Research abstract
State of the art high power and low noise technology is proposed to build a high frequency solid state transceiver in an ultra-compact volume. The unit takes advantage of rapid advances in the ever-evolving wireless technology base to lower costs andimprove manufacturability. Transceiver architecture studies will be initiated to optimize the unit's performance for wide bandwidth needs in both government and commercial applications. High frequency RF technology is constantly evolving into new areasand applications as the technology base progresses. Digital communication radios, wideband optoelectronic systems, and military radars all benefit from improvements in power output and noise figure as new innovations come about. Progress also bringsreduction in component volume which allows higher packing density and reduced weight requirements for systems.
