Agile, Robust and Concurrent Cross-Correlation From HF Through Ka Band Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-068 Topic Title: Agile, Robust and Concurrent Cross-Correlation From HF Through Ka Band Proposal No.: N081-068-1171 Firm: FTL Systems, Inc. 1620 Greenview DR SW Rochester, Minnesota 55902 Contact: John Willis Phone: (507) 288-3154 Web Site: http://www.ftlsystems.com Abstract: Cross-correlation technology investigated in this effort improve electronic warfare and signals intelligence capability relative to that which is known to be deployed. Agility enables detection of new threats followed by rapid, in-theater generation of robust detection templates. Robust templates and detection systems identify and track threats across many changes in relative locations, velocity, acceleration, propagation medium, encodings and number of concurrent emitters. Use of low-temperature receiver and correlation technology increases both the concurrent search bandwidth (HF to 40GHz) and sensitivity beyond alternative room temperature approaches. The algorithmic techniques could be implemented at room temperature with reduced capability. Benefits: FTL Systems expects to rapidly apply this effort to the automated testing of microwave electronics (6GHz to beyond 40GHz) based on their internal business requirements. Hypres, our collaborator, has focus on the wireless market with interest and connections to apply the resulting technology to improve signal quality within wireless data or voice network. Return
