ADVANCED PROCESSING ELECTRONIC ATTACK (EA) Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-036 Topic Title: ADVANCED PROCESSING ELECTRONIC ATTACK (EA) Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) Proposal No.: N121-036-0487 Firm: SA Photonics 130A Knowles Dr. Suite A Los Gatos, California 95032-1832 Contact: Dave Pechner Phone: (408) 781-7416 Web Site: www.saphotonics.com Abstract: In order to support radio frequency memory (RFM) type operations with state of the art Radar systems, there is a need for an ultra-wideband RFM with high spectral purity. To address this need for an ultra-wideband RFM system with high spectral purity, SA Photonics proposes an advanced Optical Radio Frequency Memory (ORFM) architecture based on several proprietary techniques. SA Photonics ORFM provides extremely high dynamic range that is unmatched by other approaches. In addition, we have a flexible architecture that is able to support true-time delay applications as well as advanced electronic counter measure techniques. Fine time granularity and long time delays are supported in order to support a wide variety of applications. Benefits: SA Photonics ORFM provides wideband RF operation with an extremely high dynamic range. Flexible operation will support both true time delay applications as well ECM modes. Low SWaP and compact size supports operation on a wide variety of Navy airborne platforms. While designed for RF memory applications, the same technology can be used for wideband RF distribution and transmission on a variety of Naval vessels, including Submarines and Surface ships. This multi-use technology will provide a wide range of benefits to military and commercial applications. Return
