Cryogenic RF Excision System (CRES) for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Cancellation

In this program, we will develop a concept for CRES to meet the EMI rejection and insertion loss requirements of the application. We will define a full set of specifications for the CRES technology that meets a current or future operational need. We will demonstrate through simulation a CRES architecture that can be used for removal of co-channel interference with minimal insertion loss. We will then design and optimize a power diverter (the key CRES component) to minimize the size and maximize the performance. In the Phase I option, we will fabricate a miniaturized power diverter, so that initial parameter measurements can be made. We will then outline the technical risks for Phase II. We will then have all of the building blocks to develop a CRES prototype in Phase II.
