| Abstract: |
This proposal presents a novel method for implementing a bank of notch filters at the output of a wideband high power amplifier that are each independently agilely adjustable in bandwidth and center frequency from VHF to L band. The technique offers the capability of achieving notch bandwidths as narrow as a single legacy communications channel with extremely low RF passband insertion loss and very low reflection in both the passband and the stopband. |
| Benefits: |
The development of the proposed notch filter technique will allow blue force radio receivers to maintain reception range in the presence of interference from nearby high power radio transmitters such as jammers or cosite communications equipment. |
