Microwaves and Magnetics (M&M)
Abstract
Passive magnetic components such as frequency selective limiters (FSL), isolators, circulators, phase shifters and filters are integral to numerous military electronic systems in applications including radar, imaging, communications, and electronic warfare. However, the rate of development and level of integration in microwave and mm-wave magnetic components have severely lagged the corresponding advancements and monolithic integration of semiconductor, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and optical active devices. In some cases the magnetic technologies have changed little in the past 20 to 30 years. The Microwaves and Magnetics program will leverage advanced magnetic components leading to disruptive improvements in system performance and novel functionality; and it will drive advances in materials science, materials processing, and in component design, modeling, integration, and fabrication leading to disruptive technologies that will ensure control of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. This targeted program in advanced and integrated RF/microwave magnetic components will enable the improvements needed for the next generation of DoD electronic systems. This program has advanced technology development efforts funded in PE 0603739E, Project MT-15.
