Research abstract
QorTek plans to utilize commercial RF communication chipsets paired with state of the art GaN-based RF amplifiers as to deliver a novel solution that is form fact compatible with legacy equipment yet will allow the Navy to realize target >500MBPS data transmission rates without any need to replace existing towed sonar cabling. The solution has distinct advantages of having a well-supported supply chain and furnishing the Navy with a direct drop-in replacement for existing older designed data transmission equipment.
