This program is aimed at the development of low loss (less than 1dB), wide band, true-time-delay phase shifter circuits using thin-film BST (Barium Strontium Titanate, a tunable dielectric). Recent advances in BST deposition technology have led todramatic improvements in material quality, making… More

"Thin film ferroelectric phase shifters will be developed for advanced radar and communication systems. The objective of the project is to demonstrate thin film ferroelectric phase shifters at 20 and 40 GHz. In Phase I, thin film ferroelectric deviceswere shown to be technologically feasable and… More

Agile is proposing to develop high performance acoustic X band filters that include the switching functionality built right into the filters themselves. Details are proprietary.

Understanding and minimizing RF loss in tunable components is key to the successful integration of this technology in high performance wireless devices. Filter applications, in particular, fundamentally require extremely low loss to operate efficiently. Agile's high-frequency tunable filter… More

The "crown dice" ceramic items will become available by pouring clay into moldings , than burning them at the kilns and painting them to be ready to go for the shelves . the design is : below box --dice; on top of the box are joker sticks.

As antennas decrease in size their efficiency and bandwidth decrease. In order to improve the efficiency and frequency coverage of small antennas one must find a way to improve upon the Chu limit. Agile's proven approach is to use tunability to improve the Chu limit thereby allowing a small… More

The proposed project focuses on a new technology that has a built-in switch to turn the filter on and off, and thus is functionally equivalent to a high-selectivity filter and a low-loss switch, where the switch draws no DC power. Agile calls this new invention the Switchable Trimmable Acoustic… More
