摘要： An optical system may be configured as a receiving or as a transmitting system. As a receiving system, it is configured to receive at least one incident laser beam and project the beam into a spot on an array of actuable elements. The position of the spot is determined by the incident angular direction of the beam. The array is configured to track the position of the spot and at each tracked position of the spot to direct the beam onto an actual element. The actuable element tracks the spot so as to direct the beam onto a fixed path toward an optical receiver. As a transmitting system, it includes an actuable element configured to direct the light output from a laser into a spot on an array of actuable elements. The array is configured to track the position of the spot and at each tracked position of the spot to direct the light into a beam-forming system. The beam-forming system is configured to project the light in a transmitted beam having a variable angular direction. The beam angular direction is determined by the position of the spot on the array.

摘要： An approach is provided that uses diversity to compensate fading of free-space optical (FSO) signals propagating through an environment characterized by atmospheric scintillation. One embodiment involves collecting at least one FSO beam, demultiplexing the beam by wavelength into at least two sub-beams, detecting each sub-beam to produce an electrical output therefrom, and recovering a signal using complementary information from at least two of the electrical outputs. Another embodiment involves collecting the FSO beam onto an array of spatially separated sub-apertures, detecting the light entering each sub-aperture to produce an electrical output therefrom, and recovering a signal using complementary information from at least two of the electrical outputs. This second embodiment enables both electronic adaptive processing to coherently integrate across the sub-apertures and in the case of multiple transmit apertures a free space optical Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system.

摘要： A method is provided for increasing the effective transmission range for ones of a plurality of low-power transmitters arranged in an array. In particular, the low-power transmitters are arranged to simultaneously transmit a common information stream, and the transmitters are caused to transmit in a coherent manner. The resultant transmitted energy, as received at a receiver established to receive such transmissions, is thereby increased as a function of the number of operating transmitters.

摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention is a dual-polarized antenna array constructed from first and second instances of a planar antenna that are co-located and orthogonal to one another. The planar antenna comprises three conducting elements and a transmission line. The first conducting element comprises a straight segment and two arms of equal length. The proximal ends of the two arms are attached to opposite ends of the straight segment. The arms extend away from the second and third conducting elements and towards one another. The second and third conducting elements are separated by a gap and together form a mirror image of the first conducting element. The transmission line has first and second conductors that are coupled to the second and third conducting elements, respectively. In another embodiment, the present invention is a tri-polarized antenna array constructed from three orthogonal co-located instances of the planar antenna.

摘要： A radio communication system includes an Interrogator for generating and transmitting a radio signal. One or more Tags contained within the radio communication system receive the radio signal. A Backscatter Modulator modulates the reflection of the radio signal using a subcarrier signal, thereby forming a reflected modulated signal. The Interrogator receives and demodulates the reflected modulated signal. Based upon the characteristics of the demodulated signal, the Interrogator can determine the identity of the Tag, and the relative velocity of the Tag with respect to the Interrogator. The Interrogator can also determine if motion exists in the vicinity of the Interrogator, even when no Tag is present, without the need for a separate motion detection system. The characteristics of the demodulated signal, can also be used to determine the characteristics of motion of the Tag, such as the vibrational frequency. Alternate embodiments allow the Interrogator to transmit a first information signal to one or more tags, specifying which Tags should respond using Modulated Backscatter, so that the characteristics of only particular Tags can be determined. Further alternate embodiments allow the Tag to input analog data, and perform analog to digital conversion of that data. This data may be then transmitted to the Interrogator using Modulated Backscatter. Alternately, this data may be used as input to calculations performed in the Tag in order to analyze the frequency characteristics of the analog input. The Tag can also, based upon the results of these calculations, identify an abnormal condition and notify the Interrogator of the existence of such a condition.
