摘要： The invention relates to an interconnection network for forward error correction encoders and decoders, including N input terminals, N output terminals, and M stages. Each stage includes switching elements having input pins and output pins. The input pins of the switching elements of the first stage are connected to the input terminals, and the output pins of the switching elements of the last stage are connected to the output terminals. The input and output pins of the switching elements of immediately successive stages are connected in a hardwired fashion so as to form a plurality of interconnection sub-networks for routing respective input values from respective output pins of the switching elements of the first stage to respective input pins of the switching elements of the last stage.

摘要： The present invention concerns a method for performing SAR acquisitions, which comprises performing SAR acquisitions in Spotlight/Stripmap mode of areas/swaths of earth's surface by means of a SAR system carried by an air or space platform along a flight direction, whereby: an azimuth direction is defined by a ground track of the flight direction on the earth's surface, a nadir direction is defined that is orthogonal to the earth's surface, to the flight direction and to the azimuth direction, an across-track direction is defined that lies on the earth's surface and is orthogonal to the azimuth direction and to the nadir direction, and, for each acquired area/swath of the earth's surface, a respective range direction is defined that extends from the synthetic aperture radar system to said acquired area/swath. Performing SAR acquisitions in Spotlight/Stripmap mode of areas/swaths of earth's surface includes contemporaneously acquiring P areas or portions of P swaths in a pulse repetition interval having a predefined time length, P being an integer greater than one. Said P areas/swaths are separated along the across-track direction and are spaced apart from each other along the across-track direction and from the SAR system along the respective range direction by predefined distances. Said predefined time length and said predefined distances are such that to enable contemporaneous acquisition of said P areas or of portions of said P swaths in said pulse repetition interval.

摘要： A localization method for locating a target that is coupled with a locator transponder associated with a permanent identification code permanently assigned to the locator transponder is provided. The localization method includes: a) transmitting a spread spectrum paging signal carrying the permanent identification code and a shorter temporary identification code temporarily assigned to the locator transponder; b) receiving the spread spectrum paging signal and extracting the temporary identification code carried by the received spread spectrum paging signal; c) transmitting radar signals towards area(s) of earth's surface or sky and receiving echo signals therefrom; d) upon reception by the locator transponder of radar signal(s), generating and transmitting a sequence of watermarked radar echo signals in which a spread spectrum watermarking signal is embedded that includes the temporary identification code; e) carrying out localization operations; f) transmitting frequency-synchronization-aid signal(s); g) receiving the frequency-synchronization-aid signal(s) and estimating a frequency drift affecting a reference frequency provided by a local oscillator of the locator transponder; wherein the locator transponder transmits the sequence of watermarked radar echo signals by using a transmission carrier frequency obtained based on the reference frequency provided by the local oscillator and on the estimated frequency drift.

摘要： A SAR imaging method for interferometric analyses is provided, including: receiving raw SAR data related to two or more SAR acquisitions of one and the same area of the earth's surface carried out by one or more synthetic aperture radars; and processing the raw SAR data to generate SAR images. For each SAR acquisition, the respective raw SAR data is processed based on two different sets of processing parameters: a first set that is the same for all the SAR acquisitions and which comprises focusing Doppler parameters computed based on physical Doppler parameters related to all the SAR acquisitions; and a second set which comprises respective radiometric equalization Doppler parameters related to the SAR acquisition and computed based on respective physical Doppler parameters related to the SAR acquisition. Processing includes: focusing the raw SAR data related to all SAR acquisitions based on the focusing Doppler parameters and, for each SAR acquisition, applying a respective radiometric equalization, based on the respective radiometric equalization Doppler parameters, to the respective SAR data to compensate for possible differences in pointing of the synthetic aperture radar(s), without degrading azimuth resolution and without introducing radiometric distortions.

摘要： An on-orbit servicing spacecraft includes an engagement system to engage a space vehicle or object to be serviced or tugged, so as to form a space system, and an electronic reaction control system to cause the spacecraft to rotate about roll, yaw, and pitch axes to control attitude and displacement along given trajectories to cause the spacecraft to carry out given maneuvers. The electronic reaction control system includes (i) a sensory system to directly sense physical quantities or allow physical quantities to be indirectly computed based on sensed physical quantities, including one or more of position, attitude, angular rates, available fuel, geometrical features, and on-board systems state, (ii) attitude control thrusters mounted so as to allow their positions and orientations to be adjustable, and (iii) an attitude control computer in communication with the sensory system and the attitude control thrusters and programmed to receive data from the sensory system and to control, based on the received data, positions, orientations, and operating states of the attitude control thrusters so as to control attitude and position of the spacecraft. The attitude control computer is programmed to cause the spacecraft to carry out a given mission including an engagement step, in which the engagement system and the attitude control thrusters are controlled by the attitude control computer to engage a space vehicle or object to be serviced or tugged, and one or more operating steps, in each of which the attitude control thrusters are controlled by the attitude control computer to meet one or more requirements established for the operating step.
