Co-site Interference Mitigation for VHF/UHF Communications Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-093 Topic Title: Co-site Interference Mitigation for VHF/UHF Communications Proposal No.: N081-093-0802 Firm: MagiQ Technologies, Inc. 11 Ward Street Somerville, Massachusetts 02143-4214 Contact: Michael LaGasse Phone: (617) 661-8300 Web Site: http://www.magiqtech.com Abstract: MagiQ Technologies is proposing a breakthrough approach to co-site antenna interference cancellation using optical signal processing. The method is based on a series of four patents that were developed when working on co-site interference issues on military aircraft. The VHF/UHF band is ideally suited for this application, because the optical components have recently been developed that give the required noise figure (NF), spur-free dynamic range (SFDR), and cancellation performance. Benefits: This method applies to any system that requires co-site interference reduction, including cell phone towers, commercial aircraft and airport communication infrastructure. Return
