Electronic Component Technology
Abstract
This project focuses on the electronics and optoelectronics to generate, control, receive, and process electromagnetic spectrum for aerospace sensor and electronic warfare applications. The enabling technologies developed under this project will be used for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, battlespace access, and precision engagement capabilities. The technologies developed include exploratory electronic and optoelectronic device concepts; solid state power devices and amplifiers; low noise and signal control components; photonic components; high-temperature electronics; signal control and distribution; signal processing; multi-function monolithic integrated circuits; high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to- analog mixed mode integrated circuits; reconfigurable electronics; power distribution; multi-chip modules; and high density packaging and interconnect technologies. This project also designs, develops, fabricates, and evaluates techniques for integrating combinations of these component technologies. The project aims to demonstrate significantly smaller size, lower weight, lower cost, lower power dissipation, higher reliability, trustworthiness and improved performance. The device and subsystem technology developments under this project are military unique; they are based on Air Force and other Department of Defense weapon systems requirements in the areas of radar, communications, electronic warfare, navigation, and smart weapons.
