Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring air speed which solve the problem of icing or blockage by creating an exterior surface on an aircraft that channels air and measures the pressure difference of the pressure through the airflow and the static pressure. This exterior surface cannot be blocked easily because air is always flowing when the aircraft is in motion, any external matter that could be on the exterior surface is readily visible, and the exterior surface can be heated to prevent icing. In addition, the exterior surface is made of a flexible material that is able to conform closely to the exterior shape of the aircraft. The preferred embodiments comprise microelectromechanical system pressure sensors placed under the air channels for measuring the pressure difference in each channel and an air speed processor for transforming the pressure differences into an air speed estimate.

Abstract: A non-contact biometric sensing device is described. The device includes a processing device, a user interface communicatively coupled to the processing device, a display communicatively coupled to the processing device, a laser doppler vibrometer sensor communicatively coupled to the processing device, and an infrared camera communicatively coupled to the processing device. The processing device is programmed to utilize mechanical motion data received from the laser doppler vibrometer sensor and thermal distributions data from the infrared camera to calculate biometric data, when signals originating from the laser doppler vibrometer sensor and the infrared camera are reflected back towards the device from a target.

Abstract: A receiver includes an antenna block configured to transduce impinging electromagnetic signals into electrical signals; a signal conditioning block configured to condition electrical signals received from the antenna block; and a down-converter block configured to down-convert conditioned electrical signals received from the signal conditioning block. The down-converter block comprises a plurality of signal channels. The receiver further includes a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) respectively connected to the signal channels of the down-converter block; and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA is configured to program the down-converter block by selecting a set of mixer frequencies and a set of bandwidths designed to remove interference signals in each signal channel. The selections are calculated to mitigate reductions in dynamic range in the ADCs due to interference. The FPGA is further configured to process digital signals received from the ADCs after the down-converter block has removed the interference signals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a frequency comb. A sine wave comprising samples is generated at a selected sampling rate and a selected increment corresponding to a number of samples for a period of the sine wave using a lookup table or a CORDIC algorithm. The sine wave is processed by a universal differential equation to generate the frequency comb. Characteristics of the frequency comb generated from the sine wave are controlled by changing the sampling rate and the increment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for direct signal down-conversion and decimation in a digital receiver. The digital receiver produces a decimated passband version of the signal without the problems associated with use of digital mixers. The digital receiver includes a passband-to-passband decimator/down-converter that implements an algorithm which takes the signal band (frequency and bandwidth or lower and upper frequencies) where a signal is present and produces a decimation rate and phase for use by a low-pass mixer-free down-conversion. The digital receiver technology may be efficiently implemented on a digital signal processor or field-programmable gate array.

Abstract: Systems and methods which use adjunct signals from a remote highly stable clock to enhance performance of a digital wideband receiver equipped with a less stable local clock system. The digital wideband receiver includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an adjunct receiver system connected to the output of the ADC. The adjunct receiver system includes matched filters and circuitry configured to generate an interpolation coefficient vector based on the matched filter outputs. The adjunct receiver system further includes an interpolating filter which is configured to remove jitter from the digitized samples output by the ADC using the interpolation coefficient vector.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating frequency and bandwidth of unknown signals using learned features of a filter pair for the purpose of detecting, separating and tracking these signals in an electronic receiver. The techniques could be part of a signal cueing system that initiates signal detection, separation and tracking or a signal separation and tracking system which is initialized by the cueing system and adaptively updates frequency and bandwidth estimates so as to continuously separate and track signals after initial detection. The methodology is to train the filter responses using machine learning by creating a grid of training data based on signal examples that cover a span of frequencies and bandwidths. The system estimates frequency and bandwidth in real time, inputs those estimates into interpolating lookup tables to retrieve filter coefficients, and provides those filter coefficients to a tunable tracking filter.

Abstract: A signal power detection method is fused with a double-difference phase modulation detection method to provide a higher-performance method of pulse detection for any digital receiver. The first pulse detection technique uses a signal power threshold. When the square of the magnitude of a pulse crosses the signal power threshold, the beginning of a pulse is declared and pulse processing starts. The second pulse detection technique is model based and uses a windowed detector that crosses a phase difference threshold when the pulse has consistent second-order (in general d-th order) difference phase values within the window. The first technique has low latency and is independent of pulse width, but only operates well at SNR values greater than 15 dB. The second technique has higher latency and requires a minimum pulse width, but operates at lower (approximately 0 dB) SNR values.

Abstract: A universal nonlinear variable delay filter includes a first mixer configured to convert an input signal to an up-converted signal including a frequency corresponding to a selected time delay. The input signal includes an original frequency. The variable delay filter also includes a nonlinear filter that filters the up-converted signal and generates a delayed signal that is delayed by the selected time delay. The variable delay filter further includes a second mixer configured to convert the delayed signal to a down-converted signal including a frequency substantially equal to the original frequency.
