    摘要: The present invention provides an adaptive, intelligent transform based Analog to Information Converter (AIC) for wideband signals by directly converting an analog signal to information (e.g., features, decisions). This direct conversion is achieved by (i) capturing most of the information of a wideband signal via hardware/software implemented mathematical transformations, (ii) effectively removing unwanted signals such as jammer and interfere from the input signal, and (iii) using novel algorithms for highly accurate decision making and feature extraction (e.g., high probability of detection with low probability of false alarm). The jump in the improvement over today's state-of-the-art is in terms of effective and optimum signal information extraction at high-speed.

    摘要: A positive current source (PCS) for supplying common mode current. The PCS includes a pair of unity gain inverting single ended amplifiers that are connected in antiparallel across a pair of matched resistors. Alternately, the resistors can be connected across the inverting and non-inverting sides of a differential amplifier. A constant voltage is applied across the resistors to supply the common mode current (I.sub.cm) while maintaining a common mode resistance of R/2 and a differential mode resistance approaching infinity. The PCS has a common mode resistance which is small enough to maintain a stable common mode operating point with process variations providing minimal impact.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for digital-to-analog conversion utilizing randomized dynamic element matching for the attenuation of harmonic distortion during the conversion process due to non-ideal circuit behavior is presented. The present invention introduces a new DEM approach that results in a simplified DAC architecture relative to previous DACs, while preserving optimal spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). The particular topology utilized involves the use of a bank of DAC-elements, preferably 1-bit DAC elements, the outputs of which are summed to yield a single multiple-level DAC. During each conversion cycle, random selection is used to determine the addresses of the DAC-elements used in order to “scramble” the DAC noise arising from each individual 1-bit DAC.

    摘要: A circuit for generating chaotic signals implemented using heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) and utilized in low probability intercept communications. The HBT chaotic circuit generates truly random analog signals in the GHz range that are non-repeating and deterministic and may not be replicated by preloading a predetermined sequence. A fully differential autonomous chaotic circuit outputs two pairs of chaotic signals to be used in a communication system. As it is impossible to generate identical chaotic signals at the transmitter and receiver sites, the receiver itself sends the chaotic signal to be used for encoding to the transmitter. The receiver includes a chaotic signal generator and digitizes, upconverts, and transmits the generated chaotic signal to the transmitter. The transmitter uses the received chaotic signal to code data to be transmitted. The receiver decodes the transmitted data that is encoded by the chaotic signal to retrieve the transmitted data.
