Signal Processing at RF (SPAR)
Abstract
The Signal Processing at RF (SPAR) program investigated advanced analog components to process radio frequency (RF) signals for communications, radar, and electronic warfare applications. By using advancements in new semiconductor materials, processing, and novel signal interaction mechanisms, SPAR components were able to pick out friendly RF signals from both intentional and unintentional jamming signals, even when those signals sat on top of one another in frequency. This capability has enabled a range of new applications including communications in contested battlefield RF environments, jamming the RF spectrum while maintaining communication, and full-duplex radio communication.
