Description
Instantaneous Communication Systems
Background
Radar and IFF (identification, friend or foe) systems have been designed since their inception in World War II to utilize the waves that originate in their transmitting antennas, take a time interval d/c to reach the target, and another time interval d/c to return to the transmitting antenna (d= distance to target, c= speed of light).
Tech Overview
Researchers at theUniversity of Hawaii are studying solutions to the electromagnetic field equations for these systems. Their work has revealed another interaction between target and transmitter that is instantaneous and appears as a signal induced in the transmitting antenna simultaneous with the transmission of the transmitter’s outgoing pulses. This instantaneous signalfrom the target can also be modulated at the target to provide for the transmission of data from the target to the transmitter without time delay relative to the outgoing pulses from the transmitter.
