Computer Analysis of Signal in the Noise A Jupiter Space Station Project Abstract
This computer signal analysis project explores the premise for different ways of communicating outside of our solar system using natural methods of transmitting information to planets in nearby star systems; and correspondingly to test a different strategy for receiving information from our local galactic neighborhood. This work is part of SASER?, Solar Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation, which investigates the effect, if any, that weak, transmitted microwave signals have on the solar radio continuum; with the possibility of receiving these signals back on Earth.
The analysis presented is based upon the concept of isolating monophonic signals in the noise, without having knowledge of any signal patterns. The software algorithms employ signal runs test analysis for noise reduction and signal identification.
This presentation presents preliminary data on identifying weak signals at the noise floor of signals injected into random noise. This identification technique, using a suite of C++ programs and a DSP class object, will increase the probability of deciphering weak signals from space sources, and is a cornerstone process for attempting to execute the SASER? research plan found at http://members.carol.net/~saser.
