    摘要: Capturing, extracting and storing narrowband IQ data for later processing enables timely and efficient analysis. As wideband capture of RF information includes noise and non-signal elements, the present invention detects, extracts and stores narrowband IQ signals for later assessment. By transforming a high-volume data stream to a collection of smaller narrowband signals with greatly reduced storage and on-board processing requirements the present invention facilitates the capability to analyze signals of interest in an otherwise denied environment.

    摘要: A system and method for frequency-agnostic multiband aggregation of received signals is disclosed for use in high capacity communication. The system includes two up-conversion mixer stages and one down-conversion mixer stage, with SAW filter banks or other band pass filter banks used to select frequency bands of interest for aggregation based on configurable multiband combination settings. The method provides for the design of optimal multiband aggregation configuration settings.

    摘要: Methods and systems for cyber secure data communications are provided. In some embodiments, a method for transmitting data comprises: performing a marker-based data encoding process to embed a digital watermark into each of a plurality of original data flows to be transmitted to a plurality of receivers; performing a non-orthogonal multiple access process to allocate transmission powers to the plurality of original data flows, such that the plurality of original data flows are simultaneously superposed on a carrier frequency to generate a superposed signal; performing a noise modulation process to modulate the superposed signal to generate a noise-like signal and a reference noise signal; transmitting the noise-like signal and the reference noise signal through orthogonally polarized antennas; and performing a portal-based data integrity analysis process to check whether a receiver in the plurality of receivers is compromised or manipulated.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to leakage current reduction in integrated circuits (ICs). In one aspect, an IC can include a digital logic circuit and a polarization circuit. The digital logic circuit can have a plurality of inputs and can include a plurality of logic gates. The polarization circuit can receive a standby signal and a digital input signal comprising a plurality of bits. When the standby signal is deactivated, the polarization circuit can control the plurality of inputs of the digital logic circuit based on the digital input signal. However, when the standby signal is activated the polarization circuit can control the plurality of inputs of the digital logic circuit to a low power state associated with a smaller leakage current of the plurality of logic gates relative to at least one other state of the digital logic circuit.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for channel estimation between a transmitter and a receiver in a wireless communications system. In one arrangement, the method comprises: receiving at the receiver a first sequence of bits representing a first sequence of coded symbols transmitted over the communications channel; decoding the first sequence of coded symbols using maximum-likelihood based decoding including: generating traceback outcomes by tracing backwards the first sequence of bits through a maximum-likelihood based traceback path, the traceback outcomes including a first portion associated with a first traceback depth and a second portion associated with a second traceback depth that is deeper than the first traceback depth; generating a channel estimate of the communications channel based on the first portion of the traceback outcomes; and generating an estimate of at least some information bits coded in the first sequence of coded symbols based on the second portion of the traceback outcomes.

    摘要: A digital code recovery circuit includes a data transmitter that outputs either input data or a preamble code as transmitter data. A radio frequency interconnect (RFI) transmitter modulates carrier signals based on the transmitter data and transmits the modulated carrier signals over a channel to an RFI receiver that demodulates the carrier signals to obtain recovered transmitter data. A calibration storage device stores preamble data and a calibration circuit receives the recovered transmitter data. If the recovered transmitter data originated from the preamble code, the calibration circuit determines a set of digital calibration adjustments from the recovered transmitter data and the preamble data. If the recovered transmitter data originated from the input data, the calibration circuit applies the set of digital calibration adjustments to the recovered transmitter data to obtain adjusted digital code and outputs the adjusted digital code.

    摘要: A blind source separation (BSS) system comprises means for gathering wideband signal power spectral information without using special Fourier transform hardware/software systems and without using extremely large signal memories. The method involves taking the combined energy output of a large set of BSS filters that are operating under a blind source separation algorithm that looks for signals of interest, along with instantaneous filter characteristics such as center frequency, bandwidth and spectral response, and records a weighted spread energy into a frequency- and time-based histogram. This information can then be used to compare against the BSS signal output and signal energy which does not correspond to existing signal output is added to additional BSS signal output. This system can operate in real time, but uses long-term averaging to enhance signal detection.
