Research abstract
HIGH-SPEED, DIGITAL-SIGNAL PROCESSING AND DETECTION TECHNIQUES TO DOWNCONVERT AND PROCESS KA-KU-X AND S-BAND SIGNALS ARE NEEDED. A GAAS INTEGRATED-CIRCUIT VERSION OF A SAMPLING MIXER WILL BE INVESTIGATED FOR THIS PURPOSE. A CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION WILL BE DEFINED FOR S-AND X-BAND CHIPS, AND SPECIFICATIONS NECESSARY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHIP DURING A FOLLOW-ON PHASE WILL BE DEFINED. CIRCUIT IMPLICATIONS AND DESIGN OPTIONS FOR EXTENDING THE WORK TO KU- AND KA-BAND REGIONS WILL BE STUDIED.
