Waveform Diversity Presentation
Dr. Mike Wicks, Senior Scientist with the Sensors
Directorate of the Air Force Research Lab and IEEE Fellow will be
presenting. The title of the talk is "Waveform Diversity: Past, Present, and
Future; Adaptive Processing on Transmit and Receive".
This presentation reviews important aspects of radio
frequency sensors and spectrum allocation, and discusses how waveform
diversity, distributed processing, spatial diversity, and knowledge-based
processing can be integrated for improved surveillance systems performance.
Waveform diversity in distributed radio frequency sensor systems offers the
potential for breakthrough performance enhancements in the detection and
identification of natural and manmade objects. This presentation discusses
advances in relevant technology and emerging applications to radar.
The talk will take place at 4:00 pm Wednesday July 30
in the Apollo Room of Nichols Hall on the KU campus (2335 Irving Hill Road,
Lawrence, KS 66045).

Thought for the Day You
can focus on a task or you can literally do a half-brained job by trying to do
two things at once. Which choice is better? Which choice would you want your
surgeon to make? |
