Abstract: A method of processing a timing synchronization signal includes selecting an initial sequence of complex numbers and modifying the initial sequence based upon a metric applied to the autocorrelation function to enhance its autocorrelation properties within a predetermined window about the main autocorrelation peak determined by the timing uncertainty of the system. This two-step optimization process produces a new complex sequence used for timing acquisition. It is applied by transmitting the sequence through a medium and correlating the received signal against a known error-free sequence. Only correlation within the window of the bounded timing uncertainty is performed, thus saving valuable computational cycles. Also, because the sidelobe levels of the autocorrelated function are significantly lower within the timing uncertainty window than the sidelobe levels of a non-optimized autocorrelation function of a signal, the likelihood of finding a peak for the wrong timing signal is greatly reduced.

A reflection signal is received from at least one aircraft surface at a sensor near a receiver antenna, and a conformal reflective phased array antenna coupled to at least one aircraft surface is configured to steer the reflection signal.

Abstract: A system and method for a self calibrating conformal phased array are disclosed involving a plurality of transmit/receive elements; a plurality of embedded, calibration transmit/receive elements scattered across the array; and at least one back-end processor. The calibration transmit/receive elements are used to track any physical calibration transmit/receive element's relative position change caused by array flexure. In one or more embodiments, each of the calibration transmit/receive elements transmit a tone using a small antenna, and the other calibration transmit/receive elements receive the tone using small antennas. The calibration transmit/receive elements that receive the tone measure the phase of the received tone. At least one back-end processor uses the measured phases to determine differential phases from a phase calibration table. Also, at least one back-end processor uses the differential phases to compute a change in apparent location of each transmitting calibration transmit/receive element.

Abstract: A cooperative geolocation system and method. The system and method involves time stamping a plurality of received signals and modifying, such as compressing, one or more of the received signals, either with the same or with different rates of compression. A processing subsystem including a geolocation processor is used to correlate various pairs of received signals and to extract time difference of arrival (TDOA) or frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) information and to use this information in cooperatively geolocating the signal source emitting the signals being analyzed. The system enables greater rates of data compression, and thus frees up bandwidth in a network in which it is employed, as compared with previously existing cooperative geolocation systems. The present system further can perform the cooperative geolocation determination without first decompressing the compressed signals, but rather performing a correlation process directly on designated pairs of signals to extract the needed TDOA/FDOA information.
