While implementing and evaluating this prot...

Chapter C-XV-1 Complementary Waveforms for Sidelobe Suppression and Radar Polarimetry

Advances in active sensing are enabled by the ability to control new degrees of freedom and each new generation of radar platforms requires fundamental advances in radar signal processing [1],[2]. The advent of phased array radars and space-time adaptive processing have given radar designers the ability to make radars adaptable on receive [2]. Modern radars are increasingly being equipped with ...

Xv. Neurophysiology*

Resting squid nerve membrane actively extrudes Na+ against a large concentration gradient, while another cation, K + , is concentrated passively within the cell by the Donnan equilibrium. During the passage of an impulse, large transient current flows across the membrane; some K + leaves, some Na + enters, but which ions carry the current at which instant, and how it is turned on and off cannot...
