Graphical User Interface And Microprocessor Control Enhancement Of A Pseudorandom Code Generator, John M. Kos Mar 1999

Graphical User Interface And Microprocessor Control Enhancement Of A Pseudorandom Code Generator, John M. Kos

Theses and Dissertations

Modern digital communication techniques often require the generation of pseudorandom numbers or sequences. The ability to quickly and easily produce various codes such as maximal length codes, Gold codes, Jet Propulsion Laboratory ranging codes, syncopated codes, and non-linear codes in a laboratory environment is essential. This thesis addresses the issue of providing automated computer control to previously built, manually controlled hardware incorporating the Stanford Telecom STEL-1032 Pseudo-Random Number (PRN) Coder. By incorporating a microcontroller into existing hardware, the STEL-1032 can now be conveniently controlled from a MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI). The user can quickly create, save, and recall various …


Transforming Aggregate Object-Oriented Formal Specifications To Code, John A. Kissack Mar 1999

Transforming Aggregate Object-Oriented Formal Specifications To Code, John A. Kissack

Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of a transformational formal-based software engineering tool has been the focus of AFIT research for several years. Until now, the main research emphasis has been placed on the individual components that would comprise such a transformational system; therefore, this research demonstrates how a representative collection of aggregate objects would be transformed from specification to code. The research focused on critical integration issues associated with a formal-based software transformation system, such as the source specification, the problem space architecture, design architecture, design transforms, and target software transforms. Software is critical in today's Air Force, yet its specification, design, and …
