CHANNELIZING A WIDEBAND WAVEFORM FOR TRANSMISSION ON A SPECTRAL BAND COMPRISING UNAVAILABLE CHANNEL SEGMENTS

Methods, systems, and devices for channelizing a wideband waveform for transmission on a spectral band comprising unavailable channel segments are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for transmitting and receiving wideband waveforms when channels of a system bandwidth are unavailable for transmission. A transmitter may separate a first wideband signal into segments, with each segment a bandwidth corresponding to a channel of the system bandwidth, and may map the segments to the available channels. The transmitter may combine the mapped segments into a second wideband waveform and transmit the second wideband waveform using the available channels. A receiver may receive a first wideband signal waveform and may separate the first wideband signal waveform into segments, de-map the segments and combine the de-mapped segments into a second wideband waveform for demodulation. The techniques may be used to transmit and receive wideband waveforms over tactical data links.

Radio frequency interference mitigation with adaptive local oscillator
11848750 · 2023-12-19 · ·

Various schemes for mitigating radio frequency (RF) interference are described, wherein an adaptive local oscillator (LO) is utilized. A receiver measures a jamming indicator which indicates a total power within a receiving band of the receiver. If the jamming indicator indicates a presence of substantial in-band interference, the receiver may program the LO to a different frequency and/or adjust a bandwidth of a filter accordingly to reject or reduce the interference. The receiver may adjust the LO and/or the filter repeatedly until the interference is rejected to a point that de-sense to the signal intended to be received is satisfactorily mitigated. The receiver may restore the LO and the filter to a default setting when the jamming indicator indicates that the interference is no longer present.

Symbol detection is shared wireless channel subject to jamming interference

A communication system receives a jammed signal including a sequence of complex numbers encoding one or combination of symbols transmitted by multiple transmitters. The system transforms the sequence of complex numbers into an image of real numbers having at least two columns and multiple rows, with real values of real and imaginary parts of each complex number forming different columns but the same row of the first image, processes the image with a neural network trained to suppress the wideband signal in the received signal, and detects the symbols transmitted by the transmitters from the de-jammed signal.
