High Performance Tunable Filter for the Elimination of Cosite Interference Using Novel Low Loss Ferroelectric Varactors

Not Available The need to add wireless capability to many different types of devices continues to grow. This has been primarily due to the need to add mobility to devices or due to the high cost of installing and maintaining cabling between separate pieces of equipment. A focus on new radio frequency (RF) circuit design is required that meets the functional, physical, and environmental requirements of these applications. A miniature radio transceiver that can support the WICS requirement and that can be adapted to meet the requirements of many other target applications, both military and commercial, is described in this proposal. Key areas of reliability are identified that ensure the design can be manufactured in significant quantities. The engineering team's experience in producing RF circuits for high-rel military products makes it particularly capable of producing a solution for the WICS and other government applications.
