Abstract: A radio frequency system. In some embodiments, the system includes a one-bit receiver, and the one-bit receiver includes a digital pseudo random noise generator, a one-bit digital to analog converter, a power combiner, a one-bit analog to digital converter, and a digital subtraction circuit. The digital pseudo random noise generator produces a signal added to the received signal before analog to digital conversion. After analog to digital conversion, a delayed version of the dither is subtracted from the digital signal.

Abstract: An advance warning system including an antenna pair and an RWR system to receive first, second and third signals for computing a frequency for all the signals and a phase difference between the signals. If the frequencies are within a threshold frequency difference and the phase difference is less than a threshold phase difference, two signals can be associated. If the frequencies are not within the threshold frequency difference, the RWR system generates a set of ambiguous angle of arrival AoA for the signals and correlates the two sets of ambiguous AoA to determine if there is a common AoA. If there is a common AoA, a third set of ambiguous angle of arrival AoA for a third signal is generated to determine if the three sets correlate. If there is a common AoA for all three signals, the three signals are associated.

Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) signal analysis includes slow-time signal processing and fast-time signal processing. Incoming RF pulses are captured according to a resource scheduling configuration. The fast-time signal processing is to prioritize the captured RF pulses for slow-time signal processing based on dynamic pulse-grading criteria. The slow-time signal processing is to perform relevance evaluation of the prioritized RF pulses, and to adjust the dynamic pulse-grading criteria and the resource scheduling configuration based on the relevance evaluation.

Abstract: A global positioning system (GPS) receiver and system for determining a geographical location associated with the GPS receiver using less than four GPS signals. The system can comprise a constraint module configured to receive one or more constraints that describe at least one characteristic of a GPS receiver when a number of GPS satellites within a line of sight to the GPS receiver is below a defined value. The system can further comprise a pseudo range calculation module configured to calculate a plurality of pseudo ranges between the GPS receiver and the number GPS satellites, wherein the plurality of pseudo ranges are to various orbital positions of the GPS satellites over a period of time; and a geographical location module configured to determine the geographical location of the GPS receiver using the plurality of pseudo ranges and known constraints of motion associated with the GPS receiver.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital conversion system includes two quantizers having a least significant bit arranged in a parallel pair. An input circuit coupled to the quantizers provides an analog input signal to the quantizers. A dither generator coupled to the quantizers provides an analog differential dither signal for perturbing quantization of the analog input signal. A combiner coupled to the quantizers adds respective outputs of the quantizers to obtain a linearized digital representation of the analog input signal.

Abstract: Technology for determining an orbit of a geosynchronous satellite is described. A ground station can receive a transponded (RF) signal from a relay satellite. The relay satellite can receive an RF signal from the geosynchronous satellite and transpond the RF signal to create the transponded RF signal. The ground station can identify a second Doppler shift associated with the transponded RF signal received at the ground station from the relay satellite. The RF signal received at the relay satellite from the geosynchronous satellite can be associated with a first Doppler shift. The ground station can determine a frequency of the transponded RF signal received at the ground station from the relay satellite. The first Doppler shift associated with the RF signal transmitted from the geosynchronous satellite to the relay satellite can be calculated using the frequency of the transponded RF signal and the second Doppler shift associated with the transponded signal. The orbit of the geosynchronous satellite can be determined based on the first Doppler shift associated with the RF signal.

Abstract: A digital receiver includes a digital synthesizer that generates a local oscillating (LO) signal at a selected frequency, and a signal mixer that receives an input signal and generates a mixed output signal in response to shifting a phase of the input signal based on the frequency of the LO signal. A multi-mode dynamic channelizer is selectively operable in a first mode and a second mode. The first mode generates a plurality of individual channels having a channel size defined by a bandwidth and a gain, and the second mode generates a parallelization of a selected channel. In response to operating in the second mode, the multi-mode dynamic channelizer adjusts at least one of the bandwidth and the gain of the selected channel based on the mixed output signal to change the channel size of the selected channel.
