MIMO EM Measurements in Marine Atmospheric Environments
Abstract
Funds are provided to acquire a four transmitter and 24 receiver multiple-input, multiple output (MIMO) system that will measure both amplitude and phase of EM signals. The system will be used as a passive system observing variation in arrival structure. Both the MIMO and the single array system can be used for sensing the refractivity environment. Processing will be performed for arrival angles and environmental information from sources of opportunity. Small scale MIMO phased array (4x4 with ~20 cm aperture) has been available commercially and a tested at a larger scale recently. The array structure is left flexible, so it can be deployed on land or on a boat. This equipment will support ONR-funded research projects.
