Research abstract
HYPRES is pleased to propose the development of an ultra-low noise amplifier (LNA) based on superconductor quantum interference filter (SQIF) technology which will lead to a significant reduction of SATCOM antenna cost, size, weight, and power (SWaP) while preserving the same G/T. Furthermore, we plan to integrate the SQIF-based LNA with HYPRES all-digital receiver, similar to that recently demonstrated at TRL-6 with an Army JSEC X-band terminal. In this Phase II project, we will also integrate the SQIF-based LNA with a Ka-band digital receiver being concurrently developed under another Army SBIR project.
