| Multicarrier Spread Spectrum | |

| This session will cover topics that include multicarrier (MC) direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS), multicarrier frequency-hopped SS (FH-SS), and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), at the physical layer. For OFDM, some form of spectral spreading is required. Work on other new multicarrier SS techniques not mentioned above is also invited. Topics that address performance just above the physical layer (i.e., MAC or DL) are also of interest. The aim is for the session to highlight recent advances in these sophisiticated modulation techniques, pertaining to the performance advantages that they can provide in terms of interference (jamming) resistance, channel fading, and signal security, compared with other, more conventional techniques. | |
| Previous assignments have included the introduction of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology into current tactical systems as part of the Army’s Task Force XXI program. These demonstrations were a critical first step in the Army’s efforts to digitize the battlefield and help to demonstrate for the first time how digital technology could be used to support our soldiers. Prior to that Mr. Levine was involved with the introduction of Local Area Network technology to the field. | |
