Research abstract
The US Navy has a demand for agile, millimeter-wave (mmW) technologies that provide high-capacity communication links while maintaining low probability of detection/intercept (LPD/LPI). In response to this need, MaXentric is proposing a mm-wave beamforming system codenamed MAX-BEAMS. During the proposed Phase I effort, MaXentric will leverage its experience developing a variety of beamforming, millimeter-wave, and high bandwidth communication systems to thoroughly exercise the system tradespace through design, simulation, and mmW hardware testing. This effort will culminate in a detailed prototype blueprint and will be complimented with a Phase I hardware demonstration. MAX-BEAMS will provide the Navy with a flexible, high-capacity communication solution that meets future airborne communication needs.
