transmit paths of a communication system. the proposed processor has the capability to automatically extract… More

The objective of this sbir project is to identify the means to substanitally reduce the size and weight of the alq-170 electronics package while improving threat signal fidelity and adding versatility. the initial effort consists of a study to baseline the current performance of the alq-170 and its… More

Fleet training exercises utilizing the airborne, missile threat simulator pod, ast-6, can be materially improved by the addition of an ecm response monitor in the pod. this monitor will record the ecm respone of the target and the tactics of ecm utilization for subsequent download and debriefing.… More

The proposed integrated single fiber optic transceiver (isfot) will provide avionics designers with a packaged solution for using fiber optics. the isfot will also provide the designer with detailed information regarding the state of the optical fiber link, and bit information to identify any… More

This sbir project examines a new and innovative method of implementing a receiver that has superior performance over that of conventional receivers in rejecting interference. the improved interference rejection allows the transmitter to use less power to achieve the required bit-error rate… More
