Research abstract
STABLE WIDE-BAND SIGNAL SOURCES ARE KEY COMPONENTS IN RADAR AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. ULTRA-WIDEBAND DIRECT DIGITAL SYNTHESIS OF COMPLEX WAVEFORMS USING SUPERCONDUCTING JOSEPHSON JUNCTION LOGIC TECHNOLOGY IS PROPOSED, PROJECTING A TEN-FOLD IMPROVEMENT IN BANDWIDTH OVER THE CURRENT GAAS BASED DIRECT DIGITAL SYNTHESIZERS. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL INCLUDE THE OPTIMIZATIONOF THE DDS ARCHITECTURE FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN SUPERCONDUCTING TECHNOLOGY, DETAILED CIRCUIT DESIGNS, SYSTEM PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL, PACKAGING DESIGNS, AND COOLING.
