Science and Technology
The basis for dB work is the application of extensive scientific knowledge and mathematical skills with sound scientific criteria. This foundation allows dB to creatively develop advanced technology methods and advance innovative technology concepts. Detailed and in-depth understanding of the physics, mathematics and phenomenology of radar signals allows dB science and technology employees to see how they affect and impact the signature and measurement generation processes. deciBel’s Science and Technology employees are scientists, engineers and mathematicians who have profound knowledge of the fundamental sensor construct and data processing capabilities and how they, in turn, capture and interpret the underlying targets and environments phenomenology and physics. deciBel Research core Science and Technology expertise includes multi-frequency RF target phenomenology, advanced spectral estimation algorithms, advanced target motion algorithms, novel 2D and 3D imaging algorithms, and advanced fused, multisensor discrimination-based track algorithms, and innovative sensor construct designs.
Electromagnetic Signature Modeling and Interpretation
deciBel employs recognized world-class experts in the area of electromagnetic theory and computational electromagnetics. By understanding electromagnetic phenomena, dB is able to generate highly-detailed radar signature data, model complex three-dimensional radiation and scattering problems, and design and implement ultra-high performance electromagnetic simulation codes. deciBel’s knowledge is further exploited in the analysis and interpretation of radar flight test data and in the development of advanced algorithms based on such analysis results.
Innovative Beamforming and Waveform Design
deciBel’s world-class radar designers and mathematicians are actively developing and exploiting new and potentially “game-changing” Beamforming methods and unique waveforms that permit the development of new and powerful object detection and characterization algorithm, as well as the implementation of new counter-countermeasure algorithms.
Target Attribute Determination Algorithms
deciBel Research has developed a unique set of algorithms that can determine the physical, geometry independent characteristics of objects, including their size, shape, motion, and surface material characteristics. These algorithms complement standard discrimination algorithms by including new:
- Spectral Estimation Methods
- 2D and 3D Image Generation Techniques
- 2D and 3D Image Exploitation and Interpretation Techniques
- Target Tracking Determination Algorithms
deciBel Research has developed unique target track and track correlation algorithms that use and integrate data from multiple radars. These powerful algorithms permit the generation of very accurate, multisensor system level tracks.
