A method for recognizing modulation of radioelectric transmissions from instantaneous spectra of transmission observed in a determined frequency band by a Fast Fourier Transform spectrum analyze is disclosed wherein the method involves the calculation of a plurality of parameters for each transmission spectrum line which is observed. The parameters include the calculation of a mean amplitude of all the lines k of the spectrum contained in the determined frequency band and the calculation of a signal-to-noise ratio as well as a standard deviation in amplitude of each line of the spectrum. Also calculated is a coefficient of correlation COR(k,k) of amplitude of each line k with the homologous lines of the transmission spectrum contained in the determined frequency band. Subsequently, a comparison is made, through a network of neurons, of the parameters of each transmission spectrum with expected transmission parameters and an indication is made as to a correspondence between a transmission and an expected transmission when the difference detected by the comparison is at a minimum value. |

A recognition system for comparing energy distributions of incombing emitters with known frequency spectrums is shown. Frequency spectrum analysis of randomly generated signals produces references against which the incoming communication wave may be checked. the recognition system recognizes a plurality of subchannel modulation types. Since there are many different subchannel modulation types in use today, small tactical weapons systems must recognize a number of different signals. Once certain parameters describing each subchannel modulation type are provided to the recognition system, the spectrum analysis of the subchannel modulation types is stored for subsequent use. This system provides for recognizing various FSK signals, PSK signals and OOK signals, as well as being adaptable to tracking other signals which are defined in terms of certain parameters. |

An optical transmission system comprises a light source, which may be coherent or incoherent, a first optical interferometer wherein light from the source is modulated, an optical path, which may be either free space or an optical fiber, along which the modulated output of the first interferometer is propagated, a second interferometer wherein light received from the optical path is demodulated, and a photodetector to which the demodulated output is applied. Typically the first interferometers is a Fabry-Perot etalon, the length of the resonant cavity of which can be altered to modulate light applied thereto. |

Two separate signals are derived as indicative of the information content of each of a plurality of discrete time samples of an input waveform. One of these signals effectively constitutes a stretching of the respective sample, and hence of the input waveform, by designating the deviation of the sample amplitude (or other selected parameter) from an unknown one of a set of discretely increasing reference levels greater in number than two, in a magnified format. The second signal designates the reference level with respect to which the deviation pertains, and thus resolves the ambiguity associated with the first signal. The first and second signals, or an appropriate combination thereof, are impressed on a carrier for transmission to a remote receiving station. Accompanying noise resulting from transmission is compressed in a ratio equal to the ratio of compression of the first signal at the receiving station, to reconstruct the original waveform.
