Research abstract
AN ELECTRO-OPTIC METHOD WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF RANDOM-PULSE, ULTRA WIDEBAND SIGNALS. THE SYSTEM BANDWIDTH IS EXPECTED TO BE UP TO 1,000 GHZ, AND NO CIRCUIT INTEGRATION IS NECESSARY. NO BULKY LASER WILL BE USED. THE PROPOSED WORKWILL INCLUDE A FEASIBILITY STUDY, DETERMINATION OF OPERATING PARAMETERS (MINIMUM DETECTABLE SIGNAL, BANDWIDTH, DYNAMIC RANGE) AND A PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE EXPERIMENT. THE TOTAL COST WILL BE $49,310 AND THE WORK WILL LAST SIX MONTHS. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS/POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS - A NEW DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT METHOD FOR RANDOM-PULSE, ULTRA-WIDEBAND SIGNALS WILL BE DEVELOPED. IT WILL FILL A TECHNOLOGY GAP WHICH NOW EXISTS FROM APPROXIMATELY 10 GHZ AND BEYOND. THE MAIN MILITARY BENEFITS WILL BE IN FREE-AIR COMMUNICATIONS IN THE MICROWAVE/MILLIMETER WAVE RANGE.
