Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) jamming according to one embodiment includes dynamically monitoring a RF spectrum; detecting any undesired signals in real time from the RF spectrum; and sending a directional countermeasure signal to jam the undesired signals. A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) communications according to another embodiment includes transmitting a data pulse in a RF spectrum; and transmitting a reference pulse separated by a predetermined period of time from the data pulse; wherein the data pulse is modulated with data, wherein the reference pulse is unmodulated. A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) communications according to yet another embodiment includes receiving a data pulse in a RF spectrum; and receiving a reference pulse separated in time from the data pulse, wherein the data pulse is modulated with data, wherein the reference pulse is unmodulated; and demodulating the pulses.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) communications, the method comprising: transmitting a data pulse in a RF spectrum, wherein the data pulse is modulated with data; and after transmitting the data pulse, transmitting a reference pulse separated by a predetermined period of time from the data pulse, wherein the reference pulse is unmodulated but otherwise identical to the data pulse, wherein the reference pulse is configured to serve as a correlatio…
