Ultra Wide Band Signal Modeling for Radar Receiver Characterization
Results for modeling, simulation, and analysis of interference effects that modern wideband signals have on existing narrowband radar system performance are presented. In particular, radar detection performance is characterized using a basic radar receiver model and operational parameters consistent with those of the ARSR-4 air route surveillance radar. Two modern wideband signals (interferers) are addressed in this work, including the GPS military signal (M-Code signal) and a direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) waveform meeting outdoor emission restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Interference effects are characterized for an unmodulated sinusoidal pulse, as well as, linear frequency modulated (LFM) and bi-phase Barker coded pulse compression waveforms. Finally, coherent pulse integration is addressed and interference mitigation demonstrated via improved detection performance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Edge/Fog Computing Technologies for IoT Infrastructure
The prevalence of smart devices and cloud computing has led to an explosion in the amount of data generated by IoT devices. Moreover, emerging IoT applications, such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), intelligent transportation systems, and smart factories require ultra-low latency for data communication and processing. Fog/edge computing is a new computing paradigm where fully distributed fog/edge nodes located nearby end devices provide computing resources. By analyzing, filtering, and processing at local fog/edge resources instead of transferring tremendous data to the centralized cloud servers, fog/edge computing can reduce the processing delay and network traffic significantly. With these advantages, fog/edge computing is expected to be one of the key enabling technologies for building the IoT infrastructure. Aiming to explore the recent research and development on fog/edge computing technologies for building an IoT infrastructure, this book collected 10 articles. The selected articles cover diverse topics such as resource management, service provisioning, task offloading and scheduling, container orchestration, and security on edge/fog computing infrastructure, which can help to grasp recent trends, as well as state-of-the-art algorithms of fog/edge computing technologies.

Test and Evaluation Methods for Human-Machine Interfaces of Automated Vehicles II
With the introduction of automated driving systems (ADSs) and advanced driver assistance systems, the communication of the driver's responsibilities and the AD's capabilities has become an important topic in recent years. For example, partially automated driving (SAE L2) systems need to be able to communicate that the driver is still fully responsible for driving safety, whereas higher levels of vehicle automation need to be able to communicate that the driver has to act as a fallback-ready user in case of system limits and malfunctions (SAE L3). During the same trip, different levels of automation might be available to the driver, making it even more crucial that the driving mode is efficiently displayed. These developments require new, standardized tests and evaluating methods for in-vehicle Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). This Special Issue includes theoretical papers as well as empirical studies that propose new and innovative test methods in the evaluation of ADS HMIs.

Controlling Fringe Sensitivity of Electro-Optic Holography Systems Using Laser Diode Current Modulation
Electro-Optic Holography (EOH) is a non-intrusive, laser-based, displacement measurement technique capable of static and dynamic displacement measurements. EOH is an optical interference technique in which fringe patterns that represent displacement contour maps are generated. At excessively large displacements the fringe density may be so great that individual fringes are not resolvable using typical EOH techniques. This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of a method for controlling the sensitivity of the EOH system. This method is known as Frequency Translated Electro-Optic Holography (FTEOH). It was determined that by modulating the current source of the laser diode at integer multiples of the object vibration, the fringe pattern is governed by higher order Bessel function of the first kind and the number of fringes that represent a given displacement can be controlled. The reduction of fringes is theoretically unlimited but physically limited by the frequency bandwidth of the signal generator, providing modulation to the laser diode. Although this research technique has been verified theoretically and experimentally in this thesis, due to the current laser diode capabilities it is a tedious and time consuming process to acquire data using the FTEOH technique.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy Verification Analysis for Use in the Combustion Optimization and Analysis Laser Laboratory
The AFIT Combustion Optimization and Analysis Laser (COAL) laboratory has state-of-the-art laser diagnostic capability for combustion process. The research for this thesis served to enhance the COAL lab's capability. Currently, there are no known commercially available tunable diode lasers that produce Ultra-Violet radiation required for this analysis. Sum-frequency generation at 313.5 nm was utilized for high speed OH absorption and temperature measurements at a rate of 2kHz. The Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy system was validated by comparison with theoretical and well characterized experimental data by operating the system over a wide range of conditions for an H2 laminar flame produced by a Hencken burner. The TDLAS system was able to perform at reasonable accuracy. After validation, the system was also characterized for a turbulent environment by comparing turbulent and flame structure theory with results obtained from a C2H4/N2 jet flame. The testing was also conducted for a range of conditions and produced reasonable results. The accuracy of the system is sufficient for utilization in investigating behavior in a turbulent, combusting environment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Retroreflector for Photonic Doppler Velocimetry
In order to meet the goals of the Department of Defense (DoD) for smaller and more accurate weapons, the Munitions Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RW) has numerous projects investigating the miniaturization of weapons and munition fuze components. One of these efforts is to characterize the performance of small detonators. The velocity of the flyer, the key component needed to initiate a detonation sequence, can be measured using a photonic Doppler velocimeter (PDV). The purpose of this research was to develop a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that would act as an optimal retroreflective surface for the PDV. Two MEMS solutions were explored: one using the PolyMUMPsTM fabrication process and one in-house fabrication design using silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers.
