Abstract:
A method for estimating the noise of a two-photon entangled state, including generating pairs of photons; for each pair of photons, defining a first polarization measurement, associated with a first angle, and defining a second polarization measurement, associated with a second angle. The method includes generating a first string of polarization measurements and a first string of angles; generating a second string of polarization measurements and a second string of angles; generating a first uncorrelated substring, formed by the polarization measurements of the first string associated with angles that are different from the corresponding angles of the second string of angles; generating a second uncorrelated substring, formed by the polarization measurements of the second string associated with angles that are different from the corresponding angles of the first string of angles; and determining an estimate of the noise on the basis of the first and the second uncorrelated substrings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an IF receiver that is able to solve the image band problem and, in particular, to reject any interfering signals so as to ensure correct demodulation of a received useful signal without having to interrupt the reception service. The receiver comprises a monitoring branch configured to monitor interference experienced at a plurality of intermediate frequencies usable in reception and select the intermediate reception frequency from the intermediate frequencies usable in reception on the basis of the interference monitoring carried out. Moreover, the monitoring unit is configured to carry out real-time monitoring of interference experienced at the currently used intermediate reception frequency and also at the other intermediate frequencies usable in reception and change, in real time, the used intermediate reception frequency on the basis of the real-time interference monitoring.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device in the domain of AESA (“Active Electronically Scanned Array”) systems required for e.g. radar multifunctional systems with communication capabilities and electronic/analysis countermeasures, providing a constructive element for the realization of modular active radiating panels, which are economic and scalable depending on the system needs, to be used on multi-roles and multi-domains platforms. The architecture according to the invention presents a so-called “tile” architecture and uses a multilayer configuration incorporating the radiating elements, the control and supply controls, the transmitting/receiving (T/R) modules, the cooling system by using vertical interconnections, having a low cost and high integration.

A SAR apparatus including: a radar transceiver to emit electromagnetic pukes and to provide a radar signal in response to echoes of the electromagnetic pukes; and a processing unit, configured to produce SAR images of moving objects from the radar signal. The processing unit includes: a first processing; module to apply translational motion compensation to a central reference point of a moving object in a subaperture of the radar signal; a second processing module, to execute phase compensation with the single central reference point as reference; and a third processing module to apply phase compensation to the radar signal as a function of an estimated phase component the auxiliary point and of a normalization parameter to a distance in range between the central reference point and the auxiliary point.
Abstract:
A system comprising: a SIP Proxy Server, and DMR Gateway(s) to interface the SIP Proxy Server with DMR Network(s) matching Private/professional Mobile Radio (PMR) features; each DMR Gateway is univocally assigned with a SIP ID and is designed to: interpret messages from the SIP Proxy Server to manage DMR signalling/data/voice features toward DMR Terminals, and initiate DMR features on account of DMR Terminals operating under it and make requests for DMR signalling/data/voice features toward destinations belonging to another Network; each DMR Gateway is designed to: transcode an over-the-air, manufacturer-specific DMR Terminal registration into a SIP REGISTER message to result in the SIP Proxy server perceiving and managing the DMR Terminal as a SIP User Agent; the SIP Proxy Server is designed to manage: DMR signalling features, including voice call set-up, and DMR data features using the SIP MESSAGE method, and/or DMR signalling/data/voice group features.
Abstract:
A communication method of the SMF type for a network of nodes including a multicast group. The method includes the steps, performed by a first node, of: determining a set of respective multipoint relays; determining the nodes for which the first node is a multipoint relay; determining a routing table including identifiers of destination nodes and corresponding identifiers of next-hop nodes; receiving a multicast packet sent from a sending node, where the first node is a multipoint relay; checking if, for each node identifier of the multicast group, the entry in the routing table that includes a destination node identifier corresponding to the node identifier of the multicast group contains a next-hop node identifier that corresponds to the sending node, and if the counter contained in the multicast packet respects a relation with a limit; and determining whether to retransmit the multicast packet, on the basis of the outcome of the checking step.

Abstract:
A method of data transmission is between nodes of a MANET communications network on a high-frequency radio channel shared by division of the access time. Each network node is assigned a transmission time slot in a transmission frame, and at least one auxiliary transmission slot is provided and is accessible by a node that has detected the occupation of the radio channel in the time slot assigned to it. Each node is arranged for determining a local time reference for the calculation of the corresponding transmission slot and access to the radio channel, and includes receiving a positioning signal from a geographical positioning system equipping the node, and determining a universal reference time therefrom.
Abstract:
A continuous scanning module is described, comprising: a polygonal scanning drum (9) rotating at substantially constant speed (f9) and provided with a plurality of first reflecting side faces (9.1-9.7) and at least one polygonal forward motion compensation-forward motion compensation drum (15) rotating synchronously with the scanning drum (9). The forward motion compensation drum (15) is provided with second reflecting side faces (15.1-15.7)) each of which receives an image from a corresponding first reflecting face of the scanning drum, and reflects it towards a scanning path.
