Wideband High-Dynamic Arbitrary Signal Generator for Electronic Warfare Integrated Systems Research
Abstract
ABSTRACT Wideband High-Dynamic Arbitrary Signal Generator for Electronic Warfare Integrated Systems Research This proposal requests for the equipment purchase that will substantially impact major research programs that are funded by various DoD agencies, specifically, those with Electronic Warfare (EW) applications supported by Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The proposed instrument enables characterization of various integrated circuits and systems with wide instantaneous bandwidth and high dynamic range. Specific examples of research activities that directly benefit from the aforementioned instrumentation include digital wireless transmitters, mixed-signal wireless receivers, reconfigurable and software programmable wireless transceivers, and high-resolution data converters, etc. for EW applications that include high dynamicrange Digital Radio-Frequency Memory (DRFM), self-synchronized and distributed Electronic Attack (EA), wideband Electronic Sensing (ES), and Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (CREW). The instrument augments existing capabilities at the University of Southern California (USC) related to experimental research in the area of high-performance integrated circuits and systems, and enables future DoD related research with emphasis on systems with instantaneously wide bandwidth. The expected instrument lifetime is 10 years.
