This 4-day course covers signal processing systems for radar, sonar, communications, speech, imaging and other applications based on state-of-the-art computer algorithms. These algorithms include important tasks such as data simulation, parameter estimation, filtering, interpolation, detection, spectral analysis, beamforming, classification, and tracking. Until now these algorithms could only be learned by reading the latest technical journals...

This 4-day course presents a broad introduction to major missile subsystems and their integrated performance, explained in practical terms, but including relevant analytical methods. While emphasis is on today’s homing missiles and future trends, the course includes a historical perspective of relevant older missiles. Both endoatmospheric and exoatmospheric missiles (missiles that operate in the atmosphere and in space) are addressed. Mi...

This four-day course is designed for technician and engineers who need an understanding of EMI and EMI fix methodology. The course offers a basic working knowledge of the principles of the EMI measurements, EMI fix selection, and EMI fix theory. This course will provide the ability to understand and communicate with communications-electronics (C-E) engineers and project personnel relating to EMI and EMI fix trade-offs. What you will learn: Bas...

This four-day course is intended for engineers and scientists concerned with the design and performance analysis of signal processing applications. The course will provide the fundamentals required to develop optimum signal processing flows based upon processor throughput resource requirements analysis. Emphasis will be placed upon practical approaches based on lessons learned that are thoroughly developed using procedures with computer tools...

The objective of this course is to introduce engineers, scientists, managers, and military operations personnel to the fields of radar tracking, data fusion and to the key technologies which are available today for application to this field. The course is designed to be rigorous where appropriate, while remaining accessible to students without a specific scientific background in this field. The course will start from the fundamentals and move...

A three-day course covering the basics of radar, taught in a manner for true understanding of the fundamentals, even for the complete newcomer. Covered are electromagnetic waves, frequency bands, the natural phenomena of scattering and propagation, radar performance calculations and other tools used in radar work, and a "walk through" the four principal subsystems - the transmitter, the antenna, the receiver and signal processor, and the contr...

This course is intended for engineers and scientists concerned with the vibration reduction and quieting of vehicles, devices, and equipment. The course will provide guidance relevant to design, problem solving, and development of improvements. It will emphasize understanding of the relevant phenomena and concepts in order to enable the participants to address a wide range of practical problems insightfully. The instructors will draw on their...

This three day course, based on the 690-page Sensor Technology Handbook, published by Elsevier in 2005 and edited by the instructor, is designed for engineers, technicians and managers who want to increase their knowledge of sensors and signal conditioning. It balances breadth and depth in a practical presentation for those who design sensor systems and work with sensors of all types. Each topic includes technology fundamentals, selection crit...

This three-day course provides system engineers, team leaders, and managers with a clear understanding about how to develop good specifications affordably using modeling methods that encourage identification of the essential characteristics that must be respected in the subsequent design process. Both the analysis and management aspects are covered. Each student will receive a full set of course notes and textbook, “System Requirements A...
