High Powered RF Sources Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-127 Topic Title: High Powered RF Sources Proposal No.: N122-127-0526 Firm: InnoSys 2900 South Main Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84115 Contact: Larry Sadwick Phone: (801) 975-7399 Web Site: www.innosystech.com Abstract: It is desirable for the standard Intersystem EMC electromagnetic environments that aircraft must operate in and demonstrate survivability of prior to production and deployment to be a single environment that provides both peak and average field level tests at the same time (instead of splitting the standard RF environment into a peak and an average field level test) just like the aircraft would see when deployed. We propose to develop under this SBIR a device and system that shall meet both the peak and average E-field levels at each of the four standard environments given within the MIL-STD-464 and MIL-HDBK-235 capable of generating a peak of 100 Kilowatts and average field of 1000 Watts. With our proposed approach, the extremely high peak power is still produced while at the same time the desired average power is also produced by a single device. The device and associated system shall also provide an illumination area of at least two foot by two foot on target at not less than ten feet separation distance. In addition, the proposed device approach minimizes the power supply requirement to be lower than for any other types of equivalent vacuum electronics devices including traveling wave tube (TWTs). Benefits: Anticipated Benefits/Potential Commercial Applications of the Research or Development include atmospheric environment sensing, spectroscopy, radar, imaging, near object detection and imaging for the development of monitoring and detection systems for all-weather, day-and-night operations (i.e., millimeter wave imaging, airport surveillance, intrusion detection, and harbor traffic monitoring), gigabit data rate communications, power amplifiers for gigabit wireless or wireless broadband communications (data, voice, video) to be used in commercial buildings and eventually homes, medical and dental, and security systems. Additional commercial applications for these source products also include fusion plasma research and thermal interactions and processing of materials, collision avoidance systems, and a host of other fundamental and basic scientific, academic, and research applications. Dual use and commercial applications for high bandwidth/data rate microwave and millimeter wave amplifiers and related systems include government, military and commercial communications, military "comms on the move", high resolution missile seekers, active denial including personal and portable active denial systems, missile seekers, electronic warfare, military and commercial radar, imaging radar, all weather radar, weapons detection, high data rate communications and related applications.
