This area includes research development in signal, image, and speech processing;
radar detection; estimation; and communication theory. Research efforts,
sponsored by the DoD, NASA, TI, ARPA, and the Linguistic Data Consortium,
include:
Analysis of the NASA TDRSS Downlink - conducts performance
studies of alternate coding schemes to more efficiently combat the types
of errors known to exist
Coding for High-Speed Digital Communications - develops
efficient coding schemes for wireless digital communication applications
Adaptive FSK/PSK Radar - studies a spectrally agile
pulse compression radar that learns target-specific information over
time and integrates the information into the generation of radar signals
in real-time.
A Sun SPARCstation-Based Data Collection Platform
- develops a Unix-based platform for speech data collection based on
an open-architecture design
Software Development for Bandwidth Correction of Waveforms
measured with Band-Limited Instruments - develops data enhancement
techniques for transient measurements that have the capability to extract
usable waveforms resulting in greater productivity and lower research
cost
Acoustic Monitoring of Global Ocean Climate - conducts
research visualization of ocean models and acoustic propagation paths
