Abstract: A phase detection system includes first and second phase mixing circuits in signal communication with a signal phase adjuster module. The first mixing circuit generates a first digital modulated frequency signal based on an input signal and a first reference phase signal. The second mixing circuit generates a second digital modulated frequency signal based on the input signal and a second reference phase signal, which phase shifted with respect to the first reference phase signal. The phase detection system further includes a phase identification (ID) module in signal communication with the first mixing circuit and the second mixing circuit. The phase ID module generates a phase signal based on the first digital modulated frequency signal and the second digital modulated frequency signal. The phase signal indicates a phase of the input signal.

Abstract: Technology for performing magnetic field gradient measurements is described. The magnetic field gradient measurements for specific positions on the Earth can be performed from a moving platform. The magnetic field gradient measurements can be identified as being affected by a level of error that exceeds a defined threshold. A correction value can be generated to compensate for the error in the magnetic field gradient measurements. The correction value can be applied to the magnetic field gradient measurements in order to obtain magnetic field gradient measurements with a reduced level of error.

Abstract: Technology for determining a geographical location is described. A sequence of magnetic field gradient measurements can be identified for specific positions on the Earth that correspond to a path traveled by a moving platform. The sequence of magnetic field gradient measurements for the path can be compared to a reference magnetic field gradient map. A trajectory derived from the reference magnetic field gradient map that correlates to the sequence of magnetic field gradient measurements can be identified. The trajectory can have known geographical coordinates. The geographical location of the moving platform can be determined based on the known geographical coordinates of the trajectory.

Abstract: A phased array radar configured to transmit two or more slightly misaligned beams, for improved angular resolution. The transmitting array is split into two or more subarrays that transmit slightly misaligned beams that may have a common carrier frequency and each of which has a different modulation. Each subarray may include alternate elements in the rows of the transmitting array, and alternate elements in the columns of the transmitting array. The width of each transmitted beam may be greater than or comparable to the diffraction-limited width, but the region in which the beams overlap may be significantly narrower than any of the transmitted beams. The reflected beam from a target contains one or more of the modulations of the transmitted beams, in proportions depending on the location of the target, and the extent to which it is illuminated by each beam. The receiving array is phased to maximize the signal from the region in which the beams overlap.

Abstract: A communication system and a method of fabricating a communication system are described. The communication system includes a transmit antenna including two or more symmetric coils wound around a closed-loop magnetic transmitter core, the transmit antenna configured to transmit an outgoing signal of very low frequency (VLF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy. The communication system also includes a receive antenna including two or more coils formed from two or more wires wound around a closed-loop magnetic receiver core, the receive antenna configured to receive transmitted VLF or ULF energy as an incoming signal. The communication system also includes a processor to process the outgoing signal and the incoming signal.

Abstract: A radar system for detecting stealth vehicles, e.g., stealth aircraft. Relatively long-wavelength very high frequency (VHF) or ultra high frequency (UHF) radar radiation is used to reduce the ability of the stealth vehicle to direct the reflected radar radiation away from the radar receiver. The radar is operated with two or more transmitting beams. The beams are separately modulated and misaligned relative to each other. When the stealth vehicle is nearer to a first beam than to a second beam of the transmitting beams, the vehicle reflects more of the first beam radar radiation, and more of the corresponding modulation, back toward the receiver. The receiver measures the magnitudes of the modulations in the reflected radar radiation and infers, from the difference between these magnitudes, the direction to the stealth vehicle.

Abstract: Technology for measuring orientation is described. Signals can be received from a signal source having a known location via at least two antennas of the interferometer that are separated by a predefined distance. A delay between receiving the signals from the signal source at the at least two antennas of the interferometer can be calculated. A line of bearing (LOB) of the interferometer with respect to the signal source can be determined based on the delay between receiving the signals at the at least two antennas from the signal source. The orientation of the interferometer can be measured in a global coordinate system using the LOB of the interferometer with respect to the signal source.
