Polarized Rotation Modulation (PRZM)

The goal of the Polarized Rotation Modulation (PRZM) Communications program is to develop new extremely high data rate, point-to-point, and wireless communications using the PZRM communications concept which can be implemented at any wavelength - RF to visible - to exploit the presently unused polarization and rotation dimensions of radiation. The PRZM communications program will investigate the use of polarization modulation and the ability for conventional radios to carry all information over the transmitted signal amplitude, phase and frequency. Polarization modulation introduces an additional dimension. A radio with four polarization possibilities would transmit four times the information with all other aspects of the waveform held constant. Use of the antenna as part of the information processing architecture of a radio has not been previously performed. This technology will greatly increase the capability of existing channels without increase in spectrum or modem complexity. The program will be demonstrated as an enhancement to an otherwise state of the art networking system.
