Space-time coding is applied to a wave transmitter, receiver, or both. In general, the space-time coding is performed by real or synthetic motion of the transmitter or receiver, with the location of energy radiation/reception varying over the symbol duration with at least one occurrence during the symbol duration of a minimum instantaneous speed greater than a quarter of the ratio of the smallest wavelength of the waves divided by the symbol duration, and with coded acceleration of the modification of location to modify the velocity over the symbol duration.

Encoded space time warped asymmetrical signaling

The unknown location of an electromagnetic transmitter is determined by receiving the radiation at plural sensors distributed over an area. Received power is determined at each sensor, and normalized by taking ratios of powers from the various sensors. A plurality of transmitter locations are hypothesized, and losses from each hypothesized location to each sensor are estimated or measured. The losses are normalized. The differences between the normalized powers and normalized losses are integrated, and the mean-square values determined. The location at which the mean-square value is minimum is deemed to be the location of the transmitter.

Agile electromagnetic geolocation

A speech activated control system for controlling aerial vehicle components, program product, and associated methods are provided. The system can include a host processor adapted to develop speech recognition models and to provide speech command recognition. The host processor can be positioned in communication with a database for storing and retrieving speech recognition models. The system can include an avionic computer in communication with the host processor and adapted to provide command function management, a display and control processor in communication with the avionic computer adapted to provide a user interface between a user and the avionic computer, and a data interface positioned in communication with the avionic computer and the host processor provided to divorce speech command recognition functionality from vehicle or aircraft-related speech-command functionality. The system can also include speech actuated command program product at least partially stored in the memory of the host processor and adapted to provide the speech recognition model training and speech recognition model recognition functionality.
