| Abstract: |
In this program, we will assess the technical feasibility and the risks of three novel approaches that will allow the division of the 30-88 MHz frequency band into a minimum of 30 channels with a minimum of 30 dB channel isolation (band center to band center). For each approach, we will conduct computer modeling and demonstrate that this multiplexer can theoretically be built. We will then develop a plan on how this multiplexer would be built to meet the performance and size requirements. Finally, we will explore the technologies to design any components identified as key challenging components. Successful completion of this effort will form a solid foundation for building and testing an engineering prototype in Phase II. |
| Benefits: |
This multiplexer technology could be used by the cellular telephone industry to connect several transmitters to the same antenna, increasing the number of transmit channels that could be coupled to one antenna. This technology could be used to provide situational awareness for a variety of homeland security and Coast Guard applications. |
