Exploiting the substantive reciprocity of internode channel responses through dynamic, adaptive modification of receive and transmit weights, enables locally enabled global optimization of a multipoint, wireless electromagnetic communications network of communication nodes. Each diversity-channel-capable node uses computationally efficient exploitation of pilot tone data and diversity-adaptive signal processing of the weightings and the signal to further convey optimization and channel information which promote local and thereby network-global efficiency. The preferred embodiment performs complex digital signal manipulation that includes a linear combining and linear distribution of the transmit and receive weights, the generation of piloting signals containing origination and destination node information, as well as interference-avoiding pseudorandom delay timing, and both symbol and multitione encoding, to gain the benefit of substantive orthogonality at the physical level without requiring actual substantive orthogonality at the physical level.

In a matrix multiplication in which each element of the resultant matrix is the dot product of a row of a first matrix and a column of a second matrix, each row and column can be broken into manageable blocks, with each block loaded in turn to compute a smaller dot product, and then the results can be added together to obtain the desired row-column dot product. The earliest results for each dot product are saved for a number of clock cycles equal to the number of portions into which each row or column is divided. The results are then added to provide an element of the resultant matrix. To avoid repeated loading and unloading of the same data, all multiplications involving a particular row-block can be performed upon loading that row-block, with the results cached until other multiplications for the resultant elements that use the cached results are complete.

A dynamic load fixture (DLF) applies a torsion load to a unit under test (UUT) to achieve the demanding aerodynamic load exposures encountered by a control actuation system (CAS) in flight. Instead of fixing the end of the torsion bar, the DLF controls the application of torque to the torsion bar, hence the UUT via a DLF motor. The dynamic load can be independent of the angular rotation of the UUT, which allows the DLF to more effectively reproduce desired acceptance tests such as torque-at-rate and nonlinear loads. Furthermore, application of the loads through a torsion bar allows the system the compliance needed to generate precise loads while allowing for the flexibility of changing torsion bars to test a wide variety of UUT on one test platform. To achieve the demanding aerodynamic load exposures encountered by a CAS in flight, the controller must be able to respond both very fast and very precisely. Control is enhanced by the thorough characterization of the DLF and application of either “classic” negative feedback control or “modern” state-space control methods of linear observers and quadratic optimum control.
