    摘要: A receiver for carrier frequency estimation via symbol rate estimation in the presence of carrier frequency error for use in signal acquisition and signal demodulation of spread-spectrum chips affected by Doppler shift in an advanced tactical data link. Received LPD signals with a very low signal-to-noise ratio are input to a receiver designed to tolerate carrier frequency error caused by Doppler shift. Extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and short dwell times due to spread spectrum modulation and frequency-hopping make direct estimation of carrier frequency impractical. A method and apparatus is disclosed to use the error is symbol rate, the nominal carrier frequency, and the nominal transmitted symbol rate to estimate carrier frequency error. This enables longer coherent integration times and improves LPD receiver performance.

    摘要: An architecture for a spread-spectrum transmitter-receiver system in an advanced tactical data link that allows the receiver to readily acquire and synchronize to a desired LPD signal. Signal acquisition is performed with a cyclic range search that uses multiple redundant known sequences mapped to a known message sequence in a highly repeated manner. By employing the invariance of the speed of light, and synchronicity between transmitter and receiver, the architecture can significantly reduce the computational complexity of the receiver. Additionally, the architecture enables ad hoc channel access, controlled latency, distance estimation, and distance-directed transmissions.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for signal acquisition with transmit blanking compensation compensates for collisions between a desired received signal and a transmitted signal. A blanking block blanks a received signal when the transmitted signal is transmitted and stops blanking when the transmitted signal stops to provide a received signal with blanking. A correlation block correlates the received signal with blanking with a known sequence of symbols corresponding to the desired received signal and outputs a correlation metric and a number of symbols blanked. Means for adjusting the correlation metric or a variable threshold using the number of symbols blanked are provided. A decision block compares the adjusted correlation metric to a fixed threshold or the correlation metric to the variable threshold. If the adjusted correlation metric exceeds the threshold or if the correlation metric exceeds the variable threshold, the decision block determines that the desired signal is detected.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for providing directional spectral awareness via an antenna system which includes a single parasitic antenna and a processor, the processor being communicatively coupled with the parasitic antenna. The antenna system allows for quick scanning of all sectors included in a plurality of sectors of an RF environment being monitored by the antenna system. The antenna system also allows for monitoring sectors of interest. The directionality of the parasitic antenna of the antenna system may reduce interference and multipath along with providing improved SNR due to antenna gain, thereby allowing for collection of signals of interest in a more favorable environment, thereby enabling analysis such as frequency and spatial use, signal detection, signal identification, and source geolocation to succeed when it may have failed if an omni-directional antenna were used.

    摘要: A method, a device, and a system for reconfiguring communication transmission characteristics in response to a changing communication environment is provided. An environment at a communication device is characterized to determine if a transmission parameter associated with processing of a communication signal at a physical layer or a network interface layer should change based on current conditions at the communication device. If a need is identified, a second transmission parameter is selected based on the environment monitoring. A request identifying the second transmission parameter is sent to a manager device using an existing communication link. A response from the manager device is received indicating acceptance or rejection of use of the second transmission parameter in communicating with a second communication device. If the response indicates acceptance of use of the second transmission parameter, the physical layer and/or the network interface layer are reconfigured based on the selected second transmission parameter.

    摘要: A follower aircraft is guided to a lead aircraft using a datalink that determines range between the two. The lead aircraft has an antenna array and processing system for determining azimuth/elevation of the follower aircraft. The lead aircraft transmits a ranging message to the follower aircraft and stores a lead aircraft time of transmit (TOT) time. The ranging message is received at the follower aircraft and a follower aircraft time of reception (TOR) time is stored. A second ranging message is transmitted from the follower aircraft to the lead aircraft and a follower aircraft TOT time is stored. The second ranging message is received at the lead aircraft and a lead aircraft TOR is stored. A message is sent from the follower aircraft when follower aircraft TOT and TOR. The range and time offset is determined by the lead aircraft using follower aircraft TOT/TOR and stored lead aircraft TOT/TOR.

    摘要: A method of correlating a signal to a synchronization pattern is disclosed. The signal has a waveform with frequency and phase angle components that may be varied, at each repeated signal pulse, to communicate a change in a bit pattern of the signal. A synchronization pattern is generated using knowledge of phase rotation direction due to two consecutive bits in a synchronization key. The signal is compared with the synchronization pattern. It is determined whether the comparison of the signal and the synchronization pattern indicate a correlation between the signal and the synchronization pattern.
