The use of advanced computer-aided design (CAD software in conjunction with graphics workstation hardware can significantly enhance the utility of computer programs written to perform analysis of electromagnetic (EM) problems, Many of these EM analysis codes predate the development and general… More

ARCON Corporation proposes a number of cost-effective improvements for measuring low RCS targets on the USAF RATSCAT RCS measurement ranges. These improvements include hardware modifications and intelligent adaptive software to improve measurement accuracy while controlling costs by keeping most of… More

The proposed study considers the translation between speech vocoders of both wave form and parametric types. Transcoding and tandem methods of translation are proposed for the various codec pairs. The special case of multi-user conferencing scenarious with a variety of different codecs is… More

A set of vocoder translation methods will be developed for use in voice communications applications where different vocoder algorithms are being used across the application. The translation methods will provide reduced complexity and increased performance from that of digital tandem approach. The… More

ARCON Corporation, in collaboration with The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory, proposes to develop a genetic algorithm (GA) that places multiple antennas and/or arrays on a platform in order to optimize the radiation pattern objectives and spectrum co-utilization. We will… More

The objective of this project is to design and demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative physical layer enhanced information fusion approach for real-time detection of air-to-air and ground-to-air spoofed ADS-B reports. The main components of our innovative system include: (1) physical layer… More
