SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of patent application(s): Systems and methods of
embodiments provide a feasible approach to implementing Far-Field
Radiated Emission Design (FFRED) techniques suitable for simultaneous
transmission of radar and communication signals. A set of signals for
transmission and a transmission direction for each signal of the set of
signals may be determined. The set of signals includes at least a first
signal associated with a first transmission direction and a second
signal associated with a second transmission direction that is
different from the first direction. An optimization problem is
configured based on characteristics of an antenna array and the set of
signals and then solved to identify a set of waveforms suitable for
transmitting the signals. The set of waveforms may include at least two
waveforms, each of the at least two waveforms configured for
transmission by a different antenna element of the antenna array. The
determined waveforms may be coherent in the far-field and suitable for
power efficient transmission.
Intellectual property: U.S. Patent No. 12,320,885 issued on June 3,
2025, and entitled Physical Waveform Optimization For Multiple-Beam
Multifunction Digital Arrays, and U.S. Continuation Patent Application
No. 19/214,006 filed on June 3, 2025, and entitled Physical Waveform
Optimization For Multiple-Beam Multifunction Digital Arrays.
The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed
license.
(Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.)

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
