This equipment grant was awarded for the purpose of upgrading our researchcapability in the areas of signal processing and analysis, on which we have beenactive for over ten years primarily under AFOSR sponsorship. At the beginning of theequipment grant period we had no laboratory associated with our research; we nowpossess a very useful laboratory facility, the SIGNAL PROCESSING RESEARCHLABORATORY, which has been established in two rooms made available to us in theelectrical engineering department. An industrial cash grant was obtained to meet thepower supply and air conditioning costs for the laboratory. The total area of thefacility is approximately 800 square feet and houses the hardware which has beenacquired under the equipment grant.

The two main hardware systems that have been possible through this grant are:

1) A VAX 11/750 minicomputer system with 4Mb of main memory, afloating point accelerator, communication ports, two 456 Mb disk drives,a tape drive, four terminals including two graphics terminals, two printersand two plotters;

2) An image display and graphics controller (Raster Tech) with two colormonitors, which is interfaced to the VAX and to a DEC Rainbowmicrocomputer, and a video camera with a frame grabber resident on anIBM PC XT microcomputer for image capture.

Additional pieces of hardware acquired under this grant include a digital signalprocessing development system installed in an IBM PC XT microcomputer, an IBMPC AT microcomputer, communication modems and printers.

A primary need that the new laboratory has been serving very well is that of areasonably powerful computational and simulation facility which can be coupleddirectly to signal processing hardware. Another major function of this laboratory is toprovide image processing facilities which have turned out to greatly enhance ourresearch activity in the applications of new signal processing ideas in this importantarea. The signal processing research laboratory is currently supporting the needs offour faculty members (Profs. Kassam, Ansari, Berkowitz and Kritikos) and tengraduate students, working primarily on AFOSR sponsored research and on otherrelated research programs supported by ONR. In the area of statistical and digitalsignal processing this laboratory is supporting research in nonlinear and adaptivefiltering techniques, nonparametric and robust detection and filtering,multidimensional digital filters, spectrum estimation, and computationally efficientalgorithms in signal processing. In the area of electromagnetic analysis theequipment is supporting work in three-dimensional EM imaging, design of smartsignal processing antenna arrays, and other related concepts.

The computer facility is operated entirely by the users themselves. Maintenanceand software costs are being met by laboratory fees charged to grants and contracts,as well as from industrial sources of gifts and grants. In fact, one very positive resultof the establishment of this laboratory is that industrial equipment and cash gifts havebeen easier to get.

This laboratory has proved to be a tremendous resource to us. We are hopingthat we will be able to continue to keep it efficient and current through the addition ofnew hardware and software, for which we are always seeking new funds and giftsfrom various sources.

The attached set of copies of viewgraphs are from a recent talk that we haveprepared describing our primary research areas at the laboratory.
