    摘要: Under one aspect, a method is provided for processing a received signal, the received signal including a desired signal and an interference signal that spectrally overlaps the desired signal. The method can include obtaining an amplitude of the received signal. The method also can include obtaining an average amplitude of the received signal based on at least one prior amplitude of the received signal. The method also can include subtracting the amplitude from the average amplitude to obtain an amplitude residual. The method also can include, based upon an absolute value of the amplitude residual being less than or equal to a first threshold, inputting the received signal into an interference suppression algorithm so as to generate a first output including the desired signal with reduced contribution from the interference signal.

    摘要: A method for automating system identification includes performing a system identification experiment, and performing a system identifying processing by fitting a model to data from the system identification experiment. The method also includes performing model reduction to generate a model numerically suitable for controller synthesis by removing inconsequential states that cause controller optimization methods to fail. The method further includes performing control synthesis using the generated model or reduced models, including disturbance spectrum estimates, to generate a candidate controller design to be used during system operation. The method also includes checking for controller robustness using the identified model to ensure stability of the system while maximizing closed-loop bandwidth and performance.

    摘要: System and methods are disclosed that comprise receiving at least one signal via a receiver. The at least one signal is extracted for data via a processor coupled to the receiver, wherein the data includes at least one message and a set of parameters related to the message. A signal output is generated using the at least one message and the set of parameters such that the signal output includes a first portion and a second portion. At least one error is identified in the signal output and corrected using the first portion and the second portion. An output is generated that is used to perform at least one task related to the at least one signal.

    摘要: Machine learning models are provided that consider, during the process of producing output, various aspects of the training data and/or training process from which the models are created. A machine learning model may generate output (e.g., classification determinations or regression output) that is augmented with information regarding the distribution(s) of the corpus of training data upon which the model was trained, the features extracted from the training data, the resulting determinations made by the model, and/or other information. The augmentation may occur internally while generating the model output, or the output itself may be augmented to include distribution-based data in addition to a model output.

    摘要: A method for performing an operation on an input signal includes receiving, by a multi-mode waveguide, the input signal imposed on laser light. The received input signal imposed on the laser light is propagated through the waveguide a plurality of times in a plurality of modes, the modes interfering each time they propagate through the waveguide to generate an interference pattern of the plurality of modes. Portions of the interference pattern of the plurality of modes are nonlinearly activated each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide. Portions of the activated interference pattern of the plurality of modes are output to an optical detector array in parallel with one another each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for monitoring interference in radio communication systems are provided. In certain embodiments, an interference monitor system for a ground terminal detects for interference based on a sum of the power levels of orthogonal polarizations of detected interference, thereby allowing the total and average peak interference power levels to be obtained independent of interference polarization. Further, the interference can be divided into frequency bins over the received signal bandwidth(s), thereby facilitating measurement of interference spectral characteristics. Multiple interference monitors can be included to detect interference over the full angular range over which potential interference has access as well as to determine an angular direction of the interference.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for estimating an orbit of a satellite using only images captured by an onboard camera of the satellite. One of the disclosed methods includes: capturing a plurality of images using an onboard camera of the satellite; determining the trajectory, loop closure metrics, and the relative geographic position of the satellite using the plurality of images captured by the onboard camera; and estimating the orbit of the satellite based at least on the determined trajectory, loop closure metrics, and the relative geographic position of the satellite.
