Broadband signal processing is important for interpreting signals received from active sonar transmissions. The traditional approach to processing broadband signals in the sonar literature is to assume a harrowband condition that Justifies the use of narrowband signal processing. RTcently there has been renewed interest in avoiding the narrowband assumption and in actually using techniques th ...

This small business innovative research phase I project from Sagent Corporation addresses the need to develop and demonstrate high-performance nonlinear, adaptive, and hybrid systems cdontrol technology for precision multi-target, multi-platform fire-on-the-move applications including armor, air defense and aircraft system applications. Reliance on incremental improvements in linear, fixed-point ...

Dense, high-performance electronic systems employ advanced substrate materials, such as ceramics, for maximum heat dissipation. During the fabrication of these ceramic packages various thick-film and thin-film materials are bonded to the substrate and subsequently serve as circuit paths and attachment points for the integrated circuit die. Rapid, high-resolution bond integrity measurements must ...

A one degree of freedom high-frequency aerodynamic bearing-balance will be developed for force, moment, and orientation measurements under non-steady-state flight conditions. A cylindrical bearing-balance three inches in diameter using displacement sensing will be considered as the best candidate for the design. To satisfy the requirement for achieving a natural frequency of 800Hz, the balance m ...

The proposed effort develops a novel laser geometry using a new solid state laser material with the objective of providing very high power capability with superlative beam quality and efficiency for BMD0 tracking, laser imaging, and ultimately directed energy weapons potential. The material, Yb:S-FAP, has been shown to have excellent efficiency potential and uses fewer diode pumping bars compared ...
