Radio Frequency (RF) Systems and Technologies
Abstract
: The Radio Frequency (RF) Systems and Technologies project area focuses on research, development, and evaluation of innovative RF technologies and concepts in anticipation of DoD and intelligence community requirements for radar, signals intelligence (SIGINT), communications, and electronic-warfare (EW) applications. Key RF challenges include a rapidly expanding threat spectrum, platforms with severely constrained payloads, operations in strong clutter and interference environments, detection of difficult targets, and robustness against sophisticated electronic attack. RF technologies of interest include antennas, filters, transmit/receive modules (high-power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, phase shifter, time domain up-sampling), beamformers (analog, digital, photonic), receivers/exciters (local oscillator, mixers, filters, analog-to-digital converter, digital-to-analog converter), and novel RF packaging concepts. RF systems concepts that address novel analog/digital/photonic architectures and signal processing techniques for improved RF performance are also of interest.
