A metamaterial for a radio frequency communications apparatus is disclosed. The metamaterial can comprise a flex circuit and an array of circuit elements mounted on the flex circuit. Each of the circuit elements can comprise a conductive trace and at least one hybrid component electrically coupled to the conductive trace.

Metamaterial for a radio frequency communications apparatus

A system and method for assessing the probability of detection of a target of a hyperspectral sensing system. The system is adapted to calculate the probability of detection of targets based on various sensor parameters, atmospheric conditions, and a specified combination of targets and backgrounds for a given false alarm rate. The system may be executed, for example, on an IBM compatible PC to allow the user to optimize the hyperspectral sensor and subsequent signal processing to a particular set of backgrounds and targets. The sensor models, atmospheric models and target and background profiles are initially applied to the system in the form of the databases. As such, the system enables the user to select among the various parameters to optimize a hyperspectral sensor and the subsequent signal processing for a particular set of parameters.
