Surface Penetrating Radar System And Target Zone Investigation Methodology
US Patent:
8629799, Jan 14, 2014
Filed:
Mar 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/075992
Inventors:
Steven M. Shope - Mesa AZ, US
Assignee:
Sandia Research Corporation - Mesa AZ
International Classification:
G01S 13/04, G01S 13/08
US Classification:
342 22, 342120
Abstract:
A radar system () includes a transmitter (), a receiver (), and a software defined radio (SDR) peripheral (). Methodology () for investigating a target zone () utilizing the system () entails generating () a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) code () having a code length () corresponding to a time duration of radio wave travel between the transmitter (), the target zone (), and the receiver () at a carrier frequency (). A beacon signal (), modulated () by the DSSS code (), is transmitted () from the transmitter () toward the target zone () and a return signal () is received () at the receiver (). The return signal () is compared () to a replica signal () characterized by the DSSS code (), and presence of an object () in the target zone () is ascertained () when the return signal () matches the replica signal ().
System And Method For Communicating In A Lossy Environment
US Patent:
8462829, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:

Assignee:
Sandia Research Corporation - Mesa AZ
International Classification:
H04B 1/00
US Classification:
375142, 375143, 375146, 375147, 375150, 375152, 375219, 375295, 375316
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication in a lossy environment entails generating a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) code string that includes a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence followed by instances of shifted PN sequences, where the shifted PN sequences are produced in response to the content of the message. The PN sequence includes a plurality of chips arranged in a first order, and each of the shifted PN sequences includes the plurality of chips arranged in another order. A beacon signal modulated by the DSSS code string is transmitted from a transceiver and received at a receiver within the communication system. Correlation peaks are formed at the receiver, where each correlation peak is associated with one of the PN sequences or one of the shifted PN sequences. Shift values are determined from the correlation peaks and the shift values are decoded to produce the message at the receiver.
Methods And Apparatus For Infrared Reflecting System
US Patent:
2007016, Jul 12, 2007
Filed:
Jan 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/329820
Inventors:
Steven Shope - Mesa AZ, US
International Classification:
D03D 15/00
US Classification:
442181000
Abstract:
An infrared reflecting system according to various aspects of the present invention includes an infrared reflective material and at least one layer. The infrared reflecting material is configured to deflect infrared radiation. The layers inhibit heat transfer via convection and/or conduction and/or obscure the infrared reflective material.
