Abstract: Interference is one of the major impediments to Satellite Communications (SATCOM). When strong interference is inside SATCOM channels, signals may be corrupted so that mission critical communications via satellite are disrupted. In this proposal GIRD Systems proposes innovative excision algorithms for multiple narrowband interference as well as wideband interference on wideband MUOS channels.
Benefits: If successful, this SBIR program will develop a set of algorithms for narrowband as well as wideband interference mitigation for SATCOM channels. This SBIR program obviously develops into a potential product for the military market. Potentially interested parties include the Navy and the Army. Applications of the developed technology into commercial products are ample. For example the WCDMA used in MUOS is a commercial standard, which has huge markets in the cell phone industry.
