Transversal Radio Frequency Filter Integrated Circuit (TRAFFIC)
Abstract
TRAFFIC is a general-purpose, high-performance transversal filter monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) in silicon germanium (SiGe) for direct-throughput processing of RF signals in the microwave and millimeter wave spectrum. This technology is a central component necessary to advance the emerging class of systems that perform analog signal processing, with the promise of greatly reducing the SWaP of RF front-ends while providing broadband instantaneous reconfigurability and multi-function RF capability. This core technology is expected to accomplish a diverse set of tasks, including tunable RF front-end filtering, pre-linearization of signals for amplifier saturation compensation, and direct throughput matched filtering. These capabilities are critical for a number of EW and communications applications.
