Advanced Signal Analysis Techniques for Use on Non-Periodic Radio Frequency Signals

Helios Remote Sensing Systems proposes to develop advanced signal analysis tools for utilization on non-periodic radio frequency (RF) signal sources that have the capability to detect, process, generate and classify non-periodic RF signals such as Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Noise Radars, and Low Probability of Detection (LPD) Radio Frequency (RF) waveforms that do not exhibit sinusoidal characteristics. During Phase I, we will design and analyze an approach to develop advanced signal analysis tools for utilization on non-periodic radio frequency (RF) signal sources. We will evaluate candidate algorithms and validate the approach in a high-fidelity modeling and simulation environment. We will include the development of models and simulations in order to validate the approach, demonstrate feasibility and reduce technical risk for Phase II. The Phase I effort will include prototype plans to be developed under Phase II. During Phase II, we will further refine and optimize the Phase I technical developments and implement algorithms and software into an embedded and GPC demonstration system for characterization of performance for detecting, processing, classifying and generating UWB, Noise Radars, and other signals. In addition, we will develop a transition plan for Phase III.
