Abstract: A panoramic Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) lens has a plurality of optical elements, wherein each optical element from the plurality of elements is formed from a material that transmits in at least the MWIR band from 3 μm to 5 μm. The plurality of optical element are arranged in a manner that provides a 360 degree azimuth angle and an elevation angle that is within +/−20° from a 90° horizon. The panoramic MWIR lens is configured to be connected to a cooled Dewar, wherein the Dewar includes a cold shield and an image plane to detect light in the MWIR band transmitted through the plurality of optical elements.

Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of islands of first material on a plurality of first sections of a layer. A plurality of second sections of the layer are not covered by the first material. The method further includes depositing a second material on (i) the islands of first material and (ii) the second sections of the layer that are not covered by the islands of first material. The method further includes evaporating and/or sublimating the islands of first material and removing remnants of the second material that were on the islands of the first material. In an example, the second material remains on the second sections of the layer, to thereby form a pattern of the second material on the layer. In an example, the first material is a monomer, and the second material is a conductor or a dielectric or a semiconductor.

Abstract: A method of enhanced processing used to discriminate between ADS-B messages with a duplicate announced address comprising: receiving ADS-B messages that comprise information for display by a display of traffic information from at least two targets on a receiver; identifying the ADS-B messages having the duplicate announced address with one of the at least two targets using at least one discriminator by assigning a weighting factor to the at least one discriminator and, where the integration of the at least one discriminator and weighting factor exceeds a predetermined threshold value, considering the ADS-B messages that were subject to the at least one discriminator as being discriminated messages associated with one of the at least two targets; and displaying information provided by the discriminated messages on a display of traffic information as if the discriminated messages had been initially associated with only one of the at least two targets.

Abstract: A low profile, broadband radiator operates as a dielectric rod antenna (DRA) but is conformally mounted to a conducting sheet along its axis of symmetry. The new device exploits the imaging theory of electromagnetics to split the DRA in half while maintaining its full-height TEM feed, HE11 waveguide, and radiation taper characteristics. The disclosed device is attractive for applications requiring directed energy on or near the axis of the antenna, i.e. ‘end-fire’, and for high shock and velocity environments. Bandwidth extension is realized by adding one or more cores of higher dielectric material and by modifying the feed and mode formation regions. A second polarization is generated by configuring the feed for odd-mode transmission and creating a flared notch radiator within a metallized split launcher.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a low F-number precision variable-focus telescope that includes a telescope housing containing an optical system. There is a first temperature sensing device to detect a temperature of the telescope housing, a second temperature sensing device to detect an ambient temperature around the telescope housing, and a pressure sensing device to detect ambient pressure around the telescope housing. A controller is in operative communication with the first temperature-sensing device, the second temperature sensing device, and the pressure sensing device. The control regulates the heater to maintain the telescope at a desired temperature to achieve diffraction limited performance in response to signals from the first temperature-sensing device, the second temperature sensing device, and the pressure sensing device.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for estimation of relative velocity between a receiver platform and a transmitter platform. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes measuring a first time of arrival, a first phase, and a frequency of a first radar pulse received from the transmitter platform. The method also includes measuring a second time of arrival and a second phase of a second radar pulse received from the transmitter platform. The method further includes calculating a relative velocity between the receiver platform and the transmitter platform based on a difference between the first time of arrival and the second time of arrival, a difference between the first phase and the second phase, and the frequency. The method further includes calculating an angle of arrival of the first and second received radar pulses based on a ratio of the calculated relative velocity to a velocity of the receiver platform.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a lower plate, an upper plate above the lower plate, and a plurality of vias extending from the lower plate to the upper plate. The lower plate, the upper plate, and the plurality of vias include conductive material. A post including conductive material extends from the lower plate and towards the upper plate. An inner plate including conductive material is above and in contact with the post, where the post and the inner plate are separated from the upper plate by dielectric material. The plurality of vias are arranged to at least in part wrap around the post. A signal line extends between the lower and upper plates and at least in part wraps around the post, where the signal line extends through an opening between a first via and a second via of the plurality of vias. In an example, the apparatus is a resonator structure.

Abstract: A transceiver unit includes an enclosure, a first input port, a second input port, a first output port, and a second output port. A radio frequency (RF) pass-through path is within the enclosure between the first input port and the first output port and includes a gain module. The RF pass-through path is configured to receive a first RF signal at the first input port and to transmit a second RF signal at the first output port. The gain module is configured to amplify the first RF signal to produce the second RF signal. The transceiver unit further includes a transceiver path within the enclosure between the second input port and the second output port, the transceiver path including a signal processor.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing a carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber in solid-phase micro extraction. Optically pumping the carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber, as compared to using thermal desorption, enhances performance of the system. CDC provides for a broad based sorbent that is insensitive to high humidity. Optical pumping may be done axially or radially on a modified gas chromatography needle. In some cases, staged, or pulsed, optical pumping is used to drive off solvent or other lower boiling compounds first and then the desorption of the remaining analytes is cleaner and the instrumentation is less likely to be overloaded.
