Research abstract
In this STTR project, RadiaBeam Technologies and UC Davis will develop an innovative, compact, durable, high unloaded Q (>1000), microwave filter. The filter will be tunable over a wide band (>2 octaves), and can be configured in a bank of filters to cover the range of 20 MHz to 30 GHz. The filter design proposed will be less susceptible to creep-related frequency drift, and promises very long life time, as the tuner is free from static stress. The filter can use simplified frequency control, as it does not need high voltage or energy to retain any given fixed frequency profile. In Phase I, the electromagnetic design of the filter will be optimized, and the closed loop control and voltage supply needed to retain the frequency state will be considered. Detailed simulations will be performed to show tunable performance and applicability for a wide range of military and commercial waveforms.
