    摘要: Methods and apparatus for synchronization (SYNC) detection of a received serial offset quadrature pulse shaped waveform modulated by a symbol SYNC sequence are provided. The waveform is serially demodulated into a serial baseband signal and correlated in parallel with segments of the symbol SYNC sequence. Correlation strength estimates of each of the correlated output signals are computed and used to adjust a SYNC threshold level. The correlation strength estimates or the correlated output signals are combined and a peak is determined in the resulting signal. The peak in the resulting signal is compared to the SYNC threshold level to detect synchronization.

    摘要: Enhanced reception in a communication system is achieved by applying a time domain generated time-reversed channel response to signals transmitted from a group of transmitter to a group of receivers. The time-reversed channel response is generated from a radio frequency channel response derived from signals previously received from the group of receivers, but reversed in the time domain. The time-reversed channel response is convolved with an information signal that when transmitted in a coordinated fashion from the group of transmitters, the signals arrive at each receiver in the group of distant receiving communication devices at approximately the same time where the signals coherently combine, thereby increasing signal power at the receivers. This permits detection at a greater range or with a lower bit error rate. In addition, the many-to-many configuration enables signal power from each transmitter to be focused temporarily and spatially on each receiver.

    摘要: A processor calculates a safe landing zone for an aircraft. The processor executes the following steps: (a) converting 4D point cloud data into Cartesian coordinates to form a height map of a region; (b) segmenting the height map to form boundaries of an object in the region; and (c) determining maximum height within the boundaries of the object. Also included are (d) determining if the maximum height is greater than a predetermined height to form a vertical obstruction (VO) in the region; and (e) determining if the VO is in the line of sight (LOS) of the aircraft to classify the landing zone as safe or unsafe. The processor further includes the steps of: (f) forming a slope map over the height map, in which a slope of a pixel is based on 4-neighbors of the pixel of interest, and (g) determining roughness over the height map.
