We propose a radically innovative approach to the problem of multiple access communication which promises to revolutionize the modern communication industry by dramatically increasing network throughput. Our approach is based upon two major novel components: (i) hybrid time-frequency allication of communication channel resources, and(ii) non-orthogonal, i.e., overlaping, multiplexed signals. Toge ...

Investment castings have well served both the military and commercial markets in such areas as waveguides and splitters for microwave applications, and for connectors, housings, heat sinks and mechanical parts for electronics, optical, instrumentation, and medical devices. Tomorrow's higher RF millimeter wave and communications electronics products, and more compact optical, instrumentation and m ...

During the proposed phase I research program, Brimrose will develop and produce an improved material for optical power limiting to protect against jamming and build a prototype of this device. Using vanadium doped zinc telluride, we will fabricate an electro-optic power limiter (EOPL) that operates at visible wavelengths. The approach of using a doped II-VI semiconductor for power limiting was p ...

Enig Associates, Inc. will conduct an analysis that will conclude with the preliminary design of an aimable prototype MAHEM warhead for an AAM/SAM. The prototype will be designed to produce metal ejecta with energy and/or velocity well in excess of the capabilities of a conventional munition of equivalent size and/or weight. Phase I involves a series of iterative flow calculations for the design ...

A novel method for preparing carbon electrode structures having applications in electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) is described. The method for preparing these structures employs carbon (graphite) nano fiber materials and results in an electrode having both high surface area and high electronic conductivity; two essential characteristics for EDLC electrodes. The fabrication process ...
