Conformal Wideband Phased Array Transmitter for Jammers (1000-092) Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-018 Topic Title: Conformal Wideband Phased Array Transmitter for Jammers (1000-092) Proposal No.: N081-018-0360 Firm: SI2 Technologies 267 Boston Road North Billerica, Massachusetts 01862 Contact: Patanjali Parimi Phone: (978) 495-5300 Web Site: www.si2technologies.com Abstract: SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to leverage its expertise in conformal wideband antenna arrays and metamaterial technologies to develop a high power jamming transmitter operating from UHF to Ka band. SI2's proposed concept is to utilize its Direct Write and Laser Transfer conformal manufacturing technology and a novel wideband array based on a metamaterial. The resulting wideband, high power, low profile array transmitter will be capable of deployment on a number of DoD platforms to increase their performance capabilities. To develop the high power broadband (multi decade) jamming transmitters and accelerate transition of the technology, SI2 has teamed with a prime contractor who will provide system requirements and implementation opportunities. The Phase I program will demonstrate the performance of the wideband conformal array through state-of-the-art modeling and simulation. The follow-on Phase II program will refine the design and develop a wideband high power transmitter array prototype. Testing of the prototype will validate the simulation and the conformal array transmitter performance capabilities. Benefits: Developing an efficient high power transmitter array capable of being integrated with a number of DoD platforms will provide both volume and weight reductions while increasing their capabilities. Commercial applications of SI2's proprietary technology are numerous and include automotive, aircraft, satellites and marine applications. Return
