  • Publication number: 20240369703
    Abstract: A system may be configured for implementing neural volumetric reconstruction for coherent synthetic aperture sonar. Exemplary systems include means for measuring underwater objects using high-resolution Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) by coherently combining data from a moving array to form high-resolution imagery. Such a system may receive a waveform from the measurements of the underwater object and optimize the waveform for deconvolving via an iterative deconvolution optimization process applying an adaptable approach to waveform compression where performance is tuned via sparsity and smoothness parameters. Such a system may deconvolve the wave form using pulse deconvolution and use the deconvolved waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization operation with an implicit neural representation to yield higher resolution and superior volumetric reconstruction scene of the underwater object.

  • Patent number: 12068725
    Abstract: A switched capacitor modulator (SCM) includes a RF power amplifier. The RF power amplifier receives a rectified voltage and a RF drive signal and modulates an input signal in accordance with the rectified voltage to generate a RF output signal to an output terminal. A reactance in parallel with the output terminal is configured to vary in response to a control signal to vary an equivalent reactance in parallel with the output terminal. A controller generates the control signal and a commanded phase. The commanded phase controls the RF drive signal. The reactance is at least one of a capacitance or an inductance, and the capacitance or the inductance varies in accordance with the control signal.
