    摘要: An oscillator to generate a low phase-noise reference signal at an oscillation frequency includes a frequency generator to generate the reference signal responsive to a control signal, and a delay element made of a high-temperature superconductor material. The delay element time-delays the reference signal and provides a low phase-noise time-delayed reference signal when cooled to a cryogenic temperature. The oscillator includes a phase detector to generate the control signal from a phase difference between the time-delayed reference signal and a phase-shifted reference signal. The delay element may comprise a coplanar waveguide having a length between 500 and 1000 meters arranged randomly on a substrate having a diameter of between five and thirteen centimeters. The delay element may provide a delay ranging from five to fifteen microseconds. The coplanar waveguide may be comprised of Yttrium-Barium-Copper Oxide disposed on either a Lanthanum-Aluminum Oxide or a Magnesium Oxide substrate.

    摘要: A see-through-the-wall (STTW) imaging system uses a plurality of geographically separated positioning transmitters to transmit non-interfering positioning signals. An imaging unit generates a synthetic aperture image of a target by compensating for complex movement of the imaging unit using the positioning signals. The imaging unit includes forward and aft positioning antennas to receive at least three of the positioning signals, an imaging antenna to receive radar return signals from the target, and a signal processor to compensate the return signals for position and orientation of the imaging antenna using the positioning signals. The signal processor may construct the synthetic aperture image of a target from the compensated return signals as the imaging unit is moved with respect to the target. The signal processor may determine the position and the orientation of the imaging unit by measuring a relative phase of the positioning signals.

    摘要: Embodiments of digital high-speed bi-phase modulator and method for bi-phase modulation are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the digital high-speed bi-phase modulator comprises a high-speed digital divider, a high-speed digital multiplexer, and matched signal paths provided between the divider and the multiplexer. The high-speed digital divider is configured to receive a carrier signal and generate complementary output signals. The high-speed digital multiplexer is configured to switch between the complementary output signals and generate a bi-phase modulated output at a carrier frequency (fc) modulated with a bi-phase code. The bi-phase code may be provided to control inputs of the multiplexer.

    摘要: A bi-phase modulator including a driver and a mixer. The driver includes a prescaler having an input for receiving a signal and an output for outputting a baseband signal. The mixer includes a mixer having an input coupled to the output of the prescaler for receiving the baseband signal output by the prescaler. The baseband signal output by the prescaler drives the mixer so as to output a modulated waveform from an output of the mixer.
