  • Burst tone range processing system and method
    Patent number: 5515056
    Abstract: A burst tone range processing system for determining the distance between a ranging station and a signal re-transmitting target device, generates a burst tone signal of finite duration and transmits the signal along a delay transmission path from the ranging station to the target and along a reference transmission path within the ranging station. The transmitted signals are received from the reference and delay paths and assigned time tags. The signals are then correlated and the time tags assigned to correlated signals are compared.

  • Command modulation system having command generator unit for commanding a plurality of different types of controlled units
    Patent number: 5384845
    Abstract: A command modulation system receives commands from a plurality of input sources, some local and some remote, and routes the commands to a plurality of commanded devices, which may be satellites. By use of the input sources, a user configures digital signal processors located in each of a plurality of modulation channels so that the channels have the desired modulation parameters. In this way, the system can be made to command a plurality of different types of commanded devices.
