A Study of Sub-MMW Systems and Component Requirements

Abstract

Three system concepts were identified that require a significant component development effort above 100 GHz -- 1) Look-down ISR into urban canyons, 2) All-weather obstacle avoidance, & 3) Concealed weapons detection. The program objective is to develope a sub-aperture transceiver to enable imaging at sub-MMW frequencies. Development of a single sub-aperture will allow forming arrays for each application
