Research in Digital Communications.

Research included efforts in several areas of digital communications, namely spread-spectrum code design and sync acquisition, burst communications, network synchronization, radar pulse compression designs, communication over messy channels, and certain topics in system theory and signal processing. Significant progress has been made in most of these areas, with virtually none of the proposed problems having been found totally intractable. Throughout the duration of this contract, the reporting objective has been to place research results in the open literature where they will be available to all. Accordingly, this final report consists in large measure of a listing of papers produced under this contract, along with their abstracts.
