Tuning Solids for RF Transmission
Abstract
Electromagnetic weapons in the radiofrequency range (100-MHz to 300-GHz) at on-target power densities that induce tenths- to ones-of-volts onto a printed circuit board trace (hereafter highpower microwaves or HPM) represent a single event effect (SEE) threat to microelectronics and their downstream applications. A solid that can quickly change its state of transmission, to block or pass HPM over the full frequency range, by a pragmatic mechanism, would find application in counter HPM and other DoD missions. This white paper presents a research program, which aims to address the challenge of tuning the microscopic properties of solids for control of HPM transmission using pragmatically applied mechanisms.
