Space laser communications technology has been under development for over thirty years. The technology promises high capacity, low power consumption, light weight, small sizes and low costs for satellite crosslinks. It will be a key and critical building block for wide area space networks, supporting mobile users (terrestrial, airborne and spaceborne), high speed data services for small satellite terminals and serving as a backbone network for high speed trunking.

Prof. Ralph E. Hiatt was instrumental in designing the first anechoic chamber at the Radiation Laboratory Willow Run Facility of the University of Michigan. During the nineteen sixties it was one of the largest such facilities in the world. It is therefore appropriate to describe some of the basic RCS measurements, such as these wires, carried out in this chamber. A set of back scattering patterns was measured for a thin (metallic) wire (a/λ, = 6.27x10-3) for 1/λ. = 0.3(0.25)0.5(0.5)1.60(0.10)5.42, where a is the radius of the wire, 1 is the wire length, and λ is the wavelength. From the set of patterns a number of curves were extracted showing the amplitude and phase of each back scattering lobe as a function of the wire length. These curves provide a convenient means of cross section estimation and may be used to reconstruct with reasonable accuracy the back scattering pattern for any value of I/λ, 1/λ, ≤ 5.42. These data have been found useful in studies dealing with scattering form composite geometrical shapes where it is often found useful to compare the back scattering patterns with those of a thin wire, especially in the resonance region. Figure 1 gives a block diagram of a CW system used for the measurement. The frequency was 2.710 Ghz (λ, = 11.07), the polarization horizontal, and the distance for the transmit/receive antenna to the model was about 30 feet. Since no distinguishable differences between the back scattering patterns of similar rods of aluminum and silverplated stainless steel rods were observed, it was decided to use aluminum rods of 1/32 inch radius and variable length for the present study. Figure 2 gives a typical back scattering pattern for 1/λ = 5.221. A series of such patterns were obtained for various 1/λ.. The important feature of these back scattering patterns are the amplitudes and displacements of various lobes as a function of wire length. Figure 3 gives a familiar curve for broadside back scattering cross section vs. 1/λ. Other se
We extend the notion of linearity testing to the task of checking linear-consistency of multiple functions. Informally, functions are "linear" if their graphs form straight lines on the plane. Two such funct...

A new surface integral formulation and discretization approach for computing electromagnetoquasistatic impedance of general conductors is described. The key advantages of the formulation is that it avoids volume discretization of the conductors and the substrate, and a single discretization is accurate over the entire frequency range. Computational results from an on-chip inductor, a connector and a transmission line are used to show that the formulation is accurate and is "acceleration" ready. That is, the results demonstrate that an efficiently computed preconditioner insures rapid iterative method convergence and tests with projection show the required kernels can be approximated easily using a coarse grid.

A new technique for improving the estimation of conduction velocity distributions (CVDs) over a short segment of nerve is investigated experimentally. The technique involves normalizing the nerve-to-electrode transfer functions (NETFs) at a plurality of closely spaced recording sites. CVD's are estimated from short-segment nerve recordings before and after NETF normalization and the results are compared with a long-distance CVD estimated from the same nerve. Normalization is found to dramatically improve short-distance CVD and to substantially duplicate the long-distance estimate.

A theoretical model based on the basic electronic band structure of bulk Bi is developed to predict the dependence of the band structure and thermoelectric properties on the nanowire width. By carefully tailoring the Bi wire size and carrier concentration, substantial enhancement in the thermoelectric figure of merit is expected for small (/spl les/10 nm) nanowire widths.
We present adaptively-secure efficient solutions to several central problems in the area of threshold cryptography. We prove these solutions to withstand adaptive attackers that choose parties for corruption at any ti...

Recent advances in our understanding of 1D and 2D thermoelectric materials in the form of quantum wires (1D) and quantum wells (2D) are reviewed, with emphasis given to the physical mechanisms responsible for the enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in these low dimensional systems. Starting with 2D superlattices, progress in demonstrating proof-of-principle in the PbTe/Pb/sub 1-x/Eu/sub x/Te and Si/Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ systems is presented. The concept of carrier pocket engineering regarding improved thermoelectric performance for the whole superlattice Z/sub 3D/T, including both the quantum well and the barrier region, is reviewed. Particular attention is given to recent results obtained for 1D bismuth nanowire arrays and for individual Bi nanowires.
