    Abstract: Anti-jamming techniques are provided for RF receivers, such as those that operate in hostile environments. In some embodiments, the techniques are embodied in an anti-jam communications system configured with automatic gain control (AGC) that is complementary. The system includes a first AGC circuit prior to an interference suppression circuit and a second AGC circuit after the interference suppression circuit. The first AGC circuit operates to adjust the power level presented to the interference suppression circuit to facilitate interference cancellation. The second AGC circuit operates to maintain the original power level of the desired communications signal and prevent amplitude errors as the first AGC circuit responds to fluctuations in jammer signal power. The second AGC can be slaved to the first AGC circuit such that the sum of two gain values is held constant, according to some embodiments. In this manner, the first and second AGC circuits provide a complementary-AGC system.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for self-configuration of a sensor array. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes deploying a number of mobile sensor elements from a base unit to a region of interest. The method also includes transmitting an initial sensor configuration plan from the base unit to the sensor elements. The mobile sensor elements navigate to a calculated location based on the initial sensor configuration plan. Sensor data is collected by each of the elements and transmitted back to the base unit for data integration. The method further includes performing, by the base unit, a response analysis using the integrated sensor data and updating the initial sensor configuration plan based on a metric associated with the response analysis. The method further includes iterating these operations to employ the updated sensor configuration plan. Additional iterations are performed until the metric reaches a selected threshold value.
