Development of Novel Phase Shifterless RF Phase Array Antenna Systems
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / STTR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / NAVY
Research Institution:
University of California, San Diego
Principal Investigator:
Christopher Saint, Vice President of Engineering – (530) 823-9786
Award Amount:
$69,823.00
RI Contact:
Dr. Buckwalter
Abstract:
Coupled oscillator arrays provide electronic beam-steering for phased array antennas without the need for RF phase shifters. However, Defense systems require a large number of elements in the phased array antenna to generate antenna patterns with narrow beamwidth. This proposal outlines the… More
Low-noise amplifier (LNA) and Power amplifier (PA) for Radio-Frequency (RF) System-on-Chip (SoC) Applications on Silicon on Sapphire (SOS) Substrates
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / DMEA
Principal Investigator:
Martin Biller, Principal Investigator
Award Amount:
$98,268.00
Abstract:
This proposal explores the feasibility of a communication system based on the modulation of a magnetic field. The principle of mutual induction states that the voltage induced by mutual induction in one inductor is always proportional to the rate of current change in the other inductor. If one… More

Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / DMEA
Principal Investigator:
Chris Saint, VP Engineering
Award Amount:
$99,626.00
Abstract:
Silicon on Sapphire technology offer several advantages over bulk CMOS and BiCMOS technologies for the design of RFICs (RF Integrated Circuits) for the System on Chip radio applications. These advantages include superior radiation hardness, improved isolation between circuits, higher efficiency… More
