| Abstract: |
HYPRES is pleased to propose the development of an all-digital multipath processing receiver for JPALS UHF data link. We propose to take advantage of a unique combination of smart antenna architecture and Digital-RF technique. The realization of this approach will be made possible by using ultra-high performance superconductive electronic technology. The proposed receiver is based on a dual antenna configuration directly followed by high-dynamic range 40 GS/s analog-to-digital modulators which can tolerate high interference levels without saturation. The digitized RF UHF signals are processed in correlation-based rake receiver and their multipaths are combined using high-performance multiplier to eliminate multipath fading. This program will capitalize on prior and continuing DoD programs at HYPRES developing digital-RF receiver systems using superconducting components. |
| Benefits: |
The project will lead to the development of an RF receiver that is capable of operating in high multipath and inteference environment. This receiver will have broad application in military and civilian navigation, communications, air traffic control, and radar systems. |
