Research abstract
Space Micro has developed three innovations addressing size and IP3/linearity needed in the JTRS software defined radio. These monolithic solutions are expected to be size and cost effective and realized with practical manufacturing methods. The innovations are a High Dynamic Range Digitally Tunable RF Preselector (TRaPr), a High Q, digitally tuned and Controlled OverModed Resonator RF Preselector (COMbeR) and Enhanced dynamic range Sampling IF filter (eSIF). These innovations provide high dynamic range and high breakdown voltage switches, low loss and parasitic switches for switched capacitor arrays and high Q size reduced inductors, all together providing a suite of tunable filters with a high dynamic range (>+40 dBm) applications below 450 MHz, but will be developed for higher frequencies as well (through L band). Size/volume is expected to scale by 30% from conventional inductor design.
