Wideband Interference Suppresion

In this program, we propose to develop a novel tunable notch filter.  We will then fabricate the filter design. We will test the filter to characterize its performance. Finally, we will make estimates of the filter’s performance over the full IBW. In the Option, we will continue to optimize the design of the novel tunable notch filter.  Further measurements will also be made to test the prototype with a wider variety of signals of interest and interferers. Successful completion of these tasks will give us the building blocks to then construct a novel tunable notch filter prototype in Phase II to demonstrate its wideband interference suppression capabilities. The Phase I filter prototype designs will be utilized in Phase II to validate simulation findings and determine the best approach for continuing efforts. We will then develop a proof of concept prototype system. Upon successful completion of Phase II, a prototype would then be developed and delivered to the government for performance testing in Phase III. The company will prepare a Phase III development plan to transition the technology to Navy use.
