Expectation Maximization Aided Modified Weighted Sequential Energy Detector for Distributed Cooperative Spectrum Sensing

no code implementations28 Mar 2024 Mohammed Rashid, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

In this paper, we propose a modified WSED (mWSED) that uses the primary user states information over the window to aggregate only the highly correlated energy samples in its test statistic.

High Accuracy Distributed Kalman Filtering for Frequency and Phase Synchronization in Distributed Phased Arrays

no code implementations18 Feb 2023 Mohammed Rashid, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

Precise frequency and phase synchronization are among the important aspects in a coherent distributed phased array antenna system, and are among the most challenging to achieve for microwave frequencies and above.

Motion Classification Based on Harmonic Micro-Doppler Signatures Using a Convolutional Neural Network

no code implementations13 Jan 2023 Cory Hilton, Steve Bush, Faiz Sherman, Matt Barker, Aditya Deshpande, Steve Willeke, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

We demonstrate the classification of common motions of held objects using the harmonic micro-Doppler signatures scattered from harmonic radio-frequency tags.

Design of a Single-Element Dynamic Antenna for Secure Wireless Applications

no code implementations23 Dec 2022 Amer Abu Arisheh, Jason M. Merlo, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

The dynamic antenna supports a constantly changing current distribution that generates a radiation pattern that is static in a desired direction and dynamic elsewhere, thereby imparting additional modulation on the signal and obscuring information transmitted or received outside of the secure spatial region.

Online Expectation-Maximization Based Frequency and Phase Consensus in Distributed Phased Arrays

no code implementations25 Jul 2022 Mohammed Rashid, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

In this paper, we propose a push-sum based frequency and phase consensus (PsFPC) algorithm for the directed networks.

Wireless Picosecond Time Synchronization for Distributed Antenna Arrays

no code implementations16 Jun 2022 Jason M. Merlo, Serge R. Mghabghab, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

Distributed antenna arrays have been proposed for many applications ranging from space-based observatories to automated vehicles.

A Message Passing Based Average Consensus Algorithm for Decentralized Frequency and Phase Synchronization in Distributed Phased Arrays

no code implementations7 Apr 2022 Mohammed Rashid, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

We consider the problem of decentralized frequency and phase synchronization in distributed phased arrays via local broadcast of the node electrical states.

Frequency and Phase Synchronization in Distributed Antenna Arrays Based on Consensus Averaging and Kalman Filtering

no code implementations22 Jan 2022 Mohammed Rashid, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

Simulation results show that upon convergence the DFPC algorithm can align the frequencies and phases of all the nodes up to a residual phase error that is governed by the oscillators and the estimation errors.

A new method of distortion mitigation for multitarget interferometric angular velocity estimation in millimeter-wave radar is presented.

A C-Band Fully Polarimetric Automotive Synthetic Aperture Radar

no code implementations27 Oct 2021 Jason Merlo, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

Due to the rapid increase in 76 GHz automotive spectrum use in recent years, wireless interference is becoming a legitimate area of concern.

Three Dimensional Velocity Measurement Using a Dual Axis Millimeter-Wave Interferometric Radar

no code implementations11 Nov 2020 Jason Merlo, Eric Klinefelter, Jeffrey A. Nanzer

A $\text{41. 8 GHz}$ dual axis interferometric radar with a $7. 26\lambda$ antenna baseline is presented along with measurements of a target moving parallel to the plane of the radar array, and of a target moving with components of both radial and tangential velocity.
