The goal of the Raytheon-Olin SCOPE team was to identify pairs of communication and radar waveforms that could be superimposed through a single nonlinear amplifier while still fulfilling primary communications and radar functions. The team investigated candidate performance using hardware experimentation and industry-standard simulation. The results of this study begin to define the conditions for successful simultaneous communications and radar transmission through a single non-linear amplifier.
The team's goal was to design a hardware system that combines an ultrasound medical imaging device with additional imaging modalities. This new system will simplify the current procedure for more effective diagnosis, decrease preparation and cleaning times, and improve the experience for the patients.
