Fully Integrated Micro Sensor IMU

Integrated Sensors Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate techniques that effect practical, operationally meaningful, spatial and spectral nulls to mitigate interfering own-ship RF sources for high-resolution antennas used in shipboard electronic warfaresystems as a way of maintaining high system performance within complex, dense RF tactical environments. A comprehensive Phase I and Phase II program is described with this goal in mind. Upon successful completion of the Phase I effort, ISI will havedeveloped an architecture which will provide a practical spatial/spectral own-ship RFI cancellation approach. Computer simulations predicting performance against narrowband and wideband own-ship RFI will provide the primary validation mechanism. Thiseffort will provide substantial evidence of feasibility by identifying techniques, requirements and system trades validating the approaches. Measures of performance and measures of effectiveness will be developed to provide a basis for performancecomparison. Extension of existing simulations will provide validation and evidence of feasibility of the resultant spatial and spectral rejection techniques against own-ship emitters during the Phase I effort. The Phase II effort is designed to validatethe Phase I design in laboratory and antenna range field tests using efficient signal processing techniques.The technology developed can become an integral part of many future EW and passive sensor designs for both military and commercial applications. Avariety of applications for shipboard, airborne, spaceborne and ground based passive receive systems can significantly benefit. Commercial applications for communications systems will also benefit from this technology development.
